~ ANTIâ€" WAR DEMONSTRATION BY _ BUDAPEST SOGIALISTS REPORTED : BY BERLIN PAN GERMANS OPPOSED !: ; Sir Wilfrid Laurier has seized the first opportunity to express his regret ‘, ‘or the conduct of his supporters in denying the Prime Minister of Canads, a _ hearing in Kitchener last Saturday night. Jt is to be regretted, however, that the members of the Kitchener City ‘ouncil, a majority of whom seem to be supporters of Sir Wilfrid, permitted wetty cansiderations of local jealousy to interfere with a similar expression of regret from them. Now that they @ave the example of their leader wil} .‘hey follow it? ® This was to be expected from so ardent and eloquent a champion of free speech as Sir Wilfrid. That farmers as a class have every reason to welcome the Military Service Act and no reason to fear it is shown by the definite statement made by General Mewburn, Minister of Militia, the other day. The statement ‘was in the nature of a pledge and was as follows: "Farmers‘ sons who are honestly engaged in the production of food will be exempt from military service, and if 1 continue to be Minâ€" ister of Militia I will give yod my word that it any farmers‘ sons who are honestly engaged in the production of foodstuffsâ€"if they are exâ€" empted by the Tribunals and are called up for military serviceâ€" l will have them honorably discharged from the Canadian Expedition: ary Force, provided they go back to the farm, because it is very imâ€" portant that we should increase our production of foodstuffs." Wnder the Military Service Act _the farmer is protected. Under the voluntary system he was liable to be left in the lurch at any time. There have been several extraordinary developments in Russia since the tomanoffs fell, but nothing more amazing than the attempt of the Bolshevi} faction to engineer an armistice with Germany. The despatch, which tell: of the deposition of a loyal soldier, General Dukhonin, because he refused t« carry out orders for the opening of pourparlers and the proposed institution of a«.set of "plenipotentiaries‘" from different regiments to begin parleying with the enemy, each apparently "on his own,‘" would be Gilbertian were it not sc tragic. Trotsky and Lenine, who happen for the moment to be occupying the government buildings at Petrograd, would quite probably be glad to conclud« any arrangements which would leave theim in uninterrupted possession o power. For the time being they are masters of the government machinery and may succeed in bringing about still further demoralization in the arm» they have abandoned and betrayed, but they are not yet the government o‘ Russia. Nobody realizes this more clearly than Germany. When the Bolshevil scheme comes under the practical gaze of Wilhelmstrasse it will (a_ll to the sround. It may be good German poliag to take the Bolsheviki offer seriously â€"provided always the scheme did not actually originate iu Berlin, as is quitc uossibleâ€"even perhaps to announce the conclusion of the muchâ€"hearalde« a~mistice but Germany will not be fooled thereby. She knows perfectly wel that she must ultimately deal with a representative body of some sort ant he will not willingly put herself in the position of having her armistice flung ‘mck in her face by the men who will ultimately put the Lenineâ€"Trotsky com ~ination where it belongs. No legitimate and representative government of nowly democratized Russia will conclude a separate peace with autocratic Gormany. _ The Montreal Star thinks, we still do well not to be led astray by Amsterdam, Nov. 28.â€" A great Socialist demonstration at Budapest on Sunday in favor of an armistice and peace is reported by the Vossiche Zeiâ€" tung of Berlin. .

General Von Ludendorff expressed the belief‘ that a general armistice would interrupt submarine â€" activity and allow the Entente Allies to imâ€" prove its positions, while on the othâ€" er hand no supplies would reach the Central Powers. Wherefore _ he thought such an armstice should be a brief one as otherwise the military situation would suffer. The final alliea Grive in East Africa is now being prepared.
