THE WAR nITUATION
,
The Britien and French end also
the Canadian ` troops are steadily
maintaining their pressure on the en-
emy on the western front, pressing
him baek foot by loot and holding
their gains in the -face of tremendu-
bus -counter-attacks. The fighting
during the early part of the week was
in many ease, like that of Jain -week,
desperate, and the casualties have
been very heavet. Ttre British casu-
alties ler the week_ ending last Mon-
day were 14,331 *eluding 218 officers
and 4421 hien ldiled•and'790 often,
and 19,902 men wotmdedtor minting.
•
Canadians too, have only to look at
. the deity 'papers during the lest few
days to learn thenfeathd toll that our
men are paying., The casualty list,
lie matter how -large or how small is
301 a casiralteit list. In thesedays
the sacritice is being brought -home
to -um more, .perhaps, but always the
blow falls on soine one. All we have
to put against the 'less of life is
the gains ti‘Se leases have made pos-
sible and in tbie last offensive t -hey
have been very great. Continued
gains, no matter how small ;are bound
to bring' victory. It is the continual
pounding that tells, and the enemy is
and hag been receivine -a terrible
pounding during thelpast few weeks".
, During, the past few days - heavy
rain has fallen oa the western front
and Weather conditions have praeti-
cally stepped any fihfantry advance.
- The rest, hoWever, is 'being well ern-
- played he consolidating the gains and
in. wearing for the next blow.
Probably the greatest gains during
the week have been'. made by the Ital-
fattfi, They fiave'eaikured a strong
pesition which dominates the coun-
Ly for miles and .have brought their
troops up parallel with Trieste, the
great Austrian seaport, which is
their ultimate objeetive. During the
past few days they have also taken
ever 25,000 prisoners, which shows
more clearly perhaps than the cap-
ture of territory the weakening raorale
of the enemy. The latest despatches
state that Trieste is being evacu-
ated by the civil population of the city
by order of the Austrian military
authorities.
On the eastern front fighting still
continued, but little real news comes
from that quarter. A' report, early,
in the week that the coast city of Riga
had been captured by the Germans
has been proven untrue. which is
ably as as good netts as will corae from
the eastern front for some time to
come, as the capture of Riga would
leave the way ta Petrograd almost
wideopen and the capture or even. a
near approach to a capture of the
Russian capital would prove almost a
disaster to the cause of the Allies. not
because of the loss of the city so Much
but because of the great moral effect
it would have itt heartening the droop-
ing spirits of tlie German army and
people, thus postewnitig, their collapse
which must inevitably come.
President Wilsott of the United
States has sent his answer to the
Pope regarding the recent peace pro-
posals put forward by His Holiness.
In his reply Mr. Wilson eraphaticalln
declares there can he no peace while
the Kaiser rules in Germany. There
appears to be no doubt that the Un-
ited States was seleeted to raake an
swee before the world in advance of
the other Allies. Whether the skilled
nations will send extensive replies is
not known, but it is regarded as prob-
able that they will in large measure
adopt the President's reasoning for
their own and simply send notes endor-
sing his stand. The feature of the
President's reply which stands out
over all is `the cold determination not
even to jpermit the subject of pence
negotiations to be broached so lone
as the evil and dominating forces of
militarism control Germany and her
Allies, and as one correspondent has,
said: "It is not even necessary to
read between the lines of the Pres-
ident's response to see clearly appar-
ent the inflexible purpose."

• What the Conservatives say is that
they may lose but they are not going
to hand the election to the Grits on
a silver platter.. In other words they
are going to make them work for it.

was asked when the Military Service

reply he asked what the deuce was

The Borden Government does not

shells are flying the returning officer
has a habit of returning very quickly
to the rear and taking the Wien box
with him. Thia.' wasproved in the
British Cohnnbia election when vain

But Bob Rogers hopes to change all
that by stirring' up Quebec and tmek-
ing her holler: _
It was in. line with this 'preelotas
scheme that Premier Borden read a.
document ni the House �f Commons
the other day. in which he _denied col-
lusion with the Nationalists in outting
up' thirty party candidates in Que-
bec against the regular Liberal and
Conservative candidates. Sir Robert
argued that it could not be said that
his Governmen,t was in collusion'with
the Nationalists ie 194 simply be-
cause it was I with them
collusion in the year 1911. The
document, which is said to have been(
written for Premier Borden by Sir
Clifford Sift,on wno- is now the chief
cook for Sir Robert and head bottle
washer for union ,goverament goes
on to say that the Nationalists atti-
tude ‘nrethis war" is unpatriotic . The
word- in this war"—I am •talking of
the original document—are in Perna,-
mier Borden,. s own handwriting. Sir
Robert thus limits the Nationalist
lack of patriotism to "this war" When
they were helping him in 1911, ,they
were of course hightir- patriotic J Sir
Robert does not exactly read the Na-
tionalists out of the Conservative par-

cause the solid Quebec isn't for, him

At this writing ,it ie. impossible to
say just what form the Franchise Act
will take but the chances are tat it

expected. It will probably give the
