WANT CANADIANS.
Premier Borden Appeals for
More Men for War.
Must Keep Canadian Units
Ready for Heavy Attack.

: Ottawa. April 1s.-Regardless of
sacrifices Canada must keep her fight
ing divisions on the western front
to full strength, Sir Robert Borden
premier, stated during a secret ses
SION of the house of commons yes
terday. An official account of the
meeting was made public here today.
Canada also must SO organize her re-
naming human power as to main
tain, and if possible increase agri-
cultural production, Sir Robert said.
Speaking to members and officials
of the house and the senate the
premier made a complete survey of
the war situation treating of the mill
tary position, supply and production
of foodstuff and shipping. He pre-
scented a communication from Lloyd
George, sent especially for reading at
this secret session. The text of this
| message was not made public.
r. Must Keep Units Full.
Abiding to Germany's apparent de-
termination to destroy the BRUSH
army in France, Sir Robert presented
detailed confidential information as
to the strength of fresh forces which
| have been raised each by Great Brit
ian, France and Canada, in order to
combat this offensive. A German at
! tack in full force upon the CANADIAN
army corps must be expected, the pre-
mier said. when this will come no
| one can say he declared, but in
view of the strategic value of the po-
| sition of the Canadian there can be
l no doubt but that they must be pre-
pared to meet any Sc ttacks launched
I by the enemy and the country must
| be prepared to provide the reinforce
| ments to make good all the losses.
| Position Extremely Grave.
T The government has been in COM
| munication with the overseas military
authorities and as the result of the
most careful consideration, the clear
conclusion has been rea ched that If
! the Canadian army corps is to be
maintained as an effective lighting
! force additional measures must be
] taken. 1t must be recognized that
the position is one of extreme gray
! ity. Germany must be defeated and
to this end Canada must provide all
! the assistance in her power. We must
supply the men necessary to keep ouI
/ divisions up to full strength, no mat
ter what casualti IS are suffered
1 After Sir Roberts statement. dis
I cussion took place, participated in by
