Maurice, chief digector of miki- tary operations at the War Office in his weekly statement yesterday gave a flat contradiction to reports that have been current that the Germans have drawn large [forces from the eastern fromt to take part in the fighting in France. "The fact is," added the general, "that there has been no considerable movement of German troops from the east to the west. The Germans have gent fresh units to the western front, hut these were made up large- ly of men called to the colors re- cently.

(Special to the Whig.) Ottawa, June 22.---There is an im- pression this morning that the Gov- ernment is considering accepting the advice tendered to it at the conclus- ion of Fred. Pardee's earnest utter- ances yesterday. Mr. Pardee serious- ly advised the Government to pre- cede the enforcement of the conscrip- tion bill by a last great and serious effort to secure the required number of men by means of the voluntary system, He declared it to be his opinion that if such a campaign were faunched with the conscientious co- operation of Canadians of all classes, parties and provinces, Canadian pa- triotism would make the actual em- forcement of compulsion unnecessary, To-day's order on the conscription debate will probably be as follows: Hon. George P. Graham, LSberal, against the Laurier amendment; W. F. Cockshutt, Conservative, for the bill; Manley German, Liberal for the publishers of soks amd magazines | referendum amendment; Col. Janes Arthurs, Conservative member, who "went over" at Vimy, for the bill; E. W. Nesbitt, Liberal, for the bill and probably against the amendment, though he made no announcement.

Mr. Pardee Gives the Government Some Advice--Give Canadian Man- ~hood a Chance to Come Forward and Enlist Voluntarily, Ottawa, June 22.--'"Do the people of Canada realize to-day that they are enjoying the greatest measure of freedom a do they realiz¢ that if Germany wins they will lose that freedom?" asked F. F. Pardee, chief Liberal whip, in resuming the debate on the 'Military Service Aet, 1917, in the Commons yesterday, during. which he stated he would support the Government. Coming to the question of the Laurier amendment, Mr. Pardee said he found himself politically in the most painful position of his life. "I have followed Sir Wilfrid ever since I knew enough to be a Liberal. I realize that among Imperial states- men he stands high and pre-emin- ent, I know that he has swayed the destinies of the country for 15 years wisely and well. It may seem pre- sumptuous on my part to differ with him, but I cannot bring myself to vote for his amendment. In taking this ground I maintain that the conhvic- tion of my friends with whom I differ are as honestly held as my own. People Want to be Led. "The reason why I am not in favor of a referendum is that I believe the Government having declared that conscription would never come into force and having thrown into the po- litical boiling pot this great and im- portant question-without having done anything at all to educate the people, I believe that in these circumstances a referendum would be defeated and the doors closed for all time to re- cruiting. I believe the people of Canada to-day are asking to be led and not to do the leading." . " "Mistakes have been made. There has been lack of recruiting leader- ship. There have been blunders and lethargy in organizations. And I am sorry to say there has been the strongest sort of partizanship. We have not raised ourselves by our boot straps. An I wish to say here that the people will expect. of a Govern- ment which takes the responsibility of conscripting men, a consecration of it- self to the highest ideals of public seryice. And I want to say that the people will not be satisfied if we spill the blood of youth and are afraid to spill the wealth of the rich man. Go where you will and you will find ' | abundance of wealth. An the men at the front are protecting that wealth, though it gives them nothing." Another Voluntary Effort. The Prime Minister had asked for suggestions. "I will give him some," said Mr. Pardee. I would humbly suggest that he precede the opera- tion of the bill by a last big and sin- gére effort to induce young Canadian manhood to come forward voluntar- fly. Under direct and real leadership and with the co-operation of all par- ties and all Provinces, I yet believe that Canadian patriotism would make up the complement necessary. Such a campaign sincerely carried on would, I verily believe, result in the coming forward of the 100,0000 men without need of compulsion. What I say is ui Hos sincere conviction."

Buffalo, N.Y., June 22.--A ghast- ly sight met the gaze of little Ste- phen Maxim, aged 10, as he return- ed from school yesterday afternoon. In a bedroom lay the body of his father, Bert Maxim, 32, a night in- spector at the Pierce Arrow plant. 'His head had been severed from the body with an axe, which stood in one corner of-the room.

