It was private members'\nday and two bills for which J, H. Sinclair of Guyshoro stood sponsor were\nreferred to committee. One provided\nan amendment to the Shipping act,\nthis was sent to the marine and fisheries committee.\nMr. Sinclair's second bill, providing\na penalty for fraud upon the government in regard to military supplies,\nwas on the suggestion of the minister\nof justice, sent to a special committee.\nA request for seed .grain for farmers\nIn one or more remote and newer portions of the province of Quebec was\nmade by Hon. Charles Marcil at the\nopening of the house\nMr. Marcil said that arrangements\nhad been mnde for 101 lectures in. that\nprovince on the subject of \"Patriotism\nand Production.\" If the farmers were\nwithout seed grain these lectures will\nbe quite useless.\nHon. Dr, Roche replied that Mr.\nMarcil was getting two subjects confused. The department of agriculture\nwas conducting a campaign for an increase of production. The seed grain\nbeing distributed in the west was under the control of the department of\nthe interior. There had been a great\ndrought In a large part of Saskatchewan and Alberta and many of the\nfarmers had lost their whole crop. The\nhomesteaders of the west were tlio\nwards of the government and it had\nbeen the custom for some years to\ndistribute seed grain where needed\namong thorn. This year the want was\nso widespread, however, that lhe provincial government, which usually took\ncare of farmers on patented lands, is\nunablei to cope with the situation,\nConsequently the federal government\nwas distributing seed to homesteaders\nand to owners of patented Jandi as well\nand the provincial governments had\nagreed to give the federal government\na first lien on the land or the crops\nof farmers who owned their farms.\nIn the eastern provinces the natural\nresources were held by the provincial\nKovenimenls while in the prairies they\nwere held by the federal government.\nThis made a clear distinction between the two eases. He had already\nreceived an application for similar aid\nfrom northern Ontario but had returned it lo the petitioners with the intimation that they should appeal to the\nprovincial government.\nSoldiers Are Well Clothed.\nJ, Q. Turriff culled the attention, of\nthe government to an article in the\nJournal of Commerce (Montreal) entitled \"Our Sockless Soldiers.\" It recited the appeal made by Sir George\nPerley for comforts for the soldiers,\nespecially for heavy woolen articles\nand socks. Mr, Turriff said that every\none in Canada would agree that such\nan appeal should not be necessary. The\ngovernment should see that soldiers\nwere properly equipped. He aaked the\npremier for a statement on the subject.\nSir Robert Borden; in reply, stated\nthat if Mr. Turriff had taken the time\nto inquire he would huve found out\nthat the soldiers were provided with\nclothes and comforts on the some scale\nas the British army, but perhaps it had\nserved his purpose better to cast discredit on the government. He\\ ought\nto be aware that In Great Britain as\nwell as in Canada private individuals\nand associations were supplying comforts and extra articles of clothing\nfor the soldiers. The war was being\nwaged under difficult conditions and\nit was desirable that the men who go\nto the front should be furnished with\nall the comforts possible. Sir Robert\nsaid that he would not have thought\nthat anyone would find fault with the\ngovernment because such efforts us\nthese were being 'made by private persons.\nMr. Turriff asked permission, of the\nspeaker to make some reply to the premier but was not allowed to do so.\nheen transferred from the Canadian to\nthe American flag. After the war is\nover if no action is taken the whole\nCanadian coasting fleet is liable to be\ntransferred to the United Status register.\nHon. J. D. Hazem ndmltted tho question was one of considerable importance to the shipping industry company\nof Cunada. The question was one\nwhich had engaged the attention of\nthe officials of the department. It\nwas given special consideration in, 1913\nwhen the act to revise and consolidate\nthe Fishing act was introduced.\nAs this was an Important act and\nthere were many controversial points\nit was decided then not to press the\nmeasure but to endeavor to secure the\nviews of those Interested in the problem. The bill generally had met with\nfavor, although there had. heen some\ncriticisms. The bill had not been reintroduced this session as it had been\ndecided to make this a wur session.