Frenchmen Held
for Repatriation
LONDOtl July 8 (CP).-Mem-
>:rs of the French military and
naval missions in London are being "held for repatriation," it was
learned in informed quarters today.
•-Official sotntes said the missions
definitely had not been Interned,
but observers regarded the phrase
"held for repatriaUon" as elastic
enough to cover virtual internment
cf the members, who worked with
the British authorities up to the
French capitulation to Germany.
It was explained they are in possession of much information about
military and naval forces here,
which Great Britain does not want
to reach the Axis powers.

place the mission members in a
position where they would be forced to give any information they
have to Germany, it was said.

German Supply Ships, Minesweeper, Kiel
Docks, Oil Refineries Suffer; 10
People Die in Britain
By |. F. SANDERSON
Canadian Press Staff Wrlttr
LONDON, July 10 (Wednesday) —(CP Cable). — At
home and abroad, the Royal Air Force smashed at Germany's
military machine throughout Tuesday, setting two warships
afire and damaging other surface vessels, and knocking down
eight Nazi planes in fighting off raids on Britain.
Scores of Cerman planes were over the British Isles all
day and night. They caused at least 10 deaths.
Late last night a joint statement by the Air Ministry and
Ministry of Home Security told of the destruction of the eight
Cerman planes. It said:
"This evening enemy aircraft
dropped a number of high explosive
bombs on a town in East Anglia,
some ot wh ch fell on buildings and
in the streets.
"There were a number of civilian
casualties, including some killed.
"It is now confirmed that in ad
dition to the four enemy aircraft
already reported shot down today,
four other enemy aircraft have
been destroyed in today's fighting.
A number of others were severely
damaged and are unlikely to reach
their bases."
At least 10 persons were killed
during the day, six in the Southwest, two in the Southeast and
two in Wales.
At night some German planes
eklmmed  low over the sea Just
off the Southeast coast while others, flying high, dived 1000 feet
to drop "whistling" bombs on one
town.   Several    buildings   were
damaged.
On a mission of destruction over
Germany and Nazi-occupied territory of Europe, R. A. F. planes hit
and set afire two destroyers or light
cruisers of the four surprised while
riding at anchor East of Germany s
naval base of Wilhelmshaven.
Despite mist and heavy fire from
land and sea batteriei. "our aircraft succeeded in their attack" on
two ships, firing them with Incendiary bombs, Uie Air Ministry
announced.
The R. A F., trading blow for
blow with the Nazi forces which
have bombed Britain almost daily
for nearly a month, also attacked a
German supply ship near Aalborg,
Denmark, and the vessel was believed hit by a salvo of heavy
bombs.
Farther off the Danish coast,
the Ministry told of a bomb from
a patrolling Hudson plane lifting the bow of a German minesweeper right out of the water.
Another Hudson followed up a
dive-bombing attack on a German supply ship with machine-
gun fire and the vessel was seen
settling down by the stern. A few
miles away another German vessel started to throw up smoke
after being raked by machine-
gun bullets.
Other bombing raids were made
on the Kiel docks, sheds and slipways and on oil refineries at Hom-
burg and on barge canals in Western Holland.
The R. A. F. lost seven planes In
a bitter fight over the airdrome at
Stavanger, Norway, where aircraft
on the ground were attacked and
one enemy fighter shot down,
BUTTER AND MARCARINE
RATIONING ORDERED
LONDON, July 9 (CP)-Great
Britain ordered today a joint butter and margarine ration of six
ounces a week. Previously butter
had been rationed at four ounces
a person a week, and margarine
was not rationed.
The reduction in butter and margarine allowances followed by one
day a further rationing of tea, fish

of tea a week—about two cups a
day, starting today.
Medium-priced tea costs 34 pence
a pound.
Nelson Ratepayers to Vole July 25
on $40,000 Bylaw for Waterworks
Extension,    Renewal
Number of Mains
Prooosed
Nelion ratepayers will vote
June 25 on a $40,000 bylaw to extend the City water system and
replace a number of malm to Improve the distribution system.
The date was set by the City
Council lueiday night. W. t.
Gaston, city Clerk, was aooolnt.
sd Returning Officer and Fred
L. Irwin, Auiitant City Clerk,
wat named hit Deputy.
Setting of the date for the bylaw
vote was among highlights of a
meeting in which waler service
and distribution were debated at
length and with some heat The
Council decided first to seek cooperation of householders in using garden sprinklers at specified
hours, so as to permit residents ln
'he upper levels of both Fairview
and the unhill section to draw
water Should the response fall to
bring results, sprinkling regulations would follow. It was pointed
out there was no actual shortage
of water, but that the City distribution system was inadequate to
demands on it; and that while some
residents were wasting water In excessive sprinkling, others were un-
able to obtain even domestic supplies.
Suggestion was offered that a
plebiscite might be held at the
same time as the water bylaw to
determine public opinion on proposals to build a new city nail,
but it was felt that a "straw vote"
by mail might be more effective.
Alderman held that no other issues
should be introduced which might
affect voting on the waterworks
bylaw.

25 liquor plebiscite concluded with

National Registration
Is to Be Supervised by
Chief Electoral Officer
To Be Held Four Days About August 14 Along
Voting Lines; Members to Appoint
Registrars and Deputfes
By R. K. CARNEGIE—Canadian Press Staff Writer
OTTAWA, July 9 (CP)—Jules Castonguay, Chief Electoral Officer
for Canada, today was appointed by order-in-council as Chief Registrar
for Canada to supervise the national registration. His assistant will be
Harry Butcher, who was his assistant during the recent general election.
National registration will be held during four days about Aug. 14
when every man and woman in Canada above the age of 16 years will
appear before local registrars- and provide  the answers  to some 18
questions which will be asked them.
The entire machinery for takings—
the registration will be patterned
along the lines followed in tiking
the vote In a Dominion election.
However, unlike voting, registration will be compulsory and a responsibility of the Individual. Penalties will be provideV for failuie to
register.
There will be at least as many
registration districts as there ore
polling subdivisions in a general
election. Large polling subdivisions
will be subdivided for public
convenience.
The Chief Justice of each Province has been sent a letter asking
that either he. or a Judge he would
name, act as head of the Provincial
registration organization. Thc members of Parliament were being.
asked to name a registrar and a
deputy registrar for each riding.
The plan is that the registrar
and deputy registrar will name
two men to act in each subdivision
corresponding to a deputv returning officer and a poll clerK
in the general elections.
Rates of pay will cpproxlmate
those given to election officials
as will the pay for rental of registration offices. The registrar and
assistant registrar will be allowed their necessary travelling expenses.
The Minister expressed the hope
that the members of Parlaament in
nominating constituency legistrars
and assistants would pay no heed to
party affiliations except tnat when
the best man available for registrar
was a known party man n;s assistant shculd be of opposite po1!-
tics so there would be no politics
in the appointment of the official
under them or at least a fair
division.
The registration subdivision will
be divided into four areas and the
people ln each area w .1 register ,n
a given day so as not to clutter up
the machinery by all comiiag on one
day.
The understanding ia the Defence Department does not wish
to mobilize more forces for home
defence before September 1 .nd
by that time the registration ie-
turns should all be checked and
classified.
The Defence Department for example will decide when it is ready
to open up a camp for say 40 days'
training of 3000 men for home defence. A district about each ramp
will be plotted nnd be called upon
to supply the men for the particular camp.
In this case the requisition of
2000 men would Le handed over to
the Provincial Registration Headquarters and from the rc".s the
Judge would designate what r.-en
could be called up without hindering other spheres cf war effori. For
example men on farms would not
be called up during mr-teiung or
Fall work.
Be Prepared Is
Ralston Message
OTAWA, July 9 (CP) - "Our
job is to be prepared for whatever
may come," Defence Minister J.
L. Ralston told the fighting forces
of Canada in a special message tonight.
The Minister said world conditions made it impossible to tell
what lay ahead.
Speaking for himself, Navy Minister Designate A. L. Macdonald and
Air Minister Power, Col. Ralston
pointed out that physical fitness,
discipline and training form the
foundation of preparation for the
fighting services.
"We ask everybody to make the
very best use of the things we have
and to use their brains and ingenuity to keep going full speed. The
enemy works Sundays and holidays
as well as week days and nights as
well as days. And so shall we because victory depends directly upon
the untiring energy and effort of us
all.
"The Department of National Defence must spare no effort to provide the personnel and manpower,
The task of providing equipment is
not being allowed to lag for a moment. The abrupt cutting oft of
major sources of supply and the
greatly increased requirements
which the changes in the last two
months have called for are making
tremendous demands on purely Canadian production."

