THE POLITICAL LEANING OF
THE EXpOSITOR.
"Mr Proudfoot stated that there
"were only thirty or forty present, the
"fa0eisa there were over one hundred
I
"at tie meeting, and in . Proud -
"foot's opening remarks ht congrat-
"urated the association on he large
"Attendance, and the Huron Expositor,
"with no political leaning at the last
"election, in its report of the meet-
"irig, said it was largely attended.
The above is part of . a statement
which appeared in the London deity -
papers, a short time ago, in answer
te a Globe interview, given oat by MT.
William Proudfoot. IVI.P.P., regarding
the annual meeting of the Centre Hur-
on' Liberal Association meeting held
in Seaforth on May 28th, and made
over the signatures of Mr. M. Murdie,
President, and Mr. J. D. Hinchiey,
3rd Vice -President, of that Associa-
tion. .
We were always of the opinion that
the Political leanings of the Exposi-
tor were so well known that any com-
ment regarding them was unneces-
sary. However, if such is not the
case, we have no hesitation iii fully
and frankly,- re -stating them. The
Expositor Is.no* and alwayit has been
a 'believer ,in and supporter a the
trail Liberal principles as laid down
by thespplicy of Sir Wilfrid Laurier,
and it will continue that support to
the extent of its power as long as in
its- lunnble opinicet.that ppliey is ad-
hered to by the Liberal party,
More than that, not only did the Ex.-
poaitor support the Liberal-- policy
both in its columns and apart from
them at the last Dominion election, but
it gave that support at the sacrifice
of several hundreds of dollars to its
advertising column, and , we can
truthfully say that a likesupport was
given. but by few of the so-called
Liberal newspapers in the Province,
and by fewer supporters of Liberal
candidates at that election. To any
person) who knows newspaper condi-
tions since the beginning of the war,
any further proof cif party loyalty is
not necessarY, the opinion of the Presi-
dent and. 3rd Vice President of the
Centre Horon Reform Assocition to the
contrary, notwithstanding.

THE WAR SITUATION
The long expected offensive on the
Italian front was launched on Satur-
day morning last along a seventy mile
front, after a fierce artillery prepara-
tion, and desperate fighting still con-
tinues. It is stated that the Austri-
ans have brought into action all their
available forces in the hope of break-
ing through the Italian lines and scor-
ing such a decisive victory as- to put
Italy out of the war. Sofar. how-
ever, their aim and expectations have
been far from realized, and although
the situation is regarded as serious the
allies have every eonfidence in the
ul-qimate result. After. four days
fighting the Austrians have not at-
tained the objectives set for their
troops to obtain, on Saturday, and al-
though they have had some initial
successes, me or two points, they
have not been able to establish a firth
footing in any of them and. have been
forced to desperate efforts to retain
their gains. These efforts are costing
the enemy very heavy losses, in fact
• the Austrian losses so far have been
on. a ratio of five to one of those sus- s
-Wined by the Allies. It is yet too ti
early to prophesy who will be victori- t
ous, but from the fighting so far it h
would appear as if the Allies will be p
able to' hold their own. Up fb the ti
present the Austrians have not been r
supported by Gerinan troops, but if j
things break badly for them, Germany d
will have to Come to her aid, and this G
aid will have to come in the form of pi
troops and guns from the Western tr
- front, wh,kh Germany can ill afford to h
spare, if she is to gain anything by th
the wester offensive and the tremen- a
dote; loss of life her armies have Suf-
fered there. ac
On the Western front the German to
effensive has once more been brought w
to a stand still by the Allies, and dur- p
bag the past week most of the fighting u
has been done by the Allies, who keep •
nibbling away at the Gennan posi- w
tions, taking prisoners and inflicting w
a. steady flow of losses on the enemy er
troops. The German drive, however, pr

next niove will be made and when, are gi

the Austrians attain any measure of si
succeis on the Italian front, we maY
rest assured that the offensive o4 th
west will be continued at once and ,eri
redoubled force so as to prevent th
Allies from sending reinforcements to
Italy. On the other hand; should *

Germany, the western offensive 'eel .
most likely be delayed; while German
sends reinforcements to Austria. Bu
as the situation now stands, with th
addition of thousands of America
troops now pouring into France,
would appear that the Allies are in
much better position to spare rein,
forcements to. her friends than th
Germans,

This explains the German atrocitie
The Germans believe that by shootin

ating women, they can frighten in
submission the people whom. they ar
trying to conquor; and the reason the

have told the world plainly that the

hard as it is, we mut again come to

The better word for the sort of ac
popularly- called 'reprisal is retbrition.
This is defined by Westlake as fol
lows ;"Ittetorsion in war is the action o
a beligerant against whom a law ha
been broken, and who retorts by break
ing the same or some other law in or
der to compensate himself for th
damage which he has suffered, and t
deter his enemy front continuing o
repeating the offense,' Professor
Westlake points out that there is an
analogy in national law in the prirbci
pal that if one party to a contrac
violates it the other party is released
The reason why retortion in wile is
sometimes necessary is very Ample
Germany, for example, has broken
the laws of nations in boniltins unde-
fended English towns. How can she
be stopped? England can not etop
her by making war on her, because
England is already at war with her,
She might try to stop her by persuad-
ing a neutral to intercede or to threat-
en Germany with war if she does not
stop breaking international law. For
wo years and a half America, while
a neutral, watched .Germanylereaking

res to make Grany realize that her
olation of t e law of nations will
ring evil consequences to herself, and
at means retortion. Unless checked
y retortion Germany can continue her
trocities with impunity. .
It is generally unavoidable that in
tortion people are made`to suffer who
ad no direct part in perpetrating the
riginal . offense, Professor Westlake-
owever, points out that. the justifica-
on for this is that "for an. individual
o suffer by retortion for the offense of
is government implies that for the
urposes of war he is. held to be iden-
fied with his state." In the case of
etortion upon Germany this is doubly
ustified because it is one of the Car-
inal doctrines of Germany that every
erman subject is merged in the Em -
re. Germany can not hold this doc-
ine for her own benefit and escape
aving that doctrine applied to her for
e purposes of holding her :acdount-
ble. .
We shall not atter/list to specify what

iminal or would violate the absolute
ohibitions that Must be observed at
