CANADA VOTING ON
CONSUMPTION ISSUE

Montreal, Que. Dec. 17.-Canada Is
voting on consumption today. The un-

ert Borden, Is up for reelection. It
is opposed by Sir Wilfrid Laurier's lib
erals. who are pledged to delay opera
ton of the CONSUMPTION law put
through by the unionists.
The votes of 100000 Canadian SOL
diers In the trenches and of the wo-
men relatives of those troops may de-
eide the Issue. These women relatives
were recently enfranchised and are
casting their first ballots today.
The union fight has been made on
the ground that defeat of CONSUMPTION.
now after 1t has been enacted. ana
after the first call for troops under it
has been set for Jan. 8, will make the
troops abroad believe they are being
deserted. Borden's greatest strength
is in western Canada. The province OF
Quebec. in which the French vote is
strong. may elect more liberals than
unionists to parliament but Borden
expects to win in the west.
The election in Halifax has been
postponed and the vote In some distant
provinces will not be taken until later.

the French first line trenches has been

Of raids along the Alsace and Lor-

SOCIALISTS Of

with a representative Of Russia to
angle for peace.
Scheidmann, leader Of the majority
Socialists. is a firm supporter OF the
German government, managing in
some inexplicable way to bend his
pseudo Socialistic creed to fit in with
Germany's outocratic course.
1t was Scheidmann who last sum-
mer tried for weeks to call an in
ternational Socialist conference on
peace at Stockholm. At that time,
it was known that he was direct
agent of the German autocratic gov
eminent and presumably the govern
ment was seeking to foster just such
an alleged Socialist meeting.
DOMINATED BY GERMANS
At any rate, the German govern
ment made preparations whereby the
German Socialists of the Scheidmann
type would manage to dominate and
control any such "internationals.'
Scheidmann lined up the information
al Socialist bureau of The Hague be-
hind such an international conference,
Then French Socialist and British
laborite members were forbidden I'd
attend any such patiently German-in
spired meeting and the conference fell
through.
Kerensky was then at the head of
the Russian government. He saw
through the German scheme to work
through alleged Socialists. and al
though Russian delegates were ap-
pointed to the Stockholm meeting,
none ever attended. Scheidmann and
other Socialists" were in Stockholm
from early in August on through Sep
TENDER, off and on. postponing the
date of peace" conference" from week
to week.
GERMAN SCHEME SEEN.
The international Socialist bureau
finally scented the German scheme, to
seek peace of a German brand
through pseudo Socialist maneuvers
and in a conference which was held
last September did not permit gen
eral meeting of the few delegates
there The executive committee of the
bureau did hold separate meetings
with Dutch. German Scandinavian and
other delegations.
Three men appeared Claiming to
represent American Socialists.
The Scheidmann scheme for gen.
eral meeting at which German Soc
ialists would be in the majority, fell
through.

ALI ALLIES
Will Stand
BY GUNS TO
THE FINISH
Admiral Benson and Gen
eral Bliss, Home From
Paris Conference, Pleased
With the Outlook.
Reports Made to Secretaries
That Real Speed Is Need
ed in Sending More Men
and Ships Into Action To
Confer With President.

Washington, Dec. 17-Home from
planning broad gauge war work, Ad-
miral Benson and General Bliss-army
and navy chiefs--today felt that all
the allies. including the United States,
are In the war lock, stock and barrel
and win not turn back until victory is
achieved.
Though they gathered a full reali-
strengthened Teuton forces on the
west front, 1t was manifest from their
brief expressions that the spirit Of de-
termination among all the fighters is
such that the Germans must ulti-
mately yield.
BULLDOG SPIRIT SHOWN.
They we're particularly pleased at
tho bulldog spirit shown by Americas
men on land and sea. and held 1t
argued well for the future.
Both chiefs reported to their secre-
taries, briefly, however that real speed
Is needed in sending more men and
more ships over there.
They are scheduled to have longer
conferences with the secretaries later
and also will discuss with their lead
ing subordinates problems presented
by the recent allied conference.
Just when Colonel House. head of
the mission. will consult with Presi-
dent Wilson Is unknown. though it is
assumed his written reports will be
supplemented by verbal one very
soon.
NEW TURN EXPECTED.
Retween his reports and those OF
bliss and Benson, a new turn to the
war work can be anticipated. In the
army, this will be expedited by the
war council announced Saturday
night by Secretary Baker.
Meantime Secretary Baker has a
slightly more optimistic view of the
whole war problem than he offered a
week ago, fer his weekly summary
last night denied that the German
now has the initiative in the west.
This report, pointed out that he Is
making desperate attempt to put
across" something big there-appar-
emily to further his forthcoming peace
moves.
Incidentally the summary added
that reprisal air raids over Germany
have been successfully initiatived'
bringing home to Germany some of

ONLY GREETINGS
in THE FORM OF
SHELL FOR FRITZ
No Christmas Amenities at
the Front for the Sammies
There for Business, Not
Pleasure.

Washington, Dec. 17.-There win be
no holiday trench amenities between
Fritz and Sammy on the American
front this Christmas. Fritz may try
it, but he won't get far. This came Of
ficially from the war department to-
day.
When Fritz pokes his seductive little
yuletide trees up over the trench top
in the American sector they will get
the same dose the Tommies and Poilus
gave them last winter when they shot
them to pieces as fast as they appear
ed. There will be no American reply
to Fritz's greetings, either.
TO ANSWER WITH GUNS.
When he roars his gutterals across
No Mans land. the Sammies will let
their guns answer him.
With the picture of their first killed
and wounded fresh in his mind. it is
considered unlikely by war depart
ment officials that the American boys
will so much as countenaace a lull in
the firing Christmas eve or Christ
mas day.
With broad hints Of a peace offer
trucking through from Amsterdam. 1t
is considered certain the Boche will
evince a desire to be friendly during
the holidays. But the only present
Sammy has for Fritz Is a lot Of nice
Christmas explosives which will not
only be delivered the Teuton via gun
powder express. but also opened up
and scattered around among him
lavishly.
Sammy's only Christmas greeting to
him will be fight"
And all his Christmas visits will be
paid with the point Of his bayonet
preceding him.
NO REORGANIZATION
Primarily" said the official declara-
ton at the war department today,
'there Is no spirit Of determination
among our troops. They are for bus
mess not pleasure.
Then, too, our command In France
is in very close touch with the French.
They understand the situation thor
oughly and know precisely how to deal
with 1t.
IF 1t Is found advisable to make II
clear to the American troops that no
tinge of comradeship Is to be shown
in the holiday week fighting, General
Pershing might issue a general order,
but 1t is not believed this will be ne
cessary."