Ships and Planes
Pursue Force to
Continue Battle
Italians Make Off Behind Smoke Screen as
British "Contact Enemy"; One Shell
Makes Direct Hit on Italian Ship
LONDON, July 10 (Wednesday) —(CP).— A British
shell struck an Italian battleship Tuesday in the opening round
of,the naval battle that the world has been awaiting ever since
Mussolini entered the war.
Early today British ships and airplanes were in pursuit of
an Italian naval force with which the Royal Navy opened battle
yesterday, within a few hours after the Britons had swept the
French fleet from the seas.
The Admiralty announced the fight. It stated a long-
range hit was scored by a British capital ship upon an Italian
battleship after the British force came upon two Italian battleships and smaller craft.
Further information was being awaited, the Admiralty
said.
The Rome Government was silent,
but Stefanl, the Italian news and
propaganda agency, put out a host
ot claims that the actl&n had favored the Italians.
These claims, as made public In
London by Reuters News Agency,
were to the effect that Italian airplanes had sunk a British cruiser
and damaged other British ships off
Crete, in one engagement, and that
in another, near the "boot' ot Italy,
Fascist naval forces were pursuing" the British.
The Admiralty announced the
commander in chief of the Mediterranean naval forces said contact was
made with an Italian force consisting df two battleships, and a number of eight-inch and six-inch gun
cruisers and destroyers.
The Admiralty's pi.hle account
continued:
"Almost Immediately after contact was gained the enemy retired
behind a smoke screen laid by
their destroyers but before the
enetny waa obscured one nit at
extreme range was obtained by
one of our capital ships on an
Italian battleship.
"At the time of receipt of this
Information the enemy was being
pursued. The enemy ships were
also attacked by our fleet ait
arm aircraft."
Then the Admiralty said It was
waiting for more details of this first
clash of British sea power with Italy
which is threatening the Empire
life-line through the Mediterranean.
The Admiralty said that simultaneously with the operations ln the
central Mediterranean, another
force based on Gibraltar earned out
a sweep toward the central Mediterranean. _
Four enemy aircraft were destroyed by this latter force. Seven
others were damaged, with three
"unlikely to return to their base.
This unit of the British force did
not meet surface vessels, the Admiralty said.
A Reuters News Agency dispatch from Rome iaid the Italian
(Stefanl) News Agency claimed
that wave after wave of Italian
bomben attacked the British warships and after a "battle that raged until 9 p.m." Italian naval
forcet "pursued" the British ships
to the South.
The Italians claimed that a British
battleship and aircraft carrier were
damaged, and a cruiser was sunk.
The Italian news source account
of the fight, Reuter said, placed the
action near the island of Crete,
South of Greece and between the
British naval base at Alexandria
and Italy.
Admiral Sir Andrew Cunningham
is commander ln chief of the Mediterranean fleet, and his flagship is
the 30,000 ton Warsplte which took
part in the second battle of Narvik last April 13.
During the First Great War as
captain of the Destroyer Scorpion
Admiral Cunningham won fame by
daring operations ln Mediterranean
The only previous British-Italian
sea fight occurred June 27 when a
light British naval force sank thc
Italian destroyer Espero.

surplus of water at tht Five-Mile
Creek Intake, but that the City distribution system wat Inadequate to
serve all sections of the City properly when householders and business placet ln the lowtr levels were
drawing heavily:
HEAVY WASTE
Night sprinkling of gardens to
the point where "thousands of gallons were running down the
streets Into catch basins, while in
some sections householders could
not obtain water even for domestic
purposes, was not fair, Aid. T. H.
Waters  contended. ,
Alderman Sharp was concerned
with the condition of the lawn at
Lakeside Park, asserting that
thousands of people are using the
park" and they should not suffer
while water was wasted st other
points. His remark grew out of the
Council's restriction of sprinkling
at the Park, the cemetery and on
boulevards during periods of heavy
demand.
It was suggested the Fire Department might carry out Its pumping practices at Lakeside Park as
well as anywhere and so help out;
or alternatively that a pump could
be installed at the Park to use lake
water.
DISTRIBUTION  FAULTY
Many sections of the City could
not be properly served, Mayor N. C.
Stibbs declared, unless sprinkling
regulations were invoked, because
the distribution system was not adequate. The growth of the City had
resulted in more services off some
mains than there should be, he
said, and until this was remedied
such sections could not be terved
ln competition with other, more
adequately served sections.
Alderman. Sharp insisted he was
opposed to restrictions until there
was an actual shortage, though he
agreed an appeal should be made
to householders to avoid wasting
water. He would not oppose restriction if there was an actual
shortage, he declared.
"We've g6t the rottentst kind of
restrictions now," commented Alderman Waters. "Those who can get

Plan of Rearing
Pond al Hatchery
Plans for a fish rearing pond at
the Nelson fish hatchery, now in
the hands of Nelson District Rod
and Gun Club members, will be submitted immediately to city officials
in order that an estimate of the
cost may be obtained.
When a Rod and Gun Club delegation consisting of J. J McEwen,
President, John C. B. Wallach,
George Fleury and P. E. Poulin,
waited on the Council Tuesday
night to urge action in construction
of ponds, it developed that neither
the Club nor the Council was clear
on what was to be done, nor by
whom it was to be done.
Council members, expressing
sympathy toward the proposal to
build retring ponds—not only is
part of the beautification plan at
the park surrounding the hatchery
but also to aid in building up tourist trade—asked for the plans as a
first step toward taking action.

On Silica Street we hive used
gravel from the Roiemont pit for
building up the grade adjoining the
two new blocks of concrete curbs

in cases where it is not intended to
lay hard surface, it Is found better
to use this gravel. Wt hive given