\nMr. Hazen pointed out that following the Titanic disaster a, convention\nwas held in .London to consider the\nproblem of the safety of human life at\nsea. This convention was concluded\nand Canada was a party to the regulations which were drafted and which\nbecome operative next July.\nBy this convention vessels employed\n200 miles off shore are to be regarded\nas foreign going vessels and subject\nto the regulations for safety required\nby seagoing vessels.\nAs the question raised by Mr. Sin\nclair was of more than ordinary lm\nportance Mr. Hazen suggested that the\nresolution without being passed be re\nferred to the committee on marine and\nfisheries of Canada. He moved an\namendment to this effect\nMr. Sinclair asked if it was proposed\nto reintroduce the shipping bill.\nMr. Hazen replied In the negative,\nbut said1 there would be no objection\nto amending the present act this session if 'it was considered advisable.\nAgainst Fraud in Militia Supplies.\nMr. Sinclair's bill to provide a pen\nnlty for fraud upon the government\nin regard to military supplies wus then\ncalled at the suggestion of the minister of justice and was given a second\nreading with the understanding that it\nwould be referred to a special committee.\nMr. Sinclair stated that the bill provided a (penalty of two years' imprisonment with or without hard labor and a\nfine of $51.1)0 for any person who\nknowingly sold defective military or\nnaval stores to the Canadian or British governments. In the case of an\nincorporated company this penalty applied to any director or officer who is\ncognizant of the fraud; and ln addition guilty companies are incapable of\nany further contracts with the govern\nment.\nMr. Sinclair went on to say that he\nhad a letter asking him to Inform the\nInspector of military stores that\nshoddy blankets were being manufactured in Toronto for the government,\nA German spy, he said, who was trying\nto get information for his government\nwus liable to be shot; but he was t\ngentleman compared with the Canadian contractor who, when his country\nwas engaged in a life and death\nstruggle, was plotting to defraud the\ngovernment by selling shoddy blan'\nkets or boots or a spavined horse.\nThe minister of justice said that no\none would hesitate to agree that any\nperson guilty of the crimes referred to\nshould be condlgnly punished. He felt\nsomewhat doubtful, however, as to the\naccuracy of the statement thut there\nwas no ponalty for such offenses In\nthe criminal code. But that was a\nmatter which could be cleared up later.\nIn the meantime, without committing the government to the principle of\nthe bill he would suggest that It be\nreferred to a special committee.\nThis suggestion of the minister was\nat once adopted and the house then\nadjourned.\nNaval Experts Offer Schemes Under\nWhich ^Merchantmen M'9ht De\"\nfend Themselves.\n(By Daily News Leased Wire.)\nLONDON, Feb. 19.\u2014Discussing submarine attacks on merchant shipping\nthe naval correspondent of tihe Times\nwrites a& follows:\n\"Admiral W. H. Henderson makes\nvarious suggestions for the conduct\nof masters of merchant ships when\nthey sight a submarine. They should\nrun away if they can but if they cannot they should attempt to dodge the\nsubmarine hy turning first to one side\nand then to the other. It is not likely that the admiral contemplates any\nlarge Interference by submarines\nwith the sea-borne trade since the\nnumber of effective vessels that Germany can employ at any one time,\nespecially ln water as far from their\nbase as the Irish sea, must he small.\n\"The U21 was the first of the larger\ntype of German submarines' and tt is\nnot probable that there are move than\na dozen of such vessels at the disposal of the enemy. Nor could all\nthese he used for anything approaching the character of a 'blockade at\nthe same time. A proportion must\neither be returning to their base for\nfresh supplies or proceeding to the\narea in which it is intended to operate. But apart from this matter there\nare one or two points in connection\nwith the admiral's suggestion which\ndeserve recognition.\nSubmarine Speed Superior.