} PACES 9- 12 The Baily British Whig ' 12 PACES * YEAR 82,NO., 261 CANADIAN WOMEN ~ HAVE DONE WELL Mister of Marine Reviews What is Accom plished For Empire----Points Out Every Man At Front Has Done His Duty. Toronto, Nov. 10.--Hon. J. D. Ha- zen, minister of marine and fisheries, was the speaker at the Women's Ca- nadian Club yesterday afternoon The speaker was introduced by the president, Mrs. Campbell Meyers, and the Mayor accompanied him to the platform. Mr. Hazen told his audience that though in public life for over thirty years, this was the first occasion on which he had addressed a gathering made up exclusively of ladies. He had first thought telling something of the comservation of the great fisheries of Canada; which are inexhaustible, giving a s¥oply of the best in the world, which could be had at modest prices, and which were raised to their utmost efficiency tarough the arrangements for artifi- cial hatching, or, he might have told them of other interesting divisions of his department, but he would confine of himself to the great part the women | of Canada were taking in the war. He did not think the women in any part of the world had ever done what the women of Canada had done. Six millions had been raised in the De minion for patriotic needs, but it would have been impossible for this to have been accomplished had it not been for the self-sacrifice of the women in every town and village, who had not only helped in its col lection, but they had also looked af- ter its administration. They had investigated and visited homes, see ing that every dependent of a sol dier feceived justice, but at the same time they had in many instances pre- vented fraud from being perpetrat- ed. More than this, not one woman that he had known had sought to prevent her son from going to the front and doing his part, and for their attitude to the cause the women of. Canada were worthy of being ---------- placed with the mothers of Sparta in the niche of fame. No Canadian Cowards. Referring to the late visit of Sir Robert Borden to the overseas troops, Mr. Hazen said that nowhere had there been reported a single case of a Canadian showing the white fea- ther, or fiad any single instance been known in which a Canadian had shown the slightest trace of coward- ice in the face of danger. On the contrary, in every hospital in France the desire was to get better quickly, not to return home, but to be back on the fighting line and in the trenches. Canada was not a military nation, | vet since the war began 100,000 men have been sent acros the sea, and 75,000 dre now preparing to follow {In all an army of 250,000 is in view from Canada, and from a non-mili- tant nation this, Mr. Hazen consider- ed, a feat which speaks volumes for the genius of the country. Mr. Hazen paid a tribute to the work of the men of Australia, New Zeuland and India, as well as to the action of Louis Botha, who to-day is doing his part for the maintenance of the empire : The danger from attack to which even Canada would be subjected were it not rendered immune by the su- | premacy on the seas of the British navy was vividly portrayed by the | minister of marine, who said that some anxious at the outbreak of the war for fear of attacks on Victoria and Vancouver and other points on the Pacific coast. That the "Germans have colonists but no colonies" was explained by the presence of thousands from Germany who had scattered through -other lands for the purpose of influencing public .opinion, when the opportune moment should arrive.

Canada had done her part, but there was much more to do. All could not enlist and every ome must work out for himself whether it was his duty to enlist or do work, also important, at home.

A. here has led an old sub- scriber to show the Whig a copy ot the nominal roll in 1900 in verse of the original ""C" Battery of which Lieut.-Col. J. A. G.

The verses follow: The first is Major Hudon, who is co! onel now I hear; It's a well-deserved promotion he ha: earned for many a year; He fought the Boers at Mafeking and put them to the rout; And as a Commander of the Bath he| soon may swagger out!

