CANADA'S ELECTION.

For some time Canada has been struggling with the problem of con- scription. There has been a strong leaning there towards the volunteer system the same as there was in Eng land and as there is in Australia, Canada has thus far raised its army and the necessary number of troops from time to time for sustaining it by the volunteer plan. Bat the time was reached when there were insuf5f- cient recruits to meet requirements. t was apparent then that the system was not what it should be and the demand for change was made. It vas only what England had been forced to recognize and today in Aus tralia opin1on on the matter is about equally divided although tt-ete is g slight majority which opposes con- scription.
 The charges have been made in Canada that there were certain prov Inces which have provided most Of the volunteers, that the success of the system was made impossible by the attitude Of other provinces where few recruits. ia proportion to those furnished by the rest, were obtained and in order to have each part of the country do it's share conscfiption was urged by the government ard the cleo tion on Monday shows that the peo- ple of Canada are in favor of it. It was a hard fight into which many questions have entered, but now, i'm asTnuch as that policy has been en- doraed by the majority of the people, it remains for Canada an.I especially t!leEe sections which have been doing their utmost to defeat it, to stand shoulder to shoulder with the rest of their countrymen in supporting con scription and in doing their part to win tine war. It is the system which atands the best test in rAisins and Tnaint2 ming an army.

The extension of this princi- pie to the land frontiers of a hostile country is natural and where possible always accomplished To deny to naval forces what is not and cannot be denied to military forces is by no means easy if justice to all men is to be done Indeed so difficult is it that it amounts to inpoSsibilify. and free dom of the seas during time of war in the sense just defined becomes an Ctopian vision incapable of realiza- a- ton.
