The first two warning: lasted l5 mtlenutes each and the third 55 min- u s.

Reports from the western front said that French planes downed four Nazi planes in fl hting over German territory, an that one plane was downed by the Royal Air Force.

Two of the planes downed by the Rench were said by the British Broadcasting Corporation to have been German Dornier planes of the type known as "flying ncils."

"The French patrol suddenly met the two Dorniers and 10 Mes- serschmitts while they were over ” said the broadcast. “The French pilot scored hits with his cannon and one engine of the German machine burst into flames and the plane crashed.

"The second Dorriler was chased by another French pilot and after a. running fight the German ma- chine nose-dived into the ground." The Air Ministry announced that two British planes failed to re- turn from an engagement over the North Sea today in which one Ger- man plane was destroyed."

Germany has announced that she regards herself as entitled to destroy any neutral ship en route to any Bri- tish port, including contraband control harbors, and there have, moreover, been repeated cases of vessels being destroyed on a voy- age between two neutral ports when the vessel had no intention of touchin at a British port at all. It is obv ous that the German Government are engaged in an in- discriminate campaign of destruc- tion throughout waters in which their unnotified mines are laid or in which their submarines are in a position to operate.

The Allies, on the other hand. have never destroy- ed nor injured a single neutral ship or taken a sin le neutral life.

AIR NAVIGATION SCIENTIFIC JOB

IONDON, April 6—(CP) - Path- findln in the clouds keeps the naviga or one of the busiest men in the crew when a Royal Air Force bomber makes a long-dist- ance reconnaissance flight over Germany. He has no time to relax and enjoy the scenery, no time to "and-er what sort of a reception the invader will get. over enemy territory.

Beio e the take-off he must work out his course from data provided by the operations room--including maps, photographs, details of en-

emy defences and wgther condi- ;

tions. especially wind, 0n the flight the navigator must check his bearing continually, al- lowlllll for wind and drift. He is the official reporter of the flight l-Ie keeps a detaiied log, written in standard form so if he is wounded someone else can take over. Also he may be called upon drop, bombs. leaflets or flares. Sometimes the plane is ordered bv the base to change its course on route. Complex reckoning instruments help to overcome the dulllng effect of high altitudes on even the keenest brains. Generally the navigator slﬁs at a special table close to the pilot. i; sages he gives the pilot are wrltt-sn for accuracy. aver e telephone they may be dis- r

The nevigetofs training is long and arduous. It comprises two months at an initial training wing, l9 weeks navigation training. eight weeks bombing and gunnery, then six weeks at an operailonal training unit.

SPRING'S GENTLE SPIRIT

To John Burroughs, who sew so much in Nature and told it all so well, we owe the delight- ful description of the BLuebird - “eartih color below and sky color above."

Coming as the bird does. very early in the spring, before the eartli has taken on the faintest tinge of green with the sprcut- ing of vegetation, and when the skies are clear and blue, we can . canily see how this mun of the

01111100115 511W. in our beautiful Bluebird, the color scheme of Nature.

Nor is Nature reflecting her

colors alone in this early spring bird. It would seem as though she had tuned the voice of the

Bluebird to be in keeping with; tlhe soft air olf spring. From, the orchard or the wood lot across the field comes the mellcw, soft, warbling of the male, fitting so. well with this gentle season, We nevcr weary of the song of the Bluebird. What a grating note lt would be on the air had the bird a harsh chatter or a strident scream!

The Bluebird is true thrush He belongs to a very musical family, for the thrushes are among our most gifted songsters. But whcreas it will be April, or even May. before the Hermit ‘Ilhrusb. the Word Thrush, or the Veery ar- rive from the south, the Bluebird. the brightest in piummage of ali the family, is with us as curly i as March. There may be sncw still

upon thc ground: there yet may |be a blizzard. Still, this gentle, richly-colored, sweet-voiced thrirh ; has returned - cne of our earliest

spring birds. l Not only is the Bluebird the most colorful of tlhe thrushes,

but o-f all this refined family he alone is the exception in nesting habits. All the other tlhrushes build carefully ccnstructed new in well-chosen sites. generally in the woodlands. The Bluebird seeks out a hollow limb or some cranny in a fence-post. and dorp down below the entrance a grassy nest is built and the act of blue eggs is laid. (Strange that a Blur-bird should lrty blue eggs when those oi’ most hole-dwellers are white). And this gives you a little hint as to haw you may make a friend of this llfilqlle nester. A bird box. espec- ially one which is constructed along natural llncs to appear like a hal- low limb cr built of rough slabs. will tempt the Bluebird to Iingcr near your garden or in your orch- ard, and raise hi: family. You will then have riot only the pleasure of rich, warbling szng. but your gar- den will be rid of many insect pests, as Bluebirds are insect- eaters.

Racial Breach Continues Bar To India. Unity

(By G. E. POWELL) (Canadian Press Correspondent) CADCITITA, India, April 6—iCP)

—Efforts by the viceroy. 140ml Linlithgow. to persuade Hindus and Moslems to co-operate in the ad- ministration of India so far have met with no response. The breach between the two largest groups in this huge, sub-continent remains as wide as ever.

