Some Crews Reduced ahd Many Others May
Be Reduced Today Although Rain Still
Needed; Storm Sets Three New Fires
Approximately 1500 men waging successful tights against
I more than 170 forest fires in the Nelson Forest District Tuesday afternoon welcomed rain which was fairly general through
Out the Southern Interior. The rain was hardly more than
enough to dampen down the lightning-set fires, but coupled
with the efforts of the fire fighters, and with the higher overnight humidity that followed it, the situation was the brightest
it has been for nearly a week. So much brighter was it that
some crews were reduced and Forest Branch officials anticipated reduction of many other crews today

30,000 Killed in
Vh Minutes When
Rotterdam Raided
WASHINGTON, July IS (AP). -
Terming the bombing of Rotterdam the "greatest mass destruction
the world has ever seen," The Netherlands Legation said in a statement today that 30,000 persons were
killed "ln the IVt minutes the planes
were over the city."
Seventy thousand others were
maimed and injured, the statement
added.
"When Rotterdam wat bombed."
It continued, "the Dutch army capitulation had already been handed
to the German High Command. The
Germans say the planes were in
the air and could not be called
back. It Is customary for all military planes to be equipped with radio and to be directed in their operations by radio. It cannot be believed that the Germaiuair fare*, tq
efficient in other reipectt, wat deficient in this.
"The crime against Rotterdam
waa a deliberate, fiendish assault
on unarmed, undefended civilians.
The world knows Rotterdam it
built on marshy soil, and that therefore adequate underground'bomb
shelters could not be constructed.
Ot course, the Germans knew this,
too."

When war came tome military
authorities conceded Britain's
Royal Air Force little chance
against Germany's Luftwaffe,
pampered darling of the Nazi
high command and tempered by
service In Spain's civil war.
Ten and a halt months later
these authorities have changed
their minds. Scanning the British
records, they find tne one-time
stepchild of the fighting services
has destroyed 2548 German aircraft and made 295 successful
bombing attacks on military objectives in Germany.
A four-sided area on the map of
Gc.aiiany connecting Aachen, Coblenz, Osnabruck and Emmerich, haa
been pounded and tmashed night
after night. In this area are Germany's heavy Industries which feed
munitions and material to her
armies. The third Relch't molt important railways criss-cross it.
Here are items from R.A.F. score
sheet against towns ln that area:
"Hamm, bombed 14 timet. Direct hit with heavy bomb on Krupp
arms works. Soest (an important
railway iunction) bombed teven
timet. Cologne bombed 19 times;
direct hits on chemical works observed."
These; are samples culled from

Unemployment Insurance Bill May ,
Be Enacted al Present Session
OTTAWA, July 16 (CP) .-Welcomed by spokesmen for all parties
an unemployment Insurance bill designed to bring benefits In the event
of unemployment to more than 4,-
000,000 Canadians, including workers and their dependents, was introduced in the House of Commons
tonight by Hon. Norman McLarty,
Minister of Labor.
The bill, similar in many respects
to that passed ln 1935 and later,
found unconstitutional, was given
first reading.
The House debated the resolution on  which  the measure  is
.^«"Uu^hoi47.t|t.,^_tSfi_4^!SS
and part of the evenlnTFritr.?'lur*
Minister Mackenzie King said it
was the Government's hope  to
enact the measure at the present
session.
The bill will be considered in
detail at a later sitting of the
House but ls not expected to be
submitted to a special committee.
Spokesmen tor all parties ln the
Ccmmons endorsed the principle of
an unemployment insurance measure when the resolution, preceding introduction of the bill, was in-
,n duced by Mr. McLarty.
But there was some criticism of
the fact the measure was not
hrou-.ht down until late ln the
session.
Prime Minister Mackenzie King
said it was not until this year that
there had been in the whole hiatory
ot Canada, a unanimity fst agreement among the provinces that the
British North America Act be
amended so as to give the Domin
ion power to enact and administer
the scheme.
"I think wa are right in not losing thy time in obtaining enactment of this measure," Mr. King
said. "It is the intention to pass it
at the present session. We cannot
foresee what wefiay be clled upon
to deal with next session."
Ample time would be given for
discussion of the measure in parliament but Mr. King said he could
not see the necessity, urged by some
of those who speke before him, cl
rr'"fitting the bill to a special committee.
Reason the bill did not appear

ALEXANDRIA Egypt,, July 16
(AP).—The Eastern Mediterranean iquadron of the Royal Navy
was back ln Alexandria tonight,
itanding by for new orders to
carry the fight to the Italian fleet
which the British squadron put
to hasty flight after an "accidental" encounter a week ago today,
I wat permitted to go aboard
the British ships and talk to the
} men who told at first hand how
the Italian  fleet  fled   to  safety
i through the Straits of Messina
between Sicily and Italy, after
briefly exchanging shots at long
range upon encountering the
British ships off Calabria, toe of
the Italian boot.
Hie Britons said they were con-
eying ships from Malta to Alex-
ndrla on the afternoon of Julv 9
'hen they got word lhat the Italian
eel was at tea and turned about
hunt it.
| The officer of one battlesWp said:
I -We fint sighted the Italian fleet,
Jattly superior in number to our
■nils, at extreme range. The Hal-
■ns opened fire first but did not
pt tny of our ships.
"Most of  the fire was directed
|oon this ship which had steamed
need of the other units of the Brit-
|h fleet.
"Our destroyers and cruisers also
»ned fire, driving otf a flotilla of
fiemy  destroyers  which  waj  at-
npting  to  torpedo  ui.
"Our ships scored a hit on one
of the Italian battleships.
"Subsequently lhe fire from our
cruisers struck one Italian cruiser
and one destroyer. Immediately
afterward, the Italians retired
under a smoke screen laid down
by their deitroyeri.
"We pursued, and were incessantly attacked by Italian bombers
who droped close to 200 bombi
without scoring a hit.
"We followed the Italian fleet
almost to the mainland, then turned back toward Egypt, the Italian
bombers keeping up their attacki
until we were within radius of our
fighting planes from Egypt.
"The Italians were vastly superior
in numbers and the operating speed
of their ships—both of cruisers and
of battleships—proved to be much
fastei  than ouri."  .
The British naval command issued
a statement ridiculing Italian accounts which called the encounter
a "stupendous victory" for Italy.
Actually, the itatement taid. the
Italians quickly retired under the
protection of their air forces to
their own coasti, "where they
stood for one brief movement to
engage the British fleet at extreme range.' f-v
The British officers to whom I
talked said the encounter wai
'purely accidental" and expressed
the belief the onlw way they ever
will get a real chalice to imaah the

AMONG the flnt contingent of
English children to arrive in
Canada aa war guests was a group
of 25 brought to a place of safety
by Mr. Wallace R. Campbell, president of the Canadian Ford organization. The children were welcomed
to the home of Mr. and Mra.

