OTTAWA, 0:1 21_~—P1'Lmg M1- lster Mackenzie King today began the ‘third year of his third ad. ,minlstratlon of the Canadian Government amid rumors and stirrings on every side m indicate preparations are under way for the next battle at the polls.

Two years ago yesterday, for the third time since 192i, Mr. Mac- kenzie King officially took office as Prime Minister. and-his cab- inet as then constituted‘ remains intact.

Now reports rapidly gain cir- culation that changes are in the making particularly singling out Postmaster General Elliott for the Bench. Works Minister Cardin for the Senate, and other moves to come later as the time for gan- eral election approaches.

On Speaking Campaign

Conservative leader Bennett, who since the defeat of his party in 1035 has confined his public activities almost entirely to those of an energetic and painstaking op- position leader, has again taken to the political Warpath. He open- ed a speaking campaign in the west. last week with an attack upon the Government and ‘its actions, and it ls reported that more is to come. .

From many sources comes the report that. next, step in Conser- vative Party rehabilitation will be appointment or a Dominion or- ganizer in the person of John R. MacNicol member of the House of

Commons for Davenport, Toronto. He would succeed J. Earl Lawson,

Justice Minister Lapointe, whose

long and distinguished service has often been rumored, is understood

ent in assisting Quebec provincial Liberia's to reorganize.

Eventful Period

The first two year; of the ‘pres- ent regime have been eventful. In that period three sovereigns have sat upon the British Throne with the death of King George V, the accession of Edward VIII, and his abdication, and the accession and coronation of George VI.

More and more the Canadian Government has had to take part in international affairs and min- isters of the government have spet a great deal of time in Great Britain and Europe. Domestic pro- blems facing the Government two years ago have been righted to a considerable degree while other problems at home and abroad have come into being.

While unemployment continues a great financial and social prob- lem the need has declined sub- stahtially and revenues have leap- ed forward to such an extent that a balanced budget ls in sight for Finance Minister Dunning.

At present the chief adminis- tration worries are probably the situation in Alberta. and the war between China. and Japan with its constant threat to world peace.

Canada has had to take a share in these worries and probably to- morrow Prime Minister Mackenzie King will announce the Domin- ion's representatfvm at the con-

LIVERPOOL, Oct. 24—(CP Cabie)-—'I'he steamship Manchester Regiment, carrying 11 Canadians among her passengers. one from Halifax, limped back to Liverpool carly today after colliding with the ‘ outbound steamship Clan Mac-

Kenzfe during a‘ raging gale near (he Mersey Bar Lightship.

There were no injuries on either vessel. A huge hole was torn (mid-ships on the port. side of the Clan MacKenzie and she shipped water so quickly she had to be run aground. She was enrouts to Southampton.

Salvage Attempts Fail

Tug and salvage vessels made several attempts to releass the ship but were thwarted by moun- talnous seas. As the fury of the gale increased the position of the crew of 60 Lascars and i5 white officers became alarming. They finally were removed as the ship settled. Tonight only her masts and funnel were vfsiblc above water.

The Manchester Regiment, which had been enroute to MontreaLwas drydocked here. It was found her bow was ripped 17 feet above the waterline, the gash extending 38 feet along the keel. '