produced at the gravel pit has been
hauled to our Winter storage pile on

In the early part of the period we
ran the diesel cat and road grader

Department of National Defence for Naval Affairs, and Hon. J. L.
Ilsley becomes Finance Minister, in the Canadian Government.
At Canadian Gathering In New York
same terms offered earlier to the
French Commander at Oran.
The measures Britain has taken
have removed a source of "grave
anxiety", he aaid, thanking the Naval itaff which planned "these opera'
tlom Immediately following the
completion of the evacuation (from
France) in the face of the enemy
troops and refugeei totilling not
less thin 000,000,"
'Thii Is the greatest achievement
of Its kind in the hlitory of naval
operatloni-^a remarkable tribute to
the value of our seapower, a power
which we do not Intend to lose,"
Mr. Alexander told the cheering
House.
The action accounted for all of
the French battleships except the
Jean Bart, a sister ship of the Richelieu still far from completion. .
France had eight capital ships
when the armistice was signed, he
said, accounting for" them thus:
Three ln British control, one sunk,
one badly damaged and immobilised, one driven aihore at Oran
and Incapacitated for months if
not permanently, one which escaped to the naval base at Toulon
after being hit by a torpedo, and
the Jean Bart.
Mr. Alexander disclosed that the
Royal Navy had engaged in two further operations since its attack July
3 on French units at Oran to ensure
that France's fleet be kept from
German and Italian hands.
Seven French capital ships now
have been accounted for, he declared.
The depth charges which crippled the Richelieu were dropped
from a motorboat close under the
stern to damage propellors and
steering gear," Mr. Alexander said,
while aircraft dropped torpedoes.
All the attackers escaped safely,
he said.
Tha motorboat, thl First Lord
told tht Houstt waa t ship's boat
under Lieut.-Cmdr. R. H. Briitowe
which wu tent into the harbor ind
cirrled cut iti mission "with great
daring." ■
These four alternatives were offered the French Commander, Mr.
Alexander said.
1. That the Richelieu nil with i
reduced crew under escort to t
British port;
2. That she sail with a reduced
crew to a French port in the West
Indies where she could be demilitarized:
3. That she be demilitarized In
Dakar within 12 hours;
4. That she would be lunk within a time limit
No satisfactory reply was received
within the time limit, he declared.
The other naval action since the
attack at Oran mentioned by Mr.
Alexander was the raid by British
aircraft July 6 on the battleship
Dunkerque.  *
It already had been disclosed that
British fliers scored six hlti on
the damaged, grounded, 26,500-ton
French capital ship July 6, and Mr.
Alexander said the aerial attack
would incapacitate her for a long
time.
Telling of the raid on the Richelieu, the First Lord said:
"On July 7, the flag officer entrusted with these operations sent
one of his captains ahead in a sloop
ln order to present the terms in
person.
"On arrival, this ihip wai Informed by French luthorltlei that they
would be fired on If she approached
close to the port, and it wai only
after an interval that the Frencn
consented to receive this communication by signal."
Aerial reconnaissance ifter the
attack established that the Richelieu was listing to port, down by
the stem and surrounded by a large
quantity of oil, he said.
While the motorboat was "still In
the harbor, Mr. Alexander related,
her enginei broke down and she
lay helpless for a time, but the
crew succeeded in getting one engine running lust as they were discovered. The boat was pursued, but
managed to escape by crossing harbor defence nets which fouled the
propellor ot its pursuer, he said.
Paying tribute to the bravery of
the motorboat crew, the Firit Lord
said it was obvious that all aboard
ran the risk of blowing themselves
up.
The main attack was entrusted to
the Fleet Air Arm later, he said,
and a number of aerial torpedoes
hit the Richelieu.
He said the crew of the motor-
boat, still In the harbor, witnessed
the attack, and reported seeing
smoke pour from the battleship after five explosions were heard.
Despite heavy anti-aircraft fire.
he reported, all the British planes
returned safely.
The Jean Bart, sister ship of the
Richelieu, remains, but.her construction will not be completed for
some months to come, Mr. Alexander said.

Italy's Navy Was
Anxious lor War
LONDON, July 9 (OP)—Infonm-
ed sources asserted today that a
desire of the Italian Navy to achieve "glory" comparable to that
gained by Italy's army and Air
Force in Ethiopia and Spain was a
factor in Italian entrance into the
war.
They sal dthe navy nda shown
a definitely "pro-war" attitude for
some time.
These sources said they believed
Italy would be unable "at present"
to replace submarines at the rate
British forces are sinking them, estimated generally to exceed the
rate of destruction of German submarines.
They estimated 80 per cent of all
Italian naval personnel had been
conscripted.
These sources said the new 35,000
ton battleship Vittorio Veneto and
Littorio "probably" had completed
their trials, but suggested that
Italy might "prefer" to keep them
out of action in the Immediate future.
The same sources estimated that
Italy's battleship strength at five
ships, including the Vittorio Veneto, the Littorio and three 27,000-
ton vessels which have been reconstructed.
They recalled that the Italian Naval Under-Secretary, in a statement a month ago, had said that
construction of two new cruisers
wai being delayed "in favor" of
new destroyers and submarines.
This iction wis interpreted here
as due to a shortage of material.

called in connection with the removal to Canada of the youngsters.
"British Columbia will receive at

said in a statement Issued to the
press. "Our plans ire well advanced, thanks to the mahlnery built
up by the Child Welfare Branch,

BUCHAREST, July 9 (AP). -
Rumanian soldiers with rifles and
bayonets threw cordons around
the offices of the foreign oil com-
paneis today to prevent the removal of plans or papers concerning Rumania's  rich oil fields.
Simultaneously, a report ipread
that the British were negotiating
to sell their oil interests in this
Balkan Kingdom to Russia.
It is estimated approximately
$100,000,000 of British capital is
invested in this country's oil industry. Rather than let these holdings fall under German control
through possible development! the
British Interests are believed willing to transfer them to Moscow.
ASK ALL UNEMPLOYED
TO BE CONSCRIPTED
FOR HOME DEFENCE
TORONTO, July 9 (CP) - Hon.
Harry G. Nixon, acting Premier of
Ontario, said today the Ontario
Government will ask the Federal
Government to conscript all phys-
icslly fit unemployed persons for
Home defence, Irrespective of age.
OTTAWA, July 9 (CP)-Prepan-
tions for national registration of
Canadians to mobilize tnem for war
duties will begin at once, Government sources Indicated today.
Mr. Justice T. C. Davis of the
Saskatchewan Court of Appeal is
expected to arrive here today to
become, along with Major-General
L. R. LaFleche, Joint Deputy Minister of National War Services Department, under Hon. J. G. Gardiner.
During the First Great War conscription for overseas service did
not await national registration. The
conscription law waa proclaimed
calling single persons withouf dependent! between the ages of 20
and 34 years to present themselves
for enlistment. Exemption tribunals
were set up for those who claimed
exemption under the ict of that
time.
Prime Minister King said last
week ln Parliament that mobilisation would not await national registration, so some system similar to
that used in the First Great War
will likely be employed, with the
difference that ln the present case
men mobilized under the Mobilization Act will not be liable for service overseas unlesa they so volunteer.
No definite decision will be reached as to what ages will be called
up until the Department has been
organized, or how the mobilization
will be carried out.
While there will be no exemptions within the agee decided upon,
and the measure will apply to married as well as single men, those
who can best be spared from their
normal occupations and with least
family responsibilities will be called
up first. Some of the others may
be expected to train at night while
not actually being mobilized.

TOKYO, July 9 (API-Informed
quarters asserted today Japan Is
prepared to take military action
against H6ng Kong if Britain continues refusal to close the Burma
route of war supplies to Chlni.
These sources said Japanese plans
are complete and merely iwait
London's reply to a requeit for reconsideration of the  refusal.
They pointed to the removal of
women and children from Hong
Kong as an Indication of the seriousness with which Britain views
the situation.
The Japanese cabinet decided today to send new representations to
Britain, and Domei, Japanese News
AgeniT, said the ministers expressed "strong opinions" in their meeting.

