OTTAWA, May 11-Young Canadians

the men in France, than at any time in

scription law that compels all men from
Twenty to twenty-three to report at
once is responsible to a degree. but the
changed attitude of the province of
Quebec is more largely responsible.
The French Canadians are signing up
in large numbers. That province, it is
Expected, will lead during the next few
months.
The French Canadians have opposed
transcription from the beginning. There
has been failure in getting the view

resulting bitterness. misunderstanding
and distrust. The liberal members of
the union government-Quebec being
solidly iberal-have shown much tact

so than the need demands, the people

STARTED IN ColleSeS.
The movement in Quebec started in
the colleges. In less than a week about
1000 men have reported from them.
Laval has filled up the tank battalion
of $50 men, and more are anxious to
go. This university will send all the
graduating class fit for service and

have been on the firing line. The
capture Of Courcelette was a feat of
French Canadians.
Recruiting Going On.

nSures are not available at the pres
ent time, but there will be q sufficient
number before the summer is past to
guarantee the Integrity of the Canadian
army in France.
The farmers are complaining because
the young men are being taken from
the farms. The government is telling
them to put in their crops now and it
will rearrange the disposition of the
man power Of the country in such a
way that they will have plenty Of help
for the harvest. They will need So 900
men for the hsrvests this year. The
United States will send men to the
western provinces, while Ontario and
the east will look after themselves.
The people are accepting the new
taxes with good grace, all except the
tax on tea and TOBACCO.

Concerning the Opera Glass.

1t would be interesting to trace the
full history Of what Is known as the
opera glass, but which probably exist
ed In some form or other long before
Its widespread use ut the opera gave
II that distinctive name.
We know that the aucients had the
magnifying glass and something akin
to the modern telescope; glass being
much more freely used In antiquity
than until few years ago was ac-
knowledged by some historical wise
acres. But. though We read Of the
burning Of ships by powerful magni-
fers Of the SUMS rays. and Of observa-
tons Of the heavenly bodies by means
Of the telescope. we do not know
whether the bodies on the stage were
brought under clearer inspection BY
means Of the equivalent Of the opera
glass.
