1.50 per year F. W. GALBRAITH, Editor - Dr. Clark's announcement of his purpose not to be a candidete bo Red Deer at the. impending election was not unexpected, in view of his break with the Liberal leader, and his conviction as to his duty at the present emergency. Dr, Clark was re-noiinated as the Liberal candi- date on June 29th, 1915, The Advocate had hoped that Dr. Clark would have foreborne definite decision .qsto. his candidature until the air cleared somewhat at Ottawa. But he bas apparently made up bis waind that there will be no coalition or national bi-party government, and that the comsequent election will be fought by Sir Wilfrid Laurier on party lines, in which case he coul not be the candidate of any Liberal organization which recognized Sir Wilfrid as its war-leader, and which gave allegiance to the policy he ha: laid down. The Dr. s comments on the Liberal party do mot add either weight or Aignity to his letter of withdrawal, but this is not the time or place to factor in the Dominion s life to be ' either ignored, or coerced, or steam Follered, while Sir- Wilfrid went down to defeat at the hands of protection ists in 1911. That being said, the Advocate teliev s that there are a large number of Liberals in the Red Deer constituency who will sorely re gret if they have not opportunity to endorse Dr. Clark's general course om Canada s war duty, and who are prepared to endorse almost any can didate who reflects his general views. who can show some of the cleaness of hands,, the fidelity to principle and: the tenacity of warpurpose which have characterized Dr. Clark, THE POPE'S PEACE PROPOSALS The Pope's appeal for peace ty the the warring alliances to call it + draw, and to retum to before-the- war relations with neither anoexu tions nor indemnities; Belyiumr,to b restored independent; the borde questions of Alsace-Lorraine and of Ktalia Irrendenta, and the status o/ Poland, the Balkan Stutes and agreement. The freedom of the scas, also urged. While the ressage of His sloline lt;) . will have respectful eww. ction, . and may out nore explicit as to the purposed of the Hnatente Allies, it is evident that the fatter, at least, will not accept its suggestions. They believe that Ger- many, as the aggressor in the ter rible war, must make some ,dejusto gcaterial reparation for the disaster she has inflicted: she and her a'lies pdequate guarantees, by the over- throw of her military oligarchy for one thing, that there will not Obe the need of maintaining huge de fence establishments to protect themselves from another wanton at- tack. It is in the latter purpose that the United States is more es- pecially interested. ; There are a lot of matters which scam be settled by compromise, .by eer ents by arbitra- tions: Lorraine and: the Itali- divided according to language, pro- -tectorates may be established in the Balkan peninsula and in Poland, but restoration and reparation for Bel- -gium and Serbia and the removal of the German military menace, are , essentials which must be accowplish- +d, or the war will go for naught.

Meanwhile: the British ,and French forces in Belgium and on the sectors of Lens and Veudun in France ayain have made progress against the Germans, and also have theld, notwithstanding most. violent joounter-attacks, all the ground they won in recent fighting. On the east- ern front, near the important Rus- sian port of Riga om the Baltic, the Germans have started what possibly may turn out to be another big of fensive, and also are attacking the Russian-lines to the southeast in. the vicinity of Dvinsk, and farther south Brody and Tarnopol, in Galicia. Already the Italian offensive bas resulted jp the capture of more than 18.000 prisoners and 30 guns.