LONDON, July 9 (CP)—The Gov-
ernment has received a report from

HAPPINESS, C. 0. D.
CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR
Gayle drummed a tattoo on Bill
Bailey's door with her fingers.
"Bill!" She waited a moment and
drummed again. "Bill!''
She heard a stirring, then a sleep-
laden, "Yes?"
"Get up! The sun is out and the
birds are singing. And anyway, 1
want to go walking with you before breakfast."
More stirring, then—"Not interested in sunshine, or birds."
She smilad at thc oaken door.
"Or breakfast, or m_"
"Yeah, I like breakfast."
"So!"
"All right, all right, you too. Ltt
me get a robe on, can't you?"
- He turned the knob and poked
a tousled head out then, smiling
happily. Sleep had worked its miracle, last evening's gloom had fad-
ed. "What's the idea, disturbing a
gentleman in lhe—"
"Hush and gu dress. I'll wait on
the front porch. Comb vour hair,
too." She reached quickly to pull
■t one of the black crinkles that his
pillow had ironed down near to his
eye, then she laughed and left him.
He came down in whites—white
duck trousers, white sox and shoes,
a white sport shin, that laced part
way down, his big chest, and that
had very short sleeves. He had
shaved hurriedly, so that he now
looked like a youth of 17, pink and
plump and pretty. Gayle told bun
that.
"Your voice will even be changing soon, I betcha!" she concluded.
He grabbed at her in mock fury.
She dodged, ran, shrieked and ran
faster. There was no escaping him,
though, ln a moment he had her
in his powerful grip. As if she were
a little sister aged 10 or so, he lifted
her bodily up onto his shoulder
and carried her across the lawn on
a trot. Quite by chance he circled
aome massed shrubery and came
within sight of the old Merrifield
swimming pool.
"Ah ha!" he cried, suddenly. The
pool, thoroughly reconxtioned and
repainted, had been filled. Even
' now its water caught llie Springtime dawn and reflected colors. The
faintest wind ripple made patterns
there.
"Bill Bailey, what are you going
to do?" Gayle suddenly cried.
"Wake a gentleman up at midnight, will you1 Disturb a thinker
at his sleep Pound on his door like
a blacksmith, and drag him out
into thc cold. Ha! Vcangeance is
'mine!"
She began a terrific squirming
and kicking and flailing and pleading, half-laughing and half-fright,
encd at the same time. The more
■-she wngj.lcri, the faster he ran-
and Ihe higher up he held her in his
■powerful arms. All at once they
'"Were   at   the   edge   nf   Ihepool.
"EE-YEOW!" he yelled, and threw
,Jicr in.
She har barely hit the water—in
the part marked nine feet deep-
when he had dived in headlong.
■8he struck mi her side, but Bill's
dive was a graceful head-first. He
cut through the water to come under her. In a matter of seconds he
had gripped her again and was
holding her face up in  lhe air.
"I — hope — you can swim!" lie
shrieked, through the drip.
"I can't swim a stroke!" she sto.
rled. "I hope you—drown—with mo
—hateful thing! O-o-o-o-oh!"
She leaped at him then, plumped
both hands onto his head and quite
thoroughly soused him. She used
the leverage lo step up onto his
submersed shoulders and plunge
away, Wlvn he sputtered lo the
aurlace "(igain  she   was sitting on
the blue tiled side of the pool,
grimacing at him and squeezing
ner hair.
"I" hate you until the year 2000!"
she avowed. "I spent hours primping this morning. Hair-do, nails,
face, everything. Now look at my
curls! Or ex-curls."
In her own estimstlon she was
a 6orry looking mess. Bill, though,
looked at her appreciatively still.
Her hair, cut in a long bob, was a
tangle of wet, straw-colored material which captured golden points of
sunlight now. The water had no
whit damaged the color of her
checks and lips, and BiU doubted
that the color was artificial anyway.
'"I'm sorry about your dress,'' he
apologized, suddenly earnest. "I'll
have it cleaned."
She smiled forglvenes. "No, it's
an old one. Washes easily. I wear
it mornings, some."
"It's beautiful on you, Gayle! It
was. and it still is, even wet!"
"Silly!"
"I mean It Gayle, you're so very
pretty!"
"I don't care. There's no harm in
telling the truth occasionally, is
there?"
She laughed > little, sweetly, happily. "Thanks, Bill. You're nice
yourself. You feel good today. Much
better than yesterday, don't you?"
"Yep. But I got to face that again
this morning. Matter of fact." He
climbed up and sat beside her,
flipping water off himself with a
finger. "We've got to stir up something for those girls, or I have. Been
resting after the play, and getting
my neck into trouble, doggone it!"
"The girls needed to relax, I imagine. Anyway, it was a good thing
for Jeremy. He has shown remarkable progress of late, Bill."
"Yeah"
"And Bill—the first play, 'Maid to
Measure,' was such a success that I
think you'd be foolish not to do another one immediately. Don't you?
You're awfully wet."
"I agree. So are you. Cold?"
"We are well advertised. Not
much. I'm glad the pool Is ready,
Is.'t it beautiful!"
"The newspapers put us across
and we cleared most of the $600. If
you want to swim a little bit more
you might as well, since we're already wet."
They dived in and swam briefly,
then crawled out on the other side.
He held her hand as they walked
briskly back toward the mansion,
and they planned more activity for
The Oaks.
Mr. Merrifield, rubbing hia hands.
in a sort of tribute to the beauty of
the morning, suddenly espied them,
and came off the porch in some
alarm.
"You are all wet!" he exclaimed.
"Are you—did you have an accident?"
"She sassed me and I threw her
in Ihe pool." Bill explained, grinning, "women should be treated
rough."
Slowly, then, the old fellow smiled, visibly relaxing. He sighed audibly. "I live in fear that something
may happen to spoil It all," he murmured, as If to himself.
"Spoil what, Mr, Merrifield?"
Gayle looked up at the tall, gray
old man.
"All of this—you, and young Bailey, and all the other girls, and all
the renewed life you hava brought
here. Has it not been priceless?
For years I lived here In a matter
of-fact world, my dear! You cannot
begin to understand. You won't—
you won't let anything end it, will
you?"
His face showed such an earnest
ness u the young couple had never
seen before. Bill was deeply impressed.
"Not if I can possibly help it, Mr.
Merrifield," Gayle declared,
"Right, sir," Bill nodded. "It's a
peculiar job you hired us for, but
if you like the way we're doin_[—"
"Jeremy Is a new man!"
"He Is lest shy," Gayle sgrecd.
"Really he is."
"If you have no objections, sir,
we expect to present another play.
Gayle and I have just been discussing it. The first one was quite a
success. People liked it and we
cleared enougli money to more than
pay all our salaries—1 mean, all
the six girls' salaries — and expenses to date, so we reasoned
that-"
Mr. Merrifield Interrupted. "I
have created a special fund of that
money, son, for a special charity
use, I shall add to It. You have
managed well and I compliment
you. Just remember, whatever you
two plan, to create happiness first.
Happiness for yourselves, for Jeremy, for the six young ladles who
have become a part of our living
here. I do not meet with them so
often. Are they pleased with their
work here? Arc Ihey happy?"
Bill and Gayle looked quickly at
each other. Each knew the other
thought of Lola Montesa. Of the
fact that one of the six was a thelf.
And yet Mr. Merrifield must not be
annoyed by petty things!
"The girls, naturally, take a little
more time adjusting themselves,"
Gayle hedged adroitly. "But they
have been thoroughly thrilled by
staying here, and working here, Mr.
Merrifield. They have come to love
you. as we all do."
To love you. To love you.
Old Mr. Merrifield murmured
that phrase once and again, to himself. He was not even looking at
the wet young couple standing
there. He hooked thumbs under his
suspenders and stared meditatively
off across the lawn, thinking, daydreaming. Bill and Gayie walked
quietly away.

Apple Beneficial
In Case of Colic
By  LOGAN .CLENDENING,  M.  O.
"Yea." said Dr. Adrian Gibbs to
tha mother. "I know that the cause
of this child's colic Is .eating apples
and I know it sounds queer to
vou for me to tell him to eat applet.
Yet I want you to fix the apples
ln a certain particular way.
"Take a food Jonathan apple
and pare lt. and then take a spoon
and scrape around and around until you get a nice mush and then
feed It to our little Mend here a
small amount at a time in the
course of the next hour or two.
AN, EFFECTIVE CURE
"I have been doing this for years
and It Is only recently that I find
myself in fashion and having soma
authority behind me. Some European scientists began to use raw
apple pulp and apple powder In
different kinds df Intestinal disorders Including Summer complaint In infants and children several years ago I do not really believe that this child's diarrhea
comes from eating applet, It Is
probably an Infection but at any,
rate the apple will do lt good, whatever ls the matter.
'It appears there ls something
ln apple fiber that is called "pectin*
that is supposed to do the work.
Don't aak me too much about pectin because I don't understand lt
myself although I have read all
the scientific literature on the subject. AH that I got out of the last
article I read waa that there were
1000 cases of diarrhea of all kinds
studied and 98 pej cont of them
responded to the use of scraped
raw apple pulp.
"You can give as much as two
heaping teaspoonfuls of this to the
baby with prospects of benefit, If
you spread the dosage out over a
couple of hours. For older people
it Is bast to withhold all food for
threa or four days, except for a
glass of water containing scraped
apple, at three or four hour intervals.

