House Unanimous in Favor of Giving Fighting Men an Opportunity to Exercise Their Franchise, But Op- position Fears the Ballots Might Not Be Properly Counted -Lord Kitchener May Object to Politics on the Battlefield. lt'elpyrigbted. i Ottawa, April 18. -Both sides of politics agree that the men wbo are good enough to do the lighting are good enough to do the voting. but the Voter -for -Soldiers hill received luke- warm suptent in the House of Cum - mons just the Name. Neither Liberal. nor Conservatives were prepared to pledge their common -settee that the treasure was practicable. The sexy goes that Hon. Charles Doherty did not exactly treat the hill as a fawn' its child when it was being "drafted" in committee, and certainly when he introduced it in the House he indulged in no wild transport. of en- thusiasm. He avoided purple rheto- ric. smothered the thing with long sentences, and one way and another took most of the nip out of it. The beet be could do was to •'esrne.sy and sdncsreli commend the principle of the bill,' wbicb was what you alight 0.11 faint praise from an oelniel sponsor. You see the Moister of Jus- tice has a reputation for level-headed- n ess and he doesn't want to lose 11 by etylog up leaky tubs. No doubt. too, Mr. Doherty consid- ered that they had gone far enough In treating it as a Government measure, Instead of putting it in the bands of a private member on the Government side and treating it as • public bill e ntitled to the usual amount of sup - whish the Government gives it. riends. Perhaps this was the reason the bill was held back until the closing days of the wafo.. The Government may have been pondering -under pees - ,)tura from the outside -whether they would take the bill under their wing or not.

As It was, the Calgary man came in somewhere near the finish when the debate had crawled into the cellar and the beet be could do was to provoke a burst of wrath from Frank Oliver, who asked among other things : "Why shoukl we trust this Government With the soldiers rotes' when we can't trust them with the soldiers' boot. r Well, there may be something in that. At all events it will give the reader pause. This was the only flash of heat in the discussion, both aides seeming quietly confident that the bill would not get too far. That is to say, it could be stopped this side of the ocean, bythe Seoste, or the other side, say by d Kitcheoer. Besides its good feeling toward the soldier. the Government is credited with three other motives in bringing in the bill. One is that it might whip Into line • certain influential .Montreal newspaper which makes • habit of foaming aC the mouth on this subject: another's that every Ilttle helps in the campaign of super -loyalty which the Oon.ervtives are shout to pull oR; and the third is that it may oonstitute another grievance against the Liberal majority in the Senate. In fact, some mreons go so far as to say that the ll would never have been thought of if there had been no Liberal majority in the Senate. The bill, inspite of re. posted tinkering. by the Mnister of Justice, is as full of imperfections as a ketchup -strainer is of holes, and then is • grave .u.picion that it was built that way to lure the Senate on. The Senate is an expert amender of obnoxious clauses and It just netur• ally can't keep its hands off • hill like that. Al least, -that is the theory. Whether the Senate rises to the batt or not it's • safe statement that. almost anybody could make that bill a great deal better than it stands now. He would be doing a good work at that, and if any Government supporter yelled traitor at him be could get hack by retorting "Boots" or "Binoculars" or "Horses," or something equally relevant. lodeed, then are plenty of good •rowers to those wbo way he using the old flee at the next general election to rover • multitude of stns.

To the fifty - tour thousand Voters encamped in earl oue parts of Canada the Opposition does not streenously object, because three voters will be fully apprised of the issues and will be provided with the customary apparatus of Canadian el.ctlous in the shape of polling booths, scrutineers, deputy returning officers and eseb, but the thirty -Ove thousand overseas vetoes are another story.

But the moral objections on which this article bas dwelt are the mart serious.

We paid • hasty visit to the scene of the tattle of the Marne. We saw the 'ground nearest to Paris' no wbicb the Germane were allowed to step.
