The Berliners spoke their minds. The crowd grew so threatening the party leaders became nervous and ordered the guards to fire- into the air.

The affair became so widely known that the leaders had to gay with their lives. They had

rokeu the one condition under which Hitler allows his Nazi comrades liberties at the expense of the population. They had

been found out. _

These Berlin people were no rabble. Their attitude represent.- ed the true feelings of the German relation and they had to be calm-

Therefore Hitler ordered the execution cf the Bydgosscs party leaders as doser rs. Party offi- in Berlin. ' cd about the dent. were directed to say it was “merely shooting ractice."

Vast ‘llefulec amp

Germany has become a vast red ee cam/p, and the refines probes-n is one reason for the ' ,, which has developed be- tween the Nani party. the army and the ordinary civilian.

I saw at first hand an example of this cleavage when I travelled on a refugee train from Scrau. at the Silesiari front, to Berlin.

Our train was scheduled to at 10.30 A. M. The people

of Sorau tried to storm aboard but the were fended off by armed pa ylinen and policemen who o a cordon around the sta- ticn. Three hours later Russian

tanks reached BOTH-I'd outskirts and only then was the evacuation pennltted to begin.

1n the cases of all but some 200,- familios in the high income groups there will be some benefit from the family allowances. In the cases of the higher income fam- ilies the allowance payments would drained back intc the treasury through income tax. Anyone could figure whether they would benefit from the family al- lowances. A man could work out his income tax for this year and then work it out again on the as- sumption that he had no children. The difference would be the ex- emdition he is allowed for his ch dren and thisamount could be com sred with the amount he would rece ve under the allowance pay-

meir .

The scale of family allowance payments is $5 poi- month r a ch id under six; S6 per month for a chilc betweenslx and. 10; S7 per h for a child between 10 and l3. and ti! per month for a child between 13 and l6. For the fifth child the allowance is reduced by $1 per month, for the sixth and sev- enth children by s2 per month, andi for the eighth and each additional child by $3 per month.

The rate of exemption for children under the Income Tax Act had not been -changed. The exemption would ‘only be reduced bv the a- mount by which an individual be- nefited from farni allowances. This meant that no one would be "worse off" by reg

plying

Na ional registration of the ap- proximately 3,500,000 children un- der 16 years of age will get under way tomorrow. Mr. Claxtori said. Family allowance application forms now were in the hands of post of- fice officials and would be distri- buted in eight provinces. Registra- tion already has been completed in Prince Edward Island, which served as a testing ground for re- gistration procedure.

HALIFAX, March 2i — Mark- ing an innovation in the conveni- cnces afforded to soldiers return- llig from Canada, two casualties who returned aboard the hospital ship "Lady Nelson" on Monday were able to 5198K to their fam- ilies by long-distance telephone from Halifax Military Hospital. They were Cpl. G. A. Barkhouae, who called its aunt at Berwick. and Ptc. W. I. Green who was able io speak to his mother at St. Eleonora. P. E. l.

This service is one of the out- lets for the newly-created Hos- pital Gifts Fund. set up st the suggestion of the District Officer Commanding. Brigadier D. A. White, D.S.0., and administered by a coln-mit of which the chairman is Lt-Ool. H, F. C.

MC. District Chaplain, Protestant.

The fund is built up out of the accumulated profits of and regimental institutes in the District and this placing of long- dlstarlce ‘phone facilities at.thc dimcsal of . urning soldiers is only one of its outlets. The idea behind the creation of the fund was that large undistributed can-