where they were cared' tor until

placed In their new homes. Some
of the children posed for a "family

Peter Daniels, -in back row;
Hn. Campbell, Lorna Thacker,
Doreen Fowler, Petar Brister,
Mr. Campbell and four-year old
Peter Fowler seated, on a toy
fire truck.  Another 100 children
will reach the Campbell's home
later on under an arrangement
made between Mr. Campbell and
Lord terry, head of the Ford
company ln England. Many of
these will be war guests of families
in the Ford organization in
Windsor. These children are not
a part of the movement of children
under the Government plan.
"The President has never had,
and hat not today, any desire or
purpoie to continue ln trie office of
preiident, to be a candidate for that
office, or to be nominated by the
convention for that office.
"He wiihei in all earnestness and
sincerity to make it clear that all of
the delegates to this convention are
tree to vote for any candidate."
No sooner had Barkley finished
than the tumultuous demonstration
of an earlier hour wat resumed, confined however to shouting, calla ot
"We want Roosevelt," whistling,
bell-ringing, cheering and stamping.
Senator  Jamet  F,  Byrnes  of
South Carolina, 'floor leader of
the   "draft   Roosevelt"   forcei,
Sulckly sounded the viewpoint ot
ie pro-third term voices by tell-
- ing'reportert'that the demonstration on the floor and the cries ot
"We want Rootevelt"  had  an-
twered the President
"I know that the Preiident'!
statement represents his. eincere
views," Byrnet taid. "However, it
il for the delegates to say who shall
be the nominee and in thit emergency, the President ctnnot refuse
to terve th* American people."
But from Senator Worth Clark of
Idaho, a supporter ot Senator Burton K. Wheeler'! presidential aspirations, came a different reaction.
"The itatement It not definite,"
Clark taid. "It leavei the convention, the delegates and the candidates In the lame uncertain condition they were before as far as I am
concerned, unleit Senator Wheeler
decided otherwise, his name will be
placed in nomination before the convention by me."
Jamet A. Farley, Chairman of
the   national   committee—and   a
candidate—iaid:
"I hava no comment to make.
Tha itatement tpeakt for Ittelf."
Another opponent of third termi,
Senator Millard E. Tydlngt, of
Maryland, laid "I admire the Preiident tor the statesmanlike stand ho
has takeh." He added:
"I think he it sincere ln not desiring to continue. There is no
doubt that he would have gotten the
full support of two-thirds of the
delegates had he been a candidate."
The "Draft Rooievelt" interpretation put on the statement by
Byrnes quickly wai echoed by other third term advocatei. Senator
Claude Pepper of Florida iaid
Rooievelt "is the people's candidate
and they will have no other."
Under the circumstances the delegatei and the milling, noisy gallery
crowds were interested only In the
conclusion of the Kentuckian's address. The rest, a scathing attack
upon the Republican candidate and
platform and a heartily approving
resume of the New Deal record, presented In the traditional national
convention manner, was to them to
much window,trimming.
But Barkley had prepared for
them a speech bristling with accusations of Republican "deceit" and
"mls-slatementt." calling Wendell L.
Willkie a "political chameleon" because he left the Democratic parly
to become the Republican presidential nominee, and asserting the Republican platform was "written in
mud by the feet of a weasel."

CRESTON, B.C. - Fruit ihip.
ping history was made Sunday when
ihe tint straight carload of raspberries ever to leave the valley waa
rolled trom the pre-cooler ot the
Co-Operative Fruit Growen Association of Wynndel. It wis an
assembled car In which Long, Allan

There was about 1000 crates ln
the shipment which was destined
for Calgary. Prominent in the load
were Lathams, Newburgs, Newman's and some other of the newer
varieties, which are rapidly displacing the long time favorite Cuthbert with the Prairie trade. Considering the prolonged heat wave
raspberries are holding up better
than expected but the end of the
week will see the last of the 1940
crop moved.
There Is still a light movement of
back and red currants, with tha

One of my pilots waa leading a
bombing raid on strong enemy columns. After tbe task had been completed hli aircraft wai attacked by
seven Messerschmitt 109s. In the
course of the purauit the rear-gunner shot down one Messerschmitt
in flames and disabled another. After that the British pilot found cover
in a cloud.
"On emerging, however, the
bomber was again attacked by a
stray Meserschmitt 110 from a range
of only 50 yards. The attack wai
at once returned and once more the
air-gunner taw hli opponent bunt
into flamei and dive headlong to
the ground. The German pilot nad,
however, icored a number of hits
which set the port petrol-tank on
fire. The order was given to abandon aircraft The observer jumped
and made a safe landing. The pilot
stood on the wing and was about
to jump when he saw that hit rear-
gunner wai still Inilded wounded.
Without hesitation the pilot got back

Newsmen Must Have
Waihington O. K.
OTTAWA, July 11 (CP)-Special
permission from Washington in. addition to a passport is required of
every Canadian newspaper man entering the United States, an official
of the External Affairs Department
said today.
Application should be made to the
United States Coniulatei a few
dayi in advance of the day on which
the newspaper man wlihei to leave
for the United States. Such application is referred by tbe Consul to
Washington, and upon authorization
there the applicant is Issued a visa,
the official said.
WASHINGTON, July 11 (AP)-A
State Department official explained
today that Canadian newspapermen
were now affected like those ot
other countriei by t requirement
that apeclal permlsilon be obtained
from Waihington before visas are
granted for visits to the United
States.
This long hss been the practice
with newspapermen from most other countries desiring to visit the
United States. The regulation, however, did not apply to Canadians
until new regulations became effective July 1 requiring passports
and vitas for Canadians seeking entry into the United States.
The rule, it wu explained, was
to enable the State Department to
keep a check on foreigners engaging or seeking to engage in newspaper work here.
Parson Pilot
Is Fine Bomber
SOMEWHERE IN THE WESTERN DESERT, (CP).-With a roar,
the lean bomber came to reit on this
British desert airport Improvised on
the red-brown stony flats and a
broad-shouldered, mild-faced man
climbed out of the cockpit .
"That'a The Friar" back from hli
Sunday service," taid a young airman. In a faintly-tired voice reminiscent of a country penon, the returning pilot pronounced the flight
perfect but doubted whether the
plcturei he htd taken on the reconnaissance Were good becauie of the
ground mist.
Brother officeri lav. him tbe
nickname because he really It a
penon. He learned flying while at
univenity and atter ordination became chaplain to the Biihop of Ny-
attalend..He joined the Royal Air
Force at the outbreak of war and
his tint job air Cairo wasn't much
of an introduction to it He performed the marriage of his wing
leader.
In the flnt big bombing rtid on
Libya after Italy entered the war,
he flew ln the centre of the leading
wing but the commander complained his machine constantly kept bobbing up and down.
On landing he explained that he
took his hsnds otf the controls once
or twice—"I was a bit excited at
my flnt raid and wu just clapping

'Grand show. Splendid ihow' aa our

Cups. . .
faking Bottle
From Ihe Baby
•y OARRY C. MYERS, Ph.D.
Wise is the mother wbo trains
her infant early to take water and
fruit juices from a cup, But iome
parents who easily effect this train-
i Ing have trouble getting the baby
: to take milk from a cup instead
' of a bottle.
Some  child   doctors  advise let-
•■ ting the baby have the night bottle
even past the age of two. in order
< to Induce the child to take enough
l milk. It is doubtful if this procedure is necesary. Nevertheless, the
' mother should carry out her doctor's Instructions.
ONE  MOTHER'S PROBLEM
Assuming that you have resolved
to have your baby abandon the
bottle, what is a good procedure?
I answered this question in my
reoly to the mother who wrote the
following:
"Dear Dr. Myers: I've a prob-
Inn I would like solved. It may be
amall to some but to me it is quite
a task. I have a baby fifteen months
old. She still takes her milk In a
bottle. Has done so since two
months old. I have tried every way
I know of to get her to drink her
milk from a cup. She absolutely
refuses. I've taken her bottle away
from her at times. She still won't
drink from the cup: She doesn't
make any fuss about drinking water
Irom a cup.
"Some tell me she will ruin the
jylhaye of her mouth and teeth. Others iay to let her have the bottle
as long as she wants It, lust so long
ei she gets her milk. I wish you
would please advise me."
I answered: •
"Since your baby takes water
from a cup, she easily can learn
to take milk in like manner. The
trouble with so many of you mother! is that you don't stick to any
plin long enough to make it work.
Just remove the bottle and never
bring it back. It might be a good
plan to have a little ceremony in
which you bury the bottle while
the baby -watches.
"Then as it Ii buried—all other
bottles put away — she might
choose without resistance to get
along without it. A number of
babies have under.such conditions.
Otherwise just let her cry. She
won't starve even though she
might hoI_ out a day or more. Of
course, you will hasten results if
all other food is denied her in the
meanwhile. In case she develops
nausea consult your doctor."
80LVING PARENT PROBLEMS
Q. Do you think a father should
whip an adolescent girl?
A. Certainly not. Any one who
has read this column regularly
must know that I »ay repeatedly
that we should try to get along
without using corporal punishment after the child is four or five.
One of the best arguments for
selective intelligent corporal punishment of the tot is that he might
be prepared to escape all corpora!
punishment before he ls old
enough to enter school, need very
little of any kind of punishment
thereafter, and be a happy, likeable citizen.

