CANADIANS ARE IN
FAVOR Of DRAFT
HOUSE OF COMMONS APPROVES
BILL FOR COMPULSORY
MILITARY SERVICE.
Premier Borden Secures Big Majority
for Draft, Plan to Submit Pro-
posai to Referendum of the
People Being Defeated.

Ottawa, Ont-The Canadian house
of commons on July 6 adopted the reso-
luton offered by Premier Borden, pass
ing to second reading the bill for com
pulsory military service.
Exciting scenes marked the taking
of the vote, which stood rs for con-
scription and fifty-ive against.
The vote gave the government about
twenty more votes than 1t usually polls
on important questions. This was the
result of considerable number of
English-speaking liberals breaking
away from the leadership of Sir VIII
fred Laurier and joining Premier Bor-
den In support of CONSUMPTION.
Before the bin was sanctioned Sir
Wilfred Laurier's proposal that the
opinion of the people on CONSUMPTION
should be tested by a referendum was
defeated by a majority of forty-nine.
The attendance of members of the
house was the largest that had been
seen in parliament for many years.
The galleries were filed with specta-
tors throughout the night and until the
closed at sunrise. ma
lority of the spectators were soldiers
returned from Europe and women.

MEXICO MAY MAKE:
WAR ON GERMANY
PROMINENT MExlcANs PREDICT
DECLARATION OF WAR WITH
IN THIRTY DAYS.
Cite Emphatic Reply Of General Con-
zales to German Consul at Chi
huahua Who Demanded the
Release of Subjects.

III PasO, Tex.~-Slnce the pro-ally
campaign IN Mexico was first started
by "El Universal" In Mexico City the
sentiment fsvoring the allies has
reached northern Mexico, and during
the last thirty days a well-defined
movement favoring AN open break with
Germany and the alignment of Mexico
on the side of the entente allies has
developed. This has been in spite Of
the pro-Gernnn sentiment published
daily IN Chihuahua City and In papers
believed 10 be subsidized by the Ger
mans In the north.
A reflection OF this sentiment was
seen recently in the statement by Gen
eTal Francisco Gonzales. acting com
mander In chief Of the northeastern
military zone. with headquarters at
Chihuahua. He was overcharged by
The German firm Of Ketelsen K Dege-
tau for some padocks. The manager

SENATE PUTS BAN ON BOOZE.
Goes on Record as Favoring Prohibit
ton During the War.

Washington-The senate went on
record on July in favor of bone
dry" national prohibition during the
war. so far as whisky and other dis
TILED beverages are concerned.
Liquor legislation was written into
the food control bill in one of the
senates bitterest contests, which
would strike at consumption of dis
TILED intoxicants by Communicating
stocks in bond in addition to pro-
hibiting their manufacture or impor-
tation. The beer and wine industries
would be left undisturbed.
While the final prohibition legisla-
ton win be evolved in conference be-
fore the two houses, it is generally
rgarded as possible that the house
win accept the senate's change after
q fight in behalf of the original sec
ton.
The senate provision would limit
consumption to stocks in retailers
hands or withdrawn before the law
goes into effect. Stocks of distilled
beverages in bond were estimated
at between 200,O0O,O00 and 3O0,-
100000 gallons, and the annual nor
mai consumption at 120,0Oo.O00 gall
Ions. To purchase this enormous
quantity of liquor, or what is left of
1t after Withdrawals in multiplication
of the legislation, it is estimated that
the government would have to spend
from $500. 100000 TO 81 900, 600
The probable loss In federal revenues
is placed at from S20O,00O.0O0 TO
S400,000,000. although this, rs well as
the cost of purchase. would depend
entirely on how much liquor was with
drawn tax-paid before the COM
Wandering.

uPHeAvAL IN GERMANY Due.
Various Factions Favor Electoral and
Parliamentary Reforms.

Berlln.~-Unless all present indica
lions fail In the course of the mex
few days. the German empire is on
the eve OF momentous If not his
toricnl parliamentary upheaval. De
velopments In the last few days point
to significant realignment Of va
rlous factions In favor OF sweeping
ELECTORAL and parliamentary reforms.
Although the sessions of the main
committee aud the constitutional com
mittee have been OF an executive ma
ture. press comments permit the In
ference that the discussions OF vital
subjects Of governmental policy have
frequently reached the boiling point.
That they have been OF gravely sig
import is Indicated clearly by
The sudden decision TO postpone the

general debate and the expected
speech of Chancellor Won Betbmaun
