Toronto, April 19.--The returns received by the Dominion Alliance up to midday show a sweeping "dry" victory. Almost every county in the province has given a "Yes" majority and thirteen of the twenty-four cities of the province have voted to prohib. it the importation of liquor, The ag- gregate majority so far compiled is | about 140,000, and according to Rev, Ben H. Spence, secretary of the Alli- ance, will reach or exceed 200,000, when the returns are all in. Incomplete returns for Toronto show a "wet" majority of approxi- mately 6,387. Not Before July 1st. Ottawa, April 19.--That unless an exceptional haste was shown by the Ontario returning officers in for- + warding the official returns it would | be nearly two months before an or- | giving effect to the | der-in-council bone-dry vote of yesterday could be passed, was the opinion expressed this morning by the department of state officials. In.any event Ontario cannot be actually "bone dry' before July first at the earliest, An Interesting Analysis, Toronto, April 19.--The Mail-Em- pire says: From what can be learned from the incompléte figures available, On- tario saw a fairly marked ¢léavage of opinion between Old Ontario and the.nosthern districts. Three of the cities going wet were in the north, while the wets in practically every n, village and rural copstituency heard from last night in that section of newer Ontario north of a line drawn from Ottawa to Sault Ste. Ma- rie, doubled or trebled the dry votes. Apart from the Northern Ontario districts, there were two other sec- tions of the province which appeared to be clinging firmly to the belfet that importation of liquors should be DRURY WOULD JUNP AT CHANCE OF COALITION In Order to Get Rid of Weak : Cabinet Ma- terial. (Special to the Whig.) Toronto, April 19.--Cabinet chan- &es are imperative if Premier Drury is to carry on. Everyone admits the "lame ducks" must be dropped. The big "No" vote is a political mile- stone and good politicians will not ignore the even chances there are for good leadership. A couple of weeks ago we gave Whig readers the names of the ministers too weak to even take care of the house debates. For a whole afternoon lands and forests 'Wag a storm centre, but not once did the minister (Bowman) rise to his feet, Others had to defend the de- partment, Ministers soon lose pres-| tige when this happens. The Toronto Telegram in a leading 'article now gives the names we gave--Raney, Bowman, Grant and Mills. These men have not made good. Raney ha= no political prescience either outside or inside the house! is often wrong and ignores or disregards the ameni- tes of debate or custom and provokes the opposition unnecessarily. Drury would jump at the chance of 8 coalition under which he could get some good men like Tolmie, of Wind- sor. He lost his best bet her bo did not offer McBride, of Bfantford, the labor leadership. Impartially we can say that both Dewart and Ferguson bave Improved this session ,and have got about all there was in the game out of it keeping in mind always that one or the other will evidently suc- ceed Drury. The U.F.0. have been exceptionally unfortunate in the breaks of the game which have been against then: both ibside and outside the house. Buying United States trucks was un- necessary and unwise as good Cana- dian-made trucks are actually stand- Ig up better than these foreign- p trucks, The Spracklin, the Dunnville and the timber probe ai- fairs did not pan out anything bu' sour grapes, while the fight over Jit of appeal in O.T.A. cases is so a draw, The rank and file of the U.F.0. member are discouraged and dis- ted and one has only to men- tion eoal scuttles or trucks to get an explosion.

The Globe Says: It is estimated | that about 50 per cent of the avail- | able vote was polled. It is probable | that the total number of people exer- |cising the right to decide on the | question of prohibition was not more | than 700,000. This is about the pro- portion that usually turns out to vote, but having regard to the Issue involved cannot be regarded as en- | tirely satisfactory, Undoubtedly the state of the roads in the country had something to do with people not getting out. Satur- day's rain and Sunday's snow made the roads in many places almost 1m- passable, and some sections were ver- itable quagmires. But those who had the cause at heart were determined that neither weather, roads nor in- convenience should deter them from their duty. These were mostly the women of the country, determined in purpose and inspired with the pros- pect of achievement, In the village of Verner, in the dis- trict of Nipissing, 253 votes were polled altogether, and of these 253 were '"'wet." such things in a falling market, and have not to say the least made money while there are many reports of losses, ' Sir Sam Hughes Improving.

The remedy was establishment of a committee such as had been estab- lished py the British House--a com- mittee Which @"made enormous savings whe mother country. Sir Henry Drayton, minister of fin- ance, agreed on the necessity for eco- nomy, but held that it was difficul: to arrive at a definite conclusion re- gyrding the British committee, since that committee had ceased to func- tion. And Sir George Foster pressed the point that for such a committee as the one proposed really to study. the estimates, it would be necessary for it to sit before session. It was doubtful if this was practicable, and members of the committee would thus find themselves in an unknown country. Mr. Lemieux withdrew his resolu- tion, CANADIAN WAR MISSION OFFICE NOW CLOSED But Does Not Affect Appoint- ment of Canadian Minis- ter to U.S, Ottawa, April 19.--That the Cana- dian War Mission Office in Washing- | ton had been closed but that this did not affect the government's policy in the appointment of & Canadian min- ister to the U.S., was stated yester- day by Sir George E. Foster, Minister ef Trade and Commerce, Sir George said that the Canadian War Mission to Washington was distinctly a war work, but thatthe office had been kept open in order to close up affairs rising out of the war. The closing of this office had no significance in re- lation to this country's policy toward | committee and the dominion alliance the U.S. Another change stated by Sir George was that the Canadian Publi- city office in New York, which was administered by Col. John A. Cooper under the Department of External Affairs, had been taken over by the Department of Trade and Commerce, Sir George would not say what the intentions were with regard to this office, but said, however, that his de- partment was investizating its possi- bilities.