better, don't feed any solid food
for three or four d,v_ g've » h'nt
but custards and egg. I should classify raw milk as a solid food: It
ecomes solid as soon aa it gets into
the stomach.
"If It Is any comfort to you, you
may also know that thla raw apple
pulp contains Vitamin A and that
Is supposed to have some beneficial
action also
"I understand that you can get
dried apple powder now at the
drug store, but _ see no reason for
going to that trouble and expense
when you can take a nice raw apple yourself and if you scrape it In
front of the baby, it will probably
Increase his aopetite for it and the
very smell will make him feel better right away."
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
C. E. N.—"Is there more suffering from heat today than back in
the 'horse and buggy' days?"
Answer—Certainly not. With the
use of electric fans, air conditioning and the availability of the
automobile to carry people to the
seashore and lakeside, our position is far better than our ancestors in the "horse and bu.ffv" days.
As a matter of fact, statistics show
that heat prostrations have been
reduced in the last decade about
50 per cent over the period of
twenty or thirty years ago.
B. R.: "Please tell me how to
obtain Vitamin E other than In
wheat germ oil and green vegetables. I am under the impression
that it can be had ln concentrated
form,"
Answer: It has recently been
isolaetd in concentrated form bu'.
the process U Very expensive and
the product correspondingly expensive. It can be obtained when
a patient with a rare form of paralysis needs It, but it is not necessary for the average person to
obtain It in this way because in an
average diet there is plenty of
Vitamin E to take care of the
need_.
Styled to a Tee
By PRUNELLA WOOD
How's   your   game?   Here's   a
dress designed especially for the
golfer who wants all the freedom
of her stroke without hampering
her style Nobody would hesitate
to have luncheon or a cool drink
on the country club terrace dressed ln this shlrtmaker. At tha
sama time, the wearer has every
advantage In action on tht course.
Two pleats ln the skirt front and
back, and a special under-arm
treatment bring tha score downward. Naturally, this frock won't
be bought by'golfers alone, but
will be snatched up time and
again by those who have a tendency to rip shoulder and arm
seams.
Pastel shades as well as vivid
are available In the sleek, cool
crepe.

By GARRY C. MYERS, Ph.D.
I believe lt would do ut parent!
food to recall some teachers of
our children or of our childhood
we have admired, to note some of
the splendid things they have done
tnd observe some of the lovable
trails tbey possess.
All of ut have known that teacher whom the little child almost
worshipped In the early years at
achool; who wu quoted and re-
tarred to as tht final authority in
many matters arising in the family
conversation, Wt tully could be
wrong, but that teacher, never.
Some of ut may even have entertained faint Jealous feelings of the
teacher who had io completely captivated the confidence and affections of our child.
DEEP RESPECT
Also that teacher wt know,' to
whom tha older children, even high
school students, refer always with
great respect, whose sympathetic
understanding attitude, whose constant effort, at being fair and just,
whosa kindliness, whose honesty,
whoee humility, whott humsn Interest In etch pupil u a sacred
personality, ire on many occasions
described by our children or thtlr
playmates.
We know that teacher whose
speech movement and appearance
bespeak culture and refinement.
We like to meet her and be in her
presence. We count our children
fortunate to be In the classroom
with such a teacher. It is the quiet,
sweet-voiced teacher who is most
claiming to us and our children.
We wish we might imitate her well-
managed voice, and we wish that
all other teachers were, in this
respect, like her.
We parents know teachers who
make us feel auured that they are
personally interested in tach of
their puplli as ao individual different from all others. Our children know that such teachers have
a very high regard for their personality. How our children strive
to do well for these teachers.
MASTERS OP SELVES
Teachers we know, moreover,
who tre perfect muters of themselves, who are completely self-
controlled, no matter what happens; whose composure is no near,
ly perfect and so contagious that
our children acquire poise ln their
presence. Too bad there ll not some
way to have such teachers properly rewarded. Yet they do reap
a rich reward in the Joyousness
they afford their pupils and the
wholesome atmotphere for mental
health they help create for their
school children.
Some of the teachers s^nd out
also in our minds u powerful at
imbuing our children with high
ideals, with the wish to live good
lives and to grow always as good
citizens.
Yet, there are some bad teachers; but why not keep our eyes on
the good ones with the hope that
our children might have mort like
them?

Skin Care ...
Good (osmetics
Should Be Used
With Confidence
By DONNA GRACE
Recently, wa were told hy an
anxious woman that a certain well-
known cream was simply awful and
would ruin any skin. She admitted
she had never used It, but she knew
lt was bad.
After soma conversation, wa
learned she knew someone who told
her the whole thing was made up
on a soap base and certainly would
be bad for any skin. Why, we want
to know?
There art any number of good
creams that may have soap u an
Ingredient. The real virtue in soma
of tht vanishing creams Is that the
refined soap mixture doea a tho-
rough cleansing of tht surface, and,
to the amasement of the user, may
mtke the skin look many shades
lighter.
However, formulu of many of
the better creami do not include
soap, but will have the lame satisfactory affect. Tht manufaaturlng
of all cosmetics Is a highly scientific business, and. li done under
strictest supervision, The imall
■mount of soap used In some acts
nof only as a good cleanser, but,
according to the modern physician.
Is a good antiseptic.
We do know this—that the skin
that has frequent association with
good soap and water Is likely to be
firm, fine-textured and healthy.
We do not advise the exclusive
use of vanishing creami, but they
htve their Importance In quick
cleansing, and may be used ai a
makeup base for those with oily
type skin.'
Soap, however, should really
havt no other function except to
cleanse the surface, and wa believe
lt should be removed by rinsing.
This applies to the average vanishing creams. Some-of the Hollywood
stars have long mtde a practice of
covering tht face with these vanishing creami, following with plenty
of warm water, just as If soap Instead of cream wu uied.
Whut wt Know ail products are
not perfect, we believe one should
not make a. practice of worrying
about new mixtures ind trying to
delve Into tht formulu. Every
formula is the private property of
the manufacturer. He It not going
to tell us how It Is compounded,
and we don't care. All we want it
a good product, and there are plenty of those.
Every, manufacturer wants hli
own producti to be the best he can
make up. He Is smart enough to
know quality sells, and selling ii
his buslnets.

French Fleet Yields to
British at Alexandria
ALEXANDRIA. July 9 (AP). -
French naval authorities here
agreed today to turn over the entire French fleet at Alexandria to
the Royal Navy.
The French are arranging transportation to France of the crews of
all the warships.
(The French fleet at Alexandria
was described by Prime Minister
Churchill July 4 as one or more
battleships, four cruisers ("three of
them modern, eight-gun vessels")
and a number of smaller ships).
The French decision removed the
possibility of a naval action here
such as occurred- at Oran, Algeria,
July 3, and left the British fleet
tree to move more of its power
against the Italians ln the Mediterranean.
A French steamship was reported
to have sailed with approximately
S0Q members of crews of French
warships who had asked repatriation. The French liners Athos and
the Providence are expected to take
the remaining sailors who are returning home.
An undetermined number of
French officers and seamen who
elected to continue the fight alongside the British are staying aboard
their ships awaiting orders.
The newspaper Le Reforme published a British Admiralty order
permitting the repatriation of
Frenchmen who prefer going home
to continuing the war.
The following official statement
was issued by British authorities on
the surrender of the French ships:
"In the Mediterianean fleet, the
closest comradeship and goodwill
have existed between Ailed forces
conducting the war from Alexandria.
"As soon as it was realized that
France must surrender, consultations were held between the (British) Commander - in - Chief and
I French) Admiral Godfroy at that
time in the hopes that it might be
possible to continue the fight side
by side.
"When terms of the armistice were
made known, It became evident
that a new situation had developed,
and Admiral Godfroy was therefore asked to consider various proposals on the lines of those sent at
Oran.
"Seeing that in a foreign harbor,
In the presence of a greatly superior
British fleet, there was no possibility of taking the French ships to
sea, and that an attempt would only
endanger valuable French lives, tt
was agreed by (French) Admiral
Godfroy:
1. To put his ships ln a condition
In which they could not go to sea.
"This was done by reducing the
oil on board so that there was sufficient only for harbor purposes.
"1 To demilitarise the shi^s. This
was done by landing certain portions of armament and placing them
under the care of French authorities ashore.
"3. To reduce the crews, In order
to leave sufficient only for care and
maintenance. This is being done now
and crews who are leaving are being sent to Syria, to be sent to
France later as decided by the
French Admiralty.
"For their part the British Government have guaranteed supplies
and the pay of men running the
maintenance of the ships, and also
their return to France at the end
of the war.
"This is how matters stand at
present. It Is hoped these conditions
may continue.
"In the Eastern Mediterranean,
terrible events of which we' all
know have been avoided, and the
best hope is that our good relations
here may continue as before. Our
only wish throughout has been to
make sure that Italians and Germans should not possess French
ships in order to use them against
the British who still are fighting on
to defeat Germany and Italy, and to
reestablish France."