CHAPTER FORTY
Old Mr. Merrifield learned of the
plans for the new play and was delighted with them. He had never
heard of any sort of dramatic presentation in the outdoors; the very
thought was exciting to him.
"Mr. Weems, where are you sir?"
he called to his secretary who had
hovered near the conference this
morning. The secretary came forward respectfully. "Mr. Weems, how
long since our tennis courts have
been reconditioned?"
'The tennis courts, sir?"
"Certainly, certainly! The tennis
courts!" The old millionaire glared,
spoke loudiy. "We have tennis
courts here at The Oaks, Mr.
Weems, haven't we?"
"Oh, of course, sir. But it has been
—oh, quite some years—since anyone used them."
"Regrettable, Mr. Weems. There
are two courts. I often walk past
them. My daughter used them frequently. I have observed that they
are in poor shape. Holes in them.
Worn out, no doubt. Mr. Weems,
see that they are rebuilt Immediately. Rebuilt, air. You hear?"
"Oh, of course sir."
"The best of materials, Mr.
Weems. Whatever is needed. And
—several hundred seats for guests.
As many as Mr. Bailey thinks he
may need tor this play, sir. Perhaps,
ah—" his old eyes sparkled with
devilment—"perhaps I can use my
Influence with Mr. Bailey and the
girls to get you into the play free,
Mr. Weems.''
"Oh. no, sir. I shall, of course,
purchase admission, I do not wish
to-"
"Tut, tut. Mr. Weems. When you
can get into a theatre free, get in.
You hear me?"
"Oh. of course, sir!" Poor Mr.
Weems was a literalist. Not until
he had observed the othen all
laughing at him did he realize they
had been teasing, and even then
he was slightly confused. He stood
in perpetual awe of the man who
was at the same time his employer
and friend. But when Gayle
saueezed his arm, he smiled hap>
pliy.
"Both of you old dears scat out
of here," she ordered. "You know
good and well you'll be in the best
possible  seats  in  the  front  row.
I—" ihe dropped to a itage whisper. "I'll illp you In myiefl."
The play hid been written and
rewritten in "final" form, to that
Sarti could be typed and given to
ie various acton. BUI wrote in at
least some part, ai before, tor eich
of the eeven girls now In the Merrifield household, and arringed for
both himielf and Jeremy Tucker to
play dual roles. Jeremy had to be
a youth in Acts I and II, and a
college professor in Act III. He had
more to do than he had had in
the first play.
The new al freico production,
however, wu only ■ pirt of the
excitement planned for The Oaks.
Preparation of it soon wai going
on apace, but so were preparations
for the magnificent reception and
ball scheduled for that same evening.
The date wai lets thin a" month
away. Society editors from the
newspapers, keeping in close touch
with The Oaki now, beam early
to mention the preparations, and
Mrs. Molly Van Orsdale learned
first that the play was to be outdoors, On next Sunday morning
Page One of her society section
carried an eight-column headline:
"AL FRESCO DRAMA TO BE
REVIVED AT THE MERRIFIELD
ESTATE."
The subheading said thit "Brilliant Reception Included in Plans
for Staging The Wit to Woo'."
Mn. Molly knew that they would
be of major interest to the high-hat
stratum of society life, and so worded her article with that In mind.
There ll • subtle difference In io-
clety newi coverages—things for
the elite can be itated one way,
things for the mass public another.
Mrs. Molly went quite snooty, with
her tongue in her cheek; She was
well aware that the high hats had
been high-hatted at The Oaki ■
few weeks igo. and the wanted to
see what would happen next.
So apparently did practically everybody else in the city. A great
many people telephoned In. Committees trom five different charities called on Mr. Merrifield asking
that some of the proceeds from lhe
play be diverted to their organizations. He referred them all to Bill
Bailey. More than 100 applications
for tickets to the play came to The
Oaks in the mail, and poor Graham, the butler, was so busy with
telephone calls about tickets, and
Nibout details of the play In general, that he hired an assistant to
help him.
Bill and Gayle learned of these
things promptly, but they were
more and more busy with rehearsals again, with costuming, lighting
of the outdoor stigei, mikeup, acoustics, ill the problems thit issall
directors and managers of any play
o'.us the additional ones that nag at
amateurs.
Cholly Farrlngton's gossipy column in the Chronicle-Post cime
out wish a llfted-eyebrows paragraph or two concerning the activity at The Oaks.
"Draw up a rocker, my dears."
he chatted. "Have you heard?
About the Merrifield Oaks?" The
maid to measure, it seems was
duly measured, and so was the public taste. Whereupon. .The Wit to
Woo' is being concocted at the
same stand.
"If this were anything but pure
charity, or if Mr. M. were anything
but pure generosity, thli might all
be open to suspicion. Not io, though.
It's a little early to reveal the inside information—but your humble correspondent humbly submits
that thert are still seven beautiful
girls headquartering In the big
house on Montrose, riot to mention a young dramatic genius and
a millionaire grandson. Anything
cm happen there. Very probably it
will. Stand by for further Initructloni."
Meanwhile, too, some "outildc"
young people hid begun to drop in
•t The Oiki. The first party given
in Jeremy'i honor hid been largely
framed up for him by the other
youthi there who invited their
friends. But Jeremy had chanced
to meet • few of the guests later
in a roadhouse. And Oayle had
tactfully called a few of the others
I on the telephone for him.
On a Friday afternoon a,fter the
rehearsals were started, and atter
the papers had informed the world
about the new play, a carload cf
youhg people rolled up the long
drive to The Oaks. A detached observer might have slid thit It
cime up diffidently, almost warily;
plainly the driver wain't too sure
ot himielf. The Oaks wu truly an
awesome eitate.
No one wu ln sight when thl
youths stopped near the front porch.
Pre -ntly the car gave a tentative
honk.
Graham, punctilious butler, saw

Stretching ...
Subtle Exercises
to Reduce Hips
By DONNA GRACE
A number of clever business girla
tell ui they have what they call
secretary's hips. These girli are
obliged to do moit of their work
while sitting. Only the fingen are
exercised u they pound the keyi
—not enough exercise for any healthy girl.
Theie long sitting sessions will
help to idd weight, ind ilnce thli
must go on every diy, one must do
lomething to keep the slender Unci
u they should be.
There li a form ot placid exercise
that will reduce hips and it can be
done without leaving the chair. The
secret of thli form ot exercise ii
correct sitting and stretching.
When sitting, be u tall and
stretched aa the work will permit
The bue ot the spine ihoula touch
the back of the chair. Thli will
flice the body correctly so that the
orward slide will be discouraged.
The abdomen must be held flat
With this tlitneii md lower back
against the chair, the head Is
stretched high on the neck, the chin
well in but high away trom the
chest.
Thli straight posture ahould be
adopted at all time*, even when
there is no suggestion of overweight. In the upright position one
will breathe deeply with ease ao
that there will be less fatigue after
the day"! work.

