abated to such an extentby the com-

and others of labor shortage' that he
was instructed in March, 1916, not to
press recruiting, "and," adds the
former Minister of Militia, "recruiting
today is and has been dead in Canada
for fighting purposes." Any person
who has observed conditions in this

VERY LITTLE DRINKING.
Lt. -Ceti Leiria Says Candie° Soldiers
Are Temperate.
In the House of Cowwous last week
Hou. Rodolphe Lemieux tweeted. up
the matter of the alleged abuse of
liquor by the Uanadien soldiers in
Eugtmnd. The dii.cusswn which fol-
lowed took • wide scope, and included
some remarks trout Lt. -Cols H. h.
Lewis, member fir West Huron, who
is reported to Hiosard as follows :
Mr. E. N. LEWIS (West Huron):
Reteret.ce bas been wade to the wet
canteen to the camps in Canada. 1
was for ab4ot four or five months in
the Isrgrrt artillery cap ever held in
Canada ; and, with one exception—
that of a wan who had Oren on lervs
and who was brought in uodrr guard
flow North Bay --three was uut one
memo. mao in theta camp of fits thous-
and tune, to my knowledge—mod 1 run
around practically all the time—under
the eutlurnce of liquor. Now, in re-
ference to the campd in England, I am
sorry that the hon. member for Rou-
ville (Mr. Lemtrux)—
Sir SAM HUGHES : The hon.
1 gentleman (Mr. Lewis) says that ■t
Petrwaws, be wan rrouud alithe time,

Mi. LEWIS : Nu, eft. anyone who
knows we kouwe diffes•ent. 1 am
awry the hon. member tor Rouville
has sero tit to be lug rap this matter. 1
have no ubject to pis talking pro-
hibition any where at the proper time.
Temperate living is the right prin-
ciple. as every right-thinking man
will agree. Bot, when recruiting is at
its present stage io Canada, to make
statements in 111ea House to go broad-
cast through the country, founded on
erroneous statements which the bon.
gentleman has received, 1 think is •
mistake.
Mr. LEMIEUX : If the hon. gentle-
man will allow me, my statement.
were not based on (acts received from
private sources. I base ahem on an
article in The Finan cod Post which he
open to everybody to read. And I
may say that I avoided reading the
most serious statement. contained in
.bat article.
Mr. LEWIS : I notice that $ rever-
end grotlew,au in London, Ontario,
Mr. Flanders, made a etatewent two
months ego on the platform, and
lettere came is Iron) returned soldiers
by the dozens absolutely refuting that
statement. 1 believe i had exxptioo-
al opportunities while I was in Eng.
land to bays knowledge of the tacta in
reference to this matter. When I
first reached there I wee informed by
the genetel to charge of the division
in which my battery was statiooed,
that., owing to my emceeSa in tecruit-
mg, I should get as much knowledge
a. 1 could in reference to the camps
and the Gnatsient of the Canadians in
England and France, and should then
return to Uenada fur the purpose of
recruiting more men for the artillery,
that more men was the great new.
Fur that purpose i wee there. I with

THE CRISIS.
From The Globe.
No one can rise from • careful study
of the appeal in this issue flow the
Organ -z tion of Resources Committee
without feeling that "famine and
world-bunger are o0 our threshold,"
and that we must produce more food
or face a period of terrible want and
suffee ing.
The high net of living should con-
vince the most sceptical that we are
laying 10 no ordinary times. Canada
ieoutside the irer.,z roe, it is true, and
does not yet know what it means Oa
he put on limited rations, as in Britain,
and to be redo ricted in the use of meet
and other comforts of life. It is diffi-
cult for those who at present experi-
ence no shortage in food t . realize
that world -hunger may come before
the 1918 crop is harvested, unless those
who own or till the soil make good
use of 1t this season. A place of honor
itt the firing line awaits the termer in
the fight against Germany. As Mr.
Lloyd ti.orge says :
"The line which the British'E1u-
pire holds sgaintt the Germans is

that repeatedly. It may have been a(

could not possibly get anything to

day from • young man. written on the 1
31st March, and hesaid that no matter ,
what clothes they had. the cold damp'

Does the hon. gentleman think of com-
paring the action of the Russians with

Could our young men do what they

in the camps in England, I believe
there will not be any camps there in
two or three month^. The men will
all be at the front, because, from the
present state of recruiting, there will
be no one to take their pieces. 1 am
very sorry to differ from my hon.
