CANADA SURE DRAFT
MEASURES ADOPTION

Ottawa, July 6.--At daybreak to-
day, the house Of commons passed
the second reading Of the conscrip-
ton bill by a majority OF 6S. Pre-
mier Borden assured the members
before the vote. that II the bill be-
came law It would be enforced.
The bill has now passed to third
reading. The opponents OF the meas
ure may attempt to delay It's passage
and may force the administration
leaders to adopt a clotre measure.
Predictions that an attempt to ap-
ply conscription and take men for
military service by compulsion will
result in resistance to the point OF
bloodshed In Quebec, have thrown a
decidedly serious aspect upon the sit
uation. English-speaking Ontario
representatives and many from west
ern Canada belonging to both parties
insist that there must be conscrip-
tion law to reinforce the Canadian
divisions at the front, and that since
volunteer enlistment has Jagged. con-
,scription must be applied, even II
disturbances follow.