Temperature...
Coolness Needed
After Sunstroke
By LOGAN CLENDENING, M.D.
Heat stroke or sunstroke is due
to an upset of the heat regulating
centrei of the body, ind the wont
symptoms, the-actual "stroke", low
of consciouinesi md ooUipie, ara
preceded by a period when the victim becomes very sensitive'to the
oppressive atmospheric condition!,
geta pale with clammy skin, feels
weak, may be nauseated. Shortly
after the skin, instead. of being
clammy, feels hot and dry aad
mentality is disturbed.
. Tba Engliih physiologist, Hal-
dane, has shown that It the temperature of the environment is
greater than that ot the body, neat
itorage may occur md ■ gain ln
body temperature of one degree
an hour la pouible. Humidity, that
old enemy, tends to Increaie thii
heat itorage.
COOLING  IMPERATIVE
Treatment tn theie early stage
will ward off the serious later
stages. Cold water on the skin to
reduce temperature la the indication. Ice ii not io effective u cold
water evaporated by a fan. Tba
evaporation of a quart ot water
removes seven times as much heat
as the melting of two poundi of Ice,
The water ihould be thrown on
the body with some force; trom a
hose, if available, or aluiced on
from a bucket Thia Impingement
of the water on the skin is a stimulant and very valuable because
the real danger of heat itroke il
circulatory collapse.
Of course, remove ihe heat exhausted victim to the cooleit place
that can be found, away trom tbe
sun.
- The ideal treatment la to remove
all the clothes, wrap the patient in
a sheet and put htm on a cot on
too suddenly, and when tht body
temperature fills to  101 degrees
Fahrenheit ba il wrapped in blan- .
keti.
One heat stroke or attack ot heat
exhaustion makei the victim heat-
sensitive, end he must be careful
ot hot weather ever afterward.       ,

In the dally softbail gamei the

Virginia makes every movement

sure of himself, either. '
"Oh! No, Graham, let me go and
—no, call Mr. Jeremy at once—
JEREMY1" She didn't wait for Graham to call; she herself yelled out
ln quite spontaneous manner.
Jeremy heard md came down.
Out of sheer curiosity some of the
other girls came into the front
room there, too, and even Bill
came in.
"Jeremy, somebody's honking lor
you," Gayle reported.
"For—me?"
"Go out and see!'1
He looked distressed. His eyes
sought Gayle's In appealing, but
she pushed him toward the door,
smiling at the others.
He went out. Bill and the girli

Because by chance Tempe Hyde

and happened to look unexpectedly

them that Bill md Gayle involuntarily looked at each other again,

Presently, when they were alone
again, Bill ipoke in low tonei to
Gayle. "Say, do you know aomethlng? I don't quite get thii Hyde

Secrets...
love and Giving
Hold Friendships
By CAROLINI CHATFIELD
Not long ago I heard an old lady
tay she hoped the wu not a greedy
penon but then are two things the
couldn't get enough of: friendi and
flowen. Incidentally, the is the only
penon I've ever known who kept up
not only with the friendi of her
youth, but with their children md
their children's children. If she lives
to a hundred she will be close to
their children, even down to the
fourth md fifth generation.
Looking at her ahd wondering at
the marvelous gift she hu for
friendship, I uked myself what she
had thit othen hadn't; what the
did that othen lett otf doing. Here's
her secret: she's gentle and generous, tolerant end sincere with plenty
of courage ind i lovely sense ot
humor. She exudei sweetness and
light ai the moves about her quiet
way.
From her imall garden In which
the hu • bit of everything worth
growing, there ire few of her friends
who haven't hid a root, a bulb, a
cutting or a bunch of blossoms. The
flowers which she says she's greedy
for are among the thingi she's most
generous with. She not only ihares
her own but ihe goei a-vliltlng and
suggests thit you give youn away
too—always with the humOroui md
kindly twinkle in her eye thit would
shame you if you were tempted to
hold back.
There'i much more: whan friends
or acquaintances have sickness or
sorrow, she's among the flnt to ring
the doorbell carrying her small
poieyi. Without talking, without
weeping, she uyi her sympathy like
a benediction. Peace seems to flow
from her. Perhapi thla is her piety.
And mon: she's not afraid to
speek her piece. She can iay the
buke, a slight suggestion that you
think you don't want to hear but
need to hear, say It in iuch a way
that It leives no itlng. A gentle rebuke, i slight suggestion that you
may be wrong, ytt with lt all no
holler - than - thou attitude. And
there'i her courage and her tolerance.

HAY-FEVER DAYS
ON WAY AGAIN
OTTAWA (CP).—Hay-fever days
are on their way again, and Agriculture Department scientists warn
sufferers to be on the lookout for
ragweed, a coarse, branching plant
which, along with related species,
causes 70 per cent of the sniffles
malady.
Fifth column of the plant world,
the ragweed lurks inconspicuously
in vacant lots and friends and annually sends out its hordes of light
pollen. Carried by the wind like
parachute troops, these are inhaled
by human beings and their proteins
cause disturbances in the human
system.
Other weedi that cause the ailment are the lamb's quarters, pigweed, cocklebur, hemp and English
plantain.
"Goat" In the hay fever situation
Is the goldenrod. The tall weed with
the golden yellow flowers ls in its
greatest profusion in the hay-fever
season and thus gets most of thc
blame. Actually it has little to do
with it say the scientists.
Trees, too, cause hay-fever, but
they bring It on in Spring, when
they shed pollen profusely. Common
offenders are the maple, elm, poplar,
willow, oak, ask, birch and butternut

Air; Mercury at 83
Rain that fell in showers, totalling .32 inch from 10 o'clock Monday night to 5 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, cleared the atmosphere of
smoke to a large extent and made
a break in the prolonged district
heat wave. Before the rain began
to fall Tuesday morning, clouds ol
smoke from district forest fires
blended with clouds and filled the
West Arm valley.

shone for a time, the mercury went
up to 83 degrees, only three points
under Monday's >peak. The day's
minimum was 68 degrees, compared
to Monday's 55 degrees.
The rain was ths first to fall In

LONDON, July 16 (CP). — Special war zone courts proposed under the Emergency Powers Act
would have power to impose the
death penalty for looting or for
forcing way past a military sentry

appeal from the decision of these
courts.

Yonal Cabinet
Resigns, Japan
TOKYO, July 16 (AP) .-Premier
Mitsumasa Yonai handed his cabinet's resignation to Emperor Hiro-
hito tonight, apparently under army
pressure for stronger enforcement
of Japan's "new order in East Asia"
policy.
Most Japanese newspapers expected that former Premier Fumimaro
Konoye would be asked to form a
new cabinet.
Either he or War Minister Shun-
roku Mata, whose resignation hastened the end of the six-months old
Yonai' cabinet, presumably would
point a new government toward
consolidation of Japan's §ains in the
Orient and take a strong stand
egainst the Western powers in-the
East.
"Army circles," commented Domei,, Japanese News Agency, "have
come to the conclusion that it is the
urgent task of Japan to establish
the so-called new national political
structure which forms the only way
for Japan, in view of ttie stress of
the home and foreign situation, to
carry out rearmament effectively,
tighten state control of economy
and renovate foreign policy with
construction of a new order in East
Asia as the ultimate object
The decision of Yonai to submit
the resignation of his government
followed the individual resignation
of Gen. Hata.
The chief secretary of the cabinet
explained merely, "The War Minister having tendered his resignation,
Premier Yonai decided to resign and
tender the resignations of his cabinet members to the throne."
Attention centred on Yonal and
his Foreign Minister, Hachiro Arita,
ffhile   political'leaders   conferred
If either is retained, observers be-
over formation of a new. cabinet
lleve, it can be taken as a sign that
Japan has no intention of making
any formal alliance with Italy and
Germany, since there two men were
largely responsible for thwarting
moves toward a military pact with
the axis powers last year.

