And _vet with all this unswerv- ing advocacy i?) of conscription these same papers are just as uiisivervingly advocat- ing a referendum, advocating an appeal to the people as to their willingiiessto enforce conscription! What would such an appeal mean? Where would these supposed advo- cates of consc1'iption stand on the question in their canvas? Where would E. M. Mc Donald and William Pugslcy and Frank Oliver stand iii this campaign? Would they solicit the support of their constituents for the Borden measure of Conscription? Where would the pi‘esumabl\' loyal liibcral press stand? Is not the whole idea of a rc- ferendum a cloak for an opportunity to Every Liberal paper in the dominion-with the few exceptions above n otcd-is screaming with platitudcs about the duty of Canadians in this crisis and with fault- findings and criticisms of the only measure through which they admit this duty can be performed. What effect would a referen- dum campaign under these conditions have upon public opinion in Canada? And while public opinion in Canada would be under- going this new process of crystalization what would be the effect upon our boys at the front who are wearily keeping up the struggle in the hope that the assistaiice we had promised them may arrive before it is too late? Think of it! Our Caiiadian casualties have been not less than 180 daily- and sometimes mitch more--since the 9th of April- last. They have been fighting day -and night. winning glory for themselves and for us-and we wasting weeks and months in useless and meaningless debate as to whether we shall sehd them assis- tance or let them go on suffering and dying! It was necessary that there should be speeches in parliament on the conscription "measure, necessary that the press should_ discuss it for it had been strong- lv' opposed bv leading Liberals.

RIGHT LEADERSIIII’ Dr. Edwards. the member for Fronte- nac. speaking in the House of Commons thc other day made a remark that was at once a tributc to the inemory of one of thc greatest of Canadians and a rendering of their due to the people of Quebec. "If," he snid. “we had now a Sir George Etienne Cartier to lead the French-Canadians we should today have had as many recruits from Quebec in proportion to its popula- tion as we have from any other province in Canada.” Commenting on this the Mail and Empire says: Fifty years ago Quebec had the right leadership. If it had not had, the project of Confederation would have been blocked. Both Sir John, Macdonald aiid\Sir Charles Tuppei' declared' that but for the loyal and wise endeavors of Sir George E. Cartier, this Dominion could not have been started on its course. Fortu- nately for Quebec and for the Dominion; Cartier was not only a statesman, a patriot and a Canadian of great force of character, but he was also a power among the peo- ple of French-speaking Canada. And he was a true champion of them and their race. In public life they never had a stauncher friend or one who did so much for their real and lasting good. They trust- ed him and he proved faithful to them. He did not mislead them. They would have been a many times happier and more pros- perous people to-day and of far greater in- fluence in the affairs of their country, if it had been their lot to be guided throughout thc whole fifty years by leaders of Cartier’s loftincss of mind. He was a very sincere upholder of British connection, looking upon the Crown as an unfailing security of the rights of all the peoples living under it. To demagogues and their arts he had the strongest antipathy. Demagogites, how- ever, are having their day in Quebec now. They have poisoned the minds of the people against their English-speaking fellow-ci- tizcns and have done what they could to alienate Quebec affections from the Empire and from relations and objects that were dear to Cartier. Quebec would have been doing her duty to-day had she not had false leaders, men desperately bent on their own ends instead of the welfare of their pro- vince or their country. All who have grate- ful remembrance of the work that Cartier did ought now to feel that they owe it to his memory to trv to be fair to Quebec and beware of misjudging its people. ` Put_the blame on the right shoulders. Reckless men, disloyal men. men without heart, and men without political principle are contending for the upper hand in that province. They are competing bythe same methods. Their appeals and suggestions are all of the same mischievous kind. The best wish we can offer Quebec on this fiftieth anniversary of Confederation 'is that there mav now arise in her midst a commanding spirit as Sir George E.

Af- fairs there were in an unsettled state. the Moioccan qicstlon being acute. The Russian statesman was informed that if matters grew more serious lt would be utterly impos- sible for France' tolend any money to Russia.

Witte asked for dctalls. but. the Kaiser laughlngly told him he wodld have to question the Czar. as it would be improper for him to furnish the particulars. Much disturbed, Witte returned to Vetrograd, and began an investiga- ltlon. He closely exam,'.ned all the nwmbers of the Czar’s entourage who had attended him at the Bjorka meeting. and what he learned con- viiiced him that some form of treaty had been signed. \Vltte, who had no niorefetaiyot’ tho Czarthaii oi' any other niani. immediately sought an inter- view with his i-‘overeign and challeng- ed him to produce! his copy of the .'lreat_v.» 'Rcluctantly Nicholas con- fessed that. hc had signed on behalf of Russia an offensive and defensive treaty_wlth Germany.
