ten armed patrol craft, in addition to a German ausi- liary cruiser, was equipped with six-; | inch guns, were destroyed in the naval : | engagement reported today.The .statement issued dy the British

Exchange Telegraph despatch from Copenhagen.The Marie, a 3,000-ton vessel, met the British destroyers twelve miles north of Kullen.She immediately opened fire, which was answered by the destroyers.In ten minutely the Marie was ablaze.Of the 81 members of her crew, the « despatch says, thirty were killed and the others took to the boats.Seven wounded sailors subsequently were rescued by th?Danish steamship Dalgas.Another man was picked up by the steamship Trendhjen.They were landed last night.The other members of the crew are believed ty have been rescued by the destroyer:, ee tr fused by the overwhelming nature of his reception that his whole extensive plan of advance was broken down after short but severe fighting.At Crest Farm some parties of the enemy succeeded in entering our line, but were driven headlong from the position in a counter-attack in which we took numerous prisoners, Our own losses were not light, but our stretcher-bearers, coming back from beyond the front line, report the ground covered with enemy dead, while each additional prisoner we take confirms the reports of the enemy\u2019s severe casualties.The Bosche is literally being given no rest.For five solid hours, from 10 o'clock last night until 8 o'clock this morning.our guns hombarded him incessantly, and the ground fourteen miles beyond the front line was trembling frem the intensity of our shellfire, while the sky was brightened with the glare of our guns.\u2014 THE HIGHEST STANDARD OF QUALITY JURE.WALKER LAR Scotch Whisky 10 years old old FRANC \u2014 MEN AND GUNS SENT TO THE TAGLIAMENTO THEATRE WHERE THE ITALIANS ARE HOLDING THE TEUTONIC INVADERS AT BAY \u2014 WAR BRAINS OF BRITAIN AND FRANCE ON WAY TO CONSULT WITH THE ITALIAN LEADERS AND EVOLVE PLANS FOR VICTORY \u2014 BOMBARDMENTS IN FRANCE AND FLANDERS \u2014 BRITISH SUCCESS IN MESOPOTAMIA.Great Britain and France truly are rushing to the aid of Italy in her critical hour.Not alone have men and guns been sent to the battle front along the Tagliamento river, where the Italians are holding the Teutonic allied invaders at bay, but the war brains of Great Britain and Francecomprising the elements which have been so successful in operating against | the foe in Prance and Belgiuns\u2014are on their way to Italy to consult with the Italian leaders and evolve plans ta change the order of things as they now stand.Premier Lloyd George and Gene:al Sr William R.Robertson, chicf of the Imperial Staff at British Army Headquarters, are the leaders of the British delegation, while Premier Painleve is the chief representative v.the French mission.No details of the plans of the joint mission have been announced, but undoubtedly the purpose is to give Italy what she requires in the way of material for an intensive\u2019 conduct of the war and also to assure her of a great reinforcement in man power, guns and ammunition, Meanwhile General Cadurna\u2019s forces are holding the invaders alung the Tagliamento by means of their heavy artillery and quick-firers.On the left wing, the Italians have replied vigorously to strong pressure by the Germans and Austro-Hungarians and thus far have neld the attacking forces for no gains.t All along the front Italian aviators are soaring over the enemy lines, | dropping bombe on ammunition depots and transpert movetiagte.Recently there have been reports that the Austro-Swiss burder has | | been closed and that the encmy forces in the Trentino region were being reinforced.A swift drive by the Austro-Germans through the vaileys and the mountain passes southward through Bre:cia, would seriously affect the entire eastern Italian front, and possibly result in a further important withdrawal of the Italian line.While the British and French fcrces in Flanders are carrying out minor operations, these being mainly confined to bombardments of German positions and small raids into enemy territory, the French along the Ailette valley are keeping their cutposts in close contact with the Germans who retreated last week and also are violently bombarding the new- ly-taken-up positions, On severs! sectors to the east of this region, eae pecially north-west of Rheims and north of Chaume in the Verdun sector, the Germans have essayed several violent infantry attacks, but in each instance met with defeat.In Mesopotamia the British tioops operating against the Turks have driven a sharp salient into the Ottoman line north-west of Bagdad, having forced the enemy to withdraw along the Tigris about twenty miles irom Dus to the town of Tekrie.The new drive places the apex of the British line approximately one hundred miles up the Tigris from Bagdad.BRITISH IN PALESTINE.London, Nov.&\u2014The British army in Palestine captured fifteen guns in the recent attack which resulted in the taking of Beersheba, it was cf.ficially announced today.The statement says: \u201cFifteen guns were captured at Beersheba.Prisoners to the number of 444, including 98 officers were ccptured at Gaze\u201d ; \u2014\u2014 BRITISH STATEMENT.London, Nov.&\u2014The fighting in Flanders today was of a minor character, according to the reports {rom Field Marshal Haig tonight.The text reads: \u201cThis afternoon a successful raid, in which we captured à number of prisoners and some machine guns was carried out by London territorials east of Gavrelie.During the night the enemy raided our trenches southeast of Epehy under cover of a heavy bombardment.Two of our men are missing.A hostile attempt to raid one of our posts north of Polygon

