SEAFORTH, Friday, June,22nd, 1917
THE DOMINION PARLIAMENT,
The -legislative halls have...been wit-
nessing some very stirring scenes dur-
ing the past week. The first real
party , storm. of the session arose
liat week during the passing of supply.
The tet;uble was caused by the ap-
pointment of a Frenchman, Ranoul
Revaulte to the position Oraccountant
in Hen. Mr., Sevigny's department.
Revault was formerly the edittor of a
newspaper Quebec, a paper that has
bitterly denounced recriiiting and en -
].r Quebec, since the beginning
of the war. Mr. Sevigny's explana-
tion of the. appointment Was that he
thedglit it a good thing to have this
rianei ..discontiinued, and the 'most
pleasant way of doing it was to give
the editor of it a good job at the ex-
pense of the .country. Perham*, it
was, but the Liberal Opposition .fld
not see it That way and a very'stormy
scene was enacted, the final outemite
of tVhieli•was that when adjournreent
tine .ceme, Mr. Sevigny had not re-
ceived a cent for the supply of his
--Department, nor is he likely to for
some eime to come.
On Monchty Premier Borden moved
the second reading of the Military
Service Act. The Premier spoke brief-
ly, giving the nuraber of men available
in Canada for military service under
the act and expressed the hope that
discits.sion ore the meesure would, be;
contineed with the least possible de-
lay. In his reply to Prender Borden,
Sir Wilfrid Laurier etated clearly his
opposition to. cons c r iien at the
present time without a referendum,
but stated equally as clearly that if
such it measure was endorsed by the
people; timwould give his best efforts
and aid! to the Government tor its
successful enforcement. In closing Sir
' Wilfrid put forward the following a-
mend/neat: 'That further consideration
of thie bill -be deferred until the prin-
cipal thereof, has been, by means of
a referendum, submitted to and ap-
proved by the electors of Canada."
_Although the leader of the Liberal
party in tCanada, Sir Wilfrid did not,
on thia occasion, speak for that party
as a Whole. There are many members
of that ,party in the country and in
the House openly ea favor of conscrip-
tion and who will vote for it. On
the other hand' there are a number of
Conservatives who are opposed to it
and will vote against the measure,
but the main opposition, of course,
comes from the French --Canadian Pro-
vince �f .Quebec. The opposition of
Quebeceto conscription is not by any
means newly fortned. In fact to un-
derstand the attitude of that pro-
vince against conscription it is neces-
sary to go back to the year 1909, when
acting upon a unanimous -resolution of
the House of Commons, the Liberal
party undertook the formation of a
Canadian naval service, which was to
co-operate with the naval forces of
other parts of the British Empire in
time of War. This policy was attacked
by the Nationalist party in Quebec,
on the score that it would draw Can-
ada into European wars, and so sum
ceesfui was their campaign that in
the first bye -election in Quebec after
the inauguration of the naval policy
that the Liberal candidate was de-
feated and a Nationalist candidate el-
ected. The Conservative party in Que-
bec did not place a candidate in the
field for this election, thus giving as-
sistance to the Nationalists. In the
general election of 1911 the Conser-
vatives made a secret agreement with
the Nationalists whereby Liberal can-
didates were to be opposed by Nation-
alist candidates in some ridings and
by Conservatives in others, and that
the _ Nationalists in their .campaign
were to receive Conservative funds
and support. The election in Quebec
was feught not on the reciprocity
issue, which was popular in Quebec,
but on the naval policy, which it was
claimed meant conscription, and con-
scriptioti was a hideous picture to a
French --Canadian. The Nationalists,
aided be the Conservatives, were so
etuccessful in this campaign that they
carried some seventeen seats, and re-
ceived as a reward three portfolios in
Sir Robert Borden's Cabinet. Realizing
the power this campaign had given
them over their Conservative ally, in-
stead off disbanding ,after their object
was aceeraplished, the Nationalist
parte ce:ntinued to exercise this pow-
er, anC to this hold on Sir Robert
Bordenia` Cabinet is to be attributed
the renewal of the campaign against
conscripl'en :n Oeisbec. In addition
to this the French-Canadian popula-
tion as a whole know practiCally noth-
ing about the causes leading up to the
••••••••••••••••••••••••••
war, n r the reason why the Allies
entered it, so that their opposition
to a ce,nscription measure is fa nat-
ural one.
- As We stated there will be party
'deviations on both sides, but the meas-
ure almost certainly will have a ma-
jority, in which eatio there will .be .a
generet election, the Government ask-
ing for a new twee of power
which to carry °tit their 'policy. I'f.
there is to be a war -time election, it
is indeed unfortunate that the main
iSSIns on which an election should he
fought,. viz., the GO' vernment's record
—and it is not a very savory one, as
many scandals and the waste of mil-
lions of dollars 9f the people's money.
}eve proven—sheuld be sidetracked.,
and. in its -piece substituted the issae
of conscription,- to which all Canade
is teady to lamit, providing it is
prawn necessa y and will be adminis-
tered by an honest adMinistration.
THE WAR SITUATION.'
