The old method of taking the municipal hers as a b'anis and adding toit the, names obtained by regdstratfan is done away with, and the system of enumer- ation which hits prevetl'ad in the Do- minion 'elections recently held is to be substituted. The franchise leas been extended to women and soldiers, but bas not been 'hanged In other re- spects, The voters' lists will in fu- ture, be prepared muter the direction of a voters' registration board, said boards, save in t'he county of York, to consist of five mellsbers for each county.

The capture of Jerusalem by the British forces marks the end, with two brief interludes, of no more than 1200 years' possession of the seat of Christain religion by the Mohamme- dans, For 673 years the holy City has been undisputed ownership of the Turks, the last Christian ruler of Jerusalem being the German Em- peror,' Frederick II, whose short-lived domination last from 1229 to 1242. Apart from its connection with the campaign being waged against Turkey by the British -forces in Mesopotamia, the fall of Jarusualenl marks the de- finite collapse of the long protracted efforts of the Turks to capture the Suez canal and invade Egypt. Almost the first stove made by Turkey after her entrance into the war was a campaign against Egypt across the great desert of the Sinai peninsula. In November, 1914, a Turkish army, variously es- timated at from 75,000 to 250,000 Coen, march on the Suez canal and succeeded in reaching within striking distance of the great artifice! waterway at several points. For several months bitter fighting took place, the canal being defended by. an Anglo-Egyptian army aided by Australians and New Zealanders and French and British for- ces. Fur the greater part of 1915 con- flicting reports of the situation were received fruit the belligerents, but in December of that year, detinite in for- mation showed that the Turks had been driven back as fax as EI Arish, about 35 miles east of the canal, A lull oceurred then which lasted for six months and in June 1916 the Tares again adavnced as far as Katish, about 15 miles from the canal, Here they ware deetsively defeated, losing more than 3,000 prisoners and a great quan- tity of equipment. Another period followed in which the situation was greatly confused through the vague- ness and contradictory character of the official statements, but its December 16, the l3ritish stormed Ei Arish and a few days later severely defeated the Turks at Magdabah, about 60 miles to the south on the same front. Two weeks later the invaders had been driven off Egy,,t and the British forces crossed the border into Palestine. Thera had seen no hint from either official or unofficial sources as to a British intention to , undertake a de- finite invasion of the Holy Land, and it WAS with intense surprise that the world learned on March 7 last that the British forces had captured El Khalil 15 miles south of Jerusalem. El Khulil also known as Shellal and El Khalil is the modern name of ancient Bebron, the site of the tomb of Abraham and the home of David. Apparently the British advance to force to Hebron was not In ssufficientf o maintain a hold on this position, for while shortly afterwards the despatches from the Palatine front showed the British to have pushed up the coast to within a short distance of Gaza, their interior column was located some distance south of Beersheba, The cam- paign lapsed to stagnancy through the heated period, but was actively, renew- ed with the setting in of cooler weather lest fall. Early in November the activity which had been displayed by the British forces for some time bore fruit in a victory which resulted in the capture of Beersheba, With the taking of 1,800 prisoners. The British at this point were then 40 miles south Jerusalem. Simultaneously the 00041 column became active, and in a hot 'e agement with the Turks pene- trated tlfel Ottoman lines southeast of Gaza and by November 7 that city , :was In„ their hands and the British were pursuing the Turks n'orthward, after having inflicted eastlalties estimated as in excess of 10,0.0 epos them, exclusive of .nue LETTERS 1Vltat is the call' The Bugle Call The call that has no betters, The silver call, That beats then all; The music call for "Letters," You cnn take a silver trumpet And sound the dread "aiarm", T. A. will spring to action With his rifle ')teath his arm; But If you want to ,see him jump, Or run like a streak of hall, Just 'take the stupe old bugle And sound the call for "Mail." None who ain't been there himself Can tell just .what it means To have a live epistle From your home tucked In your jeans A dripping sweeet John Collins To a thirst you wouldn't sell, Ain't in it with the striving heart That gets a word from Nell. Or if the maiden's name be Kate, Or Jean, or Marguerite, A scented word of love -kin makes A week,s dull drudgery sweet, Why any mother's soldier -son Who hears that bugle cry, Just stops his heart and holds his breath For fear he'll be passed by. His hand is all a -tremble, His eyes stick out like pegs He goes all of a -quiver From the ague in his legs. And if his name's not on the list, He wilts like a frozen bud Until another mail -call drags Hint plousing thro' the mud, i•le ain't no correspondent, And his answers may be few; His opportunities are slim To write his billy' doo, But when he does, it is beneath A sputtteringpin.e-knot taper With the broken nib of an ink -starved pen On a scrap of cartridge paper. Now the moral is for folks at home: Don't wait for hint to write; And don't say: "Dear Tont-must close I hope this finds you right." A good, long, newsy letter Is the best that you can yield In the way of downright service To your Tommy in the field, merous prisoners taken, By this time the British inland force was again up in the neighborhood of Hebron, where the Turks were repbrted organizing for the defense of Jerusalem. Gen- eral Allenby, the British commander, meanwhile kept his forces near the coast in rapid motion northward, and after taking the railway line junction between Jaffa and Jerus- alem, pushed on to Jaffa and •captur- ed that important coast city, the port of Jerusalem. This was in mid-Nov- ember, By November 22 the British had pushed southwest from Jaffa 'until they were within five miles of Jerus- alem on the northwest. They begat drawing their lines closer about the city in this direction, while steady pressure was being kept by the in- terior column frofn the south and on December 7, General Allenby an- nounced that he had definite pos- session of Hebron. The city of Jer- usalem thus was virtually but off on all sides but the east. Few details have come through as to the progress of the encircling movement since that date, but the process must have been carried out with considerable rapidity to cul- minate as speedily as It has in the 'surrender of the city.

The slate to which (rormany, has been reduced by the way, the New York Times declares, is clear to the vision of that Hamburg' business nal who tells the Leipsic Neueste Nach eichten that Germany will be isolated commercially after the war, It snakes 00 difference, he says, whether Eng- land grants her "the freedom of the seas" or not; "no voluntary agreement of England's, no paper understanding, :an protect us." The German mer- .:hault marine has been destroyed; her commerce with the world is so ir- retrievably gone that we must liter- ally begin from the beginning again, and decades of strenuous work will not suffice to rebuild what has been destroyed in these three years." This calamity, he declares, has not been brought about so much by the forcible destruction of the merchant marine as by the alienation of hither- to neutral countries, which, of course, be ascribes to England's machinations, not to the real cause. The heaviest blow of this kind was the inducement of China and most of the South American countries to take steps of this nature. The Gertnan business man, who, after peace is de- clared, goes out into the world, will find ruins everywhere, and if he at- tempts to rebuild them he will be pre- vented by a wall of enmity. if this condition is kept up, he de- clares, "the German Empire \vould be reduced to a second-class power." All this he makes an argument tar coo issuing the war until England is thor- oughly beaten, so that she cannot ef- fectively keep up her enmity after peace is declared, It seems a non - sequitur, and inclines idle t,l believe that the conclusion is recorded 'only for the purpose of avoiding the censor- ship.
