He is in a\nvery different position to that which\nhe held before tho measure had received thc royal assent. Then he was\nfree to say pretty nearly anything he\npleased. Now thj bill is the law of\nthe land aud if he urges anyone to\nbreak it he becomes himself a violator\nof tho law.\nThe government at Ottuwu expects\nsome such violations and it is preparing to deal with them firmly. Men who\nbreak the law by urging others to violate the conscription law will go to\nJail. That is the proper place for thorn.\nIt will be noted that the government\nintends that the Dominion police, where\nnecessary, shall cooperate with the\nprovincial and civic authorities in\ncarrying out any prosecutions that\nmay arise. In the province of Quebec that may be necessary, if city or\nprovincial police in isolated cases\nshould sympathize sufficiently with\nsedltlonlsts to refuse to do their duty.\nperlal regiments have fought and what\ntremendous casualties they have sustained. Gen. Maurice gives figures.\nOn the western front there aro six imperials engaged to every soldier from\nall dominions and colonies overseas,\nwhich means that Great Britain's representation on a basis of population\nfar exceeds that of the dominions as a.\nwhole. He deala only with the western\nfront, and does not mention the hundreds of thousands of British troops engaged elsewhere. His figures show\nthat the percentage of imperial casualties is also correspondingly heavy. In\nfact it is somewhat heavier.\nThese figures are not discreditable\nto tho overseas dominions.

But the Russian soldier Is not a coward. He Is\ndeserting In thc face of the enemy\nnnd deserting the cause which he has\nat heart because he has been persuaded by German-paid agitators that that\nis *the patriotic course for him to follow.\n*., Kerensky bos tried a campaign of\neducation, a campaign uf rountcr-\nprollaganda. but it has partially failed\nin its purpose. The pro-German agitator has planted deeply in tho mind\nof the simple Russian peasant soldier\nthe seed of revolt against nil discipline, against all order, although many\nbattalions have stiffened their resistance.\nReluctantly, Kerensky', after several\ntimes having threatened to take sterner measures, has actually done so In\nthe cusp of one of the Russian regiments which deserted its trenches on\nthe Fokshani front. It lias been \"dispersed.\" Loyal Russian troops have\nturned their guns on their fleeing\ncomrades. ,\nKnowing that tin; choice rests between facing the foe honorably if they\nobey orders, and dying dishonorably\nif they listen to the voice of Germany.\nthe simplest of Russian peasants will\nsoon begin to understand that the doctrines of disorder do not work out\nsatisfactorily in practise,\nTHEIR FOLKS AT HOME WONT\nDESERT SOLDIERS\n\"Between a Laurier Liberal candidate and a Borden Conservative candidate, I would vote for the Borden\nman,\" writes Alex Cruickshank, vice-\npresident of the Westminster District\nLiberal association, in a letter to thc\nVancouver Province.

There is an un\nusual stir In our camp today; all, even\nthe Gippy camel drivers in their blue\ngallabeas beside the transport camels,\nwhich are already barracked near the\nbattalion wnter dump, realize that\nsomething big Is in thc air. An orderly\nsergeant turns the officers out of our\nimprovised blvvles constructed from\ntwo waterproof sheets and two pieces\nof sticks. We huve lain all night on\nthe ground fully dressed with our\nequipment beside us. The men rolled\nin a blanket get up and shake oft the\nheavy night dew.

