ARE AFRAID THAT ONLY CONSERVATIVES ARE FIGHTING FOR EMPIRE (Special to The Chronicle) Ottawa, Apl.8\u2014The government's bill providing that Canadians who volunteer for military service during the war will not be deprived of the right to exercise their franchise provoked a spirited debate in the Commons today, the Opposition coming out flatly footed against the proposal.The heavy artillery on both sides were brought into action and the cannonading continued until the early hours of the morning.In the course of the discussion Sir Robert Borden made a statement which will be read with more than passing interest by the country.Interrupting Hon.Frank Oliver, who in a most violent speech charged that the proposal to give votes to the soldiers indicated an intention on the part of the government to hold an election this year, the Prime Minister said: \u201cI would like to say to my honorable friend who has just appealed to me that the question of a general election will | stand on its own merits when the time comes.We have been too busy with other things.But I desire to tell him this: \u201cThat, including the vote of want of confidence which his leader moved end which he supported in every move during the past.six weeks of is House, Honorable Gentlemen on the other side have been actuated purely by a desire so greatly lauds at the \u2018present time and that any man who has foilowed the course taken by Hon Gentlmen in this House and in the Committees of this House during the past six weeks knows absolutely the full truth of what I have just The only Liber:# to support the measure was that sterling imperialist and Col.H.M.McLean of Queens Burry, who wil himself soon he at the front as commander of a brigade.He approved the general principle, and would discuss details in commit tee.Sir Wilfrid Laurier nbjected to the bill on the grounds that its provisions were inconsistent with the demands of responsible government, that it imposed duties upon British officers which the Canadian parliament was without right or power to impose, that it simed to introduce\u2018 passian and dissension where unity of thought pnd action should prevail that it would interfere with army discipline and that it would interfere with the paramount duty of the soldiers at the front.: Sir Robert Borden made a strong attack upon Sir Wilfrid's position.He took the ground that men who were risking their lives for the cause of human freedom should not be denied the right of franchise.The fathers and mothers and sisters and brothers of the men who had gone to the firing line would not look upon the measure in the \u201ccold-blooded way\u201d that the leader of the \u2018Opposition looked upon it.The Premier ointed out that New Zealand polled er soldiers votes and maintained that thege was no reasonable reason why Canada should do the same.CRUISER KENT AT FERNANDEZ PORT Collao, Peru, April 87-The British eruiser Kent, one of the vesels which recently sank

forces against Turkey.The following official statement was issued by the War Office tonight: \u201cThe expeditionary corps of the Orient, which was placed under command of General A.G.L.D'Amaie and concentrated at Bizerta (a tortr- fied seaport of Tunis, Africa), to perfect its organization has effected the voyage of the Levant under the best of conditions.It had been reâädy since ; March 15th, to aid the Allied fleets .and British expeditionary corps.\u201cIn waiting, it was deemed advisable not to prolong the stay of the troops aboard the transports, and, for this reason the hospitality of Egypt | was accepted.The French forces | have heen debarked at Alexandria and \"are installed at Ramleh, where they ! are resting and perfecting their organization and cohesion.They are ready to proceed without delay to any point | necessary.\u201d SENATE ADJIURNS BILINGUAL DEBATE SUCH ACTION IS PRACTICALLY TANTAMOUNT TO 8HEL- VING IT ALTOGETHER, Ottawa, April 8\u2014The bi-lingual school resolution of the Senate is not likely to be voted on this session.It was practically shelved today by a resolution adjourning it for a week.Prorogation is expected before that time.On the bi-lingual resciution being called Senator Beique reviewed the discussion which had already taken place, It was significant taat all parties seemed to he agreed upon the principle embodied in.the motion made by Senator D:vid.The amendment offered by Senator Bolduc contained the principle but avoided mention of any particular province.The sub-amendment also r:cognized the governing principle of Senator David's resolution.Thetefore he failed to see why there should be division in the House, Senator (Choquette quoted Father { Quinn's adlress to the French Canadian Congress at Quebec in favor of the French languase.He asked the people of Father Quinn's faith and blood to vote to give justice to French-Canadians in the question now before them.Senator David said that he had been influenced by no one in the preparation of his resolution and no one had suggested he should introduce it.He had prepared the resolution hime self and no one knew that he propos, ed to introduce it, Neither had fe heen jnfluenced hy political motives.He wiaintained the Senate had no right to deal with his resolution.Senator David thought the soldiers now in the trenches and the Fathers of Confederation would favor his motion as amended by Senator Bolduc, On motion of Senator Daniel the debate was adjourned for a week.GORDON\u2019S LONDON DRY GIN EE (UNSWEETENED) GORDON\u2019S OLD TOM GIN GORDON'S SLOE GIN

