DOMINION ELECTIONS,
DECEMBER 17th.
Monclay, December 17th, haw been
selected as the date for the general
eleetion. An Order -in -Council, setting
that date for polling in Ganada„,
In accordance with the provisions of
the new ;election law November -19th
as the day for the official nomination
of candidates, was passed by the Gab -
ret Wednesday afternoon, and apploy-
ed by the Governor-General. The
writs instructing returning officers to
'told elections in the 234 constituent
cies of the Dominion ovill issue Thurs-
day. Then the names of returning
officers will be made public. With the
-.issue of the writs the election cam-
paign will begin
Premier Borden ha.vie- associated
with him in the Government a num-
ber of 0--esition Liberals, announces
his desire ihat traditional Liberal and
Conservative party tines be disregard-
ed, and the election be run on the is-
sue of compulsory military service as
opposed to referendum on conscrip-
tion:
Sir Wilfrid Laurier will lead the
Liberal Oemosition in the canmeign,
and there is every indication that the
contest will be keen in evert province
of Canada and in nearly every riding.
The issue of the writs of election
wilt be followed by the appointment of
an enumerator and a deputy returning
officer in each polling . sub -division.
These appointments will be made by
the returning officers of the various
constituencies. The enumerators will
be charged with the duty of preparing
the voters' lists, which will. not be
printed.
In Ontario they will take, as the
basis • for their work t the last lists
prepared under the provincial law;
which was superseded by the Act Of
this last session of the Legislature.
From thosia•lists the enumerators will
delete the names of persons disquali-
fied from voting by the new Domin-
ion Election Act, namely persons of
enemy alien birth, naturalized since
March 31st. 1902, and "conscientious
objectors." They will add to the lists
female relatives of soldiers who have
gone overseas . and other persons
qualified to vote. The enumerators
may secure- the information they re-
quire by visiting the homes or work-
ing places of the electors or otherwise
at their discretion. They ere to com-
plete their task .15 days *before poll-
ing day Post up two copies of • the
list at most -offices or some other con-
spicuou places, mail a copy to each
candidate and retain one for revision.
The machinery for revision dif-
fers in rural polling division e and in
urban municipalities of 9,000 popula-
tion arid upwards. In rural districts
the °enumerators_ will sit two hours
daily for ten days before the polling
day, to revise the lists. which they
will deliver ta the deputy -returning -
officers. On election day itself the
enumerators will sit to hear applica-
tions of persons not already on the
list to be put on.
In cities and towns of 9,000 popula-
tion and upwards enumerators are re-
quired to complete their work 15 days
before polling day. They will have
nothing to do with the revision of
Instead the work of revision will be
done by the "voters' registration
hoards," established by the Ontarit
Franchise .Act of 1917. and constitut-
ed "boards of appeal" for Domini':
Purposes.
WAR SITUATION.
The Italian front has held the cen-
tre of the stage in the war theatre
during the past week, and there the
situation front the Allies' standpoint,
to say the least, is anything but fav-
orable. The great Italian successes of
the past summer have all been swept
away. The Austrian army, tremend-
ously reinforced by German, troops
from the Russian front, and great
creentitiea of, artillery, launched an at-
tack on the Italian positions on Sun-
day Iast that was irresistible, land) for
a time carried everything •before it.
Although the Italians for some time
' have been expecting a counter attack
the magnitude of the attack seems to
have carried them off their feet, and
in certain sections completely demor-
alized their troops, many of whom re-
treated in disorder without striking
a blow. The number of nrisoners claim-
ed by the Germans and Austrians is
over 100,060 and the total of guns cap-
tured well un in the hundreds. While
these totals may not be correct, there
no doubt hut that the enemy has
etruck a tremendous, although fortun-
ately not a vital blow to the Allies.
It is ;mate'i that large bodies of French
and British troops and guns are al-
ready on their way to Italy to give
immedlate assistance to their hard
pressid ally. This is the only thing
apparently, that utili prevent the e :
emy from descend* to the pia* of
ftetiY and beginning 'A course e• t.
slitighter similar to that carried out
• in Serbia, Poland and Roumania. Thu
new Gentian success will have3lie'ef=,
fact of prolonging the war,4here is no
question about that. On the other hind
we should not lose •sight of the fadt.
that the war will not be won in Italy.
A victory in Italy' will not increase
the food eupPly to the - German people;
it will not for a moment lift the block-
ade against that country, nor will it
ease the discontent of hungry men.
Moreover, it will not hold up for a
moment:the Allied offensive in Flan-
uers, nor remove the danger from the
enemy bases on the Belgian coast The
Western front is still the main front,
and it is there the war will be won
and it is there that the Allies have