extension would have been possible.\u2018This impression is absolutely erroneous, the fact being that the invitation extended to me was coupled with the stipulation that the coalition government would pass a conscription measure, and then appeal to the country, thus making an election unavoidable.The government as recently reconstructed, the Union government so-called, is now appealing to the country for support.Six members of the Liberal party, some of them close personal friends, have consented to tecome members of the administration, and the programme which they intend to follow has already been placed before the public, but in this programme, no trace is to be found that the Liberal members of the Administration have succeeded in influencing their colleagues to the adoption of measures which they deemed essential, not only to win the war, but for the \u2018welfare of the country at all times.Most of the articles in the government's manifesto are simply stale commonplaces extracted from the Conservative programme of 1911, forgotten after the election, resurrected for à new election.Such is the promise of .economy of publie «xpenditure, and such the promise of Civil Service reform\u2014two reforms which the Opposition would have Leen happy to support parliament, if the government had afforded them the opportunity.Immigration Pclicy.One particular item is deserving of attention.\u201cA strong and progressive policy of immigration\u201d is promised.This will be, perhaps, the most important question after the war.The hurdens which are now being accumulated, and which will have to be assumed and borne by the Canadian people, can be faced if the enormous resources of the country are developed.But development demands a rapid increase in the population.Îlence the necessity of a strong and progressive immigration policy.It is manifest that the promised strong and progressive policy.It is manifesto that the promised strong and progressive poliey has been seriously impaired by the breach of faith with naturalized Canadian citizens involved in the withdrawal of the politicét franchise from large numbers of these citizens.This must prove a serious blew to immigration, especially when the conduit of the Canadian government is centrasted with the attitude of the United States where no such indignity has been placed upon naturalized citizens.An article of the programme of the government speaks of the development of transportation facilities, but in vague though rather ambitious terms.No mention is made of the acquisition of the Canadian Northern Railway; yet this subject was not exhausted by the legislation of last session, and it will be one of the most important duties of the next parliamert again to review, One feature of the act of last session is that the government becomes the owner nf the steck of the company, of the nominal value of sixty million dollars.There never was à dollar paid in that stock, The experts employed by the government to appraise the value of the whole enter- pe, men of acknowledged ability and experience, themselves have reported that the stock of the company has no value whatever.Yet the government have taken suthority to appoint a board of aebl- trators to give à value to that pro perty, the experts have declared absolutely without value, .The Opposition asked that the report of the arbitrators, whatever it might be, should be laid before parliament for spproval.Though this motion was rejected, it was the right of the people to declare that the case should not have been finally closed by the action of a moribund parliament, but that the whole matter should be reported to, and adjudie.ated wpon, by the new parliament.Situation.Ît wse natural to expect that the re-constructed government.would give very serious attention % the in the last] | £ Quebec © ESTABLISHED 17 QUEBEC, MONDAY NOVEMBER 5, 191 ONE CENT.economic situation of the country, which is admittedly critical.There is no allusion to it except the vague promise of \u201ceffective measures to prevent excessive profits to probibit hordings, and to prevent co:nbination for the increase of the prices, and thus reduce the high cost of living.\u201d The economic problems, have to be grappled with at once, in no such vagus general terms, but in vigorous and concrete proposals.The price of all commodities have bees steadily rising since the beginning of the war.The daily provisioning of the family table is from day to day becoming a more and more alarming problem for all classes of wage-earners and for all people of small and even moderate incomes.It is no answer to say that this is the natural consequence of the war.When it is considered that the price of bread and bacon\u2014to speak only of these two commodities\u2014is higher her in Canads than in the United Kingdom, this \u2018of itself, is proof sufficient that the prîces here are inflated by methods which are in no way connected with the war, unless the war is taken adiantage of for the very purpose of inflation.Indeed, the principal causes of these ever- soaring prices are none other than those described in the government manifesto as \u201cexcessive profits,\u201d \u201choardings\u201d and \u201ccombinations for the increases of prices.\u201d Since the government knows where the evil is, what prevents the government from striking the evil, and striking it hard.\u2018The remedies are at hand, and I at once set down the policy.No measure to reduce the cost of living can be effective unless and until the tariff is reformed and its pressure removed from those commodities in which there \u201care excessive profits,\u201d \u201choardings\u201d and \u201ccombinations for the increase of prices.