INDIA A SUPPLY HOUSE FOR THE WAR
"■'. This war is vastly different from any of ita pre-
decessors in technique, including the Great War, but apparently the worthy sandbag has not been outmoded. India is
stated to be nearing completion of orderi for a billion
sandbags for Britain, and Canadian troops in Britain presumably find facility with pick and shovel and t*in*i-
one pick to two shovels in trench digging,' two shovels to
one bag holder in filling sandbags—as useful ai ever.
Jute, the raw material of sandbags, the jute manufactures head the list of India's exports at the preient time,
and even in peace time they constitute a quarter of that
country's exports. In the Great War India supplied jute, and
jute sacks and cloth, valuccTB. £137,000,000, to the Allies.
India practically produces the world's jute, and Kootenay
war veterans will remember the German sandbags, made
of finely twisted paper cord, which was Germany's substitute for the jute article.
Other leading raw materials being exported by India
are cotton, wool, hides and skins, coir or cocoanut fibre,
hemp, lac or dye-resin, and timber and other forest products.
India is one of the world's greatest producers and exporters of the oil seeds, mostly groundnuts and linseed,
irom which oils and fats for essential war purposes are
extracted. Approximately a million tons of groundnuts are
exported annually. Another great raw material that India
provides is rubber—18,000,000 pounds she exported in the
last peace year, when restriction still applied. A million
tons of manganese headed her mineral exports. India ls
also one of the great wheat producing countries.
With agriculture, lumbering and raining gear«d up to
war-time demands, India will exceed all records for supplying raw materials needed for the Empire's part in the
war-
A tremendous expansion of industry that has taken
place in recent years is being accentuated, and special industries are coming into being, to further India's production of manufactured goods. It is stated that the Indian
Government is giving assurances that post-war tariffs will
be adjusted so as to give promise of continuance to the
ipecial industries how arising.
It is stated that within the first six months of the
current war, the Supply Department dealt with orders
two-and-a-half times greater in value than were placed
• with India during the first year of. the Great War.
While India is making military and other service contributions to the war against Nazi Germany, its economic
contribution will be its outstanding one, for industry and
commerce are the fields in which it can give distinguished
help.
Her geographical position, having regard to strategic
considerations, makes it clear hjr most important function
is to act as a supply centre for all the countries bordering
on the Indian Ocean and adjacent sea, from Egypt to the
Malay Archipelago. So far as lies in her power, India is
supplying raw materials and manufactured articles alike,
wherever they are needed, throughout the Red Sea littorals,
the Mediterranean, the Indian Ocean, Indo-China, and
elsewhere, and is thus setting free Britain's resources,
specially shipping, for use in other important and indeed
vital directions.
\ PLEASING VISITOR
Darting by on airy pinion over the Water, at times
beading downward to display a forked tail that seems to
md in needlepoints, and performing evolutions over the
surface, is _ streamlined white bird, that is the very pinnacle of airy grace. The distinguished visitor, which
snatches its food from the shallows in the vicinity of the
old C.P.R, freight trestle, and at times drops its catch, only
to retrieve it before it has fallen two feet, is a tern.
Its generally white body, with pearl-grey wings,
forked tail, black-tipped red bill, long black cap, and red
legs, would'suit any of four species of Canadian tern, which
differ mainly in the depth of the tail forking. No one is
likely to get a yardstick on this beautiful creature, to discover whether it is the 21-Inch Caspian tern, or is in the
15-inch class where the Common, Forster's and Arctic belong, or to discover whether its tail shading is on the outer
or inner webs of the feathers. At a casual view as it dives,
seems to have the shallow forking of the Caspian, but it
hardly seems to measure up in size to that species. The Common tern and Forster's are the species given by Taverner as
more likely to be met with away from the sea coasts.
Did this graceful "sea swallow"—all the terns are sea
swallows—accompany the gulls back from wherever they
spent the breeding season? Or did it, like the white swan
seen in the Spring here for two days—drop off here for a
stop-over while on migration?
Yes, the first gulls are back, the adult Herring Gulls,
with white bodies, grey mantles, black-tipped wings, and
yellow bills. For nearly two months Kootenay Lake and the
West Arm were nearly gull-less, the only ones to be seen,
and those at rare intervals, being the creamy or brownish
immatures of the 1939 hatch. In a recent number of Game
Trails of Canada, Migratory Bird Officer Munro mentions
a rocky island in Cariboo Lake as the only Herring Gull
nesting site known in British Columbia, his theory, apparently, being that the Herring Gulls go to the Prairie to
nest. At a Rod and Gun Club lecture in Nelson some years
ago, Mr. Munro was told by Dr. H. B. Morriion that he
had encountered a gull sitting on eggs, in the Kootenay,
but apparently the worthy official did not accept that as an
expert observation.
Wherever the Herring Gulls of this district do their
brooding, soon their black offspring will be showing up,

Germans Won't Be First to Try Invasion of
England but Only Army That Landed
Was Repulsed.by Women
PART OF HITLER'S "MOSQUITO" FLEET
Once again • fleet bent on Invasion ia being assembled at the
French cout Channel porti now
occupied by the Germani. For Hitler U putting together i "mosquito
fleet"—hundred! and hundred! of
smill vessels, motor boats, yachti,
fishing triwlers, anything and everything which can carry soldiers
—and preparing tor the day when
ha can launch them across the
Channel at Dover and Folkestone.
Over ttfem, tha Germani declare,
will roar not hundred, but thouiandi Ot bomben prepared to blast
(British navy out of existence,
and German fighting planei, prepared to protect the Germin bombert agalnit tha Royal Air Force
fighters. We have gone far enough
along with thli war to comprehend
that meat of tbe old conceptions
hive gone by tha board. Mechanized artillery and troop transports
and huge bombers have changed
the rulei. Perhaps In a few weeka
we shall iee If Hitler can tucceed
in what Napoleon dared not tackle.
Only the complete rout and ruin
ot the French fleet at Trafalgar
laved England from Invulon 135
yean ago. But u a suggestion of
what might have occurred tf the
Emperor nad been able to land his
veteran legions under the protection
of VlUeneuve'i fleet, we can go back
to i comic opera Invulon of England which actually did take place
in 1717, concerning which history li
oddly uncommunicative.
Women laved England ln that
long-ago, u Indeed they might do
again. On the 22nd of February in
that year, IW, an Irish-American
idventurer named Colonel Tate,
commanding a torce ot a few hundred mixed rapscallions, along with
1500 French soldiers, lent to him by,
I think, the French General Hook,
actually made a landing in Cardigan
Bay, walei. They met with pric-
ticilly no opposition, even though
they had to scale a high and difficult dltt and haul their guns up
•nd over it
Their reception by the natives
wu even cordial, although there
wu a flurry ot astonishment when
the French flag wu broken out.
The Fishguard Fenciblei were mut
tered out—can't you iee HI A gal
lant ipectacle that muit have been!
—but there wu little need to call
upon their gallantry. The invaders
had made themselves sick from
eating too much half-cooked mutton and drinking too much port
wine out of a wrecked ship on the
cout
There ii a atory that the lnvaderi
were frightened by • distant view
ot the stalwart women of that region ot Cardigan, Walu, wearing
red cloaks, ana took to their French
heeli. At my rate, they were euy
victims when the Britlih loldlery, i
little Ute-but not too late with too
little-came on the field and met
them. According ot the esteemed
New York Sun.lt you go to Brett-
garn todiy ind hind over alxpenee,
you cin ut the bullet-hole made by
one of these filibustering rascals in