CO, [OILERS IN BRITAIN EARN MORE AND SPEND MORE THAN BEFORE, Paish Sounds Warning---Finance Ex- pert Declares Money Squandered On All Sides--Drives Home Need For Economy. London, Nov. 10.--How complete- ly the war has baffled the foresight of economic experts is shown by the remarkable wave of surface prosper ity which the masses of Great Britain are experiencing. Only a little more than a year ago political economists were discussing seriously the meed for organizing | public works on a great scale for the tens of thousands who would be thrown out of employment. Now fin- anciers like: Sir George Paish, editor of the Economjst, and Edwin Monta- gu, the Financial Secretary of the Treasury, are sounding strong warn- living of the nation as a whole. "Money is being squandered on all sides," declared Sir George Paish in a recent speech, and the newspapers are taking up the same cry. The conditions which the war has developped havé settled the problem of public works on lines which appar- ently were not foreseen. The enor- mous increase of the British army to three million men, and the demand for workers in the public and private munitions works, has absorbed all the available manhood of the coun- try procurable on a basis of volunt- ary service, and given a great sur plus of employment to the United States, ---- Spend Money Lavishly, Money is being discharged freely, | and even lavishly and 'extravagantly to, contractors and to workingmen, and for the support of the families of i soldiers, according to the ecomo- mists, and it is being spent by the people at large with equal lavishness and, extravagance. These conditions cause excited de- Monrve selected to lead the British troops at the Dardanelles following General Hamilton's recall | ing the War Office, London, just before-the ge » and Lady Monroe leav- neral left for Gallipoli. a ty bate by all classes In the enormous redistribution of wealth the general drift would appeal to be from the hands of the rich and the middle classes into the pockets of the work- ingmen and the families of soldiers. While the workers furnish a ma- jority of .the men under arms, the people with large estates and 'those whose savings and middle class in- comes believe that they furnish, through taxation and war loans, the bulk «f the money which-is carrying on the war, and which finds its way down through the Gévernment and contracnors to the small merchants and workmen - This results in the éfforcement of unusual economy upon the wealthy and the middle classes (except those concerned "in war work: xhe. ar many, and encourages ynusually free spending in the stratum usvally most economical. | Popular Resorts Prospering. While the Covent Garden Opera has been suspended during the war time, the theaters of the masses and the picture shows are prospering. The hotels and restaurants supported by the wealthy pass their dividends; the popular resorts are doing good busi- ness, Tailors and fashionable dressmak- ers claim to be suffering great de- pression, but the wives and daugh- ters of workingmen are dressed bet- ter than ever before im their lives. Wine merchants are putting up their shutters, but the public houses where beer and gin are consumed are crowded. J Mr. Montagu complained of great spending on luxuries, and cited the fact that the sale of pianos has 'in- creased. He called upon every eiti- zen to be prepared to put at least one half his current income at the dispos- al of the state. The wealthy classes of England would not agree that the luxury and extravagance charge is practiced by sthem. No observer could fail to #edit them with accept- ing the enormous war taxes imposed upon incomes with a remarkable pa- triotism and resignation. -- and the Worst is Yet to Come.

Rodolphe Lemieux -Says it is a Family Quarrel--Liberals And Nationalists far Apart As Poles---Lavergne's At- tack on Blondin. Ottawa, Nov. 10.--The statement made in the report sent out by the Canadian Press that the St. Stanislas, Que., meeting addressed by Armand Lavergne and other Nationalists was | held under Liberal auspices is indig- nantly denied at Liberal headquar- ters here. The meeting was purely a Nationalist one, and not a single Liberal was invited to attend or speak. The campaign of the Nationalists without the change of a single syl- lable. We are a unit in favor of Can- adian participation, we are loyal to Great Britain and believe that when our mother country is at war Canada is at war."The French.

Mr. Blondin, who wanted to shoot holes in the British flag in order to breathe the air of freedom, and of the other Tory- Nationalists who were opposed to the navy and to the Liberal policy the Nationalist Press and speakers ------ because of his Imperialism Col. Lavergne's frank statement yesterday that both he and Mr. Bour- assa were offered portfolios in the! Borden Government when the Min istry was being formed is naturally decidedly disconcerting to- the Prime Minister now, Col. Lavergne's statement is, however, unrefuted, nor has his recent anti-recruiting letter to Sir Sam Hughes brought forth any Ministerial criticism. | Quarrel Is a Family One. Mr. Lemieux also gave the lie di- rect to the reports that Liberals had opposed the Nationalist Ministers who were recently taken into the Borden Cabinet as .good Conserva- tives. "The Hon. Louis Coderre," said he, "was opposed by Tancrede Marcil, a Nationalist leader, a man who ran against Hon. Charles Mar- cil in 1911. Doyon, who spoke yes- terday at St. Stanislas, was a Nat- ionalist candidate against Patenaude. I have to repeat that the quarrel is a family one, it is a row between those who swallowed what principles they possessed four years ago and those that stuck to their guns. The Tory-Nationalist party in this pro- vince are washing their dirty linen in public." Mr. Lemieux is in a good position to speak in regard to the resentment of the Nationalists, as he has been in all parts of, the province holding meetings. He has addressed upwards Fight Between "Ins And Outs." Montreal, Nov.710.--*"It is a fam- | ily quarrel pure and simple, a strug-! gle between the ins and outs," de-| clared Hon.