\u201d Of this obvious, fundamental reform there is not a word in the govein- ment manifesto.Indeed, members of the present government have announced that all questions of tariff legislation must be relegated to after the war, .Believing that increased food production is one of Canada\u2019s best contributions towards winning the war, ! would propose, if entrusted with the administration of the country, to immediately relieve agriculture from its disabilities in this regard Since the commencement of the war, the government placed an increase of 7 1-3 per cent in our tariff on all commodities coming into Canada from outside Great Britain, and an increase of 5 per cent on the goods coming from Great Britain.Iwould immediately remove those two disabilities as respects commodities from all countries other than those with which we are at war.There is no doubt that under existing conditions, these incresses in the tariff are a hindrance rather than a help to production in Canada, whilst it is certain that in the final resori, the consumer has to pay these extra taxes.The increased Mity on imports from Great Britain was an unfriendly and an unnecessary action on the part of Canada towards the Mother Country, at a time when British trade was staggeNng under the disadvantages incidental to the war.It continues to bear unfairly and unduly on existing trade and should be speedily removed.In further mitigation of disadvantages to agricultural production, I would immediately remove the duties on\u2019 agricultural implements and other essentials, \u2018as demanded by the western farmers.A general well-consi- dered reform of the tariff, for the purpose of helping Canadian produc tion and relieving the Canadian consumer woyld also be an object of my administration Reduce Cost of Living.In connection with the high cost of living, 1 would take drastic steps to bring under government control all food producing factories, so that food may be sold at a fixed price under the control of the government, as has beep done in Great Britain.To this end arrangements should be made with the management of the food-producing factories allowing.for a fair interest on investment and fair and reasonable net profits, so that food may be obtainable by the ordinary consumer at the best possible prices.Should such arrangements not be possible, 1 would not hesitate to commandeer all food factories.Nor is that all.The government is invested with powers which they could and should have used to reduce the price of all commodities, These powers they have already exercived in the case of news print paper.As far back as the month of February last an Order-In-Couneil was passed by which it was enacted that \u201cwith a view to ensure the publishers of Canadian newspapers news print paper at reasonable prices\u2019 the Minister of Customs was \"suthorized and empowered to fix the quantity and price of news print in sheet and rolls to be furnished by the manufacturers to the publishers in Canada.\u201d By virtue of this order.the gow ernment has compelled manufactu- rs of news print paper, against the lêter\u2019s protest, to supply publishers and newspapers st a price which they themselves fixed as reasonable.If they could thus reduce the price of paper to consumers of paper, why did they stop there?Why should the ca not te have reduc.ol} may be conseription in A anxious housewives and bresd-win- ners, the prices of all those commodities which made the ever-increas- ing cost of living one of the most insistent and dangerous of all the problems that now confront us\" Stop Profitessing.One of the most important contributions towards winning the war is to put'a stop to profiteering on war supplies.The government has deliberately encouraged profiteering for the benefit: of its partisan followers, A first duty of my administration would be to secure to the country, which pays for war supplies, the excess of exorbitant profits being realized by profiteers.Should it be necessary.| would not hesitate, in order to immediately stop profiteering, to take control of the factories which are engaged in the supply of war materials, as has been done in Great Britain, and run them on the principle of reasonable returns on investment for the owners, and reasonable legitimate profits.I believe that one of the best methods of providing war supplies, and of saving the country from being exploited by profiteers, would be to turn the government shops, which are suitable for such* purposes, to the production of war materials, ships.etc, for the benefit of the country at cost price.It cannot be said too often that this war could not have been avoided by the Allies, and that it is a contest for the very existence of civilization.Of this the entrance of the United Statef into the conflict is further proof, if, indeed, further proof were needed.The American people long hoped that they would be spared that ordeal, but the ruthless violation by Germany of the most sacred canons of international law, left them \u2018no option; they had to join in the fight against a power which has become the common enemy of mankind.At the very beginning, penetrated of the immensity of the struggle and of the necessity of bending all our efforts to the winning of the war, we | of the Opposition gave to the government every possible assistance.We assented to all their war measures, except when convinced that their measures would be detrimental rather than helpful.Military Service Act.This year the government introduced a bill to make military service compulsory.With this policy 1 found it impossible to agree.If it be asked how this view is consistent with my oft-expressad determination to assist in winning the war I answer without any hesitation that\u2019 this sudden departure from the voluntary system was bound more to hinder than to help the war.It should be remembered that, previous to the war, in all British countries, conscription was unknown.It was the pride of British peoples everywhere that compulsory military service, the bane of continental Europe, had never been thought of in Great Britain, and that even the gigantic struggle against Napoleon had been fought on the purely voluntary system.At the same time it must be pointed out that, in Great Britain, for some years before the war, in view of