THE WAR SITUATION
There has been some very severe
fighting on the western front during
-the past week,' especially against the
French. The Germans hatve made
teeny determined efforts at Verdun,but
"WV far have only succeeded in sacrific-
ing thousands of men. The French
haveshown_ themselves capable of
withstandieg tremenduous attacks and
better stilt to come back at the right
moment and deliver telling counter-
attacks. The object of the German ac-
tivity recently seems to have been an
effort to forestall a big French drive
which they fear is about to be launch-
ed. That there is an allied drive cent-
ing is indicated Aim. several sour-
ces and from the inability of the en-
emy to make any ,headway against the
French in their receit attempts it is
almost certain to be a tremendous
success when it does come, The tide
has .definiteltr turned on the side of
the French and if the British join the
French,Vhe coming offensive, erhich
they undoubtedly will. do,thenext
allied blow, will be a successful . one
indeed. There has been little activity
on the British front, but -preparations
are going forward, steadily and when
Sir Douglas Haig has things to his
liking he will make anothlr move, but
not -before.
On the Eastern front the Russians
are giving Germany many anxious
moments. She has been forced to
withdraw troops from the west to re-
lieve the strain in the east, which up
to the present time she has not 'suc-
ceeded very well ite,dotng. The Rus-
sian army is like a new being. It is
very evident that it is abundantly suret
plied with munitions and from the
'savage blows it is dealing the
Germane and the Austrians, and the -
success they have attained it is.also evi-
dent that their heart is in the work.
This last and best feature is the one
bright spot in the war cloud because
if it continues it will do more, probe
ably, than any other thing, to brig
a speedy peace, outside of a revolu-
tion in. Germany.
The results of tightening the British
blockade, by increasing their patrol
service are coming to light. Since
Saturday last four German steamers
have been captured by British ciene-
ers, four others have been sunk, and
two had to be abandoned. For some
time German boats have been trading
openly and without apparent risk be-
tween Holland and Germany. The ar-
rival, hoWever, of Japanese and Am-
erican light wareraft in British waters
have lefVBritain free to use her own
craft on extended patrol duty, and
hereafter the North Sea will be Just
ate dangerous a ground for 'German
IRoate as the Atlantic. The four
steamers will be a decided acquisition
to the British shipping fleet and others
are sure to follow. This effective
blockade will soon force Germany to
take up another hole in her belt.
Well founded rumors current dur-
ing the week point to the crumbling of
the German government and of in-
creaved internal ;edit, in that coun-
try. With a GovernMent controlled
press, a debating society for a parlia-
ment and the ;daises.- at the head of
affairs, of course not much informa-
tion concerning the state of mind of
the German people leaks out, but we
do know that a number of important
events have transpired during the
Week. One f these is the deposing
of the Chancellor Bethmann-Rollweg,
a war junker Of the -Mit water, and
the raising to his plao of a plain com-
moner, Dr. Michaelis. This is the
first time in 'German history that any-
one outiside of the nobility has oc-
cupied the Chancellorship The Kais-
er s troubles ere coming thick and
fast. For some months he has been
able to use practically his whole man
force in a defence of the western front
but now he has to meet a real Russian
offensive on the east. With the east
ard west fronts working together, and
the recent changes' forced on his Gov-
ernment at home, the war cloud does
not look as black as it did some time
ago.
There has also: been a shake up in
the British Cabinet. Sir Edward
Carson has nelinquishecl his post as
First Lord of the Admiralty and join-
ed the War Cabinet- without portfolio.
Sir Edward will be succeeded by Sir
Eric Campbell Geddes, who has been
Director -General of Munitions Supply.
inston Spencer Churchill succeeds Dr
Christonher Addison as Minister of
Munitions, Dr. Addison becoming a
Minister without portfolio in charge"
of reconstruction. The Right Hon.
