Ottawa, May 14, —Farmers by thou- sands, from Ontario and Quebec, from the Maritime Provinces and from the big wheat growing centres beyond the Great Lakes, crowded into Canada's capital to -day to give weight to their -demand that the exemption of farmers and farm help from military service should be continued, notwithstanding the demand for inen to fight overseas, PRESENT PETITION. Their petition presented to the Gov- ernment recited the drastic measures being taken all over the world to meet the emergencies of food production and also all the pledges made by the Government to increase supplies 'for the Allies, "Therefore," concluded the petition, "as farmers and loyal Canadian citi- zens, we hereby enter our most sol- emn protest against the great breach "of faith by the breaking of those sacred covenants and 'taking from our farms the very labor which will en- able tis to produce, and the absence of which, more particularly on Ontario live stock farms, will paralyze produc- tive'.effort,'and we exhort your Gov ernment to stay its',hand in 'these pro- ceedings, by instructing the military authorities to still grant continuous weave of absence to all •bonaflde young farmers," • in his reply the Prime Minister em phasized the necessity, of holding the line bit the western front.

The Government sympa- thized with the 'farmers but held out ho hope of fur- ther exemptions. if the channel'ports should be' reached through the breaking of that laze it would be, to say the least, extremely problematical whether • any ,of that production of which you speak could: be made of service to the Allied na- tions overseas or to our inlen who are holding tttat line, 1 regard it as the supreme duty of this Government to see that these men, some of whom have been fighting• for three years, are• sustained by such 'reinforcements as will enable them to hold 'the line.