the immensity of war preparations amongst all the nations of the continent, the question of conscription was seriously and increasingly discussed in parliament, and in the press, so that at last, when à measure to that effect was introduced by the government, it came as no surprise.It found the people prepared, and yet even then strong protests were heard from many classes of the come munity.Very different was the introduction of conscription jn Canada.It came as a complete surprise It never had been discussed in parliament, and the voice of the press had been strong against it.In the month of July 1916, such an important paper as the Toronto \u201cGlobe\u201d deprecated the very \u2018idea of conscription, Here is what it said, in a carefully-reasoned editorial; \u201cThe \u2018Globe\u2019.in its editorial col- \u2018umns, has consistently pointed out that in a country such as Canada, conscription is an impossibility, and that no responsible statesman of either party, capable of forming or lexSing a Canadian war ministry, would propose compulsory service.Nor has the \u2018Globe\u2019 unduly criticized the failure of the Borden government to do more than it has done to assist voluntary recruiting.The criticisms of the \u2018Globe\u2019 and of most Liberal papers have been exceedingly mild when compared with the vitriolic denunciations of the Toronto \u2018Teleram,\u2019 the Winnipeg \u2018Telegram,\u2019 the Montreal \u2018Daily Mail\u2019 and other journals that have absolutely no sympathy with the Liberal party.\u201d Even as late as December 37th, 1018, the \u201cGlobe\u201d repeated its warnings against any effort to force Canadians into the ranks, and summed up public opinion thus: \"Trades unionists are found opposing conscription, and the leading opponents of every manifestation of democracy are favoring the system.\u201d No less emphatic had been language of the government, At the beginning of the session of Brio, in answer to my enguiry whether the\u2019 promise recently made hy the Prime Minister of tinting $00, 000 men meant conscription, he answered in there words: \u201cMy Rt Honourable friend has al.fuded to tonscription-=to the ides in this country or elsewhere that there n the \u2018uot be introduced in Canada.fronicle speaking in the first two or three months of this war | made it clear to the people of Canada that we did not propose conscription.1 repeat that announcement today, with emphasis.\u201d Equally emphsti- and unqualified wer my own declarations on che subject.Throughout the whole campaign of 1910 and 1911, [ may recall that the Nationalists-Conservative alliance.which opposed the naval policy of the Liberal government of that time, asserted that such a .policy meant conscription.Meeting these assertions, | gave the public frequent assurance that under no gircumstance would conscription follow the adoption of our policy, Again and again, after the outbreak of the present var I insisted that conscription should Such was my position when the government reversed its attRude and, w:th- out warning, Introduced the Military Service Act.To force such à drastic measure upon a people thus unprepared, and against repeated assurances to the contrary, was neither wise nor prudent, or effective.It may bring men to the ranks, but it will not infuse into the whole body of the nation that spirit of enthusiasm and determination which is more than half the battle.It will create and intensify division where unity of purpose is essential.I am only too well aware that the views which I here present have not met with universal acceptance.even in the party to which I belong, but: even yet I hold that to coerce when persuasion has_not been attempted is not sound policy, and in this I appeal to the impartial judgment of alt Canadians.- .In combatting the policy of conscription, sll that 1 asked was that a measure of such moment should not be enforced by panisment without an appeal to the people I supported a referendum for the reason that the referendum js the most advanced and the most modern method of Lunsultation of the people, without the complications inseparable [EE general election.A referendum had also been asked on this very question by organized labour.My request was denied.1 appeal with great confidence to the fair judgment of the country that the introduction of conscription at this juncture and in the manner above described was a grave error, if it is remembered that the supreme object should have been and still should be to bring all classes of the community to hearty co-opera- tion in the task which was assumed.A fundamental objection to the government's policy of conscription is that it conscripts human life oniy, and that it does not attempt to c.m- script wealth, resources,.or the services of any persons other than those who come within the age limit prescribed by the Military Service Act.This is manifestly unjust.The man who is prepared to volunteer his services and to risk his life in his country's defence is entitled to frst consideration.Those - depend:nt upon him, and who spare him irom their midst, are the next most deserving of the state's solicitude and care.A policy which will accord first place to the soldier and the sailor in the concern of the state will, I believe, bring forth all the men necessary \u2018o fight its battles, without the need of recourse to conscription.Uf retu-n- ed to power, I should adopt such a policy.My first duty will be to seek out the ablest men of the country, men of organizing capacity ws well as men representative of all classes in the community, and invite them, irrespective of what it may invoive in the way of sacrifice of their rer sonal interests, to join with tne in the formation of a cabinet wise first object will he to find the men, money and resources necessary tn ensure the fullest measure of support to our heroic soldiers at the front.and to