successes were won yesterday and today between the Meuse and the Moselle.At Eparges a night attack enabled us to make a step in advance and we have maintained our progress notwithstanding three violent counter attacks.We have already counted on the field more than a thousand dead bodies of Germans.\u201cFurther to the south, near Lamorville, in a spirited infantry action we wiped out a German company, and took prisoners the ten survivors.\u201cIn the Ailly wood we carried additional trenchés and repulsed two counter attacks.In the forest of Montmare, north of Flirey, we gained a footing in the ens- my\u2019s defence works and Held our ground there in spite of the of forts the enemy made to regain them.\u201cTo the north-east of this wood the cable of a captive balloon was severed by one of our shells and the balloon drifted across our lines towards the south-east.\u201cTo sum up: The offensive connaissances ani-attacks whic we have carried out since April 4th between the Meuse and the Moselle have given the following results: \u201cPirst\u2014On the north-east and east fronts of Verdun we have gained on a front of twenty kilometers and occupied the heights which dominate the course of the Orne river, and carried the villages of Gussainville and Fromezey.\u201cSecond.\u2014On the heights of the Meuse, at Eparges, we have carried almost the whole of the strong positions held by the enemy on the plateau which commands Combre, and we retain the ground captured in the face of numerous and very violent counter attacks.\u201cThird.Further to the south, near St.Mihiel, we have captured the entire south-western portion of the Ailly wood, where the Getmans were strongly established.This they have been unable to retake, despite repeated counter attacks.\u201cFourth\u2014In southern Woevre, between the forest of Montmare | and the forest of Le Pretre, we | have gained on a front of seven ! to eight kilometers a distance of three kilometers

two villages have heen carried and the French have occupied the heights dominating the Orne, a smali river running east and west.Similarly, according to the official statement, the French have captured the plateau commanding Combres, have occupied the south-western part of the Ailly wood, where the German: were strongly entrenched, and have gained nearly two miles on a five- mile front between the forests of Montmare and La Pretre.The German War Office sets up counter claims of successes in this region and declares that the French have made virtually no progress, being repulsed at various points.There seems to be little doubt that the sharp edge of the wedge has been moved back a distance, and there is a certainty, too, that the opposing forces are paying a heavy price in Killed and wounded.At Eparges.as an illustration of the German casn- alties, the French report the finding of one thousand German dead on the field.The situation in the Carpathian mountains resolves iisclf into one of position so far as the official statements issued from Petrograd and Vienna are concerned.The Russian report is largely confined to the western portion of the Beskid mountains, where the Russian drive has had its greatest success.The Austrian report bears on the east Beskids, where Germans and Austrians have been battling desperately in the Laborcza valley against great Russian forces, which have added to their strength the victorious troops that had invested Przemys!, In this sector the Austrians claim to have repulsed the Russians, inflicting enormous losses.\u201cOur success in the Easter battle, in which some 10.000 unwounded prisoners were captured,\u201d says the Austrian statement, \u201cis.indisputable.\u201d A French corps from Africa, under the command of General D'Amade.has been landed at Alexandria, Egypt, and there awaits orders to proceed to the support of the Allied fleet and British expeditionary forces in the operations agiinst Turkey, - An attempt has been made by a native Egyptian to assassinate the Sultan of Egypt, but the bullet went wide and the Sultan's assailant was seized.The German Government has informed the State Department at Washington that compensation for the sinking of the American ship William P.Frye by the auxiliary cruiser Prinz Eitel Friedrich and also for her cargo of wheat will he given by the Germans.Germany will require.however, that the case be taken before a German prize court, that the court may gonsider the question of the legality of the capture and destruction of the ship, and fix the amount of the indemnity.COONUO ONO NOD OVD ROCANUD VAT NUL ONATOO UOT Do You Read Much ?How often do you want a particular number of your favorite magarine, and, having waited too long, find it all \u201csold out\u201d in ail the stores?Hasn't this ever occurred to you?And have you ever considered how easily this could be avoided.Drop in today and leave your order with us to nave your Magazines Sent to Your House the day of each month on which it is published.It costs no more and you are saved the inconvenience and uncertainty of trying to purchase them.JOHN E.WALSH\u2019S Reg\u2019d., 11 ST JOHN STREET & VALIQUET'S Breakfast Rolls, Home- Made Bread Maple Sugar, Maple Syrup.JOS.D.VALIQUET \u2018Phone 1526.12 FABRIQUE STREET.Bakery For Sale FOR SALE\u2014At Ste.Anne de Beaupre, à good house including private residence and a bakery;

New York, April 8\u2014Manipulation | in the commou shares of the Bethlehem Steel Company, long à feature nf the stock market, reached its climax today in a succession of violent movements which carried the shares up to 117 from its opening price of 88%.The early rise was orderly but sure, the new high price of 96% being recorded before mid-day and par soon after, In the early afternoon it rose to 103, where profit taking sent the price back to par and from which figure it slowly renewed its progress up to 105.In the final hour the stock became furiously active, rising in lots of 100 to 200 shares and with jumps of one to three points tn 117.As suddenly it declined to 105, recovered to 110 and closed at 105.1ts maximum rise was 2944 points and its net gain 174, Transactions in Bethlehem Steel aggregated 80.000 shares or about 12 per cent, of the whole.Reasons for the phenomenal movement were lacking in official quarters, but traders were of the opinion that it was made pnssible be the op- | position of a short interest, which has persistently fought the advance and which gathered further courage on the failude of the directors to put the stock on a divides:d basis.Bethlchem Steel priierred also was active and _ strong for a time but lost the most | MONTREAL 8TOCK EXCHANGE.| uplands, 9.80c.of industrials in which Bethlehem of its gain.;