The famous French Foreign Le
|ion — or, rather, eertaln detachments of that tough, hard-boiled
service—did iome fighting In Norway, but they muit nave got there
too lite: "too lite ind too little," ai
Lloyd George put lt. For they ire

War Prizes Keep British
Fleet at Full Strength
By JOHN FERRIS  ,
.    Anoclated Press Staff Writer
I NEW YORK, July 16 (AP.-The
British merchant fleet, swelled by
new construction and ships of other
nations gained through the for-
.'tunes of war; probably ls stronger
now than it was when the war start-
'ed, a study of available verelied
figures indicated today.
Germany claimed last week lhat
Ueilliaaaj    a.a.aaaaa...    aa_a.    a,-a...    -—-
to to July 1 she had destroyed 4,-
329,213 tons of British shipping, f
figure which an authoritative Brit
Ish source said was more than four
limes the real losses.
Associated Press figures showed
'that the British had lost 243 ships
of 932,158 gross tons up to July 14.
. At the start of the war, according to Lloyd's Register of Maritime
Shipping, the British Empire nad
21,001,925 tons of shipping comprising 8977 ships—steam and motor—of
100 gross tons and upward.
J The loss of 243 ships would leave
the British 8734 ships totalling 20,-
069.767 tons.
I But this would not take into account Britain's production of new
ahips since the start of the war and
her acquisition or control of an un
disclosed amount of shipping gained
when Germany invaded Norway,
Denmark, Belgium and Holland and
when the French ilgned Hitler's
armistice terms.
Norway, for example, had 1987
ships of 4,833813 tons at the outbreak of war—the fourth largest
merchant marine In the world, outranked only by the British Empire,
the United States and Japan,
Norway's losses, tabulated by the
Associated Press, have amounted to
66 ships of 146,866 tons, leaving 1.-
921 ships of 4,686,957 tons.
Of these, Britain today controls
an undisclosed number, as she does
parts of the fleets of the other
countries.
Belgium had 200 ships of 408,418
tons, and has lost eight ships of
40.854 tons, leaving 192 ships of
367,564 tons.
Denmark had 603 ships of 1,174,-
944 tons, and lost 30 ships of 65,830
tons, leaving 675 ships ot 1,19,114
tons.
Holland had 1,423 ships of 2,969,-
578 tons, and lost 34 ships of 149,793
tons, leaving 1489 ships of 2,8101785
tons.
France had 1231 ships of 2,933,933
tons, and lost 25 ships of 131,846
tons, leaving 1206 ships of 2,802,087
tons.
Poland had a much smaller merchant fleet. Two of her biggest
ships, the Pilsudski and the aBtory.
came under British control, but the
14,294-ton Pilsudski was sunk last
November 26. The 14,187-ton Batory
still is in British hands.
Some of the vessels of these
countries are in American ports,
others in ports more distant from
Britain.
Three weeks ago there were 32
ships flying the Norwegian flag tied
up in New York harbor alone, besides nine Danish ships, six Netherlands, including the Nleum Amsterdam, flagship of the Holland-
America Line, four Belgian, 28 British and five French, Including the
giant liner Normandie.
Britain has not released figures
on the output of their shipyards,
but it Is presumed to be large.
In the 51 months of the last war,
the British lost 7,830,765 tons of
commercial shipping, including fishing craft. Submarines accounted for
nearly 90 per cent.
A British Admiralty statement
broadcast by the British Broadcasting Croporation today and heard
here by N.B.C., said the British
Navy had escorted nearly 100,000,-
000 gross tons of shipping since the
war started.
This, the announcement said, represents a cargo-carrying capacity
of about 150,000,000 tons. It reported 47 British and neutral ships
were lost while being thus convoyed.
ALDBRSHOT (CP)-A soldier,
returning to camp after being evacuated from Dunkirk, found 30 letters awaiting him. All the letters
had been to France or Belgium and
had followed him around.
Italy Claims Right

It argued that Britain, holding

"Lack of Men and Underestimation
Nazi Strength Caused French Defeat"
MONTREAL, July 16 (CP)-An-
dre Maurois, noted author who Was
French official eyewitness with the
British Expeditionary Force in
France, said today that lack of
men and a "foolish" underestimation of Germany's striking power
led to the French collapse.
"We should have realized that
what we wanted was men and more
men, but we didn't ask for them,"
the tanned, dapper writer said in
an interview. "That was a grave
mistake."
Maurois, commissioned as Captain, had been attached to B. E. F.
headquarters at Arras as liaison
officer, a Job he held in the First
Great War. He arrived here last
weekend to join his wife, who previously fled France.
"We were so optimistic, we didn't
realize how fast and how much the
Germans worked and we stuck to
the old Idea that defence was better than offence," said Maurois.
'The last few months have taught
us one lesson—that the time factor
is the most important thing. Ten
divisions today are better than 200
divisions In a year's time.
Maurois said that as the Germans
marched into Belgium May 10, the
B. E. F. moved forward to Louvain.
Four days later the B. E. F. started
to retreat. "We couldn't understand
it then, but later we realized it was
because the Germans had broken
the Frencn line at Sedan."
Back the B. E. F. went to Brussels,  and  then   the   real   trouble
started. "It was about this time the
civilian population began to panic.
The Germans knew how to cause
one, too. Just one bomb In each
little village and hamlet, and within
an hour the places were deserted
and the roads were choked with
fleeing, terrified evacuees. We could
not move.
"I don't think the British army
has ever fought better," Maurois
said, "but they were terribly handicapped by refugees. Everywhere
there were refugees along the slow
retreat through Arras to Aliens."
The author aaid he thougnt the
threatened German Invasion of Britain would be beaten off because
"the British spirit never had reached a higher level—and that is a big
thing."

LONDON, July 16 (CP Cable).-
Weekly flying boat service begun

force of 600,000 men and hundreds
of ships for the attack on Greal
Britain.
The ships, according to the newspapers are lying along the coast from
Brest, France, to Bergen, Norway,
The paper continued that a planned attack by these forces on the
night of July 9-10 was delayed because of a disagreemnt between
Hitler's generals. .
The fleet's escort of light gunboats,
submarines and fighting planes, to
be preceded by minesweepers and
waves of bombers were ready when
one group ot generals headed by
Genl Walther von Bauchitsch, commander ln chief of the German
army, protested that it was too dangerous, the paper said.
A modified plan of the attack may
be launched Friday night, the paper
declared.
The dispatch said that Gen. Wilhelm Keitel, chief of the general
staff, defended the original plan, but
that Hitler nevertheless delayed the
attack to consider the objections
The Von Brauchitsch group, the
dispatch continued, argued that
minesweepers could not clear lanei
well enough for such a fleet and
that two thirds of the force might
be lost, leaving 200,000 men to risk
destruction.
The Italian command, the paper
also said, was reported to be opposed to the plan.
The dispatch concluded With the
report that Hitler had decided on a
modified Keitel plan which may be
launched Friday night if weather
permits.

