 Failure of the province of Queoec to re- cruit more than 6o00 men. despite it's male population of 1000 600, has sharpened the desire for conscription in other provinces. At a recent meeting here, Chief Justice Mathers, president of the Recruiting league, presented some striking figures and said that the 900 men required for active service from Canada represented 13 per cent of the total male population of Canada, which is 3S21, ,e7o. according to the last census.
 QUEBEC IS BACKWARD
 Quebec has a male population Of 1,0I1,- PAT at the last census, Chief Justice Mathers said. Thirteen per cent equals 13l, 462 As only 59S7 have enlisted, the province should enlist an additional 125,- 525.
 In Military District No 10, in which Winnipeg is located, the census shows 5S4079 males, 13 per cent of which is I5,- 9So Since this district has recruited s. 196 men, it needs but F, "A to contribute it's proportionate share.
 Ontario province has recruited more than 6S,Oo0 men.
 A special committee is considering six different methods whereby an enforced military service might be obtained. They are:
 Dominion-w conscription.
 Conscription in so far as Canada is con cerned, exclusive of Quebec.
 Local option; conscription by provinces.

Royal Courtships
I London Tit-Bits.

From LOnQOn llI-ollS.
 Princess Radziwill in her fascinat- ing book, 'The Marriage Market of Europe" gives some interesting facts regarding royal matchmaking. She re- lates how the German crown prince, in choosing the Duchess Cccile of Meek lenburg-S Schwerin, had to bear down the -Kaiser's opposition before he could please himself There seems to have bee nlittle love lost between the Kali
 The crown princess instilled at once into the mind of the crown prince that the Kaiser was getting old and had lost part of his former audacity. She influenced her husband to take mat ters in hand himself. She is more rab- idly German than her husband, the Princess Radziwill declares, and is. therefore, the idol of the working classes.
 The heroic King and Queen of Bel giun first met at the wedding of Prince Rupprecht- and theirs was love story full of sweetness. King Albert's choice was unexpected. but his country at once acclaimed it. and he has had ample reason to bless the day ever since.
 Cupid again knew his business bet ter than the diplomatists when King Alfonso came to England in search of wife. The princess whom the match makers had expected to be Queen of Spain did not like the prospect and the King for his part had only eyes for Princess Ena.
 One of the most charming stories in the book relates to the meeting of the Princess Beatrice with Prince Henry of Battenberg during visit

Antiauated Flying Machines

F. J. Splitstone, in Leslies
 Let this fact sink into your mind: The United States navy has not, today, one of any description fit for serv- ice in case of war.
 Our aviators would attempt to render service with the old-fashioned, under powere.!, poorly equipped machines they have, but in doing so they would be com- hitting suicide in the name of patriot ism. What would happen to the fleet that they would be supposed to guard may be left to ina agination.
 The tlalne for such condition of af- fairs does not rest on the navy, not even on th1 civilina head of the department. It reses squarely with Congress, which, through it's contol of public funds, has the navy-and the army as well-firmly in it's grasp, and which has never been able to get through its parochial mind the idea of a complete and fully equipped service.
 The naval aeronautic station has an ideal location on Pensac cola bay, beau tiful sheet of water, where summer reigns eternal and where every natural requirement. for a flying school is found; but it has this place only because the department owned an abandoned naval station there that it did not know what to do with. Machine shops, repair sheds, offices. quarters, barracks, the station has, because they were ready to hand, but hangars and other special equipment for aviation are conspicuousy absent. The machines provided are Wright Cur tiss and Burgess biplanes, good, steady going old tubs of about 50 miles maxi mum speed, and two-man capacity. They carry gasoline supply for about 15O miles flight One of the requirements for a licensed air pilot is that he shall make a scouting flight of 25O miles to sea and return. How he is to do it with machine the radius of which is 150 miles. is respectfully referred to Con- gresS.

 From all over China, letters and tele- grams are being received which show how thoroughly the revolutionists have in spired the Chinese masses with the idea that Yuan Shi-kai. violated his Confuciar oath when he lent his support to the monarchial movement. He had sworn to support the republic and efforts on the part of the monarchists to explain and excuse the changed attitude of the Pres- ident do not seem to have any effect.

 Chinese of all classes are in dread of soldiers whether they be revolutionaries or regular troops. Picking has been footed so often that Chinese families which are not able to get away from the city are asking foreign friends living in the lega- tion quarters to take care of their jewels and other valuables Similar movements of prominent Chinese from Canton to the English settlement of Hongkong have been in progress for several weeks. The government has issued orders forbidding Chinese officials to leave their posts, and regulations have also been enacted which prevent travellers from carrying more than one piece of baggage. However, these precautions have not stopped the influx of influential Chinese into foreign settle ments

Winnipeg, Canada, May 20.-(Special0 Recruiting in this and many other provinces of Canada is at low ebb, ac- cordng to authorities here and the feef- ing is growing that only conscription will bring forth the number of men desired by government officials.
 During the month of March recruiting figures for this district were the largest recorded in like period since the open ing of the war, while the figures for April were the lowest
 Various plans have been resorted to in an effort to stimulate recruiting, but with little effect. Certain units are offering recruiting privates a days holiday for every recruit they bring ill and others have put up cash prizes of from s1 to S2 for every man recruited. APPEAL TO WOMEN

Failure of Negotiations With RevolutiOnists Caus- ing Much Uneasiness in
 Chinese Capital

Peking April S.-(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)-Rumors of troubles in the palace and the possible desertion of Yuan Shi-kai's personal troops have created great uneasiness in Picking, es- pecially among the Chinese. For several days all trains leaving Picking have been crowded to capacity. and the wives and children of many prominent families have gone to foreign settlements in Tien-tsin and Shanghai. carrying with them their portable valuables.
 Failure of the government negotiators to reach any agreement with the reolu- tionists for settlement of their differ ences. has been widely heralded and given rise to many rumors circulated by opponets of Yuan Shi-kai. The revolu- tionists still insist on the Presidents 8 abdication and the execution of men who were responsible for the monarchial movement.
 YUAN MAY RESIGN
 Shanghai daily has printed an al- legged letter from Lian Shih-yi. the Pres ident's confidential adviser, to a friend in Shanghai in which 1t was stated that the President felt so aged and worn that he intended to resign. Liang Shih-yi has repeatedly denied the authenticity of this letter. but it was widely circulated and has had a great deal of effect on the present situation.
