How the volunteer army
system broke down
in England

CIT SPEEDILY became obvious that
l the system of volunteering had
broken down. Many patriotic men
enlisted freely. Others equally we'll
disposed declined, insisting that there
must be an equality of sacrifice-if the
government told them that it was es
sential for them to go, provided others
of their age and condition were re-
CURED to go also A grossly unjust
state of affairs had come into existence.
Married men with children had enlisted
and single men with no responsibilities
remained behind to enjoy the war;
to use the popular phrase. Employees
in patriotic stores enlisted en- masse
and nearby stores in the same line did
not hesitate to retain their workers
and thrive

How England is now
giving her conscripts
ADVANCED war training

uIATELY, we have learned an even
more rigid method of teaching.
We give q short preliminary
training here in England, and then
much longer period in France or else
where close to the war Would not
such a plan be suitable if the United
States should decide to send contin-
gent overseas? There are hundreds
of reasons why people learn war more
quickly at war than they could learn
it at home. If a man wants to get
cured, he is, as rule, more quickly
cured by going to cure place than
by staying around home and acqualnt-
ances. Once landed in France, the
European soldier has nothing to think
of but the profession of war.

FOUNDED ON JUSTICE
To Secure Peace Ger
many Must Shake Off
Despotism Says Ribot

Paris, Thursday. Sept 6.-In his
speech today at the celebration of the
anniversary Of the battle Of the Marine,
Premier Ribot, after referring to the
determination of France to recover
Alsace and Lorraine, said:
France unites with the civilized
world in the claim for a guarantee
Of peace; that it will not be merely
temporary truce but durable accord,
founded on justice. Where shall we
find that guarantee? 1t is for the
German people to understand that it
depends upon them to give it by shak-
ing off the noxious military despotism.
which is a heavy burden for them as
we'll as danger for the rest Of the
world.
IF the German people refuse to be-
come. pacific democracy they will
risk being affected in their economic
interests by league of common de-
fence of peoples forced to combine
against them. Whoever seeks to make
the constant menace of aggression
weigh upon the world must no COM
plain because the world seeks to pro-
tect itself with all the means at Its
disposition"

WOMAN SUFFRAGE
MEASURE ISSUE IN
OTTAWA PARLIAMENT

Ottawa, Sept. The Liberal opposi-
ton In Parliament held a meeting
today and decided 10 ask the en-
reimbursement OF all women. The act
introduced by the government vest
erday would extend the franchise only
20 the female relatives of Canadian
soldiers overseas. 1t was pointed out
al the opposition meeting that this
would not give the vote to the female
relatives of the hundred thousand
men to be gathered under conscrip-
ton for they would be in Canada and
not overseas when the election is
held
In support Of their amendment the
opposition proposes to take the posi-
ton that there are thousands OF wom-
en- who. while not represented at the
front are engaged in war work and
should have voting power. 1t also was
proposed that if the government should
attempt to put the franchise bill
through by cloture. the liberals wouio
leave the chamber in a body as
protest.
AS Parliament expires by statute
in 20 DAYS the government requires
expeditions action to get the measure
through the two houses before Par
lament dies. Discussion Of tn" bill
hv the Commons will he resumed sat
urday. 1t is estimated that by the
government measure 100000 votes OF
women related to soldiers would be ad-
ded to the 100000 soldier votes To
gether these would comprise more than
a third Of the total voting strength
Of the country and are expected 70
he a hig factor in deciding the cleo
ton. The government bill. it is cal
culated will take the right OF iran
chise from more than $4,000 persons OF

CATHOLIC cENTR|sTs'
FORMAL STATEMENT
REGARDING PEACE

Berlin, Thursday. Sept. (via London.
Sept. O.-The Roman Catholic Centrist
party has issued formal statement deal
ing with President wilson's reply to the
peace note of Pope Benedict Inasmuch
as this statement is now making the
rounds Of the party press 1t may be
taken for granted that it reflects the Off
cial views Of its sponsors It urges that
the Presidents message, although phras-
ed in a tone which is considered often
sive, should be considered wholly in the
light of its essential and objection prin-
ciple This. it is pointed out, gives a
different picture from that reflected In
the early press comment.
The declaration of the Centrists then
discusses the discrepancy between the
war aims set down in Presidents VII
sons message and those proclaimed by
the Entente adding that in this respect
Mr.. wilson's reply ought to prove accept
able. The statement then deals with the
Presidents demand that the German peo-
ple stand sauarely for their government
saying:
What Mr.. Wilson has to say con-
corning tle ucfilp'i hti"''i''' -
German empire has only demonstrated
the helpless ignorance of this learned
President Of the United States. He
does not seem to have the slightest
conception of German conditions
Otherwise he would have avoided, in
connection with such momentous
message, conjuring UP a comparison
between methods Of government of the
Washington.
Where is the more democratic sys-
tenn to be found today-Berlin or
Washington? If in truth there stands
today at the head Of any belligerent
nation a real autocrat. he may be
found in the United States. Nowhere
else has ruler attempted to suppress
the right and desire of the people to
cooperate in the government. Is it
necessary to remind the President
that the accredited representatives Of
the German people on July 10 of this
year solemnly participated in the dis
position Of their destinies? And is it
further unknown to him that the Ger
man chancellor has summoned seven
members from the ranks Of parlia-
ment to confer and collaborate with
him in formulating the reply to the
Pope"