The British aim for India is ack- nowledged to be ultimate Dominion status. As an immediate step 10rd Linlithgow offered to include a small number of political leaders in the governor-gcnezaks Kitincil But neither the chiefs of Congress nor of the Mosfcm League, with the biggest following in the respec- tive groups, have shown willing- ness to accept this gesture.

M. K. Gandhi nut. the Congress

this way after an inter- view with the viceroy: "The vital difference between the Coiigrcss demand and the viccroys offer cou- sisis in the fact that the vicero_v‘s offer contemplates final determin- ation of India's destiny by the British government; the Congnzss contemplates England accepting the position that the time has come when India must be allowed to dc- termine her own constitution and status. When this is done the ones- tlons oi’ defence, minorities. Princes and European interests will be au- tomatically dixolved."

Moslems Opposed

Congress proposes a constituent assembly. Sordar Vailabbhai Patel, Gandhi's right-hand man, said an assembly consisting not of dcle- gates directly elegtcd by the peo- ple but of the present members oi’ the central and ‘glviiicial legis- latures would meet the pnrtys demand. But the Moslem league and the Liberals lejard a con- stituent assembly on those lines as hzzpracticable and undesirable.

‘The latter urze "a smail confer- ence oi’ 150 m" “ers elected by re- cognized orgcﬁ ions" to settle the constitution after the war. The Moslem League says it will put for- ward concrete proposals "when the British government and other par- ties are seriously and earnestly ready to tackle the question of the future constitution and show read- iness to set up suitable machinery." It professes itself not fully satis- fied with the viccroys latest pro- nouncement and asks that Britain review the constitutional problem afresh.

All Jinnah, leader of the Moslem League. proeaims that India is two nations, Hindu and Moslem. A con- stituent assemblv elected by the il- literate and caste-ridden masses. he says, would be entirely under the influence of the Congress leaders. who would use it to abolish the India States. stifle opposition. and create “a great Hindu nation."

He deildes Gandhi's sugzestion that an impartial tribunal should decide communal issues. Nor is Moslem India prepared to accept the final arbitrwlcnt of Great Britain. Attempts to impose un- qualified western democracy on India must cease.

Efforts to arrange a meeting be- tween Jinnah and Pandit Jawa- harlai Nehru. left wing Congress leader, to settle their political dif- ferences. broke down

Moves by the Moslem premiers} of Bengal and the Punjab to‘ broaden the basis of their min-t istries are regarded as hopeful symptoms of greater political co- operation. Both premiers tend to be independent of Jinnah. The Na- tional Liberal Federation suppozts the move for broader ministries, hoping it will eventually find favor hi the eyes of Congress.

Provincial governors have taken over the administration in seven provinces ln which Congress min- lsiries r Mined —Orissa, Bihnr, the United Provinces, the Central Pro- vinces, Bombov. Madras and the. Northwest Frontier. In doing so the ‘ governors dceared thov would foi- low the general policy of the outgo- ing ministries.

Caution Stands As New Spirit Oi German Army

(Written for The Canadian Press] (By Major General Sir Charles Gwynn)

IDNDON. April 5—(CP) — For lwLll combatants, the situation w- day is vastly different from that alter more than six months of the l" r=t Great. War. Then, Germany had secured possession of Belgium, unzl a great slice of northern

France,

The Allies had had all the worst of it in the first exchange of the war. They had only been saved by the miracle of the Marne. That victory still left them the task of driving the invader out of France

and Belgium, They were in no condition of undertake such a Job.

They had lost 600.000 men-i in the first six months‘ fightin . includ-

officers. Reserves of munitions w!!! exhausted.

Everything pointed to the neces- sity for patience. while the poten- tial strength of the Allies was be- ing developed. But the urge to take offensive action to drive out the invader. and in order to assist Rus- sia. was rresistibie, It resulted in fritteriiig away strength almost as fast. as it could be developed.

In the present war, neither side has as yet Suffered appreciable losses. The German Atmy indeed is at its full strength. For that rea- son its leaders may feel an urge to

=tuke the offensive before the Allies _

attain their maximum power. But the urge implies risk failure. For the French Army is in- tact, at lull strength and has the assistance of the pnvserftil and growing British contingent.

German Army Tradition

To what degree is the risk of fail- ure stiil pri=<ent in the German military mind?

After having fought for four years with skill and gallantry. the German army in 1918 was decisive- ly beaten in tlle field -and by troops who for the most part were almost as exhusted as their ad- vwsaries.

When the now German army came into existence, this legend was made a leading feature in its creed. The tradition of invinci- biiiiy, established by a century of victories. was too valuable to be lost. The legend, of course. was eagerly accepted by the Nazis in support of their doctrines.

The Allies have now to face the new German army. swollen to its maximum size. and impregnated with this belief in its lnvincibility‘.

Whether some of its leaders and

older men conceal secret. doubts.

one cannot say. One may suspect, however, that doubts exist which would cause the leaders to shrink frotn etitorprises which might prove
