HEED WOMEN NO LONGER.
Canada Withdraws Enlistment Veto
from Wives and Mothers.

OTTAWA, Ontario, August 10.-Wife
and mother have had their day in Can
ada, so far as forbidding their men folk
to 90 to war is concerned, and that day
is past, according to official announce
ment made yesterday by the militia de-
partment. 1t will no longer be possible,
as it used to be, for a wife to keep her
husband or her sons under IS from en-
listing by withholding her consent.
In announcing the withdrawal Of the
veto privilege given to women early IN
the struggle, the department also served
notice on all Canadians that they could
no longer dodge military service by pay
ing $15 apiece. Heretofore it has been
possible for enlisted men to buy dis
charges by paying this sum. The prac-
tice is to be discontinued.
Gen. Sam Hughes, head of the de-
partment, is now in England. 1t was
Gen Hughes who gave the women the
right to veto the enlistment of their
husbands and minor sons.
