e• WHISPERS' IN THE AIR
The Museum building which is
occupied as a temporary hon. by
Parliament has become a veritable
w hiseering gallery. You hear whispers
in imam ear coming from. no one knows
enither. The soft spoken sentences
trail down the elevator shafts from the
tap floor where the Unionist Cadmus
is assembled. They spring apparently .
from the greund and circle every-
where around the rotunda. In the
Chamber of the House someone is
talking more or lean andibly to the
patient Mr. Speaker and the dig
Sergeant -at -Arms. A member is talk-
ing for publication, but in the corners
and the lobbies, especially on the
Government side, little groups of mem-
bers are whispering together. ,
Sister Aim is in the watch tower
scanning the eastern horizon.. Every
now and then she sees a cloucldof dust
and hopes that it betolltes the return
of the Prime Minister. Sir Thomas
White has been doing his best and
has become quite, popular with his
followers; but he is only the foreman
on the job and everybody is awaiting
the return of the Boss. The fore-
man can carry on from day to day,
but he cannot raise the rate of wages
and the members are clamoring for
an increase in the sessional idemnity.
The foreman can keep the men at Work
on odd job -s, but he cannot go out and
get any new contracts. To speak more
literally there are alt of big quest -
tions to be settled, and they cannot be
„disposed of until the god steps from
the machine cm in other words until Sir
Robert Borden returns to Ottawa. -
In the meantime, Parliament has to
meet every day and it must have
something to talk abeut for publica-
tion. Hence_ the House has gone in-
to committee- on the whole en the
clove& =ears Bill to place all the
railwees in the ceuntry, except the
e. P. R., in elarge of ..a brand
eew corporation. It is a measure that
lends itself to futile objections and the
Liberals are helping out the Govern-
ment by a discussion that is futile
enough to suit anybody. When they
talk themselves out on this, the Gov-
, ernment will take down from the shelf
the Bankruptcy Bill and everybodir
itill be iavitod to talk as often and
as long as- they please. It will be pie
for the lawyers who can split hairs
dndefinitely and Artie. Meighen will be
in his element. Moreover it will in-
vite attention from the lay members
of th,e Hou. Nearly every man is
either a creditor or a debtor and th.ere-
fore with strong views on the
subject of bankruptcy.
After the Bankruptcy Bill is fought
out the Government is liable _to take
UP the Divorce Bill, and if that does
not occur) the House sufficiently, tee
course ma be, had to an old fashiotted
debate on he pen and the sword, or
vihich iq the more destructive—fire or
terter? Or a happy compromise taaY
fihere,Taittererd.. at by having a debate on
In shot -the Government is going
to do nothing of importance until
i the return of the Prime Minister and
Yet it is common talk tha,t the Prime
Minister will not tarry over -long in
Ottawa. He may get a divorce from
his job and if he does, • it by no means
follows that the lUmen Government
will go into banlaiiptcy. On the con-
trary, many think that Sir Thomas
White is a fine figure of a man who
could easly fit into the landscape. as
Prime Minister. Still others think the
mantle of the prophet will descend
upon the shoulders and extended arms
of Netaton Wesley Rowell.
Newton Wesley modestly assumes
that all the women of Canada have
picked him, for Premier and they pro-
bably constitute sixty tier cent. of the
electorate. He also takes it for vent-
ed that the Methodist Church would
rally to his banner in solid phalanx
and 'that the Church and Temperance
elemeht generally, would all be for
him.. His friends say that Charley
Murphy's attack upon Newton Wesley
has brought to his support all the
truly -good people of the country and
that his only opponents would be the
St- Jean Baptiste `Society' and the
Ancient Order_of Hibernians. As one
of his admirers put it the other day:
"Everybody is for Rowell except the
French' and the Penians."
Yet among other iiiiispers we hear
murmurings among the Methodiets to
the effett that Newton Wesley does
not carry the Methodist vote in his
wet pocket. A prominent in:ember of
that worthy organization is quoted as
saying that the church is, being dis-
rupted by the Rowell propaganda.
"The spiritual life of the church," he
said!, "is being disturbed by this r-
ganized effort to make the churcb. a
political machine and the appendage f
a politician:"
When Sir Robert comes home he Will
bring three mere rne-mbets of the
cabinet with him and also great anx-
iety over thetscarcity Of private cars
that their return will occasion. The
Government has been able to • create
cabinet portfolios more quickly than it
has been able to build private cars for
the ministers. During the Easter re-
cess it developed that we only had one
car apiece for the °ministers now. at
the Capital. What will 'happen wharf
four more ministers are at home in
Ottawa and theta are not private
cars enough to go around? tome
low-browed individual may suggest
that it ,would be possible for two min-
isters to ride in the same par. But
the Union Government is not yet so
thoroughly cemented as to make that
possible. Politics is credited with
making strange bed -fellows, but to
put a rank free-trader like Hon.. A
T. Crerar in the same bed with a
staunch protectionist like Hon. Mr.
Ballantyne means no sleep for either
of them, becauee they would lay a-
waks all night !discussing the tariff
question.
Racing and Prohibition were up for
discussion in the, Unionist cauc\ts this
week if we are to credit the whispers
so much in circulation. The cabinet
passed these thorny .questions on to
the caucus and the caucus -was evi-
dently divided. Mr: Rowell's sugges-
tions that we should have racing with-
out betting and bars without drinking
was put forward in a spirit of coin-
prami0e but failed to evoke any great
ertthusissm. Some of the Ontario
Conserve,tives blame Mr. Rowell's
s • ce
it to saY at, the present that Sir
Thomas d3d, not suggest the name of
Mr Rowell and. Mr. Rowell for Isorne
mysterious reason did not mention the
name �f Sir Thomas White.

