llere it became quite apparent that there was little
chance of getting uiiaiiiinity oi' opinion in the Opposi-
tion i'aiil<.<_. They were all at sixes-aiid-scveus, and

it was evident when the House resumed at night
that the Opposition realized that they had created zi
had impression by their divergence of opinion, and an
attempt was made to convey the idea that they were
happily iiiiziiiinious. [lui it failed iiiis/crably. l\'li'

oliaitically that “the only ground _on which he supported
the measure was that it docs not purpose to add one
dollar to the liabilities 'of the Proviiice." i\-ir (iallaiit
had no such sertiples. lic said “ If the Govcrniiiciit
had come to the iiouse and asked $5,000 for the
purpose of buying tile drains for this purpose I believe
it.would have been the proper thing to do.” Mr
Saunders waxed quite iiidigiiaiit at ilic opposition that
had developed among his colleagues. “ lt docs seem
rciiiarkable to ine," he said, “ that inciiibers who have
spoken have shown an iiidiffcreiice to this matter of
drainage. l believe the fariiicrs ot' Queen’s and
King’s are behind ihc,iinies', if ii be true they do not
want tile drainage, and that ilie farmers of l’rince

oi Continental
ST. JOHN, N. B.. April i3.-One oi'
the niost interestliig passciigeiw-i to
arrive by tho Seaiidinnvlaii toiluy was
Major ltevcreiid John Priiiglo who
comes direct from the battle lilies in
l~`raiiee and Flaiiders and who is tah-
lin.: it rest iii (fniiadit before return-
ing to the front. Major Priiigle was
attached to the Zird Cuiiadinii Field
Arnbnlimcc and was one of the`Cliap-
laiiis with the lird Canadian liigiiland
Brigade.
When lie left the front on March
29th ilicopinlon amongst the men and
officers was that the titanic conflict
would be over before 'another winter.
“There will be a big drive soinewliero
this spring and when it comes it will
be the beginning of a very speedy
end," said Major Pringle. Ho was
much impressed with the spirit of the
Englisli people in the face of llie Zep-
pelin raids, "l had lieiird," said lie,
"that the Zapp raids were getting on
tho peoples nerves but this is not so.
The English people with characteris-
tic doggodness shut their teeth and
say they will work all the harder to
pay tho llnns back in their own coin."
Asked concerning the Canadian troops
Major Pringle said, "their chief vnlue
is their rcsourcefuinoss. No matter
what sort oi' u job they are put up
against tliey_um always adapt tl\ein~
selves to cireunistaiiees. The Frencli
army 'is the best of the continental
forces. it is o veritable machine and
has done fine work, but even the
French have to doff tlielrliats to the
Colonial troops when it comes to get-
ting up against the unexpected." For
months Major Pringle has been quar-
tered at a little French village which
he refused to identify beyond saying
it was the “l\ub", from which most oi’
tho lighting men on ii front of 400
inilcs radlatetl. Troops for all sce-
tions of that front passed through it.
Some idea. of the immense trallle us
it result of that could he gained from
tlic fuct that it had been found nec-
essary to have the niaiu street of the
village paved with stone or the trans-
port trains would have become so mir-
od that progress would iiiivu been liii-
posslble. The (!niind_lan.=i have been
stationed to the left ui’ this village
wiili the north ol' liiiglanil and Scot-
tish reglineiits on tiic right. British

but ovcrytliiiig moved uloin: like clock

and munitions of war passed in steady
streams.

.One particularly interesting state-
ment from Major Pringle was that the
nieu at the front "resent strongly
the inenii,t petty partisan eriticlsin
being directed in Canada against the
Canadian Government, I will give you
it case in point. Take the Canadian
army boots. The Doliticlaiis oppos
ing the Goveriiniont said some hard
things about the Canadian boot but l
had one experience when at battalion
commander said to me, 'Mr.. Pringle.
if you can get 1,000 pairs of Canadian
boots over here you can sell them
all in ilve minutes., That 1 think is
a pretty good recommendation for the
Canadiau boots and that is the truth."
Tonight Maier Pringle left for Syd

days and about the last of this month
he will go to Montreal and Vancouv-