NEW YORK, (CP)-Hank Danning ii hitting it and they don't
catch lt. That, from Harry the
Horse himielf, ll why he led major
league batters into the July itretch
with a .380 average.
The matter thus simply explained,
the big Giant catcher tore Into a
plate of bacon and eggs. Between
bites, though, he amplified hli explanation.
"It'i mottly luck. A guy never
'knowi. One Ume you hit a icorch-
«r—and It's a blngle. Next time up,
another scorcher—but aome guys
right there to pull it in.
"I'm not hittin' any harder than
lut year (.313). The fielder! just
aren't there when they fall."
More bacon and eggs, then; "Tell
you though, I am waltin' longer.
Gettin' a better eye on the ball De-
lore I let go. And I'm trying to
ehorteh by ittide it the bat. You
know, itepplng Into the ball with

WIFE HELP! SOME
Now coffee. A satisfying gulp and
an appreciative glance across the
table toward beautiful, blonde Mrs.
Harry Danning, a bride of six
monthi. -
"Being married has helped more
than you'd realise. You know, a
regular life, meals like thii at the
same hour, food as you want tt.
Used to eat dinner at aeven one
Bight, 10 the next. That'i bad.
Hank. 28, and the former Dlan

;lait December ("but I'd known her
a long tune before"). T|iey were
married" in January. Big Harry
thlnks-^-and eo doei she—that it
was the lucky atart of a lucky year.
Danning broke in with Bridgeport
ot the Eaaterh Leigue in 1931. The
New York Gianti called the big
awkward youngster In from Buffalo ln 1933 but he caught only
three games after hli arrival In
July. In 1934 he played aecond fiddle to Mancuso, a more experienced
catcher, but hit .330 In pinch assignments and during the few
games he caught. Despite that good
mark the only chance he got In 1933
waa during a 12-gamc period when
Mancuso was out with an Injured
ami. A foul tin broke hia hand In
1936 and he got into only 32 games.
When a broken finger stopped Man-
CUio in 1937 Hank stepped into the
breach, caught 93 games, batted
near .300—but bad to step out when
his hand waa rebroken just es he
wu going hottest. He caught 97 of
the firet 60 games in 1938—when he
was laid low for three weeks by
Illness. But he worked 130 games
that.year, batted .306.
LAYI PERFORMANCE
Ha handled the catching Job in
US of the Giants' 152 contests in
1939 and batted .313. Hut the old bad
luck wai there. A leg infection kept
him benched tor three weeks and
the Giants lott nine in ■ row.
Danning figures he'll do better
than the 74 runs be batted ln last
year. He's batting farther back in
the order than the second or third
place shots he occupied in 1939, hat
mora chance to send runt across.
Harry the Horie (he doesn't
know where the name started)
thinks it's improbable hell win the
batting championship. A catcher
works too hard. Cool weather has
helped him to date. When It gett
hot, he sayi, he may tire more easily, have lesi heft in his awing.
But he'i aiming for the title. After all—who knows?

 Labor Members Protest
Postponement of Plan
to   Evacuate  Children
By J. F. SANDERSON
(Canadian Pren Staff Writer).
LONDON, July 16 (CP Cable).-
. storm of protest and indignation
_eveloped in the House of Commons
today when Clement Attlee, Lord
Privy Seal and Deputy Leader of
the House, announced that the Government scheme to evacuate children to Canada and the United
States has been postponed.
Labor members protested at the
thousands of children from wealthy
homes, some of them titled children
and children of members of the Government, already sent overseas
when poor children were forced to
atay in the United Kingdom under
war conditions.
One Labor member, C. G. Ammon,
laid he was convinced that the
whole scheme was -just a camouflage to get children with wealthy
parents out of the country.
Mr. Attlee said the scheme was
mspended because the navy found
.t impossible to provide the necesiary escort vesels for the Atlantic
crossing but that the Government
fcoped that at some future date the
lituation at sea would permit it being resurrected.
Mr. Attlee disclosed that a eer-
thin number" of children would be
evacuated in a few cases where it
might be possible to provide proper
E
Convoy.
"There ls a limited number,"
ho
tontlnued referring to convoys, and
'to that extent the scheme will go
forward and will be giving some
opportunity to children from state-
tided schools."
He said that the private evacuation of children would not be stopped but that the risks involved must
fce shouldered by parents.
Labor members gave notice that
they intended to debate the full
ouestion in the House later.
Meanwhile, the registration of
-ehildren under the evacuation
■cheme has not' been stopped. Already 80,000 have applied to go to
Canada and 30,000 to the United
Ktates. Altogether some 200,000 applications have been made, apparently applying for unspecific destin-
{tions or from Australia, South Ai-
ica or New Zealand.
G. A. Griffiths, Labor, said there
fc "considerable feeling" in areaB
tvhich have been bombed because
}vell-to-do children are able to leave
or havens of safety while others
must remain.
Geoffrey Shakespeare, Dominions
Under-Secretary, made no reply
when a Labor member asked If he
Was ."aware that there Is great Indignation at the number of children
of cabinet ministers who have left
the country."
Mr. Shakespeare disclosed that the
number of children between five
and 15 years who left tho United
Kingdom in June for the Dominions
tnd the United States were 1572 and
806, respectively. Of these 1752 had
normal residences In the United
Kingdom.
"That is so," Mr. Shakespeare replied when asked if it were correct
that there are roughly 200,000 applications of children for evacuation
and about 20,000 offers from the
Dominions.
When the lack of shipping was
being discussed. Col, Joalah Wedgwood, Independent, asked If it were
not a fact'that 8000 Frenchmefi were
transported home with arms and
machine guns.
"That ls quite another question,"
Anthony Eden, War Secretary, Interjected.
In his statement Mr. Attlee said
unfortunately a radical change in
the lituation since the evacuation
applications were first Invited occurred as a result of the loss of the
services of a large part of the French
navy.
"In the present circumstances It
Is essential to concentrate our whole
naval forces on the task of meeting
the overriding demands of national
security," he said. "It ls this consideration alone that forced the government reluctantly to the conclusion they must postpone operation
of the scheme."
He said similarly there) must be a
postponement of the special arrangements for transferring certain
schools to Canada.
Mr. Attlee denied a statement by
William Lunn, Labor, that "Now you
have got some thousands of rich
people's children overseas there will
be no opportunity for the children
of elementary schools."
He declared the purpose of the
government scheme was that there
must be a proper proportion of
children from elementary schools
and added that "there will be a
certain number of children going in
the future in convoyed vessels."
"Some 3000 or 4000 of these children will be going from grant-aided
schools under various private
schemes that have been put by the
authorities and bodies In the United
States and the Dominions," he continued. "But it is hoped to resume
this scheme whenever the military
situation will allow convoys."
ANNOUNCED IN CANADIAN
HOUSE
OTTAWA, July 16 (CP)-Decision of the British Government to
suspend transfer of Britain children
to Canada or the United States, as
explained in the British Parliament,
was announced in the House of Commons here today by Hon. T. A. Crerar, Minister of Mines and Resources.
Mr. Crerar read answers made !n
the British House to a question asked today. These indicated that because British naval units were needed for purposes of national security
it was impossible to provide adequate escort for 'convoys bringing
children to America.
It was also explained that because
of the need for all money available
for war purposes it would be impossible to permit transfer of funds
to Canada or the United States for
support of schools transferred from
the British Isles.
Announcement in the House ol
Commons in London today that the
dominions were prepared to take
not more than 20.000, was received
with some surprise here where it
was understood the province of Ontario alone estimated its eventual
capacity as running toward that figure.
U.S. Opposes the
(losing of Burma
Road to China
WASHINGTON, July 18 (API-
fhe State Department announced
United States opposition today to
Hie closing of world trade arteries
luch as the Burma Road and the
French Indo-China Railway, over
which China receives most of its
War Supplies.
Japan had demanded that Great
Britain close the Burma route.
A statement from Secretary Hull
taid:
'The Secretary ot State in reply
to Inquiries by Press correspondents
lor comment in regard to reports
that at the instance of the Japanese
Government, the British Government would prohibit temporarily
the movement of certain commodities through Burma into China over
what is known as the Burma Route,
laid that this Government has a
legitimate interest in the keeping
open of arteries of commerce in
every part of the world and colliders that -action such as this, if
taken, and such as was taken recently in relation to the Indo-China
Railway, would constitute unwarranted interpositions of obstacles to
World trade."
Chilean Minister
Studies U.S. Note
SANTIAGO. Chile. July 18 (AP).
—Foreign Minister Cristobal Saenz
laid today that he has receive^ and
is studying a note from the United
States on establishment of a pro-
tertorate over European possession in Central and South America.
Details of the communication
were not immediately forthcoming
(It is probable that the note relates to Latin-American proposals
for a protectorate over European
possessions in South and Central
America — already advanced —
rather than anv proposal originating with the United States.)
OTHER COUNTRIES SOUNDED
WASHINGTON, July 16 (AP). -
Informed persons said today the
United States is sounding out other
American countries on their attitude toward establishment of a
protectorate over European possessions in the Western Hemisphere.
This sounding, they said, was part
of the preliminaries on several
questions likely to come before the
Inter-American conference opening
at Havana Saturday.
State Department officials said
they had no knowledge of a formal
note to the Chilean Government
proposing such a protectorate but
It was not denied thst Ambassador
Claude Bowers may have presented
t memorandum on the subject.

