during the week On the Western front T Commons to accept a permanent one
and also on the Italian front things
are pretty much at a standstill. On
the Eastern front the Germans are
still steam -roiling tournania, and al-
though, they are meeting with desper-
ate resistance, they are atilt adefancing.
On the other hand, the Russians on
their portion of the front have been
ineethig with eonsiderable success.. The
moat Serials situation is the attitude
of Greeceewho appears only to be wait-
ing until Germany has overrun Rou-
mania, when she will be able to join
hands with her, and then they will
come out openly on the side of the en-
emy. The Allies, however, have atlast
tired of the waiting game, and have
tient oi final ultimatum to King Con-
stantine, the answer tie which must be
yes or no, and as the Germans are
stili a long way off, and the Allies are
-in a position to. enforce a -blockade,
which would mean starvation, it is irt
expected that the King,na matter what
his personal sympathies are, will risk
his throne by apenly joining with Ger-
many now. There is no question but
that he would adopt such a course were
Germany in a position to give immed-
iate help, but as /she is unable to do
this, and the Allies will not withheld
their ultimatum until she is in a po-
sition to do -so, King Constantine, being
a film believer in self-preservation,
will ,not dare to refuse their den -lands,
and as these demands are final, it looks
as if Greece will remain neutral at
least.
Casualty lists published by the War
Office shoW that in October the Briqsh
army lost 4,378 officers, of whom 1,459
Were killed, 2736 -wounded and 183
missing. In November the total was
2,305, of whom 806 were ldlled, 1,386
wounded and 113 are missing.
These figures bring the total losses
anion officers since the begimiing of
the war to December 1, to 53,122, of
whom 15,696 leave been ldlled or died
of wounds, 33,970 wounded and 3,466

as Senator; one resigned to take a
Government job • on the Quebec Har-
bor Board; one resigned to run. for the
Quebec Legislature; one resigned as a
protest agamet the extension of Par-
liament; one resigned over a question
of party patronage; two resigned on
account of graft, and four died. Of the
nine who resigned, four did se to take
snug billets, two because they Were ex-
communicated by Premier Borden, two
teatime they SAW what was coming at
•the next general election, and one be-
cause he couldn't handle the spoils of
office the way he liked.
In the six Liberal constituencies
now vacant four died, one resigned to
accept the arduous duties of Premier,
of Saskatchewan, while another re-
signed to run for the local Legislature
of NOVA, Scotia, to which .he was el-
ected.• In other words, no Liberal shift-
ed to grab a soft snap,. The only
thing that Moved them away, , was
death or the prospect Of harder work
than that on which they were then en-
gaged.
The two - vacant seats in Manitoba
are Lisgar and Brandon. •Lisgar was
represented tuitilia year and a half ago
by William Henry Sharpe, who .eesign-
ed to contestea seat in the, Local Leg-
islature. Manitoba went Liberal, and
incidentally Mr. Sharpe was defeated.
Lisgar is normally a Liberal cm -teat -I
uency, end will doubtless go that way
at the next general election- for the
Dominion. There was nothing in it for ,
Billy, se they bound up his wounds by
making him a Senator.
The same way with Brandon, nor-
mally a Liberal conetittiency,_ but lost
for a while to Sir J.A.M. Aikins, who,
net finding as Much room in public life
at Ottawa as he expected, resignc1 to
incur the same disaster as overwhelm-
ed Mr. Sharpe. Like Mr. Sharpe he
Plucked the &ewer victory from the
nettle defeat and is DOW Lieutenant -
Governor of Manitoba. Sir James and
Senator Sharpe both showed rare in-
teligence in getting in out of the wet.
The four vacant seats in Nova Scotia
are Kings, Antigonish, Yarmouth and
Colchester. Kings has been vaeant a
year and a half. It was represented by
Arthur DeWitt Foster, who bought
imperannuated horses - for ' the army
and was edged out by Prep -der Borden.
It is said Arthur regretstaking the
hint so soon, seeing how much long-
er some of the big fellow's in the Cab-
inet were kept on. Kings • will go back
to its eld love at the next general el-
ection -since Confederation it has
gone Liberal ten times to two. . The
other Conservative constituency in
Nova Scotia, namely Colchester, has
been vacant at this writing about Mx
weeks. John Stanfield, M. P,, the chief
Conservative Whip, having resigned
lecause he and General Manager Gut-
elius hada quarrel as .to who handed
mit the jobs on the Intercoloniale Col.
• Stanfield's resignation was carefully
placed with theSecretaryof the houn-
ty Conservative Association. If it has
not reached Ottawa yet, it probably
won't stick.
One of the vacant constituencies held
by a Liberal is Antigonish, for which
William Chisholni was the member un-
til six months ago. As Mr. Chishohn's
constituency in the federal parliument
was gerrymandered . out ofexistence
by the Redistribution Act, he antici-
pated his retirement by running for
the same constituency in the Nova Sco-
tia Legislature, to which he WAS dulyt
elected. Bowman B. Law, M. P, who
represented the Liberal constituency
of Yarmouth, N.S., perished in the
Parliament building fire last February.
In Quebec there are five vacant con-
stituencies, four nominally Conserva-
tive and one Liberal.As far as Quebec
is concerned the Borden Government