TRANSPORTING CANADA'S
SOLDIERS HONE ,
*A returning soldier on a transport
in a Canadian harbor is not expected
to philosophically' await facilities of
transport. , A cheering crowd in an
inland towe, waiting foi troop trains
to arrive, isn't likely to be perfectly
patient either. But a fairly large pro-
portion of the workers of Canada—
those engaged in railway service—are
putting in long strenuous days, these
times of demobilization, to get the
fighting men back to their homes with
the least delay possible.
Just how stupendous that work of

were despatched in six hours: Tw

carried 2,810 troops of all. ranks. In
less than four hours the soldiers ha

20th, the Baltic docked. She carried
3,200 returning men to handle whom
five specials were sent out in three
hours and thirtytfiveminutes. There
.was an interval of four days before
the Cretic docked at 8.05 a.m., with
1,802 soldier passengers. Again, four
specials were moved out in two hours
and forty-five minutes. Next, day
March 25th, the Royal George, with
1,388 troops aboard docked at 11.45
arm Three specials were despatched
in one hour and three-quarters. -
Then came the giant Olympic with
4,846 aboard: . High winds prevented
her immediate dopking, and the troops
or most of them', had to be brought
off by , tenders. This proved a la-
borious job for All concerned, but by
dint of hard work; special after special
was sent forward, until the great liner
was cleared. This consumed a great
deal of time, and befbre there was
much time to think about it, the Cedric
with 3,520 men, and the Minnekhada,
with 2,451 reached dock, both on
March 27th. Eight special trains
were eitilized to handle the complement
from. the Cedric, while six were nec-
essary to take care of the forwarding
of those from aboard the Mirmeltha.da.
On March 30th, at 5.30 pan. the
Regina docked with 1.981 officers and
men from practically every province
in Canada. Within. three hours and
twenty minutes, 'five special trains had
been despatched and the local units
ihad been ticketed for the regular

had been despatched. within three
hours end thirty-five minutes after
disembarkation;- the actual time'be-
tween departure of the first and that
of the last, being three-quarters of
an hour.
On April 6thethe Northland docked
at 4.40 pm. She carried 1,227 soldier
passengers. Two hours later her
complement had been forwarded, only
thirteen minutes passing- between the
departure of the trains. It is at this
point in. the records that the first
prominent mention is made of the
large amount of military baggage
to be handled. On the same date the
Caronia doeleed at 8.10 p.m. She
carried 3,364 passengers. and eight
specials were despatched in four
hours. On April 9th. the Mentic
passengers and 200 civilians, a -total
of 1,879.. The Megantic did not dock
at once and the diseMbarkation of

Eleven special trains were despatched
within seven hours and a balf, and a
civilian special was also sent forward
carrying about 200 passengers. There
was an unusually large amount of
baggage to be haxidled, .but this is
regarded as one of the best troop
movements since the first of the year.

3,320 officers and troops aboard, came
