Exemption Laxity
Alleged in Quebec
French Canadian Boards
Freeing Men Wholesale,
Is Ontario Charge
Especial Correspondence]

OTTAWA, Nov. 25.-The anti-con'
scriptionist element, it is believed,
managed to get its representatives on
the exemption boards in Quebec Prov
ince, with the result that of totaI
of 1877 cases of exemption claims only
235 have been denied. In many towns
in Quebec all who claimed exemption
had their appeals granted.
Press and pulpit throughout Canada
are calling upon the government to
take action against the exemption
boards. "The Toronto Globe IN an
editorial says:
Toronto has already provided al
most $4,000 men for overseas duty, a
greater number than the entire Prov
ince of Quebec. Montreal is still
swarming with men fit for the trenches
Why is it that the tribunals are ex-
empting so great a proportion of these
men? Is the law obeyed? Is 1t the
intention of the government to appeal
against the decisions of the tribunals,
so that there shall be an equal and
IMPARTIAL enforcement of the act In
every province of the Dominion ?"
Archdeacon Cody Of Toronto said in
a sermon:
"If the exemption tribunals in the
Province of Quebec keep on exempting
men at the rate they have been OK
cmpting them il will be little short OF
a farce" ,
Persistence in this course. he said
-,,,,e4 res,ilt in the continued isolation
o. that province.
In a statement issued here Premier
Borden intimated that the government
did not intend to pass unnotlced the
action of tribunals in many localities
where wholesale exemptions have been
granted under the military act. Que
bee, however, was not mentioned in the
statement
The rioting spirit OF the anti-con-
scriptionists, which has been dormant
for some time, again showed itself at
the opening meeting of the campaign
OF the Hon. Albert Sevigny, Minister of
Inland Revenue, in Westmount, q Mon
treal suburb. The anti-conscription
lists hooted and jeered his utterances in
favor of CONSUMPTION, while their
friends outside threw stones at the
windows. Several arrests were made.
Other speakers were visited with the
same sort of treatment, one of them
icing pushed off a chair Throughout
the disturbance the antl-conscription-
lists gave frequent cheers for Laurierr,
ara at one time during Mr.. Sevigny's
speech they kept up this cheering Tor
ten minutes.

artillery exceeding anything yet used
on the Russian side smashed great
fields of wire work after two days

Considerable precautions had been
taken to assemble regiments of in

is in accordance with Russian tradi-
ton, Russian armies holding world s

STOCKHOLM. July Al have been
informed from cautious German sourc-
es that the general staff is arranging
its program on basis that the war
will continue for two years and that
10000 American troops will par
ticipate in the conflict during that
time.
The Russian government, in appeal
ing to the Ukranian independence TO-
mentors to cease their activities, says:
I'm your zeal to be free, don't give
Russia this blow and yourselves a
blow that may mean death.
Ukranians Stand Pat.
In spite of this plea. the Ukranian
lawyers assembly declares that the
Ukranian judiciary is functioning in
dependently of Russia and only judges
speaking the Ukranian language shall
sit. The central council of the Ukra-
MAN movement has addressed the Rus
sian law council note asserting the
legality of the autonomy movement.
English observers declare that the
Ukranian movement is for no doll

genuine independence movement in

The heavy compulsory Finnish ex-
port to Russia is flooding Finland

diana show, the women made strenu-
Gus efforts to get their names on the
books. The later word that contempt
proceedings will not be entertained
against county clerks permitting wom-
en- to register, relieved the situation.
In q number Of cities county offic-
ials did all they could to assist the
women to register before the time set
for stopping the work. In Lafayette
a large sign was put on the front Of
the court house inviting women to
register Immediately. To meet the
after the time the clerk was supposed
placed in his office. The same pro-
oeedings was rtaken at Huntington.

In Shelbyville the county clerk held
{. reception and informal celebration
TO get women to register before 1t
was thought it would be too late, and

diana Supreme Court passed on the
question. Willard G. Fraley, clerk of
Decatur county, gave public notice
that while he woulu be prohibited
from letting women register, he would
receive applications and hold them. un-
til the Supreme Court acted.
From Warsaw came the report that
the first real rush o. women to regis
ter was caused by the decision and its
supposed effect. Reports that officials
at Wabash, Newcastle, Seymour, Col
umbus and Rushville had all they
could do to accommodate the women,
were made.
From Monroe county came the fol-
lowing report concerning the rush:
They (the women filled the chairs
around the table and all standing
room that was left. We gave them
blanks and pens and sent them to the
clerks office until they filled that.
Then we sent them to the treasurer's
office. That filled and we sent women
to the auditors office. Finally it was
necessary to send others of the crowd
TO the library.
The Supreme Court will hear argu.
ments on July 10 on the question of
women's right to vote at the election.
