Reports received by the Militia De eartment lit Ottawa Indicate that em Ilstment all over Canntia is now pro reeding smoothly, and the numbers who are applying bear out the forecast that far more than the total number actually required will volunteer. Al- together tie re will be twenty-five thousand • men mobilized at Quebec. and of these ta enty-oue thousand will be sent across the Atlantic .a soon as the word comes from the Imperial Government. There will be ample work for the remaining four thousand In Canada, for garrison and patrol duty. There will also be available suffi- cient for a second army contingent from the Dominion. According to the opinion of military authorities at Ot- tawa, there is a strong probability that a second army costiugtuit will be re- quired front here.

OVER A BILLION iffitsii sotimiRs FOR WAR FUND NOW OfI "INTINCNI illaied Kitchener Asks for 1100,000 Men as an Addition to the Army— Premler's Statement The House of Commons unanimous - sr passed a war credit of 2600.000,000 ItOr the Increase of the British army Thin is the !mound war credit passed by the Housethe sum of 2626,000.000 Premier Asquith informed the lifilMbers that Field Marshall Earl ItItrhiptior wanted power to Increase Us British army of 600,000 men On the new War Ministers' behalf the Premier asked the House of commons to consent to this This Premier de - boded England's course in joining In the war. In strong language he de tended intervention, denouncing Ger- loony's attempt to bargain with Bus load at the expellee of France. " It woold have been Infamous for hhgland to violate her treaty oblige Sons," he declared, amidst a storm of e beers. " We had pledged our honor, and to have refrained from action would be to say we were no longer eapable of keeping our word." The Prrmler told the House that the white paper issued by the (eye ernment showed how strenuous and Unremitting had been the efforts of Mr Edward Grey, the British Foreign Beeretary, to secure for Europe an honorable and lasting peace. " An Infamous Proposal." After reading Slr ledwerd Goecheres (teepee -h. saying that Oermany had made "a strong bid for British neu- trality," the Premier remarked that Germany's suggestion amounted to "the infamous proposal that we ithould give her a free hand to annex the whole of the extneEnropean poe- *erosions of France. If Great Mt- tein had aceepted. What reply could ghe have made to the Belgians' ap- peal' She could only have replied that we had bartered away to the power threatening her our obligations woulwry our plighted word. What tt have been Great Britain's posi- tion it she had assented to this in- ftmouit proposal, and what was she to tit in return' Nothing but a pro mise given by a power which at that Moment was announcing its intention of violating its own treaty. " We bold have covered ourselves with honor and betrayed the. Interests our country tr we had accepted tt. We are entitled to say for our coun- t; that we have made every effore, peace, and that war has been fore - ed upon oar country. The Govern - Welt is confident that the nation Is brisheathing the sword In a just cause. Wh are fighting. firstly, to fulfil inter- Imilonal obligations which, if entered into by private individuals, no self- respecting man could have repudiat- ed: and secondly, to vindicate the 'principle that small nations were not to be crushed In defiance of interna- tional good faith at the arbitrary will of a 'drone and overmastering power A Clear Conscience. "No nation ever entered into a greet contest with a clearer con- tinence or a stronger conviction. It is striking for the defence Of • girin- cajole. the maintenance of which is the vital civilisation of the world. As we have entered the struggle let us now make sure that all our resources, sot only those of the United Kalsdotn, but those of the vast Empire of which It is the centre are thrown into the scale." The Premler made a brief reference to the appointment of Field Marshal Kitchener as Secretary for War He said that Earl Kitchener's connection with the Government did n ot Identify him with any political party In a great public emergency he had eesponded to • great public call. and he would have in the die- eharge of his most arduous task the oomplete conndence of all In behalf of Lord Kitchener. the Premier asked pewee to locrease the army by not less than half a million men. "I am en- couraged to ask thiahe said, "net eely by reason of our own sense or the gravity of the circumstances, but hr the knowledge that ladle is yrs • 'to *end um two Chalons, and beery ewe of the self-governing Dom- lilliOrte has spontaneously offered to the tamest limits of Rs possibility. both In men and moony, all the help ft ran afford the temples.