forced the Germans to prepare for a
withdrawal on a large-scale in the im-
mediate future. The losses on the Ital-
ian. front are a hard blow. to the Ale
liee;but there is certainly no cause for
discouragement. France is still full of
fight; Britain has not yet reached the
zenith of her strength, and American
soldiers are just now going into the
trenches.
On the Western frent both British
and French troops are still pounding
the enemy. The Canadian troops .are
also again in the limelight, having
made a very successful advance and
metining all their objectives on Tues-
day morning against the German posi-
tions along the Ypres-Roulers rail-
way. In Spite of marshy ground on
the whole front of the attack, heavy
rain, gales and cold, and in the face
of the fiercest opposition, the Cana-
dians captured a number of farms and
strong points, and slowly but. surely
are forcing their way to the posses-
sion of the great ridge system so ab-
solutely necessary to Germany if she is
to hold her preesnt lines and bases
in Flanders. It is stated in official re-
ports that in the whole history of the
war on any front men have never
fought under worse conditions than
those that have prevailed 'since, Octo-
ber 12th, when the Canadians took the
first step which led- to the capture of
Bellevere Heights. A movement is
now being made to bring back to Can-
ada on furlough all the Canadian
troops who are still in France who
went onerseas with the First Divi-
sion. It Is felt at -headquarters that
they have done their- bit and that a
rest is long past due, and with this
view the people of Canada are heartily
in accord.
Another enelny air raid was at-
tempted against England on Monday
night, but none of the raiders were
able to pass the outer defences, and
the English airmen who went up to
meet the enemy landed safely. There
was no .damage caused and no casual-
ties resulted from the raid.
FROM THE DOMINION CAPITAL.
Cynics who regard politics as a
game pure and Simple are agreed that
it is a game which the Borden Gov-
erment plays anythiug but purely and
'simply. So far from being content-
ed with fair play 'the Bordee
ment goes into the general _then
with the cards stacked. « They have
rung in a cold deck in the shape of a,
provision by which they can apply
fifteen thousand loose votes to the
weak spots all over Canada --which
is bad enough. But what is worse
they hold cards out in the ehape of a
disfratchisement clause which de-
prives fifty thousand law-abiding cit-
izens of their votes.
That their friends do not think they
can win even with the stacked cards
is amply proved by the wild scurry for
safe Government jobs in which cabi-
net ministers and Coteervative M.
P.'s, who consider their seats as good
as lost, are taking part, That the
Borden Government does not. believe
that union government will save them
is proved by the pains' they take to
provide certain of their faithful but
timid supporters with life jobs before
union government begins to get its
work in. If the Borden Government
were really sincere !about union .gov-
ernment, it would not be dispensing
Tory patronage while the union gov-
ernment negotiations were going on.
It looks as if union government
were a scheme to coax certain weak-
kneed. Vicar -of -Bray -Liberals to help
the Borden. Government out of a hole,
rather than a fifty-fifty plan by which
Liberals would hereafter get half the
offices, In other words Union govern-
ment is the Borden Government's plan
to divide the blame with the Liberals,
but keep all the jobs for the Tories.
It reminds one of the Indian and the
white man who had shot six crows and
six ducks. When it -came to sharing
the bag the white man said to the
Indian "You take the crows and 191
take the ducks. Or ru take the
ducks and you take the crows." A
similar element of generosity appears
to characterize the union government
negoiations as conducted by the Bor-
den Government.
So far the union_ government negoti-
ations have drawn no big cards. Mr.
C.C.Ballantyne is spoken of as a face
card, but if he is he is a card with
two faces front and back. The last
time his face was anyway noticeable
-it was turned ,agaiest reciprocity. Mr.
Hugh Guthrie—since cards are the
metaphor --may be, regarded as the
joker. He will be whatever the hand
demands. Premier Borden is hav-
ing a hard time making a trump hand
out of the discards and the two spots.
The general opinion is that he can't
do it—even with a cold deck and a
campaign fund snitched frem the pros-
pective profits of the C. N. R. deal.
When the Borden Government comes
to cash in its chips at a general elec-
tion it will find that a campaign, fund
is about as much use as a doughnut to
resist a landslide of public opinion.
Rumor has it that union government
would look upon john M. Godfrey and
Arthur Hawkes as acceptable candi-
dates iri any constituency that might
care to have them. So far no con-
stituency has broken its neck reach-
ing for them, nor has any Conserva-
tive caadidate made an offer to step
aside in their favor. When Arth.ur
Hawkes looms up as a possibility in
the union government. we begin to see
that the deuces are running wild.
One observes that a group c To-
ronto- looters—some of them hang-
over § from, the noble eighteen vsho
knifed the Liberal party in the beck