\n\"it will have been noticed in every\ncase where the submarines have appeared on the surface to overhaul a\nmerchant ship, it has been first seen\non the quarter, or somewhere abaft\ntiie beam, the intention manifestly being to use a torpedo if the vessel tried\nto run toward it; in other words, the\nsubmarine seemed to have been prepared for any attempt to ram. It is\nunlikely, therefore, that small vessels\nwith inferior speed to the submarines\ncould escape them by turning. On\nthe other hand, the submarine commander would scarcely care to expend a torpedo on such small' craft\nas were sunk in the Irish sea. There\ncan hot .be, either, a large number of\nmerchant ships that exceed In speed\nthe latest type of German submarines.\n\"Other correspondents have proposed various methods by which merchant ships may defend themselves\nagainst attacks of submarines. I do\nnot think it expedient to discuss the\nnature or these methods andi it is\ndoubtful whether any of them have official sanction. On March 2ti, 1913,\nWinston Churchill made an important\nstatement In the commons in connection with the protection of trade. He\nwas dealing particularly with the danger to which vessels might, in certain\ncircumstances, he liable from hostile\narmed merchantmen. The proper re\nply to the latter, he said, is the arm\ning of British merchantmen in their\nown defense. He did not su-?ges*.,\nhowever,.that our mercantile mat .ne\nshouldi arm itself against attacks by\nbeing regularly commissioned as men\nof-war. Tiie naval authorities may\nnow seem inclined to extent the protection thus outlined to vessels liable\nto submarine attack, but no announcement of the kind has been made at\npresent. Wh^n the war began there\nwere some 50 merchant ships carrying guns for defense and others have\ndoubtless been equipped in the same\nway.\nArmament Is for Defense.\n\"But aa far as is known these vessels have never had occasion to use\nthe armament with which they have\nbeen supplied, and as the menace on\ntrade routes diminishes it is quite\npossible that no such occasion may\narise.\n'There is a further point which\nmust be raised If every merchant ship\ncarried guns for Its protection agninst\nsubmarine attack. The merchantman\nis provided with an armament solely\nfor defense and not attack.\n\"In the case of the vessels stopped\nby Lieut.-Commander Hersing he\nseems in every case to have examined their papers and cargo and1 made\nsure of the cargo carried. The ownership and the destination were ascertained. To do this It was necessary\neither to board the vessel or to order\nits people to bring the papers to the\nsubmarine. This is following the\nproper course of examination described hy law.\n\"Neither does it seem right to conclude that because a merchant ship\nIs chased by a man-of-war therefore\nthe former is attached. Manifestly\nthere are important questions arising\nout of the proposals made by some of\nour correspondents which require\ncareful attention.\nMight Sail In a Bunch.\n\"It has been proposed) that merchant\nships should revert to the practise of\nancient times when a number sailed\ntogether for mutual protection and\nlhat 'where one ship is threatened by\na submarine the others should take\nmeasures for Us defense. It is an interesting question in international\nlaw whether without some authority\nfrom the government it would be legal\nfor merchant ships to undertake operations of this Jclnd. By a royal proclamation of 1672 merchant vessels\nwere instructed mutually to assist\nand to defend each other during their\nAdvance Showing of\nSpring Suits and Coats\nVictoria-Eugenie Period Inspires Spring Modes-Military Effects Are Freely Combined With Styles\nAdapted from This Period\nYou are invited to inspect these charming\ngarments, which are just to hand.\nThe manufacturers, in order to keep our Canadian factories going, are working on a very\nnarrow margin of profit, so that we are enabled\nto sell these first consignments at attractive\nprices.\nOwing to the great scarcity of clbths used In\nSuits and Coats, we expect a general advance in\nprices as the season progresses.\nAll these garments have been personally selected\nand excel in workmanship and material.

As a result they are\nunable to participate in a big trade\nto the south. Similarly on the western\ncoast masters of British Columbia\nschooners cannot at the present time\ntake a vessel further south than Portland harbor, ln view of tiie opening\nof the Panama canal Mr. Sinclair believed it was highly desirable that this\nshould be extended so as to Include\nthe ports of all South American countries.

