LONDON, May 11.-"There is no

doubt whatever," says tile London Daily Telegraph, "that during the last few_ days a definite attempt has been made by the German Govern- ment'to.impress neutrals with its strong desire for peace, with a view to inducing them to come forward as mediators and break up the alliance of its enemies, _by getting one of them to conclude a. separate peace.

“For the present it would not serve

any useful purpose to disclose the facts in their entirety, but it can be said that the Kaiser has personally sellt a letter to President Wilson, ill<_ which appealing to him as the great-l est neutral authority, lle expatiates- on the necessity of urging the Entente Powers not to prolong indefinitely.

cularly insistent in their assurances that if given a fair chance, Germany would do her best to conciliate her present opponents. _

"It is believed in many quarters

that so far as Germany is concerned. th Irish troubles were engineered with the idea. of bringing home to President Wilson an approximate es- timate of the international dangers his own country would incur. it it should be called upon to make' war “D011 Germany. with so many mil- liolls of Germans and Irishmen living under the Stars and Stripes."

Bclow is given the Hnnzard report

of the speech delivered by Mr. A. A. McLean immediately after Mr_ Mich- ael Clark, Liberal member for Red Deer had made his memorable speech denouncing the scandalous waste of time by_ Liberal opposltionlsts in their petty criticisms. Mr. J. J. Hughes had joined in the chorus of small critics and faulifinding and Mr. McLean very properly contradict- ed his statements,

Mr. A. A. McLEAN (Quecn‘s, P. E_

i.): I believe we all fcoi that the hon. member for Red ' Deer (Mr. Clark) has struck the right note, and that he has expressed the feeling of the people of Canada. Asfhe has said, this is not the time for such criticism as we have had. I had a letter yester- day from a young man at the front, and he told me that he had justcome in from the trenches. He told of the fearful sights he had secll, with :lead men all around him, and he asks: "What are you doing in Canada; what are you doing in Parliament? You are fighting like blazes_" and for what? Is it for anything material in the carrying on of this war-is it for any- thing material at all? Take, for in- stance, the statements mario by the hon. member for Kings (Mr. Hughes) He said there was nothing but partis- anship in the conduct of _the Mili_tia_ Department in' relation to the soldiers in Prince Edward island. lrqprslent' the largest constituency in that prov- ince, and I have never heard a, word uttered with reference to partisan ship. I know that from one end of Prince Edward Island to the other there is perfect harmony, that every man, woman alld child is' doing his or her best to forward the interests of Canada ill this great war for the lib- ertyof the world. The hon. member i’or_'_}_{ings_mnde one statement wllich, Ithink, should not be passed over by me; he said that no Liberal doctor is

referred to the case ofa doctor wllose` nephew or brother had been killed. The man to whom he referred is evi- dently Colonel Warburton. In Prince Edward Island we have had a great, number of men go to the front. In__ the last battery that went. Dr. War-_ burton examined nearly all the re-. cruits. ln previous batteries, oi’ which_ there have been two or three, Dr.,

allowed to examine a soldier, and he,

-_ l

I _

“Moreover, in the capitalsof sell- I. S

‘ oSil i i i A h d

eral of the neutral coulltries, the Ger- » ~ man' representatives have been parti- ,

Warburton examined all. But in the

last battery that was raised shiver doctor was given his turn. Dr. _RP- burton is not dissatisfied with tho treatment he has received. He is r. retired ofiicer and the-men who did the examining of the last battery ar" men in the active militis_ It would seem that to the mind of tho hon. member for Kings it is an unpardotl able thing that the ‘Conservative par- ty- shouid have successfully carried out Canada's share in the conduct of the war. Had they made mistakes that would have been to the advantage ol' the Liberal party, but because they have conducted aifairshonestly they have been unpardonabiy wrong in the eyes of the hon. gentleman. Thsro was another statement of the hon. gentleman (Mr. Hughes) to which i wish to refer, and that is with refer- ence to the officers who have gone with thc several contingents. Of the oillcers who have 'gone' to the front, ns well as those who are with thc battalion' now in Charlottetown. the majority have been Liberals. Nobody had anything to say _against that. Though I am s Conservative I never had anything to say against the ap- pointment of a Liberal oillcer. All that is wanted is that the oillcer shall be competentto flil the position to _Which _ho is appointed. That is what all Canadians, wniit,"t`_iist'-and nothing failofwe do not win! politics in mili- tary affairs, we do not wont to put a Conservative in a position of com- mand if he is not competent to com- mand, and that has not been done in the province of Prince Edward Is- land.

Now, with regard to the supply of

groceries and other things for thc soldiers in Prince Edward island, ‘let me say that these contracts were given after call for tenders. I un- derstand the contracts have'been giv- en to the lowest bidders. I have not made any inquiry as to who goi the contracts, it is no part of my business; I never interfereddn it one way or the other. I do not think that any of my Liberal-Conservative friends in my constituency took any interest in it. All they wanted _war- to get as many good men as possible and to send them to the front to do their duty for the defence of the Em- pire. »
