House.
Ottawa, Ont, July 7.dThe Cana
dian House of Commons early yes
terday adopted the resolution offered
by Premier Borden passing to second
reading the bill for compulsory mill
tary service.
Exciting scenes marked the taking
of the vote, which stood lib for com.
scription and IS against.
The vote gave the government
about 20 more votes than it usually
polls on important questions. Ihis
was the result of a considerable
number of English-speaking Liberals
breaking away from the leadership
of Sir Wilfrid Laurier and joining
wit hPremier Borden in support CT
CONSUMPTION.
Before the bill was sanctioned SIR
Wilfrid Laurier's proposal that the
opinion of the people on conscrip'
ton should be tested by refren-
dunn was defeated by a majority OF
40 The attendance of members OF
the House was the largest that hao
been seen in Parliament for many
wears. The galleries were filled with
spectators throughout the night and
until the proceedings closed at sun
rise. A majority of the spectators
were soldiers returned from Europe
and women.
A resolution presented by the
French Nationalist from the Prov
ince of Quebec that the CONSUMPTION
bill shout dbe killed by the adoption
of six-month postponement was
defeated by the large majority OF
1855. Only nine Nationalist votes were
cast for the resolution, and both the
government and the opposition to
CONSUMPTION voted against this pro-
posal.
An amendment aimed to supply
more adequate provision for depen'
dents of men at the front was de-
feated, 115 to SIS.
Premier Borden explained that
this amendment was "dilatory' and
that he would refuse to allow it to
interfere with the second reading.

KENT ISLAND PROTEST

Ninety Per Gent of Residents Beg

when committee representing ~
per cent, Of the residents of Kent Is

rot to destroy their homes and to
send them out into the world as
wanderers. The War Department has
for several months been quietly tax
ing steps to secure Kent Island Tor
a proving ground. But it was only a
few days ago that the great majority
of the prosperous farmers and Dusl-
ness men of the Island realized that
options ha dbeen obtained on a num-
Der of farms on the island and that
the War Departments agents were
actively circulating among the peo-
ple Of the island for more land.
IN to the present time options on
shout 5000 acres have already been
secured. No small part in securing
these options was playsd by the veil
ed threat of the governments power
If eminent domain, and its right to
take over in time of war any pro-
perty, it needed by condemnation, If
necessary.
