government; it contaminates its surroundings and leaves
few within its preetincts untainted.
less stand he has made. At the convention at which he
was chosen standardbcarer, the members of the party
placed themselves squarely on record as unalterably op-
posed to those political methods which rcs'ulted in the
downfall of the late Government, and also with the
methods by wliiih the Norris Government went into power.
The t‘onservative party is to be congratulated for its un-
compromising declaration that in these matters justice
must be untrammollcd and that retribution must be ex-
aeted from all those guilty of wrong-doing in coiinectlon
with the Parliament Building frauds. This declaration
should go far towards restoring the Conservative party of
lilanitoba to the confidence of the people of that province
after the dei-ks have been elenrcd and the wrong-doers
ousted i`or ever from the party councils.
,THE CALL FOR MEN
Throughout the length and breadth of the province, ns
throughout “thc dominion and, in fact. throughout the
Empire, there is an urgent call for recruits and for fumls to
provide our soldiers with erluipment. The call is being
Iinadc from pulpit and platform and press; from the
'soldiers at the front. from wounded soldierswho have
returned i`r0|n the front. And it is being responded to by it
large proportion of our people, by men who, in order to
respond, must break home tics. must leave comfortable
homes, lucrative employment, prosperous business.
These men are responding voluntarily, without pressure.
without threat. They have a perfect right to refuse.
Neither King nor military commander can compel them to
enlist. The) only power that can exercise any control over
their action or can determine whether they shall or shall
not enlist, is their own conscience.
Now, why should they enlist? Simply that they may
enjoy the glorious privilege of refusing to enlist if they
wnnt to. If they were in Germany they would not be asked
to enlist. they would be ordered to do so, and if they
refused they would be shot. Suppose Germany should win
in this war, what then? Our first consciousqloss would be
that of liberty, that of being free to serve or not to serve
where others wanted us to. We would lose our lands, our
goods, our property; that we could endure, but to be
owned body and soul, to be the chattels of a despot. and
be compelled to do his will and his bidding insload of our
own-that would be a condition which to our British
blood would be infinitely worse than death.
lt is to avert this that the call is resounding to-day
through the British Empire; it is to nvert this that every
man with red British blood in his veins is responding to
the call.
it is lnmentable that there are those who wouldwgo
down into slavery itself rather than abandon their money
making. their pleasure seeking, or thc little place they
occupy in the "social" sun. lt is nothing to them that
good men are buying for them with their lives the freedom
which enables them to refuse to do their duty. These
mon may think that the danger is not as great-as it is
painted. They are buoying themselves up with the belief
that this is merely a scare to compel them to do an
unpleasant duty that others, more honourable and more
manly than they, will do for them while they sit safely
at home enjoying their ease and pleasure and money
making. But it is no mere scare. '
Look at thc situation squarely in the faco. The Rus-
sians arc being driven back; the Allies are making slow
gains in Gallipoli; the Italiana are pushing the Austrians
back slowly in the Isonzo Valley; while the British and
the Fri-,iieli on tho western front are at a stand still. This
situation may bc due to one of two causes. lt may be that
the Allies know something of the internal conditions in
Germany. and that tho Germans arc nearer a state of-
collapse thnn would appear on the surface, or it may be
that the Allies are not strong enough at the present time
to force them back. There is no other condluslon possible.
If the latter ls the real situation. then we ` ust send more
men or the result will be a stalemate an£ peace will be
patched up with Germany in possession ot'Belglum, North-
ern France and Poland. This for Britain would be the
beginning, not the end, ofthe war. for in a few years
Germany would use all the resources of these countries
and her own to build a fleet and Britain would have to
grapple with her single-handed, and it is a very grave
question, with the facts now in our possession. what the
result would be. ll is quite clear that the effort to end
the war then in our favour would be very much more costly
than it would be to end it now. Our duty. therefore, is
plain, unpleasant though it may be. We must rise to the
occasion and throw our lives and our possessions into the
melting pot. We must be prepared to hght s decisive battle
that will end for ever the tyranny that threatens to crush

The removal of the shells will be far more advantageous

We commend this report, not to Mr Bell, who is
thoroughly familiar with it, but to those of his audience
who may not have had tiio opportunity of perusing it when
first mode public. \Vhat are we to think of a contro-
versiallst who would deliberately suppress the facts in
order to make a little political capital out ot’ it at the ex-
pense of a great and growing industry?

Shirking is becbniing a pretty serious joke. "It'g all
very well to talk about police-women. but what could they
do against us men?" said a civilian youth, to which the
dcmure maiden promptly replied: "l suppose the author-
ities think they would easily be a match for the shrimps