Force announced today.
Diredawa is on the Jibuti-Addis

Italian Ethiopia.
Today's Royal Air Force communique said:
"Numerous reconnaissance flights
were carried out in the course of
the 24-hour period under review,
and much valuable data was obtained.
"Bombing aircraft raided Diredawa and scored direct hits on railway workshops. Enemy fighters attempted to intercept without success.
"An Important enemy bas* at
Zula was attacked by our bombers
and direct hits were obtained on a
jetty and on stores. Two fires were
started, accompanied by much black
smoke. One enemy aircraft was en.
gaged and shot down into the sea.
At Massa, direct hits were registered
on camp buildings, causing considerable damage."

Gen. McNaughton
Pays Tribute lo
'Outside7 Forces
By EDWIN JOHN80N
Canadian Press Staff Writer
SOMEWHERE IN ENGLAND, July 9 (CP Cable)—Watching men of
the Canadian Active Service Force
deploy repadly over a section of the
home front, Major-General A. G. L.
McNaughton, General Officer Commanding the Canadian First Division, told a party of Canadian newspaper men today "that by constant
movement we are trying to leave
the enemy in doubt that will be
paid for in valuable lives."
The General said he wished to
pay tribute to forces outside the
military setup, declaring. "They are
a defensive force inside the citadel
who are simplifying procedure and
are facing up to facts."
Gen. McNaughton said the division was being given a particular
assignment and every request for
assistance was being met promptly
as conditions permitted.
He said he was satisfied the people at home were fully awake, adding that "one has a feeling that Canada is going on with a big job."
Modern armies are not much good
without the necesary instruments ot
war, he said, because "you can't
put bare breasts against machine
power".
Tactics of improvement are going
on day by day, and "we are constantly on the alert." he said, adding the warning that "there is no
use basing our plans on wishful
thinking."
He referred to the stepped-up
mobility of a modern striking force
compared with the slower moving
armies of the past. Hhe said the
enemy probably could put thousands of men on a coast "quicker
than we could meet them," but
through superior mobility and
speedier concentration" we have a
better chance of repelling an invasion."

FRENCH IMMUNITY ONLY TEMPORARY
France, under the respective armistice with Germany
and Italy, retains seven out of 17 principal French cities,
the other 10 being in occupied territory.
So far she has not been deprived of her colonies.
But who imagines there would be any French Empire
left if the British should fail to reestablish European free-
dom?
There are three points to remember:
1. Worthless as any pledges made by Hitler and Mussolini are, if made, in the case of France's colonies none have
been made.
2. Hitler expressly put in the armistice conditions,
and France accepted this provision, that the final dispositions and demarcations would be made in the peace treaty
>. after the war was over.
\ ' 3. Mussolini, in announcing the Italian armistice,
'stated to the world that it could be revoked at any time
Without notice.
In other words, neither Germany nor Italy is bound,
even by one of its worthless promises, to leave France ultimately in possession of either its own sacred soil, or of its
colonies.
As a mater of fact, what Hitler, the dominant partner
in the Axis, wants at present, is France's fighting equipment-navy, tanks, artillery, planes — of course to use
against Britain, the promised demilitarization being, we
may assume, a form of words.
We know that the Petain Government, when it asked
for terms, was expecting to lose colonies, for one of fts
members broadcast the hard terms it would be prepared to
accept Handing over of the fighting equipment may have
Jieen the price for momentary immunity of the colonies.
/ When the Axis Powers decide to dismember the French
Empire, France will have not a soldier or a gun, and will
have to wait for the British victory—against which the
Petain Government is doing all possible—to recover her
liberty and her possessions.
IT PAYS^TO MAKE REPRESENTATIONS
"Why bother making representations, that will not be
acted upon, and that will only be pigeon-holed? I can employ my time to better effect otherwise!"
This is the attitude taken by many citizens in the
average community, when some question comes up of trying
to get something done.
If this defeatist attitude had inspired the mining men
if the Kootenay , there would never have been a lead
bounty. They and the Boards of Trade fought for it, year in
and year out, till they got it.
It is simply defeatism to accept the first refusal. It
is worse defeatism to make no move at all.
One of the greatest examples in the history of this continent, of what can be accomplished by making representations, has just been recorded, in the nomination of Wendell
Wilkie as Republican candidate for the presidency of the
United States, an event to which The Daily News has already been reference.
The delegations who were to do the convention voting
had, in many cases, been named many months before. Most
of them were pledged to the aggressive candidates who had
been in the field for a year or more.
When the delegates left their homes for Philadelphia,
most of them were avowedly determined never to vote for
the \itility magnate, no matter what turn events took. As
a matter of fact, Willkie had about 1 per cent of the delegates pledged to him in advance. Politically speaking, his
nomination was an impossibility.
Now, if every deep thinking citizen in the Republican
party had said to himself: "I know that Willkie is the clearest thinking and the straightest acting business executive
in the Country and just the man to bring the Country out bf
is rut by going back to American principles, and if he could
be nominated he would carry the Country, but my voice is
only one, and there is not a chance (in the world for him,"
and had proceeded to act on that defeatist view, the nomination would have gone to some Republican "regular."
But that wasn't quite what occurred.
There was such a storm of wires to every delegate from
his "home folks," who had been reading and hearing of
Willkie, that the firmest delegatest were shaken, and when
It was realized how the common people were feeling,
delegates found themselves reconsidering.
And the result we know. The Republican convention
nomination a big business man, who two years ago still
listed himself as a Democrat, who voted for Roosevelt
twice, and who supports Roosevelt's foreign policy. It did
this unheard of thing because the "people at home" believed
in the able fight he had waged for years in defence of business, and of tried American principles, and because they
spontaneously, and without any leadership, went to the
telegraph office to make their desires known.

THOSE AIR-BORNE TANKS
One of the incidents of the Russian lightning attack
on an occupation of Bessarabia seems to have escaped
notice and comment, in the volume of weightier events,
such as the cession of the whole country desired, by
Rumania to Russia, the prospect of a descent upon Rumania by Hungary, the certainty that from now on Hitler
will have all the oil that Rumanian can supply, the Nazi-
f ication of Rumania, and other Balkan events and issues.
In other words, a new weapon was disclosed; and if
Rumania had thrown its armies against the Soviet troops,

When France capitulated, Berlin boasted that the war
upon Britain would be like nothing else in history.
According to General Krivitsky, former executive in
the Russian secret service, writing in the Saturday Evening
Post, the Russian military machine has had the advantage
of secret German guidance and supervision from soon after
the Great War, and it is not to be doubted that the airborne tank of Russia had this inspiration.

would have a peculiar utility, it would be in the case of
attack on an island, such as Britain.
Quite possibly the air-borne tank is the secret Hitler
has been holding back, for the assault on Britain. But in that
case, Stalin has given it away.
If hundreds of light tanks, or ever thousands, are
landed in Britain, no doubt a type of defence will have
been worked out, for dealing with them.
Very probably Hitler, who obviously cannot view very
favorably the westward-moving Russian armies, has, in the
tank disclosure, one more reason for being irritated with
"Friend Stalin."