Sir *Joseph, by the way, treats the

erninent that the Borden Government
may form with -fine disdain. The ap-.

is quite right. . He can't do anything
about it because Sir Joseph -oWns the
• Borden Government, and how can a
Food Controller be more indepetdent
than the Government that appoint d
him? The ,answer is that he ca 't
for the simple `reason that the art
cannot be greater than the whole.
Food Controller Hanna doeset have
to go te &fetid to feel that that is his
unfortunate position.
Sir Joseph snaps his fingers at the
Borden Government_ in other ways.
For instance he refuses to resign his
job as dhairman of the Imperial Mun-
Wens Board,to which he was appoint-
ed ' on the recommendation of his
friend and protegee, Sir Thomas White
backed by the 0. K. of the Borden
Government. On the Borden Govern-
ment's recommendation, Sir Joseph
could be removed just asexpeditiously
as he was appointed, but so far the
Borden Government has failed to make
the recommendation. The reason it
has failed is because Sir Joseph won't
let it till he's good and ready. He may
resign, but it will be in his own gob('
time and in his -own way. He may
resigm, befoee ea general election —

ing won't do the people of Canada
Much good. It won't give Canada
back the money he has leeched during
the : last three years. The man is
bloated with it. It shows red through
his face. • The five hundred thousand
women who are giver the vote—most
of them poor women—may well ask
why Sir Joseph, the Borden Govern-
ment's friend, looks so ruddy. He ap-
pears to he full of blood.. He is—
your blood, .my blood, our blood,, the
blood of the soldiers at the front,
whose hard-earned &Mat he has made
worth about forty cents- by his in-
famous manipulation of prices. The
women folk of five hundred thousand
soldiers, who have banded every dol-
lar of separation alland pa-
triotic fund over to Sir .Joseph and
his tribe •for the necessaries of life,
are free to wonder if the vote the Bor-
den Gevernment gives them is any
compensation for the way the Borden
Government's friends, including • Sir
Joseph, have fleeced them. They ask-
ed for bread and Premier Borden gave
them a scorpion—that is to say they
asked for cheaper food arid he gave
them votes. After all a vote is a
scorpion—the women can sting with
it. They certardv will hot vote for
Borden and fifty-six cent bacon.

seas by the Red Cross Circle this week.

—On Saturday morning about five
o'clock :the barn owned by Dr. W.
Tamblyn,in Wingham, and rented by
Mr. Meriden for the purpose of mak-
ing apple butter, was totally destroyed
by fire. The loss to building and all
the 'machinery is large, and the in-
surance on all will not cover it. Great
credit was given to the fire depart-
ment in saving other buildings as a
high wind was blowing at the time.
• e -L. W. Ratan, has sold his com-
fortable home and lot on Queen St.,
Brussels, to Mr. Alex. Forsyth, of
that town, and the former will return
to Blnevale', front which point he went
to Brussels'. 'Mr. Button has 'dent;
oped into quite a bee man and he
thinks his colonies will find better
scope. ateBluevale than Brussels. Mr.

selves in church and society affairs
since going to the town and they will
be much missed. Mr.• Ruttan was a
proficient member of the Methodist
Sunday School Orchestra and will be
parted with reluctantly.

smorilderibg all night, broke out at
seven o'clock on Sunday morning in
the ibig dry znods store of W. C.
Broin, or Clin;:on. It. ate its way
through the flooring and up into the
partitions and was making great pro-
gress when the firemen arrived. Chief
Bartcliff had his head badly cut by
falling glass. Just how the fire start-
ed is not known,but it 'is- believed to
have originated in the woodpile in the
basement. The loss from the flames
will not be nearly as heavy as that
from -smoke and water. The smoke
was first noticed by Mr. Hooper, who
lives neer the Store, and he promptly
sent in are alarm. The loss is fully
covered by insurance. The building
is owned by C. Middleton.
