—SENSATIONAL PICTURE “MAN HUNT" AT CAPITOL THEATRE, S'SlDE -- The sensa- tional picture "Man Hunt" starring Walter Pidgeon and Joan Bennett opened at the Capitol Theatre last night and was loudly acclaimed. The picture is the inside story of Germany under Nazi rule and gives a graphic description of the Gestapo methods and how they stick at nothing to track down a suspect. The scenes are laid in Germany and England just prior to the war and give a thrilling account of an Eugtshman’: escape from Germany and his final vic- tory over the Gestapo. The story is a dramatic breath-taking tale and grips you to the end.—S.

Free French corvette Alissa was ,

tcrpedoed some 30o miles off the coast of Nervfoundland recently- with a loss of 36 men of the crew.

The 36 crew members were klllcti instantly. Cormack told reporters, when the torpedo smashed throuah the forecastle of the ship shortly after deck and exploded with a blast that ripped he Free French ship apart.

Cormack said he received two fractured ritbs when he was hurled mil: of his chair in a small writing room and struck by parts of an opposite wall blown out by the ex- pcsion. Despite the injuries, he rushed to the deck and used a flashlight to flash an SOS signal to Ship; in a convoy of which the Alissa had been a member.

The sailor said his ship was in eonrvoy on a retur-i trip front Bri- tain when they received orders leave the convoy and St. John's, Nfld. The corvette was proceeding far in advance of the other ships when the tomedoinl occurred, he said,

fa substantial. ' out a long and unusual-

‘lhrmigla ‘ ly successful political career the Rt.

Hon. Mackenzie King has enjoyed the practically solid support of the French Canadian representatives. To them he owes much of his great suoese. Among them he found pe-- hepa his ataunchest friend. No fair minded person would be surprised if, in his declining years, he sought to hold that support until the end. pa the French Canadian hostility to conscription for oversees service is not really e0 deep seated an it appeared to me. Many French Canadian members spoke in the plebiscite debate. Quite e few were agreeable to follow Mr. King in the holding of the plebiscite. But not one so far as I could understand would vote for conscription or ad- mit anything ln its favor. ‘Iireir opposition to conscription must have had somethingasitsbasls when it started years ago. It has since been assiduously fostered by some who should have had greater fore- sight. And now it seems to have become a fetish, something sacro- sanct, dee seated as religion, a- zainst wh ch argument or logic is of little avail. Perhaps it can be, perhaps it is being circumscribed. The plebiscite was Mr. King's idea. of surmounting the objection, or gaining time in which something might turn up. Only in the face of need for conscription could there be need for release from pledges a- gainst it.

Supporting The Plebisclte

"So the plebiscite will be held whatever action may thereafter fol-

the very greatest majority possible. When it, carries, as it . Conservatives should get and will deserve the praise. Seldom indeed, Ls a great political party called upon to make effective, a plan devised only to bolster the support. which silstains its adversary.

“Perhaps (and that must be our hope) a large supporting vote for the plebiscite may. in some meas- ure, sugar coat the pill which the French Canadians, unless very for- tuitous conditions rapidly develop. must inevitably take.

"So, disposing of the plebiscite we come in turn to Canada's war

make war with all its might. There are differences as to method but all want to use to the limit Can- ada's great physical strength and more important still all of her spir-

in itual strength-the strength of God.

They want. to see Qhe utilization of all of Canada's mechanical resour- ces, all of Canada's productive re- sources in every field, for the com- plete mobilization of ifs muxint-im fighting power. This is the feeling everywhere - and everywhere it seems to be met, in some sense at least, with what for want of a bet- ter word is called ‘frustration!’ If a plebiscite were to ask: “Do you believe that Canada now is waging war with all its might" the answer would be a resounding "No" from coast to coast. Nobody is satisfied. No member at Ottawa, in any group, expresses satisfaction with our nearness to a total war effort. Many
