ELECTION ECHOES.
The election Datums show that the
Unionist Government under the -leads
ership of Sir Robert Borden has been
sustained by a very large majority.
The western Provinces; which had
strongly, opposed the former Borden
Government have returned very few
opponents of the present Gohertnnent
The Eastern provinces are nearly ev-
enly divided, Oatario vetingvery
strongly for the Government and Que-
bec almost unanimously against it. An
examination of the returns shows
that where the , electors are receiving
extra high prices for their products
and therefore have a financial inter-
est in the prolongation of the war
Government candidates were returned.
There can be no doubt that the vast
majority of those who voted for the
Government were actuated by the pur-
est patriotism,' but others were as
certainly swayed by the pleas of the
Big Interests and financial considera-
tions. The:motives which actuated the
Quebec electors were of a different
kind and cannot meet with general
approval. As the majority apparently
in favor of conscription is so great,
it becomes' the duty Of all good citizens
to submit as cheerfully as they pos-
sibly can to the prOvisions of :the law
and throw no obstacles in the path
of the successful working out of the

ta-be passed Beside the very meter-
iit help that _Britain and France have
given on this front, another ally, per-
haps greater than any, has come to
the !Italians' aid, in the form of King
Winter. Confirmed reports from Swit-
zerland state that heavy snows con-
tinue to fall on the Italian frontiers
and in the Tyrol, and that German -
Austrian troops are held up every-
where. Many Red Cross and food con-
voys are stalled in the Tyrol moun-
tain passes and regiments of enemy
troops have been isolated for several
days without food supplies, and mili-
tary trains, which are depended upon
• to provision the Austrian front, are
everywhere blockaded.
The British are still making pro-
gress in Palestine. As late as Sunday
they inflicted a very severe defeat
on the Turkish arin3r. Two days pre-
vious the Turks, reinforced by German
troops, made a very determined at-
• tempt to recapture Jerusalem, and
samtP severe fighting ensued. The
13ritish, however, held their ground ,
until the force of the . attack was
spent, and then made a general ad-
vance, driving the enemy before them,
taking nearly a thousand prisoners in
two days. This latest success gives
the British four strong. positions be-
tween the. enemy and Jerusalem, in-
stead of one as they before possessed.
• An official statement from London,
England, says: "During the first ten
months of '1917 twice as many sub-
marines were destroyed as during all
of 1916. The number destroyed in
ths. third qnarter of 1917 equals the
total destroyed in 1916. The total de-
stroyed ,was between forty and fifty
per cent. of all commissioned or ready
for sei;yine. Over forty; per cent. of
armed taerchantment, when attacked,
- have escaped."