E. S. Montagu is made Secretary for
India, succeeding S. Austen Chamber-
lain. The appointment of Sir Eric
Geddes as First Lord of the Admiralty
is another break with the tradition that
the Ministers should be members of
one of the Legislative Houses. The
new_ Finn Lord is a railwayman, not
a politician. *Until recently he was In.
charge of the whole army transporta-
tion; then he became Controller of the
Admiralty., with charge of all nava
constructilen. Such rapid rise to
the Position to wilich he is now ap-
pointed is quite remarkable and an-
other instance of how Premier Lloyd
George breaks with old political tra-
ditions..
THE. DOM ION 'PARLIAMENT.
Extension of the term of the pres-
ent Parliament of Canada Was en-
dorsed by the majority of the mem-
bers of the House of Conamene on
Tuesday. It met with opposition how-
ever, from such a body of Liberal
members and of such a character
that the petitien asking it will likely
never be forwarded to the Imperial
Parliament. In other words there will
be an election, probably, within the
next few weeks, as Premier Borden
stated in presenting the measure that
unless it passed the House unanimous,
ly, or practically so, it Would be im-
possible to seek from the British Par-
liament the necessary legislation to
extend the Canadian Parliamentary
term, because it would be impossible
to carry into that body a controversy
begun in Canada. Premier Borden al-
so expressed a wish to see a Coalition
Goverment, but Mr. Pardee, Chief
Liberal Whip, made it very plain that
such a Government was an impossibil-
ity with the different elements 11,0*
composing the two parties in the
House.
The presentation of the, extension
resolution itself was delayed by an
amendment by Hon. George P. 'Gra=
ham coiling for delay. "until the Gov-
ernment brings before Parliament -ea
measure providing that thlese best able
• pay will be asked to contribute
their, fair sharyteof the cost of the
war; and by 'Which the agricultural,
industrial, transportation and natured
reseierees of the cduntry will be organ-
ized to give the greatest possible as-
sistance to the Empire and the war
and to reduce the cost of living to
the Canadian people." The vote on this
.
amendmenttfound a group of conscrip-
tionist Liberals lined up in its _fay ae
The Graham motion was defeated by
78 to 61, a Goverpment majority of,
of 17. Messrs'. Pardee, Guthrie, Nes-
bitt (North Oxford), German, Buchan-
an, Cruise, Turiff, Duncan Ross, Thos
MacNutt and neben Truax, Liberal
members who had previously support-
ed the Government on the conscrip-
tion measure, voted with Mr. Graham,
as did also 5 French Conservatives.
On the other hand, Df. 'Michael Clark
of Red Deer and the Liberal member
from Battleford voted against it.
The vote on the extension ..resolu-
tion itself came shortly before mid- ,
night, and it was in favor of the reso-
Wier' by a Government majority of
26. vMessrs. Barrette Descarries, of
Girard and Hon. E. L.- Patenande,
ex-Seeretary of State, voted from the
Government benches against extension,
while Alegre_ Guthrie, Turiff of Assin-
tiliedirThonitisoti ef-Qu'Appelle, Cham-
pagne -Cruise of Dauphin, and Dr. M.
Clark favored the prolongation of the
1.fe of Parliament;
The 'present extension does not ex -
ire until October next, but it is very
unlikely that an. election will be de-
ferred that long, the general be-
lief being that it Will be held
in August or early in September
at the latest. The bringing on
of a war -time election is a serious
act, but the Liberal party believes—
and we think rightly—that the record
of the Borden Government, not only
during the first years of the war, but
during the past year, does not merit
a further extension. A Government
whose Waste and extravagance in the
conduct of the country's, affairs has
become- a public scandal, and whose
Conduct of military affairs, both in
Canada and abroad; has made Can-
ada a laughing stock, among England,
her other colonies and her Allies,
should have no further extension to
carry on the country's business, es-
pecialy when that businesss would in-
clude the enforcement of a vital meas-
ure like conscription.
