WAR-TIME ELECTIONS
PROVISIONS OF THE CANADIAN BILL. Ottawa, September 6. The Solicitor-General (Hon. Arthur Meighen) has introduced the War-Time Elections Bill, which provides for tho disfranchisement of aliens ,of enemy origin naturalised sinco 1002, and enfranchising tho wife, mother, sister, or daughter of soldiers. Tho Bill is criticised bccause of tho illogical distinction between women with relatives in tho s rmy and other women who are equally patriotic. Mr. Meighen justifies tho disfranchisement of aliens by the precedent created in Australia prior to iho elections there.—Aus.-N.Z. Cablo Assn.