Both these famous chiirch>\nmen died In exile. No such fate is like,\nly to befall Cardinal Mender. It is\nrather his country that Is in exile, he\nhlmsolr remaining 'lh Belgium an.\u00ab\ncheering his countrymen to the rago\nof the Germans, who, however, are re\u00bb-\nructant to use forco against such a\ndistinguished man, an action that\nwould surely bring down upon them\na storn reproof from the Vatican. One\npassage from Cardinal Mercier's- pastoral is worth quoting in connection\nwith somo facts concerning the career\nof this great prelate: \"God will save\nBelgium, my brethren,\" he. writes.\n\"Nay, rather. lie Is saving her, Across\nthe smoke of conflagration, across the\nstream of blood, havo you not glimpses\ndo you not perceive signs of His love\nfor us? Is thero a patriot among us\nwho does not know that Belgium lias\ngrown great? Nay, which of us\nwould have the heart to cancel thin\nlast; page otJ our national \u25a0 history?\nWhich of us does not exult in the\nbrightness of the gWy of this shattered nation?\"\nDefies German Power.\nTo thoso.who know Cardinal Mercier and probably thero was not another man in Belgium so welt known it\nwas not credible that he should remain\nsilent in the present crisis, or that tho\nfear of German reprisals would turn\nhim from the path of patriotic duty.\nlie stands beyond tho reach of German\nhate. Death or Imprisonment would\nlie borne as cheerfully as ever a. martyr of tho church faced ids tormentors. For a long life time now he has\nbeen devoted to tho Belgian people. Ho\nhas had no other Interest. In his diocese beforo the war there were not\nfewer than 1\\5DO,000 Catholics. As\nearly as 8 o'clock in the morning, says\nUev. Father .T. F. Stillemans, president\nof the American-Belgian bureau, people begin to gather in the ante-room\nat the palace.\nThe Friend of All.\nThere tiie aristocrat and the laborer,\ntho noblo dame and the working girt,\nold and young, gentle and simple, met\non equal terms. All had the samo\nprivilege of a personal audience with\nCardinal Mercier. They consulted with\nhlm upon spiritual matters and upon\ntheir own little personal affairs. He\nspent all day listening to them and\nRiving his fatherly advice. On days\nnot occupied with thoso duties tbe cardinal went forth to meet his people.\nHe lives with ascetic simplicity and\nWorks far into tho night. It is related\ntha* upon one of his visits some years\nago, when the cardinal was driving\ntp his automobile from Mechlin to\nAntwerp, ho saw a littlo girl playing\nin the mad and Jn danger of being\nrun over. He shouted to the driver\nto turn tho car Into a wail beside the\nroad and thus the child escaped. The\ncardinal, however, was thrown out\nwith great violence and to this day\nbears tho scars of his injuries.\nA Noted Philosopher.\nCardinal Mercier was born in a\nsmall hamlet near the field of Waterloo on iNov. 22, 1851, It might be said\nwith little exaggeration that from in\nfancy almost he was a student. He\nwas educated at Louvain and upon\ngraduation continued there as. a lecturer. It was to Prof. Mercier that\nLeo XIII entrusted tha task cf reviving interest In the Thomlstic or neo-\nscholftstic philosophy. He was then* a\ndoctor of philosophy, theology and literature and later on became president\nof the Royal academy of sciences\/letters and fine arts in Belgium. At Louvain one of his pupils was- Father\nStillemans, who says In tho New York\nTimes, \"How well we, his old students,\nremember him. How clear his doctrines were, how complete his teachings, how convincing his arguments.\nBut Prof. Mercier was not satisfied by\nmerely giving conferences to the body\nof students as a whole. He had his\neye on each one personally, His motto\nwas \"Work and Virtue.\" He soon discovered the talented worker among his\nstudents and such a one he would encourage and guide on to private, deeper study. The result of this has been\nthat Belgium's school of philosophy\ntoday might well, be called tho 'Disciples of Mercier.'\"\nSo great was Prof. Mercier's reputation asi a philosopher and teacher that\nthere was considerable regret expressed among students in other countries when he was appointed to the\nArohblBhoprlc of Mechlin in 1906, for\nIt was felt that tho'administration of\na large diocese would occupy thc time\nthat might be so profitably spent In\npurely intellectual labors. The next\nyear he was made a cardinal. It Is\nsaid tbat from the first he displayed a\nremarkable acquaintance.with the: details of administration. Since then\nCardinal Mercier has been regarded as\none of the most progressive and modern of the princes of tbe church In\nwhom any proposed reform always\nhad a.hearty champion. Should there\nbe in store for him dtny greater honor\nthe Catholic church can bestow he\nwill have fresh opportunities of proving blmpelf to bo one of the great men\nof his time.\nA Scott went to London for a holir\nday.
