MAY CARRY OUT ADVICE GIVEN BY PARDEE To Make Vigorous Effort to Recruit Required Number By Voluntary System. (Special ta the Whig.) Ottawa, June 22.--There is an im- préssion this morning that the Gov- ernment is considering accepting the dvice tendered to it at the conclus- on of Fred. Pardee's earnest utter- ances yesterday. Mr. Pardee serious- ly advised the Government to pre- cede the enforcement of the conserip- 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, Liberal, against the Laurier amendment; W. F. Cockshutt, Conservative, for the bill; Manley German, Liberal for the referendum amendment; Col. Jantes Arthurs, Conservative pember, 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. Michael Clark has a strong anti-re- ferendum speech almost ready, but will probably keep it for Monday. Was Badly Hurt. Athens, June 22 ---Miss Belle Yates, who resides herve with her brother, M.

There were messages from the King and Queen, by the Bishop of Stepney, conduect- ed the services in the church, which was a bower of flowers, sent by children from ail parts of the coun- try.

PROPAGANDA CONDEMNED. South African Assembly is Against Republicandsm. Cape Town, June 22.--The House of Assembly by a vote of 72 to 31 passed a resolution condemning the republican propaganada which is be- ing carried on in South Africa.

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 unanhhously asked Great Britain for independence.

AS WELL AS SPARTAN TRAINING IS THE EXPERIENCE, The Members of the "Command of Death" Are From Righteen 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- mauder 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-revolutionary 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 1 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 onlf the Volynsky regiment, which had: led the Petrograd revolu- tion, was really favorable to them.