Governor-General
Is "Regular Guy"
lo Air Force Men
By R08S MUNRO
Canadian Presi Staff Writer
OTTAWA, July 16 (CP) - The
Earl of Athlone has paid formal
calls here on the chiefs of the
Canadian fighting forces, but Ts
the Air Force men at Rockcliffe
Air Station who really know him.
As one flying man there put it,
the Governor-General is "a regular
guy."
At the air station the best itory
told in the mess is the one about
His Excellency and bis riding privileges at Rockcliffe; how he broke
Air Force rules by an authorized
canter over air station grounds and
submitted good naturedly when
taken to task by a young flying
officer.
The Earl is ah enthusiastic horseman, and he found a good bridle
Sath from Rideau Hall grounds to
ockcliffe Airdrome, where surrounding fields are splendid for his
morning canter.
But it is an important air base,
closely guarded. When the Governor-General galloped acrou the
fields fbr the first time the flying
officer ordered him to' stop and in
formed him such Incursions nere
were not permitted unless authorized.
His Excellency,'somewhat taken
abaift by this young man, leaned
down from his horse and said: "But
I'm Athlone."
"I know, sir," replied the officer,
"but you still are not allowed to
ride in this area without permiS'
sion."
Lord Athlone cordially Inquired
about getting permission and wai
told to ride around to the main
gate. So the Commander-nl-Chlef
ol the Canadian forces rode to tne
airport entrance.
In the meantime the flying officer
excitedly telephoned a wing commander of the incident. The wing
commander bundled into his un;-
form and rushed to greet Hia Ex
cellency.
Then in the small guard house
full authority was written out for
the Earl to take his daily ride over
the air station grounds, and, laugh,
ing heartily at the episode, he ac
'cepted the wing commander's invitation to breakfast in the officeri1
mess.
Now the Governor-General gallops his horse through the area every morning, and he's one of the
most welcome visitors at the a.r
field. 	
Germans Claim
Heavy Toll at Sea
BERLIN, July 16 (AP).-Today's
German high command communique;
"One submarine reported sinking
23,600 tons of enemy merchant shipping space. Another U-boat shot one
enemy tanker of 9000 registered tons
from a strongly protected convoy.
During repeated raids on July 15
on British shipping in the Channel
we succeeded in sinking three merchant ships totalling 18,000 registered tons and damaging by bomb
hits additional merchantmen,
(The claims were not confirmed
in London.)
"In the coune of the day, the air
force, furthermore, raided British
airports at Pembroke. St Athan.
Plymouth and Bicester, and port
facilities at Cardiff and Brighton as
well as an air-plane factory at Yeovil. The bombs cause numerous fires
and explosions.
(German air activity over Britain
was light yesterday. The few bombs
dropped caused minor damage.)
"Last night British planes again
dropped bombi on some places in
Northern and Western Germany
without damage."

TO THE EDITOR. SPOKANE, W.ASH.
NELSON DAILY NEWS, JULY 13,
NELSON, B. C.
DEAR SIR:
It is gratifying to receive so many letters from our friends ln Canada
asking for further information concerning Passports, which are now necessary on account of regulations put into effect July 1 by the Government at
Washington. We are glad to cooperate in any way which will smooth out
any difficulties that may arise.
From a gentleman in Sheep Creek we have a letter asking!
How long does it take to get a Canadian Passport which will enable
me to visit Spokane?
We know of cases in which Passports have been obtained from Ottawa very quickly but we understand that at the present time there is
congestion in the Passport Office, so that delays are unavoidable. To lessen
this pressure and to facilitate the issuance of Passports to British Columbians,
a Passport Office has been opened at Vancouver. It is in the Canadian Immigration Office. From this office you can obtain a Passport within a few
days of the arrival of your application.
Another question which arrived In Monday's mail Is from a friend
at Trail. It is:
Does a Passport Photograph have to be especially taken or will a
good snapshot of myself be sufficient?
It Is better to have the Passport Photograph specially taken. Commercial photographers have a special rate in most instances for these pictures. Commercial photographers know the exact size required and the
correct style of photo. The cest is small for the five prints required, two for
the Canadian Passport and three for the United States Visa.
I remain, Yours Sincerely,
ii I

LONDON, July « (CP.-Cable)-
An attempt by Sir John Anderson,
Home Secretary, to rush a drutic
War Zone Courts Bill through all
stages at one sitting provoked such
« itorm tonight In the Home of
Commons that the Government had
to be content with second reading.
" The bill provides for the establishment ln war rones of special
courts with power to pass on civilians the death sentence for such
. offences u looting and forcing a
way past a sentry. There would be
eo Jury, no appeaL
.. While the House wu lympa-
." thetic to the need of stern mea-
,. aures tc safeguard the State, it
■ - refused to be hurried into one
j. of the greatest revolutions ln the
. law that Britain has ever known.
Hearing how a man of judicial
rank or one qualified to exercise high judicial office could lit
I with two local justices without a
_ Jury, the memben told Sir John
I that he must proceed more slowly.
-In response to criticism by H. B.
leei-Smlth, Labor Leader ln the
t£ou_e, that the bill is "too vague"
!»nd a demand by Leslie Hore-Be-
-»s_a, Liberal-National, for iafe-
.guarda when such extreme powers
were handed to the Executive, Sir
John Indicated he would be latia-

Secret Plans of
Tank Is Sought
TORONTO,  3_j   17   «3P..-An
unnamed fugitive from a foreign
land with its secret plans of a
monster tank was sought todiy by
a group working on behalf of Canada at war. For hii technical aid,
they offer him a Government guarantee of freedom ln Canada, which
he entered illegally.
Thli group doei not know the
name of the elusive technician—
but they have hii history ln brief,
told In two letten lut April to
Gordon Sinclair of the Toronto
Star, who he met eight yean ago
ln Hong Kong.
They believe he haa the plans
for a super land-dreadnought because he mailed to Sinclair i roughly-pencilled sketch wtth enough information to indicate he had the
facts. The tank he sketched wu a
heavily-gunned battleihlp - on -
wheels—far more powerful than the
80-ton German tanki which ploughed across France two months after
he milled hli plans.
Through newipaper columni md
penonal advertisements, advances
have been made to the mystery letter writer—with the result only that
he wrote he "liked fresh air" too
well to make himself known. Meantime, he stated, he has a "small Job"
md willj hli flnt money is buying
drifting Instruments to prepare i
detailed plan of the foreign country'i tank.