Doyle Trying to
Resume Playoffs

Junior C. Y. 0. team is attempting
to have play resumed in the semifinals with Trinity so at ta decide
Senior C. Y. O.'s opponents in the
final series.
Jack Clements, one of the high
powers ot the Trinity team and
President of the League, recently
enlisted and left for Vancouver, bttt
Father Doyle, who had been Vice-
President, will likely assume the
presidential duties. Agnes Stewart
Is Secretary-Treasurer.
Trinity won the only game of the
semi-finals played so far, md another win would place them In thc
championship series. However, they
have lost several of their mainstays
besides Clements, and may find it
impossible to field a team. Disaster

The embittered senior circuit
stan, victon tn only two ot the
seven previous all-str tussles, never
gave tnelr foes t chance.
Arky Viughin of Plttiburgh PI-
fates, a "goat" in tha beating the
National League took last Summer,
led ott the aaaault on Rutting with
a scratch ilngle over Joe Gordon's
head. Billy Herman of Chicago
Cubs, who had a perfect day at
the plate with three hits, put on his
favorite play, the hit ana run, and
singled Vaughan to third. Then
Wett lotted a 360-foot four bagger
Into the right field pavilion.
Watt, Ironically, wat hurt In
tha flnt half of the next Inning
to oontlnue the all-itar itruggle'i
itrlng of caiualtiei. He crashed
Into tht right field wall In a
dtiperate leap for a liner by Ap
Sling and bruised hli left hip,
ppartntly not terlouily.
After that first-inning flurry the
game settled down to a tight rope
act and the only other run was
icored in the eighth inning wtth
Bobby Feller ot Cleveland on the
mound. Feller took over ln the
seventh.
Ha walked Mel Ott ot New York
Giants on tour straight balls and
atter Frank McCormick ot Cincinnati had sacrificed the runner to
second, Catcher Hank Danning of
New York Giants, the NaUonal
League's leading hitter, drove him
home with a sharp single to right
field.
The only error of the game occurred on this play at Catcher Rollle Hemsley of the Indiana let Lou
Finney's throw roll through him
and Danning get to second, but no
damage wit caused.
Both Manager Bill McKechnie ot
the Nationals and Joe Cronin of
the Americans captured the spirit of
tha all-star struggle as a show and
36 players got Into the game, 22
for the NaUonal League.
Derringer, who  started on  the
mound for the senior circuit worked
two innings and was the winning
pitcher.  He fanned  three batters
and   gave  up  one  hit,  Appling's
double when West was hurt.
So  perfect was  the National
League pitching that only five
balls, betides the threa hits al
lowed, went out of the Infield. No
mora than ona American Leaguer
"wai ever on base in an Inning and
a tut double play  wiped out
Newsom when he led ott with a
tingle ln the sixth.
Cronin used only three pitchen
and his choice ot Rutting, with a
record of seven and six this set-
son, as hit starting hurler, proved
fully as bad strategy as tana had
predicted.
The Yankee veteran was cuffed
tor tive hlti ln three innings he
worked. Newsom gave up one during his tour ot duty and Feller, hero
of the American League triumph
laat year, Uie other.       '
BUI Terry sits on tht Gianti'
btnch like an old woman worn out
after doing the Monday wash. He
sits for Innlngi with hia handi on
hit hips and seldom moves anything
except hli head, hands and feet
McKechnie Happy
Over Triumph of
National League
a
Ham (Deacon) McKechnie, 53-year'
old leader ot the NaUonal League
all-stars, was supremely happy today at the 4-0 triumph of his play-
era over the stars of the American
League.
"Those guys got a look at some
Sood pitching today, didn't they?"
IcKechnie asked. "It was a great
game, I'm proud ot my players.
We had a fast fielding club and a
great defensive team. Wasn't Max
Weet't clout a beauty?"
He shook the hand ot each player,
thanking them for their performance. He was particularly pleased
at the hitting of Billy Herman, Chicago Cubs' second baseman, who had
a perfect day at bat with three
singles.
McKechnie was surrounded by his
lieutenants, the veteran Casey Sten-
gel. Manager ot Boston Bees and
Doc Prothro, Manager of Philadelphia Phillies. They whooped it up
with boyish enthusiatm. •
Ford Frick, President of the National League, shouldered his way
through the perspiring players to
congratulate McKechnie. Frick wai
foUowed by William Herridge.
President of the American League,
who warmly congratulated him
also.
In contrast with the enthusiasm
tn the National League dressing
room, the American League's quarters were quiet and businesslike.
Joe Cronin, Manager ot the defeated Americans, said two words
told the whole story: "No hits."
"They pitched well, those fellows," he went on. "They looked
very good. You must know they
were good, if we couldn't hit them.'
The only happy man In the Ameri
can League's dressing room was
Louis Norman (Buck or Bobo) Newsom, Uie Detroit pitcher who had
threatened to stay away from the
game unless he was named as the
starting pitcher. He wasn'L but he
showed up anyway, and did the
best Job of the American League
hurlen.

Petain Gov't. Given
Powers to Write
New   Constitution
VICHY, France, July 9 (AR-The
French Parliament gave the Government of Premier Petain a free
hand today to write a new totalitarian constitution.
The swift Parliamentary action
virtually sealed the doom pf the
Third French Republic.
After tha Chamber of Deputies
voted 395 to 3 for a bill granting
the Petain Government full powers
to write a new constitution, the
Senate concurred with 225 votes to
only one against.
All that Is needed now ls formal
approval of the National Assembly
—composed of two Houses sitting
together. The vote in both branches
today makes the outcome at the Assembly meeting tomorrow ln the
Vichy Casino a certainty.
The three Deputies who voted
against the bill, were the Radical-
Socialist Margawne and the Socialists Jean Blond! and Vileon Roche.
These Ministers or former Ministers
were present: Camille Chautemps,
Charles Pomaret, Andre Fevriergn,
Albert Chichery.
Pierre Laval, Vice Premier, moved that there be no debate on the
bill, and the motion was accepted,
lie promised to answer questions at
another Chamber session tomorrow.
Edouard Herriot, President of the
Chamber, read the brief text of the
bill, approved last night by the
Cabinet with President Albert Lebrun presiding, and by the Chamber's Legislative Committee this
morning.
The bill now will be submitted to
the Senate, where approval by a
large majority ia considered certain,
and then it will go tb the National
Assembly, composed of both Houses
sitting together, for purely formal
approval.
It will give the Petain Government greater power than that held
by any previous Government since
tha foundation of the Third Repub-
}ie—the power to create Its own
aws and own constitution, and then
create lta own Assembly to ratify
them.
It ssid thst the constitution "must
guarantee the rights of labor, family and country."
Havas News Agency distributed a
communique of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs saying that Roger Cambon, French Charge d'Affalres in
London, who Informed the British
Foreign Office July 5 that he Could
no longer hold the diplomatic post,
had been "provisionally suspended."
Cambon'a request that he be placed on the retirement list wu refused, Havas said.
His action came after he delivered to the British Foreign Office
the French Government's protest
over the British naval attack on the
French Mediterranean fleet.
The National Assembly is to be
convened tomorrow in the Vichy
Co'sino.
This probably means the end of
the democratic Third Republic,
which followed the Empire ot Napoleon IIL
The Identify of the three Deputies who cast opposition ballots was
not ascertained Immediately. But
the Provincial press noted that Jules
Jeanneney, President and for years
/'grand old man" of the Senate, ab-
'stained from participation in any
meetings on the constitution although he was In Vichy.
(A dispatch to the Grenoble newspaper Le Petite Dauphinoia said
that Deputies going tb Vichy from
wines still occupied by the Germans were Surrounded by eager
crowds asking what life wu Uke in
those parts of the country.
(Generally, the dispatch said, "it
seems tha .there are no serious Incidents to report, but the enemy
Soke ls no leu unrelenting nor less
eavy."
(Some Deputies aald that about
1,800,000 French prisoners had been
assembled in those areas, for the
most part in concentration camps
or "marching In long; melancholy
columns along the roads.")
'Not True/ French
Crew Attempted
to Scuttle Ship
OTTAWA,  July  9   (OP)—Naval
officials here today described as
untrue a New York report that an
attempt had been made by the crew
of the 30,000-ton French liner Pas-
teur to scuttle the vessel' at anchor
tn Bedford Basin at Halifax.
'The story ls untrue," said a terse
Off-cial navy statement.
The New York report said reliable sources stated the French
crew sought to sink the vessel lut
Thursday night—the day following
the naval engagement off Mers H-
Keblr, Algeria, in which British
warships put out of action teveral
units of the French fleet to prevent
their surrender to the Germans.
Quick action, however, by the
British authorities at Halifax
thwarted the attempt to scuttle the
Puteur, the New York report said.
An armed party of Britons was
laid to have forced their way
aboard the liner just In time to
close the seacocks through which
. water already was pouring Into the
holds There was scuffling, but no
'gunfire.
Eye-witnesses uid that the following day the Puteur wu lying
alongside a Halifax dock discharging the cargo of munitions with
which she sailed from New York
June 17. the report added.
The liner, third largest vessel in
lhe Freoch Merchant Marine, was
Under command of Capt. Francois
Marie Pctiot. Carrying a normal
complement of 272 men, she was
painted a dull gray. There were
two guns on her after deck.
Not Enough Ships
I       to Take British
Children to U. S.
WASHINGTON, July 9 (AP)-
Stephen Early, President Roosevelt's Press Secretary, said today
the reuon English refugee children
are not coming to the United States
in large numbers at present was attributable largely to the fact that
most British ships are crowded with
enemy aliens being taken to Canada.
Early made the statement to reporters when questioned about criticism of the State Department's
handling of visas published in United States newspapers.
To date, Early said, the number
of refugee children for which passage has been provided by the British is nowhere near the 6500 which
United States immigration laws per-
mtt to come in from England
monthly. Until the number reaches
this quota, he added, Congress will
not be asked to raise the limitation.
"American ships are not calling
at British ports, and under the neutrality law they can not," Early
aaid. 'The responsibility for bringing the children is entirely that of
the British Government. At the
present time the British are sending
such 6hips as they have coming in
this direction with enemy aliens to
Canada, and there isn't too much
room."

