LONDON‘, Sept. i2 —(CP) - Cases of smart new clothes and of homemade uilts are arriving in Britain from anada.

Senate Broadcns Defence Powers 0f ll. S. Cov’t

By RIchaPdPLTTul-ner Assoclatld Press Staff Writer

WASHTNGTON. Sept. 13—-(APl— Senate-House conferees broadened a clause empowering the United States Government. to seize indus- trial units for defence purposes today and then gave the peace- time conscription bill their final approval.

The administration was hopeful that the measure could be on its way to the White House for President Roosevelts signature in a day or so.

The joint army and navy select- ive service committees, which has been making plans for conscrip- tion for 14 years, stood by ready to put its arrangements into effect as soon as Congress votes funds. The first step, under the terms of the measure. would be a procla- mation by the President, and with- in two weeks after that the mili- tary azid naval officials planned to complete the registration of the men affected-all between 2i and 35 inclusive. Further, they expect- ed to begin drafting men within a mcnth thereafter.

Today the language of the in- dustrial conscription was revised to provide that if an industry re- fused to supply defence materials, and they were unobtainable else- where, the industry could be tak- en over by the government upon a declaration that "the public neces. sity is imperative." The owner would be entitled to rental pay. merits.

France Pays High Price To Conquerors

WGHY‘. France, Sept. la-mp) -The French public was informed officially todaywthat the price it will pa for t German army of aocups on or more than 2.000.000 men is 400,000,000 francs a day.

At the official franc exchange this is more than $8,000,000.

The expenses of the army of oc- cupation had been fixed by the Germans at 20,000,000 reichslnarks daily. But since the Germans also have s fixed rate of exchange of 20 francs to one special reichsmalk, the bill thus mounted to 20 times 20.000000 reichsmarks.

The big payment for the upkeep of France's conquerors is only part of the price France must pay for losing the war. Property dc- struction in the invaded regions has not been computed but is esti- nlated st many millions.

An estimated 100,000 men were killed. Pensions for their depen- dents will be required for many years.

The burden of upkeep of pris- oners held in the occupied zones rests with the French people in cities and towns nearest the pris- on camps. Thev are expected to provide foodstuffs.

Germans in the occupied zone are spending their monthly wages liberally. buying many things they have not had in a long time. They are using the special marks which the French must accept at the rate of 20 francs for one mark. Btcrekeepers turn the marks in to the Bank of France, receiving francs in exchange, so individuals are not the losers.

The Bank of France has its vaults full of these special mark.-

Anniversary 0f Canadian Army Corps

By FRANK FLAHEBTY Canadian Press Staff Writer UITAWA, Sept. l3--(Ct') -— A quarter of a century ago a Canadian corps of two divisions was formed in France to ilgnt an enemy bent 0n world conquest. This annivers- ary. a memorable one in Canadian history because of the performances of the Canadian Corps in the first ,Great War finds Canadian troops again confronting the same enemy.

_In ‘the last war the 1st Canadian :DiVl_5i0ll was a battle-hardened or- ganization of trench-fighters when the 2nd Division joined it to form a Canadian corps.

Today the 1st Canadian Division of the second Great War is in bat- tle position, but has suffered no .battie casualties to speak of. And the men making up the division, while ready for trench or any other kind of warfare. are especially train- ed for mobile warfare.

In the battle of Britain their job will be to rush to points where ene- my troops may land and strike hard. The 2nd Division also in Britain. will shortly join the iirst in an all-Canadian corps, the organiza- tion for which is already function- ing under the Gen. A. G. L. McNaughton with an- other empire dlvision forming the second half with the 1st Division.

when the Canadian corps canle into being on Sept. 13. 1915, with the arrival of the 2nd Division in France, the ist Division had been through a lot of fighting. Many Canadians had become casualties, particularly in the second battle of lYpres of April, i915, in_which the Canadians first distinguished them- selves.

The first corps commander was Lt-Gen. E. A. H. Aiderson a British officer, who took charge of the first Canadian contingent on its arraal in England in the fall of i914 and later led the lst Division to Frailce. ‘Later, the corps, which Brew i0

four divisions. was commanded by Gen. sir Julian Byns. later Lord Byng, who became Governor-Gener- al 0f Canada after the war. In the last years of the war a Canadian 0!- ficer. Sir Arthur Currie, command- ed the corps.

April 9. 1917. is an anniversary which will be remembered as long as deeds of arms are recorded in iCanadian history. Then the corps captured Vimy Ridge. long consid- ered by the enemy a; an impreg- nable position.

In nearlv four vears of 118031118. the Canadian forces operating on the western front. captured 45,000 prisoners. 850 artillerv guns. and 4.- 200 machine guns. They re-captur- ed 130 towns and villages and lib- Ierated 310.000 French and Belgian civilians from German rule.

LONDON. Sept. l3 —(CP)—Bl'i- tain, involved in pre arations for its greatest battle, stil is about the most fertile place in the world for tire growth of new organizations. They pop up overnight, usually without any warning or announce- men .

For instance, one day you read a letter to one of the newspapers. It complains, say about the latk ..f policewomen. There are not en- ough of these wctnen who patrol the streets and parks. in their blue military-style uniform with its ionger-than-average skirts, black stockings and shoes white gloves and tropical-style blue nel- met. So the writer insists there sould be more.

Somebody else thinks so too and writes to the paper to say that po- lice chiefs should be compelled to hire women, who understand cer- tain cases better than men and can handle certain situations better.

That is all that is needed. "'I‘he Women's Police Campaign Ccm- mittee" suddenly is born. It lists Hon. Mrs. Home Peel as chairman and claims suppo:t of "20 national organizations."
