It was ed lien that the Italians, who have been reported abandoning the towns, had fired all stores and materials they were unable to cart away. Firing of the two cities. Greeks said, was designed to avert their troops from adding to an estimat- ed $8,900,000 worth of war mater- ials already seized from retreating Italians. More than 500 machine guns were said to be among the prizes. A general headquarters communi- que reported general progress over the entire Albanian front, "especial- ly in the central and southern sec- tors despite strong reaction from enemy aviation."

Walling Reuters Staff Correspondent LONDON, Dec. 5 —(CP -Rcuters) —0utwarcily a scene of rural peace, East Anglia is one of the most powerful sections of Britain's air of- fensive and is growing in power weekly. Behind road barriers, which more obviously than anything else, mark airdromes that fit so deeply into this flat region, I have gathered evidence to support these conclus- ions:— 1. Bdfore the weather put down both R.A.F. and German numbers, Britain on some October nights sent almost as many bombers over Ger- many as Germany sent on the aver- age over Britain in September. 2. By next spring- and possibly on fine nights before then- there should be in service types of air- craft whose bomb loads will be far heavier, perhaps thee or four times, tha those now iii use. ith more aircraft of all types flowing in from British and Ameri- can factories this lust point shows that the promise of the Prime Min- iister that the bombing of Germany ‘will reached hitherto undreamed of force, is within sight of fulfilment. So many planes have been over Berlin on at- lcast one occasion that pilots were instructed to keep to a Ileft-hand turn round the German capital to avoid collision. Twenty and 30 different targets widely separate and each attracting a score or more planes. were not un- ccmmon for the R.A.F. on autumn nights. A squadron leader who had made 1S bombing flights over enemy ter- ritory told me he has flown over a. "procession" of fires to Berlin from the Dutch coast. each being: "worried" by its quota of planes, both on the way over and on the way back. ‘Ganucks are Prepared for Gas attacks SOMEWHERE IN ENGLAND.

Two regiments from western Que- bec and one from the prairie pro- vinces were slogglng alon narrow roads when the planes ived on sections of the columns, spraying them with a harmless liquid which looked like mustard gas. The Canucks donned gas capes ,hastily, along with gas goggles, and took certain other precautions they ‘have been taught to adopt in such emergencies. For more than an liour the Can- ,adiim airmen in their army co-op- Ieration Lysarider planes harried their army confreres, flying as low ‘as S0 feet above the ound and dumping streams of quid that sprayed out in o. misty trail down the roads. Though most. of the troops were not warned of the at- tack they knew what to do and of- ,ficers estimated there would have been few casualties if it had been [an actual raid. The brigade moved off at dawn 'to take up a. position along the highway 15 miles away. The troops marched the entire distance and swung into their defence lines ap- pearing aboutu fresh as when they started. The only thing they wanted ,was food and the field kitchens ‘served up hot stew. bread and tea. l Anti-aircraft crews stow‘ by their guns throughout the brigade area ‘as the men ate.

This book was given her by a minister a few years ago and she treasured it very highly.

Annotated Press Staff Writer WASHINGTON. Dec. 5——(AP)-— officials appeared tonight to be [giving little consideration to the ,idea of conveying British mer- 1a! chant ships across the Atlantic or lallowing United states vessels to take supplies to Great Britain. Despite concern over recent Bri- ltisli shipping losses and a desire to extend further measures of aa- sistance, it was indicated that the administratoin is reluctant at this time to take such steps as these. ' Grovwinl discussion of these a- sibilltiea in unofficial quar rl however, raised the prospect that the , might take shape later as im- por t issues in Congress or the administration. United states ships are now barred from entering the war zone by the Neutrallt Act, which was designed to avoi I. situation such as that which played an impor- tzint part in American entry into the _I1'irst Great War. , Early in 1917. Germany launch- ed her unrestricted submarine campaign which lad to repeated diplomatic protests from the Uni- ted states and finally to the sev- erance of diplomatic iclations President Wilson, in asking for a declaration of war. gave the sub- marine campaign as the primary reason. Then. as now British shipping losses were reaching their war- time peak.