Wo collect in little groups\nand drink water from the fantasslea\nand munch bully and biscuits.\nLong columns of men march off in\nthc dark, everyone anxious after\nweary months of marching across the\nhot; sand of the desert to have his\nchance at last. In the dusk we i\njust make out parallel columns\neither side; they seem endless and\nstretch as far as the eye can see. Territorials, camel corps and Australians,\nall wearing shirt sleeves or serge tunics with drill shorts. The cold and\ndamp chili our bare knees and we ar\nglad to march. Later the sun rises\nwith a red glow; as we pass through\nacres of green barley fields Redout income out In flowing- robes selling eggf-\nand Jaffa oranges nt one piastre each,\nOur horses greedly nibble the young\ncorn after the sands of Sinai. Every\nman has Ills bottle full of precious water and his biscuit and bully ration;\nthis may have to last two days.\nAt last we halt behind a ridge in n\nbeautiful field covered with purple\nanemones, poppies and other flowers.\nOn the sky lino we see the camel corps\nadvancing by thc palm trees In open\nformation\u2014some of the Australians\nwith slouch hats and bare arms and\nsome of our own boys in helmets.\nSuddenly a field gnu booms on the\nleft nnd our first shell falls Into the\nenemy's lines. It gets hotter and as\nthe sun scorches us. we become hotly\nengaged all along lhe line, especially\non the left flank and centre. Those of\nus who are wearing caps are scorched\nby the heat and our lips and tongues\nsoon parch. Close to us behind a ridge\nare our brigade headquarters marked\nby a red pennon; the brigadier is\nstanding watching the progress of the\nbattle. Everyone is wonderfully cool\nand thc men joke and smoke cigarettes\nas the shells burst overhead. Occasionally a great cloud of smoke rises\nas a shell from our monitor strikes\ntbe Turkish redoubt. Our airplanes\nhover over tbe enemy's positions dropping smoke bombs and directing the\nartillery lire.\nCamel Drivers Behave Well.\nAll this time long strings of camels\ncarrying ammunition, rations and precious water stream in our rear. The\nGlppy camel drivers behave splendidly under the Turkish shrapnel lire.\nour own battalion has been fortunate so far. but on the left there is\nfierce lighting.

