Musical vvv â€"‘ As soon as everything was in readiness the big procession moved off to the strains of the martial music furnished by the Regimental Band. A glance at the recruits showed them to be a fine body of men, capable in every way of up- holding the cause for which Can- ada’s herioc sons are willing to fight and die. There were about 145 of them and a jovial lot of fellows at that. The liilleting arrangements had been so careâ€" fully looked after that all the men were assigned to boarding houses and were permitted to go to their places of accomodation immediateâ€" 13’ after being dismissed at the town hall. Both sides of Second Avenue were thronged with people during the parade. The crowds in some places were so great that it was necessary to elbow your way in order to get along. Many of the stores were appmpriately decora- ted with Union Jacks, hunting and other emblems of loyalty, while a string of automobiles formed an attractive feature of the reception.

Women waved pocket handkerchieis and lmen lifted their hats in salutation or the brave fellows who have come to train for service for their king and. country. It was the outward and visible sign at the town’s tribute of praise ior men willing to leave 'home and friends and all that was near and dear to them for the purpose of upholding the honor and traditions of the British race. Nor was the cheering confined to the assembled citizens. As the outside recruits were assigned a place between A and B.

But_ the troop '8 l‘ is a grave step backwards from tree democracy to autocratic mili- tarism. {or it tormerly deprive. th people of their liberty of min and will-their power to decide the justice or the injustice at a war. The second is that it makes a lor- midable, and, maybe an irreparable breach in the existing unity of the nation. The workman can never ’assent to conscription, for he will 'view it as an instrument for mak-- ing strikes impossible, and will at? once advance his alternative of a conscription of wealth. The third is that it cannot, in the very crisis {of a great war, be grafted to- the voluntary system on iwhich the {large majority of the ‘armiee are 1 < slackers to special battalions un- der an obvious mark of dishnmr or to draft them dnto the. free battalions, only for these leavings to be the scorn of their brother soldiers. It would give rise to many personal injustices, such as the escape of well to do married men without children as against the. enrollment of poor unmarried men supporting a parent. 3‘70 such unequal plan of conscrxptlon has ever been drafted, or cvpr could be drafted. Therefore the? whole odium and peril of conscrip- tionâ€"the division of the nation in- to two camps, the risk of strike arising from hard cases, or from resistance to enlistment, or from the. imprisonment of conscientous objectors, the grave dilemna of. the Irish situation which only a witless statesmanship \vémld raiseâ€"would be invoked for the sake of an obviously unfair and partial plan, yieldin ridiculously small results. For t ese reasons. the anti-co-nscriptionists will absoâ€" lutely refuse to Waive the Prime Minister’s condition of general con- sent to any measure of forced service. and will indeed regard it as specially applicable to the form of it which the Derby correspondâ€" ence suggests. The Derby scheme has already stretched moral com- pulsion to its utmost limit. Lord Lansdo-Wne’s scheme of eliminating workers indispensable to the national upkeep of the nation by starred classes has been thrown overboard. and the whole body of unenlisted men Within the age liimts are called on to report them- selves to the local tribunals. and. either in their persons or in those of their .emnlovcrs. to defend their exemption from service. Free personal choice does. of course. exist. Put it is beinnr driven into All these considerations remain. In face of them the Opposition, and the 200 members of "Parliament who sustain it have entirely rejected the proposition that this grave. political and national issue can be reduced to the trivial point of whether Lord Derby will or will not enlist an unspecified number of a single class on which heavy drafts have already .been made. No question of the gravity of con- scription can be decided on the the results of a few days duration But in any case, the idea of con- seripting‘ the remnant of the un- married of military age, and ex- empting the married, would be quite impractible. It would be revolting to the heads iof the Army, for it would either be ne- cessary to attach the ('o'isr-z'i. ml no help, 'but a hindrance to the winning 0! that war. The speakers dealt on 'the great need of more men for overseas ser- vice and the duty that devolved upon every young man of courage and devotion to offer his services to the overthrow of German mili- tarism and autocratic government. The addresses were interspersed with a programme of singing. music, wrestlin , boxing, etc.. all of which serve to make the even- ing one long to be remembered by all present.â€"Owen Sound Sun.
