Mr. Monk, were extremely conservative.
objecting to any appropriation of Cana
dian money for naval purposes The lib
eral majority, loyal to Sir Wilfrid Lau-
rier, adopted a moderate position and es-
tablshed a separate Canadian navy of
defense.
The German war scare in 1909 caused a
tremendous agitation throughout the
British empire in favor Of immediate and
effective measures to assure the perma-
hence of the British supremacy on the
seas. In response to the resolutions or
an imperial conference held in London.
the self-governing British colonies agreed
to give substantial aid to the British
navy, which is supported entirely by
taxation upon the people OF Great Britain.
Canada consented to the withdrawal OF
the British navy from Canadian waters
and established a separate Canadian navy
for purposes Of coast defense.
The bill for the establishment OF the
navy was presented in parliament In
January. 1910. by

policy. He stated that the navy service
bill followed in general lines the existing
militia act. except that in the case of the
militia the whole male population of
Canada from the age Of seventeen to the
age Of sixty Is liable to military service,
while under the naval act. every man
who will be enrolled for naval service in
Canada, will be enrolled by voluntary en-
gagement; there is no compulsion of any
kind, no CONSUMPTION, no enrolment and
no balloting."
He also said: While the naval force

whether 1t referred to war In any part OF

Mr. BORDEN. who advocated the i'm

creation of a separate Canadian navy

MONTRE AI, Canada.
The naval question is not the issue in
the present campaign in Canada in the
sense that the result of the election will
decide the naval policy of the Dominion
but. nevertheless, it is the issue which
possibly, even probably, will determine
the event of the election-and that utterly
without regard to the merits or dement's
Of american reciprocity.
For the space of fifteen years, in cleo
ton after election, the liberal party.
under the leadership of Sir Wilfrid Lau-
rier has triumphed by virtue Of the votes
of the French Canadians of the province
of Quebec. In this campaign the effort
! is being made, by an insidious appeal to
race prejudice, to win away from Sir
Wifrid the support of his French-speak-
ing compatriots.
The government has not offended the
people of Quebec by negotiating the rec
iprocity agreement with the United
States, for 1t is quite generally conceded
that upon the clear cut issue Quebec
would vote largely in favor OF reciprocity.
The anti-Laurier forces in Quebec, in
dealing with the French-speakins people,
| say very little about reciprocity and its
| possible evil effects on Canadian pros
| perity. They say nothing at all of what
they say in the other eight provinces OF
| Canada about the disloyalty to King
George on the part of the advocates OF
| reciprocity.
! For in Quebec the movement against
| Laurier is based not upon the ground
| that he is disloyal to England, but that
| he has been SO loyal to the empire that
| he has preiudiced the interests and in
! dependence of his French-speaking com
! patriots.
| In Quebec, among the French-Cana-
| dians, the opposition to Laurier is based
| naval policy as proposed and adopted In
the last parliament. A part of this OPP
position Is frankly conservative in poll
| tics, and acknowledges the leadership OF
Mr.. +. d. Monk. This portion is COM
paratively small. and, it Is safe to say,
| causes Sir Wilfrid but little uneasiness.
| Another portion of the opposition is the
| new nationalist party, led by Mr.. Henri
| Bourassa, and of

ASKS FOR $4,000
Wants a New Building for
Laundry and Shop.

In the annual report Of the Industrial
Home School for Boys and Girls, which
has just been submitted to the secretary
OF the Board OF Charities, recommended
ton is made for either the relocation of
the institution or an appropriation OF
$50, coo for the erection of ? new building
II replace the dilapidated structure now
being used as a shop. laundry, and
nursery.
The institution asks for $3.50 to con-
duct the nome school during the next
fiscal year. The appropriation for the
present year Is S26.455. Recommendation
is made for a general increase in the
salaries of employees at the institution.
The buildings have been crowded dur
ing the last year, and additional money
is needed to properly conduct the work.
There are at present 40 children at the
institution. At the end OF the fiscal year
1910 there were 135 children at the school.
Seventy were received during the year
from the Board of Children's Guardians,
and 22S from other sources. Eighty eight
were discharged.
The Industrial Home School for Col
ored Children. in its report, recommends
the institution be enlarged. and that pro-
vision be made for the teaching of one
or two OF the industrial trades.

NO DANGER OF FRICTION.
School OfficiaIs Have Faith fI
SuPt. w. VI. Davidson.

Denial that there is danger of friction
between members Of the board Of edu-
cation and Supt. w. NJ. Davidson was
made last night. following the publica-
ton in Washington paper that there
would be a feud If DR.. Davidson persist
ed in his advocacy of r. C. Bruce as as
sistant superintendent of schools.
DR.. Davidson stated that his reference
to DR.. Chancellor. which was used as
text in the article indicating the danger
of hostility was simply a word of praise
such as he had accorded all other heads
of the schools here.
In my remarks said he, II spoke of
DIR. Chancellor as an eminent writer and
speaker, who had won the admiration of
teachers throughout the country
There was no friction between himself
and the board OF education, DR.. Davidson
said.
This statement was borne out by mem
bers of the board, who last night spoke
highly of the new superintendent and
expressed their entire confidence in him.
They said the question whether Bruce
will remain as assistant superintendent
will be settled amicably.

To teach the housewife where her gro

whether giant monopolles control the law

Work Now Divided.
In urging that this work be taken up,
1t was pointed out yesterday that the

by the Bureau OF Labor is responsible
for a division Of the work and makes the

Public Wants Figures.
There has been a great popular de-

anxious to get data whereby II can de-

some FIVE or six weeks. Through COM

duty which had already been attended
to by those who had a prior action
taken. Therefore, we looked after Mrs
Dennis wants, through the local branch
of the Red Cross, and upon her depar-
