Pride 0f Nazi Fleet llard llit

IJONDON, Oct. British midget submarines. penet- rating the heavily guarded Nor- wegian hideout of the German fleet. have nipples the mighty Ni- Tlrpita and left her appar-

ently immobilized. Three of the small subs. a hith-

erto undlsclosel British weapvll. are missing. group of submer- sibles, 1000 miles from home,

threaded their way some 50 miles into narrow Allen Fjord, through mine fields and heavy patrols, to attack the ‘Ilrpltz Sept. 22, an Ad- miralty anncuncanent disclosed today. ‘Illey attacked the Tirpltz beneath her waterline. The size of the raiding force was not disclosed but the announce- ment said three submarines had failed to return and there was a Bossibility some of their crews had een captured by the Germans

The Admiralty said it was impossible to assay fire dam- age at the time of the attack, but reconnaissance photo- graphs taken three weeks later showed the 35.000 ton pride of the Nazi fleet had not mov- ed from her anchorage and oil spouting from her great tanks had spread for two miles.

Usually conservative to the ex- treme, the Admlraltyb description of the eroplolt used such terms as “hazards of the first order”, “mag- nitude of the difficulties" and said the crews "displayed the highest gkuiallitlies of courage, enterprise and,

Details on the sire and comple- ment of the little craft were not aamcoiniuizl. Jane's authoritative "fighting ships" shows British Class "H" tralnin submarines of 410 to 500 tons wi h a complement of 22. but presumably the midgets nre much smaller.

1.000 Miles From Base

The 1.1a ement streascd that to reach the hiding place of the Nazi warships the submarines were forced to operate more than 1,000 miles from the nearest Britidr base.

A day after the attack. the Ger- mans announced cfflclally that a thrust by midget submarines had been repulsed and prisoners had been taken.

The 15 inch guns of the Tlrpltz had been a menace to Allied North Atlantic shipping since February of 1942 and for the lost several months she had been closely guar- ded in the snug fjord sc-rne 200 miles north of the Arctic circle.

Midget submarines have app- eared in the news several times prevlousiv during this war, first in July, 194i. when the, Italians used two man "Clrasshopters" .in an at- tack on Malta. Similar submer- sibles figured in the attacks on Al- zicrs Harbour in January, 1043, and Japanese midget: took part in the,

report that other powerful battle uplts were anchored near the Tir-

tz. but clawed damage only to that bntilehln.

Battle Depth charges In Gale

Sub. Lt. Jack Misick of the Royal Canadian Naval Volunteer Reserve and four ratings wrestled for 2 1-2 hours to pin down "l1vc" depth charges which broke loose and were crashin about the deck of the corvette elandlne, it was dis- closed today.

Misick, 21.year-old native of Ber- muda. volunteered with the seamen to secure the charges. although they knew these. weighing nearly a quarter ton each. could break the legs like uiatchsticks.

The commanding officer turned the ship to the wind to make the task easier but tho well deck was

With Allied air lorces on both northwest Africa and the Middle East scorching the Germans in Greece; Crete and the Dodecanese islands, and Greek and Yugoslav partriots battling them on land, the Balkan fighting today is more ex- tensive than at any llllle Sllllle the British evacuated their exnrdltlon- nry force in the spring of 194i.

At least a dozen German divi- sions are engaged in an effort to hold fast in the dark and b10001’ mountains.

0.0!. Leader Makes Appeal 0n Behalf 0f Victory Loan

OTTAWA, Qt. '1 — (CP)-M. J. Ooldwell, C. C. F. leader, said to- night that differencss of opinion regarding methods employed by the government in conducting the war and in organizing Canada's economic and financial effort "pro- vide no excuse for any of us in not doing all we can to make the new (victory loan) appeal even more successful than similar appeals in the Past."

In an address prepared for del- ivery over thc national network of the Canadian Broadcasting Cor- poration in support of the fifth victory loan, Mr. Caldwell said that as a Nation Oanadn has suffered little from the effects of the war and her citizens have much f

which they can be "trulv thankful". “Personally, as a critic, and sometimes a severe critic, of the

policies of the government, I nev- crtheless urge you to make your personal contribution to the new loan the largest you can under- take by way of cash and deferred payments.”

"Apart altogether from the fact that there is no safer or more use- ful place to put your savings, it is important that any surplus doll- ars shall not be in a. position to demand goods which we could do without until a later date or until the war ends."

Should Be Over - Subscribed

‘me iftlrvicloryloan. which 1B» wlthfmfrrtmum x jective of SLZOODOODOO should be over subscribed by those who re- main at home as an expresion of the detcvvlnstion of Canadians "to carry the world wide struggle to a successful conclusion."

Canada, is regarded today as the third nation among the democrat- ic powers, and holds a position which brings with it great res- ponslbilities.

Canada then must not fall short in this new effort." M1‘. Coldwell said."

"We are a part of that associat- ion of free self governing nations which we call the British Common- wealth. Let us make that assoc- latlon a. real factor for the peace and prosperity of all mankind. . Thus at last, as equal partners in a great world cause, we may co-cp- erats with all men of good will ev- erywhere for mutual welfare and universal peace."

The war is not won. The Allies have only begun to "drive the Nazi-Fascist aggressor out of small areas of southern Europe." It would be "calamitoirs" to diminish the nation's industrial efforts now. as Prime Minister Churchill and Pre- s’dent Roosevelt have already warned.

llo Pullman For Island Service

Ii, is impossible to restore the sleeping car to the Charlottetown. Moncton run, Mr. J.F. Pringle, vice- president and general manager of the Atlantic Region of the Cana- dian National Railways said in a letter received here last night, He said the decision was reached after he had referred the matter to Mon- treal officials of the C.N.R. who had usaed the matter with thc transport controller, The letter was Mr. B. Graham Rogers of the Travel Bureau.

1t will be recalled that late last spring the sleeping car was taken off this run but at that time it was confidently expected it would be restored at the end of Septem- ber. There has been a very insist- ent demand by thc travelling pub- llc for the restoration of this sleeping car and a great deal of inconvenience and hardship has been caused to persons travelling with children and in cases of sick- ness. Against this, however. there is the possibility that freight traf. fic may become much heavier later on this fall although so far the car-