French Royalists'
See New Hopes
for Restoration
BERNE, Switzerland, July 9 (CI*)
—France's forgotten family — the
House of Orleans—hopes for restoration of the throne fn the virtual
totalitarian dictatorship which Premier Petain is forming in the new
French.State.
Reports reaching Switzerland today said the Duke of Guise, claimant of the French throne, and his
young heir, the Count of Paris,
have renewed their bid for recognition, working under protection of
the Spanish Nationalist Government
at their headquarters near Larche,
Spanish Morocco.
Dispatches from Vichy, new teat
of the German-vanquished French
Government, have said tie 84-yetr-
old Premier Petain would become
"Chief of State" under a new constitution described as "corporstlvc"
—the term Italian Fascists apply to
Mussolini's Government.   '
These dispatches added that Petain would assume "only the title
of executive power"—presumably
as a figurehead—and that the Government would be dominated by a
triumvirate composed of General
Maxime Weygand, former Allied
Commander-in-Chief; former Premier Pierre Laval and former Labor
Minister Allien Marquet

8 Million Pounds
of T.N.T. Shipped
From U. S. Port
NEW ORLEANS, July S (AP)-
A new safety measure went Into
effect today as reports circulated
in shipping circles that an additional 10,000.000 pounds of high explosives for Great Britain were
en route here.
Captain J. L. Ahern of the Coast
Guard, newly-named Captain of
the port under an emergency presidential decree, said all explosives
would have to be loaded at an
anchorage more than 12 miles down
the Mississippi River from the city
proper.
A shipment of 8.500,000 pounds ot
T.N.T. released from the Government arsenal at Fort Wingate, New
Mexico, passed through here in
great secrecy more than a week
ago, and was shipped to Britain.
Subsequently lt was learned the
132-carload shipment was transferred from port docks.
News dispatches from Gallup,
N.M., yesterday said that 10,000,000
pounds of additional TNT was being loaded for shipment East, presumably New Orleans.
Captain Ahern also announced
that shipping companies, transportation companies and shipping associations would be required to
obtain from him a permit to load
and handle high explosives of wa-
terborne craft within the port
His announcement led shipping
circles to believe New Orleans
might became a major port for the
embarkation of war materials.

Rains Needed lor
Prairie Crops
OTTAWA, July » (CP). - Crone
In Northern Manitoba, Central Saskatchewan and Southern Alberta
will tall considerably below expectation unless good rains are received ihortly. The Dominion Bureau
of Statistics reported today in tht
seventh ot 1 series of weekly tele-
nhic reporti on crop conditioni
it Prime Provlncei.
Rainfall over tht Prairies during
the put week varied considerably.
Manitoba received light to moderate rains ind moiiture supplies ln
Alberta were sufficient to maintain
the favorable crop prospects.
In Saskatchewan, however, rainfall was quite light md in many
sections of the Province deteriora
tion of crops took place. In Man!
toba tht crop is well headed with
stands varying trom fair ln the
Northern jiart of the Province to
good ln Southern  sections.
In Saskatchewan about half the
wheat li In head with the best
stands 'looated in South-Central,
South-western and West-Central
areas. Heading has started in Alberta.
Cropi in tht South hivt deteriorated ind in the extreme South-
East grasshoppers hive destroyed
mott of tht stubble crop. Hall damage wu reported from scattered
polnti in Manitoba, Southern and
Central Saskatchewan and in Central Albtrtt.
To carry tht crop through to maturity, adequate moisture supplies
will be required during the next
two weeki or serious deterioration
will tike piece ln mtny areas, particularly where reserve moisture
bu been heavily drawn upon the
report uid.

U. S. Survey Show
Costs of Repair
In Flood Areas
CRESTON, B. C.-Visltors here
from Bonners Ferry, Idaho, tor the
fnternationil Joint Commluion
meeting, state that tht corpi of
trmy engineers undtr Capt. Cul-
bertson, are making iittsfactory
progress with tht survey ot the
Kootenty River between thit town
tnd Porthill.
Thert ttt 14 ln tht group tnd
thty hava been at work tor about
t\. monthi, .nd are not e::pc lg
to complete that section of the lur-
V.   until Septei.iber.
Tht very practicil intereit U. S.
Federal authorities are ihowing 1
drainage diitrlct matters In the
valley of the Kootenay ln Idaho
is due tht ftct that at leut $13. 0
hu been advanced tor repair work
on many of the 14 dyked districts.
Following tht extensive dyke
breaks ln 1938 more thin $100,000
wu advanced trom Waihington to
mike theie repairs tlont, ln addition to which advances hid been
made trom timt to tlmt for rehabilitation.
According to G. I, Crocker, Secretary of the Idaho Kootenay Valley Drainage Districts Association,
the present work ls to enable the
Army Engineers to submit to Washington the quite definite cost of
putting all the districts In shape to
withstand flooding in the light of
changed conditioni due the widening of the narrowa at Grohman
Creek, below Nelson.
The total cost of such a reconstruction program might euily run
to a quarter of a million dollars. A
thorough iob would be made, the
work contemplating the use ot a
suction dredge that would lift 30
or 40 feet from the bottom ot the
river for strengthening, and raising
the dyke leveli where necessary.
Information at present indicates
the effort may be confined solely
to the PorthiU-Bonnert Ferry lec-
tlon of the river, but recently word
wu given out that lt might cover
the entire watershed of the Kootenay River, and might require a
year or more to complete.

TO THE EDITOR,
NELSON DAILY NEWS,
NELSON, B. C.
DEAR SIR:
S.OKANE. WASH.
JULY 8.
I am being asked many questions by friends of ours In, Canada with
regard to Passports, under the new United States law which came into effect
on July 1. Naturally, Lam delighted to do anything in my power to secure
the answers to such questions.
In a letter from Sheep Creek, B. C, I have been asked:
"Can I obtain a passport from the United States Consular Office
at Trail, B. C?"
f find that many people are still under a misapprehension upon this
point. The United States Vice-Consul at Trail does not issue Canadian Passports. Canadians, by birth or naturaliiation, who desire to secure Passports
must do so through their own Government. Applications may be sent to the
Passport Officer, Department of External Affairs at Ottawa, where the regular passport good for five years and costing $5 may be obtained or the dollar passport good for one year, or, in the case of dollar passports only, application may be made to the new Passport Office which has just been opened at
Vancouver, B. C. Then, after the Canadian Passport has been obtained it is
not valid for travel in the United States until it has been visa'd by an American Consular official. These visas are granted at the office of the Vice-
Consul at Trail.
Another question which I have been asked, In this Instance by a friend
of ours from South Slocan, B. C, is whether it would be advisable to apply
now for a passport for a trip which our friend does not expect to take to the
United States until October.
My advice would be to make application immediately. Passport officials in Canada have been deluged with applications and while it is evident
that every effort is being made to get them through quickly some delays
are inevitable. I hear that the other day the Passport Officer at Ottawa had
no less than 100,000 applications fo be dealt with. This situation is being
no doubt cleared up rapidly, but there is nothing to be lost by making an
application as early as possible.
Sincerely Yours,
.1
