SERGE ACT MUST STAR IS ANSWER GIVEN BY LAURIER TO QUEBEC. The Liberal Leader Opposed to the Suggestion That the Conscription Measure Should be Rescinded. Ottawa, Oct. 8.--The Ottawa Citizen publishes editorially the following upon the Lib eral leader's stand: "The Citizen does not pretend to be in the confidence of the Liberal party any more than it can claim to the depository of the political Conservative organi. zation, that the political situation as it exists at pre- sent obscured for purely partizan purposes, and that the at- titude Wilfrid Laurier is be- misrepresented in the adminis- The following ex cerpt from a local journal may suf- to illustrate the partizan view of the Liberat In proffering his resignation as leader of his party at this june- ture "The Ottawa organ of the Gov ernment says: 'Sir Wilfrid Laur comment be secrets of the but it .is obvious is being of Sir n press, f ice leade: fer's resignation comes as the climax |. of three weeks of Liberal negotia tions and conferences.

' Positions Not Related, The Citizen continues: '"The met. ter of a union government is, how- ever, not related in any way to the position assumed by Sir Wilfrid. The facts are that the Quebec wing of the Liberal party insists upon the leader agreeing to rescind the con- scription measure and to make this promise to the Quebec element be- fore the election. With anti-con, seription as a war ery the province, this element asserts, could be swept for the Liberals. But Sir Wilfrid has, according to the best informa- tion, absolutely refused to agree to this proposition. He takes the stand that conscription is now the law of the land, that it must be obeyed and that, come what may, it must stand on the statute books as far as the calling to the colors of the required 100,000 men is con- cerned.

WIE OF THE DEPUTES | TO SEVER RELATIONS TO 23, WAS 74 The President Has Received Author. ity to Revoke the Uruguayan De- cress of Neutrality When He Deems It N A Montevideo, Uruguay, Oct. 9.-- Uruguay has severed diplomatic and commercial relations with Germany and sent passports to the German minister. = Action was taken after President Viera, in a message to par- lament, declared the time had come for Uruguay to enroll herself "in the league of honor mentioned by Presi- dent Wilson." President Viera declared that the Uruguayan government had not re- ceived any direct offence from Ger- many, but that it was necessary to espouse the cause of the defenders of justice, democracy and small na- tionalities and to conform its honest, passionless policy unaffected b¥ "any question of material interest. The president algo received author- ity from parliament to revoke the Uruguayan decrees of neutrality whenever he deems it necessary. The vote in favor of the severance of relations by the chamber of de- puties was 74 to 23. Tlye presidential decree, besides providing that his passports be handed to the German minister, rheumatism is so much hatter that I can hardly tell I ever had it. All the pain and stiffness has gone out of my joints and I'm feeling altogether like | a different man. I couldn't ask for a better appetite. I'm not troubled with indigestion any more and it oo!

Chown, ! law as it stands will be respected and obeyed in Quebec will Sir Wil frid retain the leadership. This ultimatum of the Liberal leader has brought about the present crisis in the fortunes of that party. It is not related fn any way to the ap- pointment of certain nominal Libe. rals to office in the present admini- stration, and has no reference whatever to union government. If the Quebec Liberals fall into line Sir Wilfrid will continue as leader; if not, he will abdicate. "The public will be interested in knowing the facts. Sir Wilfrid must be given credit for loyalty to his convictions and respect 'for the law of the land. His position in this matter must immeasurably in- crease his influence in all parts of the Dominion outside the Province of Quebec, and even in that part of the country his stand must en. title him to the respect, if not the support, of the anti-conscription element. The Citizen has differed with Sir Wilfrid's view of the con. scription measure, but recognizes that in the present instance he is showing himself above party in. fluénces and that he is prepared to leave political life rather than pre- cipitate confusion, if not worse, in this pountry by an abuse of power."

Queen's Staff and Students Paid Their Last Tribute. With quiet and impressive solem. nity amid the deepening shadows of Convocation Hall at Queen's University the last sad rites for the dead were conducted over the re- mains of the late Prof. A. E. Codd ternoon. Professors. and. .students attend- ed to pay their last respects to a departed colleague and teacher whose presence has been sorely missed in the university halls for over a year. As a scholar and in. structor the late Prof. Codd was sympathetic and eager, and at no time was he more happy than when he was discoursing to a class on the beauties and humor of Vergil's Georgics or on some other theme of Latin literature. He caught the spirit of the classiés and understood their inner nature. Principal Gordon spoke glowing. ly of the accomplishments of the de- ceased, and mourned with the rest of the university nis demise. "His devotion to his chosen work," said the principal, "secured for him mastery as a teacher, and his geniality and co-operative spirit which he displayed among his col- leagues gave him a growing influ- ence which was cut off all too short. The uaiversity was grieved to learn of the weakness which cused him to relinquish his duties.4nd it still more deeply grieved to learn of his death."