There is little news finding its way
out from the Western front; but what
dces come would indicate that there.
will be an early resumption of oper-
ations on a large scale -in Belgium and
France, and it is quite probable that
they hare already commenced. The
Germans made several desperate at-
tempts to recapture the pusitiong *-
en by the French early in the week,
but in every case they were repulsed,
and suffered heavy casualties. On the
British front things have been com-
paratively quiet, and apart from
trench raiding operations and the de-
stroying of German dugouts, there his
not been much infantry action. There
has been, however, an intense artillery
preparation, which. usually preceiles
an offensive. Autliorative reports state
that thenAllies are complete masters
of the air in the West, and this fact
would indicate that another British
push is imminent, because the Ger-
mans, in losing control of the air, have.
lost the* observation and artillery po-
sitions, and tip, so to speak, forced th
shoot in the dark. Such a predicament
will be fatal to them, unless they re-
capture these positions Or retire. Hav-
ipg failed to make.any success in count
_ter attacks, they seem now about_ to
make a retreat. Hints of thii retire-
ment have been 'coming from German
sources for some -days, but whether
they will retire before they are pushed
out, probably the next few days will
tell. Slowly but surely the British
are regaining the territory on the
Vesten. front They have take m in all
600 square miles since the great offen-
.
sive on July 1st, 1916, and with the
land they, have taken 84,067 German
prisoners and 434 guns.
The Canadians are to have a Cana-
dian commander at the front. Sir Ar-
thur Currie has been called to fill the
position vacated by Sir Julian By -ng
a short time ago, and his appointment
is said to be popular with the Cana-
dian troops. Major' General Currie
was born in Middleiex County forty-
two years ago, but pi•evious to the war
he had been a resident of British Col-
umbia for a number of years. He.
went to England as a .Colonel of a;
British Columbia' Highland regiment
with the first contingent, and has been
through all the big engagements in
which the Canadians have participat-
ed. His predecessors, Generals Alder-
son and liyrig were both Imperial offi-
cers of long service and distinction.
In the House of Coinmons on Mon-
day last Sir Edward Kemp, Minister
of Militia stated that the total Canad-
ian casualties up to June 5th Were 99,-
639. jJnder the casualty heading
are included those killed in action, died
of wounds, died of sickness, presumed
dead, Wounded, missing and prisoners
of war, but does not apply to un-
wounded officers.and men in hospitals
or convalescent homes. Of the cas-
ualties 68,629 have .been wounded..
This does not mean that so many men
hiofe been wounded, as some have been
wounded twice and others more often.
On June 4th last there were 23,265
Canadian patients in hospitals and
convalescent home 'S in England. Of
the remainder some had recovered and
returned to duty. Fifteen hundred
medically unfit had taken their dis-
charge in England,. and 12,500 had re-
tureed to Canada.
Another German air raid was car-
ried out over the east and south-east
coast of England early Sunday ,morn-
ing last by two Zeppelins. Two per-.
sons were killed and sixteen injured
and considerable property destroyed.
The Germans, however, did not escape
scat free this time as one Zeppelin
was brought down in flames and all
its crew perished. This airship was
engaged by a British pilot of the Royal
Flying Corps and although she made
every endeavor to shake off her pur-
suer and get out to sea again, the
British airman was not to be denied,
and when a second British airman
joined the chase, it was just five min-
utes before the Zeppelin burst into
flames,. broke into two parts and
crashed into a field..

Letter of Sympathy. --Mrs. A.
Richardson, of the village, is in re-
ceipt of a letter from the officer com-
manding the 2nd Canadian Infantry
Battalion in France which says: "Dear
Madam,—No doubt previous to the
receipt of this letter you will have re-
ceived from official sources the sad
news of the death of your son, Pte. T
Richardson. May I extend my sin-
cere sympathy with you in the terrible
loss which has caused you so much
grief. Perhaps when time has light-
ened the burden of your sorrpw, it will
be some small consolation to you to
know that he died bravely in the great
cause for freedom and justice for
which we arerall fighting, and that
his name will ever be remembered as
one of the heroes of this great strug-
gle. During the period your son has
served in this battalion, he has been
highly spoken of by his officers as a
brave soldier and a true friend, and
that we all feel that while you have
lost your boy, we have lost our com-
rade.
Death of John B. NICLean.—By the

county, was at the time of its loca-
tion a dense bush. The deceased was
in early life the standby of the
home until he branched out for him-
self in order to make a home, when
he settled on lot 17, in the second
concession, where he remained for 34
years, and until the rnarriag of his
son James, who then took possession
of the homestead, and Mr. McLean
purchased a ferm near Sproat';
erickyard where he resided for some
fourteen years. Mr. McLean was net
the oldest man' in the township of
rj uckersmith, but at the same time he
had lived longer in the township thee
any other resident, 'his whole life
being spent there. In 1870 he was
married to Miss Mary Waleer, the
youngest daughter of the late George
Walker, of the Mill road, and sister of
Mr. John Walker of Brucefield. This
brppy union was of short duration,
and four years later, at the age of 25
years, Mrs. McLean was called to
her reward, leaving her bereaved hus-
band and two small children. Mr. Me-
hean was a man far above the average
in ability and held many responsible
positions in the gift of the people. He
acted as councillor and reeve of the
township for many years, and was al-
sc a member of the county council for