has decided to take no changes. From

that Parliament was outstaying its
welcome. Colonel Baker, the Conser-
vative member for BrOrne,was killed in
action in Flanders. Ci W. Lovell, the
Liberal member for Stanstead, died a
year ago.
In New Brunswick, James Reid, the
Liberal member for Restigouche, died
over a year ago. About the same time
James Richards, the Liberal member
for Prince, P.E.I., also died. No sug-
gestion has been made that these con-
stituencies be opened.
In Ontario, there are five vacant con-
stituencies, all of which went Censer -

THE VACANCIES IN THE
COMMONS.
In a recent speech before the Men-
teral Reform Club, Mr. Hartley Dew -
art K.C., M.P.P., drew attention in a
highly detailed and statistical manner
to the fact that over half a enillion
people -to be accurate, 536,684- are
=represented in Parliament. This
state of affairs which is a crying scan-
dal is not likely to be changed, except
for worse, until a general election
comes along and re -franchises these
neglected voters.
In its policy of letting well enough
alone the Borden Government takes
no chances with bye -elections. Little
does it care whether or not one four-
teenth of the total population of Can-
ada is deprived of a voice in Parlia-
ment so long as its own majority in
the House of Cornmons is relatively
safe.
The constituencies which rernain va-
cant number nineteen, Their names
and populations are as follows: Lis -

Death of Thomas O'Rourke. -One
of the oldest, hest „known and highly
vespected residents of the towrship,
and one of the all top few remaining of
the great early pioneers, passed away
at his home on the 6th concession on
Saturday la.st, in the person of MT.
Thornae O'Rourlie, in his 87th year.
Mr. O'Rourke was liorn in County Get-

with his parents when a boyithe family

- they remained only a few Weeks, after
which they .moved to McKillop, where

60 years ago last May, Mr. O'Rourke
was united in marriage to Miss Ann
Hughes, daughter of the late -Daniel
Hughes, they being at the time of
his death, the oldest married couple
in the township. After. the marriage
ceremony which was solemnized at St.
Columban, the youngt couple took the
bush path to their faren.Lot 4, aionces-
sion 6, which was then a trackless for-
est, where they rnedin a small clearing
and erected the log- cabin, which was
their first home. At that lime McKil-
lop was little less than wildernees, Mr.
O'Rourke having to walk through the
bushtoHarmerhey,which was his near -
.est market, for flour and other pro-
visions, but by courage, in,dustry and

held from St. Patrick's church, Dub-

in the family plot in Dublin cemetery..
and the esteem in. which the deceased
was held was amply testified by the
