The "old war-horse" of Conserva- tism. who led his party in three general elections and ls known as one of the ablest parliamentary de- baters ever to speak in a Canadian Parliament, was drafted back into the active political arena yesterday by the unanimous standing vote of some 150 delegates at a National Conservative conference.

Royal Navy scored success against

superior force of ItalianWarships

LONDON, Nov. 9—(CP)-Under the guns of a heavier Italian force, a British naval patrol struck a crippling blow nt the supply of Axis armies in North Africa earl)’ today when it “annihilated” two convoys, sinking l0 trans- port vessels and one destroyer and seriously‘ damaging at least one other.

Despite the presence of two 10,000-ton Italian cruisers with their superior firepower and Italian destroyers at least double the number of the British, the British force of two small cruisers and a pair of destroyers came off without a scratch, the Admiralty said.

The brittle was fought south of 'l‘zii'zinio, hard by the heel 0f the Italian boot.

BRITISH FORCE LTNSCATHED

The British force likewise escaped unscathed from a subsequent torpedo plane attack.

Cnpi. W. G. Agnew, known as one of the navy's out- standing gunnery officers, commanded the British flotilla which zippcnrcd on the scene as the two convoys-one of eight supply ships and the other of two-were making a rendezvous, presumably en route to Libya.
