x THE SOLDIER VOTE "
* * * * * * * * * * * *
The Windsor Reeord prints an ex-
tract from an officer's tetter, which is
rather a serious indictment of the met-
hod followed in taking the vote at the
Front. He says:
"During December an officer ar-
rived at our camp to take tite
votes of the Canadians in this
area. There were only eight or
nine Canucks. and we were all in
the room together. Particulars
were sworn. A boilot was Shoved
down with the words from the offi-
cer; "Going to vote for or against
the Government?"
"Several fellows voted against
conscription and the officer snapp-
ed at them. "What are you, Boche
or Ausrtian?" and remarks of the
same order. This coming from an
nfl]eer of the Umpty Limp battalion
to a chap of a fighting unit and on
doing what he can to carry on
seems lust a bit thick, doesn't it?"
A man at the Front had lust as much
right to a secret ballot as the man at
home, and if there was intimidation
practiced at the front it should be dealt
with by the sante machinery that at
home,
VOTE IS AGAINST
CHANGE OF TERM.
Results So Far in the Methodist
Church of Canada.
Methodists in Clinton and Wester t
OM trio are following closely the vote
now beim; taken on the itinerary
question in the church.
There are 2,074 circuits in the
Methodist Church in Canada and New-
foundland. Of these 726, up to Marsh
5, had reported tide result of the vote,
and on these 726 circuits there were
15,611 official members. Of that
number 8,152 were present at the
quarterly board meeting, and of the
8,162, five thousand seven hundred
and twenty-eight voted to retain the
present time limit to the pastoral
term. There were 2,438 voted for a
change,
Numerous suggestions have hum
made for changes. Some prefer a
three-year term, but there are those
who desire 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 end even 12 -
year terms. Others again would
eliminate the time limit entirely and
have the pastor remain as long as his
presence was aggreeable to the con-
greation and to himself. Some also
made suggestions as how to meet the
situation when one portion of the
Congregation desired a change, and the
other faction wished to cling to the
old minister,
What the result will ultimately be
may not even be guessed at as yet for
less than SO per cent„ of the Circuits
have reported the pleasure of their
board.
Gall far Soldiers of the Soil
HIS EXCELLENCY, THE DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE
Ottawa, March 15.—His excellency, the Duke of
Devonshire, governor-general of Canada, is warmly in
s} mpathy with the Soldiers of the Soil movement to
enroll an army of boys to help in the production of
food in Canada during the coming summer and aut-
umn. lie has issued an appeal directed to all boys in
Canada, He says.
"TO THE BOYS OF CANADA"
••Thousands of the best and bravest of our young
men are now fighting on the battlefields of France and
Flanders, and thousands more would willingly be a-
longside them if they were old enough enough to join
the army.
"But if they cannot go overseas, they have plenty
of opportunity here at home. Food is badly wanted.
Providence has been generous to us. We have vast
tracts of land crying out for cultivation. Here is the
opportunity for every healthy, active lad to do some.
thing. Much good work was accomplished last year.
This year the demand is greater than ever.
"[ confidently appeal to the boys of Canada to
make the best use of their brains and muscles and to
do their part in bringing victory to our cause,
DEVONSHIRE,
"Governor-General."
"Government House, Ottawa,
March, 1915.
Enrollment of the boys in the Soldiers of the Soil
will take place next week at High Schools, Y.M.C.A-'s
and other centres.
What such an army can do in actual work and in
saving the time of able-bodied men will amount to an
increase equal to upwards of four million bushels of
wheat. And it may be the last million bushels of
wheat that will win the war.
Every boy in 'Canada will be proud to respond to
the governor-general's appeal and to help to produce
the food that now counts for so much in the fight
against the Huns.
