CONSCRIPTION ISSUE
IN CANADIAN ELECTIONS
Soldier and Woman Elements Ex-
pected by Government to Vote
Down Referendum Proposition.

OTTAWA, Ont, December 17.-Upon
the decision today of the voters
throughout the Dominion rests the fate
OF the new union government. which. if
retained in office, will enforce seiective
conscription to fill the ranks of the
Canadian army overseas. Opposing Sir
Robert Borden, leader of the union
forces. is the veteran liberal leader, Sir
Wilfrid Laurier, who proposes refer
endum as an alternative to the COM
pulsory conscription law, pIedging the
liberals to abide by the will of the
voters
The polls opened at 6 o'clock this
morning and will close at pm. BY ac-
clamation already made eighteen Lau-
rier and eleven Borden supporters have
been returned without opposition -Four
contests have been deferred, leaving de-
cisions to be given in 202 constituen-
cies. II Is estimated that there are a
million and quarter male domestic
votes, 100000 overseas soldiers votes
and probably half million women who
are permitted to vote through relation
ship with soldiers in service. Both the
Borden and the Laurier managers ex-
press confidence, while the prevailing
belief is that the decision will be given
| by the soldier and the woman votes
| The government bases it's hopes on the
:, soldier and woman elements to retain
the Borden ministry and confirm CON
| scfiption with heavy majorities

BRITISH LABOR DEMANDS
RESTORATION OF BEL GUM
Opposes Aggression by Allies, But
Wants World Safe for
Democracy.

LONDON, December 17.-The Daily
Telegraph prints long statement on
war aims and peace policies formulated
by the parliamentary committee of the
trades union congress and executive OF
the labor party, which is to be submit
ted for Endorsement by all sections of
the British labor movement at con-
ference at Westminster December 2S.
The statement follows mainly the terms
of a similar pronunciamento published
and cabIed abroad some months ago.
It declares that in continuing the
war labor Is actuated by determine
tion to make the world safe for de-
moeracy hereafter. No sympathy is
expressed with attempts to convert the
war into one of conquest, but the state
ment insists that restitution aud repa-
ration and also certain territorial re-
adjustments are necessary, il the re-
newal of armamentS and war is to be
avoided.
The statement puts at the forefront
a demand for the restoration and re-
habilitation of Belgium at the expense
of Germany 1t deals also with Alsace-
Lorraine, Italy, the Balkans, Poland
Turkey and German African colonies
on lines similar to those suggested in
earlier documents.
