To understand this it is ne- cessary to keep in mind the leading new factors in the case. The chief factor is the presence of that great neutral state, the United States, which, though outside the conflict, stands an ever watchful observer, a leading witness in the case, whose opinion can never be overlooked for a moment. All the belligerents realize that great moral motives con- tinue to determine America's attitude and will alone guide her actions. Progress of Scieace. "Besides this dominating factor is a new one, due to the progress of science and equally unparaileled in history.

Londcy, Jan. 18.--If peace comes within a few months Great Britain will welcome it. If it is to be put off for another year or even longer, she will not falter. England is determ- ined to see the war through to a vic- torious end. This is the decision of the triumvi- rate (Lloyd George, Milner and Cur- gon) which now governs Britain, whose power is béyond danger from any.cause that can now be imagined. Nothing éhort of an acknowledgment that war does not pay will satisfy this triumvirate, and it must always be remethbered that th» triumvirate has the tinal decision, no matter what other people may say or do. A presage of the renewed vigor with which the three have decided to push the war came to-day in the an- nouncement of the great war council which has been gathered here. Lloyd George and his war cabinet of five have spent Monday and Tuesday in conference with Gen. Nivelle, the French commander-in-chief, and Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig, commander-in-chief of the British forces in France. What other =ol- diers have joined in the council is not known.

Burnett, who enlist- ed with the 34th Battalion, being the fortunate man. He came home some time ago after having spent several months in overseas hospitals, suffer- ing from a severe wound in the neck. He lost his power of speech complete- ly, and since his return to London, had been able to articulate a whisper only occasionally. It was concluded that shrapnel had lodged in his throat and had paralyzed him for life,, and his affliction made it impossible for him to secure an ordinary position. A few days ago he was given em- ployment at the Byron Sanitarium, where work is being rushed forward | on thee 1ditional building for return- | ed soldiers.

DEALERS CLAIM TO BE LOSINB MONEY Unable to Sell Turkeys at More Than 28 Cents Per Pound. Toronto, Jan., 18.---Householders have for months been suffering from the high price of foodstuffs, and now produce dealers are suffering be- cause of a drop in prices. "Some of the biggest dealers in Toronto and Hamilton, it is said, have lost thou- sands of dollars recently. The cause is attributed to the fact that the United States buyer is tak- ing the necessities of life right away from the door of the consumer. Last fall buyers from big concerns in New York went through Canada bidding against Canadian buyers, with the re-| sult that prices soared. Locally to-day dealers have hun- dreds of dollars' worth of turkeys on hand, for which they cannot realize more than twenty-eight cents per pound wholesale. This is due to the fact that the local Housewive League declared a boycott on turkeys selling at a figure higher than twenty- eight cents a pound. COL. BRUCE TO FRANCE. He Will Not Return to Canada For Present. Toronto, Jan. 18.--Col. Robert Bruce, though resigned from the C. A, M. 8S. C., will not return to Can- ada, says a London cablé to the Ev- ening Telegram.

New York, Jan. 18.--Frank A.

EXTENSION OF THE TERM WILL BE ONE OF THE MOST IM- PORTANT ISSUES. There is Room for Retrenchment and Economy in the Government's Ex- penditures, Which Show No Signs of Reduction. Ottawa, Jan, 18.--The opening of and probably the last of the present Parliament finds the political at | capital and throughout the country | decidedly tense and "electrical."

At the first session, | they state, the Government will hurry | through the business of the fiscal year {in order to enable Sir Robert Borden {to attefid the Imperial Conference in |England. On Sir Robert's return, it is suggested, there will be another session, at which the Premier will {announce the results of his visit to | England, and at which the railway | problem will be dealt with.

The question of decid- ing upon extension would then be postyoned wuyntil his return As a matter of fact the Government can- ! not very well insist upon an immedi ate demision. With ten months still. ito run the Governor-General would scarcely consent to a dissolution un- til the business of the country for the coming fiscal year has been dis- posed of. Moreover, fjr Robert must attend the Imperial Conference, and . he could not very well represent the Dominion of Canada if Parliament were dissolved, since dissolution it- | self would presuppose differences be- | tween the Government party and the | Opposition. | Upon Sir Robert's return, probably in May, Parliament will likely again | assemble immediately. The Prime | Minister will acquaint the country { with the results of the conferences, | hinting probably at confidential mat- tters which he is not permitied to divulge. He will outline some' policy | which his Government is ready to i pursue, and will urge that extension {be granted in order that that policy | may be carried out. i i Room for Retrenchment., | There is room for retrenchment {and economy in the Government's | expenditures, which have shown {little signs of reduction since the {war commenced.