Paris, June 22.--General de la Croix published in the Temps the results of his study, supposedly from authorative sources, of the present number of German reserves. He estimates that the grand total of German troops of all kinds and classes up to June lst reached 13.- 130,000, and that this total was de- pleted by losses through wounds and 1,130,000 resident in foreign coun- tries. : General de la Croix estimated that of the balance nearly 5,500,000 are empjoyed as first line, rear line, and interior troops, leaving a movable balance reserves of about 755,000, of which 220,000 are attached to front depots, 355,000 in - interior depots, and 180,000 in process of formation. This number wil be increased in November by 450,000 of the class of 1919.. These troops will not, however, be available be- fore that for any service, any more than those in formation. : On this basis General de la Croix figures that Germany has 575,000 re- serves with which to cover her losses until November, or 115,000 a month, plus 85,000 monthly of those who recover from their wounds, a grand total of 200,000 a month, The general points out that German losses in April and May have been at least 300,000 monthly, making a debit balance, which, he says, has been met by a shortening of the Ger- man front and fewer aitacks, The absence of reserves has caused he claims, an obvious shift from the old tactics of the German - general staff. | FOE'S MAN-POWER War Tidings.

There were messages from the King and Queen, while the Bishop of London, assisted by the Bishop of Stepney, conduct- ed the services in the church, which was a bower of flowers, sent by children from all parts of the coun- Most of the floral offerings con- tained perfunctory words of sym- pathy, but others did not mince matters.

Cape Town, June 22.--The House of Assembly by a vote of 72 to 31 »d 'a resolution condemning the republican propaganada which is be- ing carried on in South Africa. The movement was referred to in the re- solution as being fostered by the ex- treme Nationalists among the Dutch farmers. General Henrtzog, leader of the Nationalists, said during the debate that while theoretically a republi- can, he did not adovate a republic to-day, because he realized that the only hope to make a republic a suc- cess would be when all sections of the country unanimously asked Great Britain for independence.

SINE RIGD DISCIPLE AS WELL AS SPARTAN TRAINING IS THE EXPERIENCE, The Members of the "Command of Death" Are From Eighteen to Twenty-five Years of Age--The Women Hope to Excel the Male Fighters, Petrograd, June 22 ----The "Com- mand of Death," which is the official title of the women's regiment raised by the twice wounded girl officer Vera Buitchkareff, was reviewed to- day by Minister of War Kerensky. The regiment will leave in a fort- night for the front, probably for the Minsk sector. The Associated Press correspondent who visited the barracks found post- ed at the gate a little blue eyed sen- try in a soldier's khaki blouse, short breeches, green forage cap, ordinary women's black stockings and neat shoes. The sentry was a daughter of Admiral Skrydloff, former com- mander of the Baltic fleet and Min- ister of Marine. In the courtyard 300 girls were at drill, mostly be- tween 18 and 25 years old, of good physique and many of them pretty. They wore their hair short or had their heads entirely shaved. They were drilling under the instruction of a male sergeant. Most of the recruits are from the higher educational aca- demies or secondary schools, with a few peasants, factory girls and ser- vants. Some married women were ac- cepted, but none who had children. The girl commander said: "We ap- ply the rigid system of discipline of the pre-revolutiondary army, rejecting the new principle of soldier self-gov- ernment. Having no time to inure the girls gradually to the hardships we impose a Spartan regime from the first. They sleep on boards without bedclothes, thus immediately elimin- ating the weak. The smallest breach of discipline is punished by expul- sion in disgrace. The ordinary sol- diers' food is furnished. We rise at four and drill daily from 7 to 11 and again from I to 6. The girls carry the cavalry carbine, which is five pounds lighter than the regular army rifle. "We are fully official and are al- ready entered on the list of regi- ments. I am convinced that we will excel the male fighters. Asked as to the attitude of the male army, Commander Buitchkareff said that onl# the Volynsky regiment, which had led the Petrograd revolu- tion, was really favorable to them: Expel Aliens From Orders, London, June 22.---Chancellor Bonar Law, the Government leader in the House of Commons, announced in the House to-day that orders had been issued that all enemy aliens should cease to be members of any Britieh order of chivalry to which they belonged before the outbreak of the war.
