Votes of Soldiers and
Women To Be the De-
Gliding Factor
Unionists Confident
Premier Makes Final Appeal
to Country to Stand by
Men in Trenches
[SpecnL Corresp0ndenccl

]
OTTAWA, Dec. 16.-Canada is cx-
pected to return the Union government
tomorrow. The latest estimates in the
hands of The Tribune tonight indicate
that the Unionists will win by ma
jority of thirty electoral votes. r.
large part the issue, however, depends
on the vote Of the women and the SOL
diers, which cannot correctly be fore
cast.
Three hundred thousand soldiers will
vote, and the result of the balloting
overseas will not be known for a month.
For each military vote there are eI-
pected TO be at least two women's
votes. Voting in Halifax will not take
place until January % on account Of
the regent disaster.
Premier Sir Robert Borden and Sir
Wilfrid Laurier. leader Of the Opposi-
tion, closed their respective campaigns
last night. The Premier. speaking
here, appealed 20 the country to stand
by the soldiers in the trenches by re-
turning the government TO power.
"Will you not keep faith with those
who have fallen and those that still
live p" he said. "Lleave the issue with
you with supreme confidence that your
message to them will not be OF dismay
or despair, but of hope and Of victory.
I'VE could win this election without
a doubt declared Sir Wilfrid Laurier
in his closing speech at Vancouver,
but for the denominations Of the so
called franchise act
The Latest Forecast

PARIS. Dec. 16.-EX-Premier Joseph
Caillaux, expected soon to go on trial
on charges Of treason, has given out to
the press a letter he sent to Gustave
Herve, which undoubtedly indicates the
line Of defence he will pursue.
This letter was sent after HeTve's
newspaper, LA Victoire," had given the
accusations against the distinguished
leader Of the Independent Socialists
their first publicity. In it Caillaux re-
views his famous trips TO Italy, where
he is said 70 have met emissar.es Of
the enemy, and takes up his connec-
tions with the notorious Bolo and his
financial interest in the magazine
"Bonnet Rouge the editor Of which,
Miguel Almereyda, committed suicide
in prison.
The letter says:
"You say that ] an accused Of hay-
ing talked in Italy in pacifst and de-
featist ways. II is insinuated that VI.
Bolo received a mission from me when
he went TO America; my financial con-
nection with the Bonnet Rouge is a

The above includes fifteen seats that
Laurier has already BY acclamation
and ten that the Unionists have.
Liberal leaders claim tonight that
Laurier will get 135 seats. Their fore
cast is as follows:

German Ships Are Taken Over
By United States

Washlnton, Aoril 6.-While a
final decision has not been
reached, indication after today's
Cabinet meeting were that
nearly a hundred German mer-
chant vessels taken over IN diff
ferent ports today will be regrd-
ed as the property of the Ameri.
can Government and paid for
after the war.
The vessels laid up in Ameri
can harbors for safety at the
outbreak of the war in Europe
were seized early today. immedi-
ately after the Houses passage of
the war resolution. The crews
will be removed to migration
detention station stations, there
to be treated as aliens admissible
to the country if able to pass the
ordinary migration tests. The
fact that many are Naval re-
servists will not serve to bar
them.

Must Increase Its Food Crops

Atlanta, April 5.-Carl Vroo-
man, assistant secretary of agri-
culture, addressing the South.
eastern States food crop confer
ence here today, declared that
unless the South increased its
food crop in the event of war.
the South, like Germany, faces
starvation"
This condition will not arise
because the United States will
not have food enough to supply
this section," asserted Mr.. Vroo-
man, but such condition
threatens because of a shortage
of freight cars and the possibility
OF other sections being unable
to ship foodstuffs here"
He called attention to the fact
that the South had been import
ing $6OO,OOO,OOO to 100000, 900
worth of foodstuffs annually
from other sections and said the
South would go hungry with.
out this aid"
The assistant secretary who
came South to open the govern.
menfs suggestion for increased
food crops spoke to members of
the Atlanta and Georgia Cham
bers of Commerce and delegates
to the Southern Cattlemen's as.
recitation in convention here.
He asserted food crop must be
increased because the United
States was called upon to sup
ply the allies with foou and fl.
nancial assistance.
do not bslieve the United
States will send troops to Eu-
rope at least for the first year
unless small contingent of TO-.
600 10 10000 is dispatched for the
moral effect it would have" he

Cuba Has Declared War on
Germany

Habana, April 5.-The belief
is expressed here by high gov
ernment officials that Cuba will
follow the lead of the United
States government if the Amer
lean congress passes the resolu-
ton declaring that state of war
exists between the United States
and Germany. In this event
Cuba will at once place her
army and naval forces at the dis.
posal of the United States.
The belief is also expressed
that if Cuba should declare that
a state of war exists between the
island republic and Germany,
President Menocal will recon.
mend to congress the passage of
a law making service in the ma
tional militia obligatory ON all
Cuban citizens of military age
who are vsically fit. From
these men the ranks of the req
ulary army and navy would be
filled.

Brazil On Verge Of Declaration
OF Hostilities

Washington, April 8.-Early
entrance of several of the South
and Central Anne rican Nations
in the war against Germany is
regarded here as practically Ger.
tain. Brazil, aroused by the
sinking of her steamship Parana,
is expected to become a belliger,
ent this week and it is assumed
that her lead will be followed
promptly by other countries.
Reports of divided opinion in
Argentina have given officials
here little announcement to
look for aggressive action by
that country. Active support of
the United States by at least two
of the five Central American
Republics and possibly by four,
would not be surprising. Of
ficial and unofficial reports that
Estrada Cabrera, President of
Guatemala, is contemplating
seriously a break with Germany,
have been received. So long as
Mexico's course is underlined,
unusual interest is attached to
the position of the Central
American Governments, es-
pecially that of Guatemala, con
trolling the southern frontier OF
Mexico. In the event of the de.
velopment of an unfriendly situa
ton in Mexico, it is realized that
Guatemala's role would be fa1
from unlmportant. In Guate.
mala, Estrada Cabrera has built
up what is regarded generally as
the most efficient army in Cen.
tral America, and with it he
would be in a position to lend
valuable assistance to the United
States. Antipath between the
Guatemalans and the Mexicans
there has existed for years.