Sir S8am's Name, Shares Same Fate. ------ Ottawa, April 19.--When notices of motion wera called in the com- mons yesterday afternoon, the speak- er announced that the resolution standing in the name of Sir Sam Hughes, expressing the satisfaction of the hous» in the manner in which Major Hir nd Captain McCauley had carried «i their duties in con- nection with the famous Guelph no- vitiate raid had been dropped from the paper. The same fate befell Sir Sam's resolution asking the house to declare that the time had arrived for the formation of an empire parlia- ment. ? This action is taken to indicate that Sir Sam does not expect to re- turn to the house during he present session. ------ Engineer F.

That is practically what occurred, as there were twelve of the larger cities which declared in favor of continued importation, while the smaller cities and the bulk of towns, villages and rural municipali- ties gave overwhelming votes in fa- vor of strict prohibition.

KINGSTON IN WET COLUMN Result Here Was Quite a Surprise----Vote of the Women | Thought To Have Broken Even--Students Vote Dry And Soldiers Wet. Kingston took a leading place in tke "wet" column on Monday. By a [ vote of 5,479 to 4,215, it registered | itself In favor of continuing the im- | portation of liquor into Ontario. The | size of the majority was a surprise | to both sides, as the Citizens' Liberty { League had not figured upon more | than 500 or 600 at the most. The | general view was that the vote here | would break about even in view of the vigorous campaign conducted by the anti-prohibitionists and bear- ing in mind the vote in the last ref- erendum, which was strongly dry. It was generally conceded that the vote | of the women would carry the day { | everywhere, but in Kingston it would | appear as if the woman vote could not at best have broken more than even, The wets claim that the wom- len who voted No outnumbered those | who marked their ballots Yes. And | there you are, Nobody knows defi- | mitely, so a fifty-fifty break may be | accepted. | A Study of the Wards. | Cataraqui ward turned in the big- | gest wet majority, the tally there be- ing 1022 to 235. This ward will surely receive the Citizens' Liberty League for Moderation medal for the showing it made on the 18th of April. Next in order of merit in the wet column came Sydenham ward with the loud voice of 524 noes to 233 ayes, St. Lawrence, the business ward, showed up with a 175 No to 68 Yes vote. Frontenac turned in a 500 clared itself for importation with a total of 252 to 145, Rideau and Vie- toria, the uptown and west end dwell- ing sections, alone went into the dry column, but not as strongly as the prohibitionists had hoped. Ridean ward disappointed the leaders of the drys, as at least 500 majority instead of 250 was expected through that section, The Queen's University polis pleased the prohibitionists greatly, as they showed the students voting dry by 308 to 81.

The Results Announced As it was 6 o'clock before the polls closed, the final result of the city vote was not known until after § o'clock. From the beginning it was seen that the tide was going against the prohibitionists, and the wet majority mounted up by the hun- dreds. When the Barriefield poll in Kingston township reported a vote of 210 to 61 for the wet column, the prohibitionists began to feel blue, but soon afterwards the returns from the province began to come in, and from the start they indicated that the drys had earried the day, although some of the cities had voted wet. There was great jubilation at the prohibi- tion headquarters in the Y. M, C_ A. building when it was known that the Toronto vote was likely to break even, and that the wets had failed to carry the Queen City of Ontario by anything like the majority they expected. Without a tremendous majority in Toronto, the cause of the wets was lost, for cities like Ottawa, Hamilton, Windsor, Kingston, and the lesser fry could not pile up im- portation majorities sufficient to overcome the dry vote of the rest of the province. The Whig Bulletins. The bulleting telling the story of {the day's voting were displayed at the Whig windows all evening and were watched with interest by a large crowd. At 10 o'clock, when a dry majority of 50,000 was announced, and with the assurance that this te- tal would probably be doubled by morning, the people began to wend their way homeward, the wets rejolc- ing that Kingston at least had done its duty to their way of thinking, and the drys thankful that Toronto and the province at large had different views upon the subject of liquor im- portation from those of the limestone city. .

Paris, April 19.--Twenty thousand bodies of American soldiers who fell in France have either been shipped to the United States or are now in. process of being returned for burial = in their native country. 3 With 102 officers of the American / army and a personnel of more than 2,000 men working night and day ia many sections of France, the graves registration service of the American - army has reached a point where it is possible to forward 4,000 bodies a month. The work of sending back the 52,311 bodies designated for ime' terment in America will be complet- ed by the end of next October, if" present plans are fulfilled. 3 The bodies of the Americans have . been taken from every cemetery im the south of France. The greater part of the effort is now being concentrate ed in the zone of the armics--the Argonne eic. Seventy-seven, bodies of American soldiers who died in Italy will be removed to the United States next month. . : The graves registration servie now is working in Berlin on ar rangements for shipping the bodies of 30 American soldiers who are bur. ied in various parts of nnoccupied" Germany. This latter work was rendered very difficult becauss th location of many of the graves was unknown. An expert has been going over the = German burial records in Berlin for several weeks and virtually all the graves have been found. The German government has afforded every facil ity to the graves registration se : More than 20,000 bodies will be buried in the four permanent come . teries which the American govern ment will maintain in France. p Mrs. C.