He urges tho relatives of Canada's -I20,00i) soldiers to show hy thoir\nvotes that thoy will not stand for de-\nsertlon of the men at tho front. Mr.\nCruickshank comments on the western, Liberal convention at Winnipeg\nand suggests that Premier Brewster\nand Hun. John Oliver, who concur In\nthe fuclng-both-ways and Laurler resolution!*, should take heed to tho real\nLiberal sentiment of British Columbia,\nTho letter follows:\nEditor Province\u2014A. R Beck's let\nter lately published in the Provlne\ngives expression to the views of many\nLiberals. 1, like Mr. Beck, have been\na Liberal for 30 years, and I, too, have\nbeen hoping for n union government\nthat would include tho leading men of\nCanada most likely to Cxpedlato the\nsending of men and supplies to prosecute the war.\nWhether or not this riding was represented at Winnipeg I do not know,\nalthough 1 am president of the Liberal\nassociation of the'provinclul riding of\nChllllwack and vice-president of the\nfederal riding of Westminster district,\nand therefore had a right to expect\nnotice that delegates were asked for.\nIt may not have boen mere oversight\nthat prevented the officials from giving me notico. :\nAt tho convention of the Liberals of\nthe new federnl riding of Westminster\ndistrict held at Abbotstord on .luiy 28.\nnothing was known of a call for delegates for tho Winnipeg mooting. The\nconvention at Abbotsford was'tho best\nattended lhat wc hnve ever held hi the\ndistrict, and was absolutely unanimous\nin declaring for unity at this time.\nDonald Downle of Vancouver, who\nmade his appearance at the convention as u delegate from Malllardvillc,\nwas the only man who raised his\nvoice as an apologist for political dis-\nsentlon and he was forced to Insert\nIhe word \"conscription\" In his resolution to gain consideration. There\nwere only two resolutions reported by\ntho committee The first was:\n\"That ln#the opinion of this convention the war silnation is so grave\nthat It Is imperative that political dis-\nsontlon shall cease among wln-the-\nwar Canadians.\" Carried unanimously,\nTho second was:\n\"Thnt IL Is Inadvisable to nominate\na candidate at this convention.\"\nThis resolution was dofeatod against\nthe wish of Mr. Monroe, whom the\nconvention insisted on nominating, Mr.\nMunroe held thou, und I believe still\nholds, that to put a candidate In tho\nfield without com-ailtlng those who are\nwiu-thg-war Canadlanst-uhd nol Lib-\norals, und whom we were inviting to\ncuoperation,-was not plflymg Muvgame.\n1 havo written tho above, because as\nfar as l know, this convention at Abbotsford is tlio only truly representative gathering of Liberals that has\nbeen held recently In the province and\ntbe sentiment was unanimously for\nunion, t believe that similar representative gatherings of Liberals all\nthrough the province would bo found\nto be In accord with tho stand taken\nhy the Abbotsford convention.\n1 submit this for tbe consideration of\nMr. Brewster and Mr. Oliver.\nThe convention of Winnipeg has\nmade clear what that sample of Liberals moan by their war resolution. They\nhuve endorsed Sir Wilfrid Laurier, opponent of conscription and union. This\nhypocrisy must not bo allowed to\ntriumph.\nIn criticising tlio speech of the Vancouvor Sun, Malllardvllle's delegate,\nMr. Downie, at the Abbotsford convention. I slated that If it wore a choice\nbetween a Uuirler Liberal candidate\nand a Borden Conservative candlduto,\nI would vote for tho Borden man. A\ngentleman from MalHardvllle, whose\nname I do nol remember, was even\nmore emphatic, and nol even Mr. Downle voiced exception, although we were\nloudly applauded. It is imperative\nthat Canada shall not abandon our\nboys in France. Day after day wo road\nof men killed who have spent two and\noven threo winters In the trenches, and\nwho have been wounded and gassed\nand sent back again and again lo the\nbell on earth that trench life means,\nto he relieved only by death. It Is the\nsad truth that the men who are voluntarily standing between us and slav\ncry have come to fool that voluntary\nservlco continued In Canada means\nlhat they have nothing short of death\nto look forward to except permanent\ndisablement. The paid leader of his\nmajesty's loyal opposition says ho Is\nfor continuing thfi? condition till the\nwar is brought to a successful eon\nelusion, or tlio last of thorn Is killed\nor disabled. Conscription, never. \"The\nlast man and the last dollar.\"\n1 appreciate the right of the returned soldiers to claim a rest, but there\nis another service that I would asl,t\nthem to undertake. There is no other\norganization so likely lo succeed, and\nwho are beyond question disinterested.\nThoy know the need of reinforcements,\nand we know thai thoy know. 1 ask\nthem to Issue a call to the soldiers'\nfolks at home lo unite in an organized\nbody In every constituency and make\nIt Impossible that any man shall he\nelected who is not pledged to conscription and univn government. Surely\nthe 430,000 enlisted men have a million\nfolks at home who have votes. If thc\nreturned soldiers issue this call to cast\npolitics aside antl come to the rescue\nof their boys in the fighting line who\nlove and trust them, what father\nwould fall to answer It, and meet his\nson unashamed hero and hereafter,\nALEX CltClCKSHANK,\nVice-President Westminster Liberal\nassociation, Clayburn, B. C, Aug. 13,\n1017,\nGERMAN STATE SYSTEM ^\nCritical Survey of Government by\nGerman Professor Arouses the\n\" Wrath of Officials\nThe censorship recently imposed on\nGermany's' leading political organ, the\nFrankfurter Zeltung, debarring it from\ngiving nny expression whatever to Us\nparticular political views, has now\nheen withdrawn, although only tcm->\nporarlly, in consequence of representations in the relchstag. It wus the\nmilitary authorities, it seems,;, who\nwere responsible for tho measure,\nwhich was due to the Frankfurter\nZeituiig'H publication of a series of\narticles by Pro.'.. Max Weber, of\nHeldelburg university, on \"German\nParliamentarism In the Past and\nPresent.\" The whole constitutes a\ncritical survey of the existing system\nof government in Germany, and the\nlust article particularly, while ostensibly holding the system responsible,\ncontains a commentary on the part\nplayed since 1890 by the present head\nor the state himself, which seems finally to have called down the wrath\nof the authorities, The three preceding articles were sufficiently remarkable also, and contain passages of\nconsiderable Interest.\nThe first is entitled \"The Legacy of\nBlHinarok,\" and begins: The present\nsituation of our parliamentary life Is\na legacy of the long rule of Princo\nBismarck In Germany, and of that assumed during the last generation toward his chancellorship. That,attitude finds no parallel in the attitude\nof any other great nation toward a\nstatesman of this magnitude. Nowhere\neiae In the world has such unlimited\nadmiration for the personality of n\npolitician prompted .a proud nntlon to\nsacrifice so unreservedly its own\npolitical convictions.\n.. Political Pigmies\nProceeding to examine the reas'ls\nfor this, Professor Wober attributes it\nto whal lie characterizes as, Bismarck's deliberate reduction of' parliamentary life and political leaders to\nimpotence. There was, he contends,\nplenty of political talent among tho\nvarious German parties of 1867 to 1878,\n'With the result that they by nO means\naccepted Bismarck and his policy\nblindly as a later generation has done.\nFully recognizing his greatness, however, they deliberately refrained, Professor Weber declare.--, from any attempt to overthrow him, with the intention of securing tho consolidation\nof parliamentary prestige when a\nCaesar should no longer dominate the\nscene. Bismarck, however, took advantage of the latitude conceded him\nto sway the very foundations of that\nprestige, and to leave a race of mere\npolitical pigmies behind him, a section of whom, the Conservatives, have\ncultivated- hero-worship of \"the Iron\nChancellor\" nlong lines designed to\nfortify their own particular conception\nof the stato.\nWhat then, writes Professor Weber,\nwas his (Bismarck's) political heritage?

