Air Women Unaware 0f ll-Boat Throat

(CP Ca.ble)- The third and larg- est contingent of tho R.C.A.F. wo- men's Division arrived recently at this great British port after a sub- marine doglged voyage in which most of the girls were unaware of their danger.

They disembarked at this harbor, which has seen one Canadian con- tingent sfter another march across the gangplsnlrs since the war star- ted. most of them not knowing that they had been stalked for a time by U-boats.

There was one night when they were herded into the ship's lounge and told to put on theiir lifebelts. ‘Ihey remained in the lounge for four hours before the submarine alert was over.

“The girls behaved beautifully, oi’ course,” said Squadron Officer Kathleen Walker of Ottawa, Can- ada.’s senior Air Force Women's Di- vision officer who conducted the group overseas.

Some of the women are looking forward to meeting their husbands overseas. The meetings will be great events for them as they were unable to inform their men that they were leaving for Britain.

Such was the case with Cpl. Betty M. Carter of Quebec City WhOSo husband is Capt. Owen Car- ter of the Royal Canadian Armv Service Co . ,

War Sitiiaiion Last Night

By Glenn Babb, Associated Press War Analyst

‘ Montgomery's new victory over Rommel, setting him in flight once more with the Americans hammering at his flanks, brings close the question of how the German chieftaln will make his exit from

There has been much discussion of an Axis Dunkerque from some blasted strip of Tunsian coast, some of it suggesting that this would cap the Allied triumph. But Dunkerque was perhaps history's most success- ful evacuation hy sea from a lost battlefield, as well as an heroic ad- venture. A major objective of the Allied command surely la to prevent Rommel or Von Arnlm from achieving anything approaching the mea-

Dcubtleaa it hopes to present to the world the spectacle of a great Axis army brought to the same desperate straits as confronted the Bri- leached the English Channel at the climax of the great Allied disasie in Western Europe. and then make sure there shall be no comparable “miracle of deliverance."

There is good basis for this hope. Dunkerque ls 50 miles from the nearest English coast. The possible Tunisian escape beaches are about twice sa far from the nearest friendly shores. If the Axis forces should fight their way to Cape Bon, the last extremity of Tunisia, they aiill would be 90 miles across the strait from Sicily. Either of their main ports, Tunis and Bizerie, are 150 miles from the Sicilian coast. Should they at- tempt to reach Sardinia from Bizerte they would have 120 miles of water

Dunkerque was made possible by the British command of the seas and local superiority in the air. There is no reason to expect the Axis can scrape together anything like tho evacuation flotilla, small ships gather- ed from all the nearby British coasts, Evldlently an effort to match this is in train, for there are reports of shipping concentrations in Sicilian, Sardlnlan and other ports. There is the possibility that the Italian navy may be called on for a finish fight, but that probably is exactly what Admiral Cunning-lam and hi; men

that carried the B.E.I-‘. home.

' $2, 500, 000

nance Committee,

Edward Islannd in the Fourth Vic- tory Loan will be $2,500,000. This is the largest amount of money ever asked from the people of this Province at one time, and will dc- mand the united effort, and whole hearted support of every citizen if it. is to be reached.

Mr. McKlnnon is confiden , how-

ever, that the same spirit o splen- did co-cperatlon, the same undying loyalty to the cause of Empire which has characterized the re- sponse to every appeal for men and money in the past. will once again prevail, and Prince Edward Island will preserve unsulllcd her splendid reputation of supporting every phase of the war effort. "'I‘his Province has been singular- ly blessed enjoying as it docs un- usual prosperity, far removed from the scene of actual com-bat," Mr. McKlnncn said. "We are proud of our gallant fighting sons, who in military, naval, and air units the world over are ready to lay down their lives so that the decent Canadian way of life may be pre- served and handed down to gener- ations yet unborn, and are deter- mined to provide them with mod- ern tools of war, and all possible material comforts." Mr. McKinnon said that while ‘every member of the National War Finance Committee is aware of the immensity of the job, they are con- fident ‘hat when the results are all in another triumph will be re- corded for the people of this grand little Island. This is total war: it demands total effort on the part of every man, woman and child.

Tunisian Stand Is Death-Trap For Axis Ships

LONDON, April 7—(AI') - Thc Axis‘ Tunisian stand is fast becoming a death trap for Italy's already hard-hit ship- ping, with British submarine attacks on a light cruiser, two tankers and a supply ship boosting to 40 or more the num- ber of Italian ships sunk or badly damaged in a single week of the Allied naval- acrial onslaught.

A cruiser of the new Regolo clasiawhich the Admiralty an- nounced had been attacked with a consequent explosion but otherwise unobserved results in the Strait of Messina, was the first of Italy's warships larger than destroyer size known to have been caught within Allied aerial, surface, or undersea striking range since last Dec- ember. »

The Admiralty announced that besides a torpedo h on the cruiser, one tanker was torpedocd and believed sunk off Sicily. another damaged and possibly sunk off Cape Spartlvento at the southern tip of Italy. and a medium-sized supply shin tor- prriocd in a convoy near Marli- timo.