Pershing's staff\nand (he American medical service arrived in Englnnd many weeks ngo,\nEnglishmen \u25a0 and Canadians wero alt\nstruck with the similarity in dress of\nofficers and privates in Uncle Sum's\nforces. I'nlted States officers were\nbcllless and carried nn canes. Their\nrank badges were so inconsclcuous\nand so different from those of the\nBritish soldiers that London papers\nprinted :i table explaining tlie various\ngrades of rank and tlie corresponding\nmodest insignia.\nOf late, however, the American army\nabroad has adopted prominent features of the British dress and nowadays' I anyone can distinguish most.\nAmerican officers Immediately. Most\nof them are wearing Sam Browne belts\nand many curry sticks. All declare\nthemselves pleased witli these additions to their equipment which certainly enhances their neat uniforms\nand stalwart figures. Many Americans\nenvy the British and Caaadians their\nturndown tunic collars and soft\nkhaki collars which spell smartness\nand comfort Indeed. I saw several\nAmericans whose tunics had been obviously altered to this sensible fashion. But nearly all American officers\nare adhering to tlie stiff, white lined\nneckband, though its doom in the\ntrenches is easy to foresee.\nThe British Sum Browne and walking stick for officers have caught nn\nWilli all the allies and commissioned\nranks of lhe entente nations have very\nlargely annexed these smart setoffs to\ntheir uniforms.

C.\nfortune for the nation that, In addition to his wild suspicion of all the\nindividuals who might be regarded as\nhis possible successors, he had* a son\nwhose truly modest statesmanship\nqualities he overestimated to an astonishing extent. Side by side with\nthis we have, merely as a purely negative result of his Immense prestige, an\nutterly impotent parliament; and In\nconsequence a parliament which sunk\nto a very low intellectual level.\nPower With. Bureaucracy\nHaving thus traced to what he considered to be Its source the existing\nsituation in Germany today, Prof.\nWeber goes on to his main theme,\nwhich he summarizes as \"Bureaucracy\nand Political Leadership.\" His argument Is that In the modern state the\nreal power, political as well as administrative, is in the hands of the\nbureaucracy, and that, in consequence\nof the Blsmarckian policy, this is\nspecially so in Germany. Further,\nthai while the present German\nbureaucracy Is admirable as an administrative body, its political leadership\nhas been a complete failure.\nGermany, he writes, lias been ruled\nsince tin* retirement of Prince Bismarck by \"officials\" (in lhe intellectual sense of thc word), because Bismarck swept out of his path every\none with any pretensions of heing a\npolitician. Germnny retained ns before a military and civil bureaucracy\nsuperior in Integrity, education, conscientiousness and intelligence lo nny\nin tlie world.

The kindest thing that\nhas been said ubout it is that \"the\nvictories of the German army have\nvied with its defeats.\" ... It has\nbecome customary to blame German\n\"diplomacy.\" Wrongly so, presumably. On the whole.it hus probubly\nbeen as good ns that of other countries. There has been a confusion of\nIdeas. What hns been lacking is the\nleadership of the state system by a\npolitician\u2014hot by a political genius,\nlor such a thing can be looked for\nonly onco iu a century, nor even by\na man of special political talent, but\nby a professional politician (eln Poll-\ntlker uberhnupt).\nST.v PAUL'S PRESBYTERIANl\nANNUAL\nPicnic\nTo Proctor\nM)nday,Sept.\nLabor Day\nSteamers leave at 8:3<\n1:30.
