(12Julye) (16Julyc) - ON THIS DATE laundry | By = | FRED WILLIAMS Twenty years ago today (July 3, 1920) Sir Robert Laird Borden re- signed the office of prime minister of Canada. He was a sadly fatigued ysically weak, who had been on ageinst doctor's orders, had 'reached the point e could continue no longer, where In anfiouncing his retirement to the Consepydtive caucus, Sir - Robert sald, part: "The prime minister of this Do- minion could not, cannot, and should not, abdicate his duties for such a period, his doctors had ordered com- plete rest for a year). On the con- trary, the situation requires com- plete possession of full health and vigor by the person who is called upon to fulfill the responsibilities of the premiership. "Perhaps 1 may venture to say that, even from considerations personal to myself, this sacrifice ought not to be demanded. I enter- ed public life in 1896 and four years oterwards 1 was selected as leader of the Liberal Conservative party waen it was at the nadir of its for- tunes, For more than 10 years I had the party in opposition, and for nearly nine years I have, been prime minister, During more than four years of the leiter périod our coun= try was involved in struggle, effort and sacrifice wholly unprecedented in our history. For nearly two years we have been facing the problems of reconstruction. The strain left upon ministers since August, 1814, is not to be measured by years, It hds left its effects upon every member of the administration, and notably n myself. May I add that, though the path of duty was not, ways to be discerned clearly, I ver consciously departed from it and I hope you will consider me as entitled to an honorable discharge." Then, on July 2, at noon, "the vernor-general received me and I ve him information as to the de- on." No successor was named that day; indeed, it was not until the 10th that Mr. Arthur 'Meighen "actually took over the office of prime minister and Sir Robert was yetired to his well earned rest, after | having taken part in the swearing in of his successor, ee m-- SHIPBUILDING SPEEDED Ottawa--Construction of Canada's 92 vessels for the Royal Canadian -~ Vl Navy is progressing with all possible d at 16 points across Canada. | heating is being installed in 'the ships, an innovation expected to ut down colds, influenza and among the crews. GAL ' be taken for those of Canadian fly- ing officers, Naval NiC.O's and officers could be little distinguished from Cana- dian and British naval officers ex- cept for the wings appearing over the left lapel. Ratings, however, were attired in dark-blue bell-bot- tomed trousers, blue jackets with white trimmings and a rounded, flat cap with two streamers hang- ing to the rear. The parachute troops were gen- erally termed a "mess." They wore thick black leather trousers -and jackéts, wool-lined. The outfit showed no insignia and even the wings were missing. man armed forces varied greatly and except for the odd German of- ficer, Canadian troops looked nig: bigger and tougher. . There nothing in their appearance 10 cause apprehension or misgivings and the great majority of privates and airmen were mere youths whose facial expressions neither Hitler nor their officers could have sup- pressed. hd . A Expressions, believe it or not, of thankfulness, and in some cAses ul. most, sheer joy. One of the British officers said this expression 'had peen rightly Interpreted and that many of them thanked God they were away from the German forces and mad orders of Adolf Hitler. The officer added that many of (he men had told him they received better food in the English prison camps than that which is fed Ger- man trodps even jn peacetime. He said laughingly that this was not to be interpreted that the military authorities were taking special pains with the prisoners' diet," hut that it did show conclusively that what food there is.in Germany is none too good. . J The merchant seamen were with= out uniforms, with the exception of several of the officers. They wore practically every conceivable type of clothing and some of the queer- est hats this reporter had seen since women's chapeaux drifted back to normal: Derbys, soft hats, caps, home-made, ship-made and prison=- made, of every type and descrip- tion. Some wore shorts. Others were nattily attired in plus-fours and business suits with all the fixings. Many wore rubberized oilers' sults and it was evident they had grab- bed the nearest thing handy when ordered to leave their ship before it was selged or torpedoed.

For weeks highly-mobile units of the First Division have been "in the field," the full power of its striking force geared to meet an enemy thrust wherever it' may be delivered. Where they have been or where they are going can be mentioned only -in the baldest terms lest vila! intelligence should reach the ; Today, however, the Canadiansre bivouacked in a peaceful garden spot, deployed ke a spectral army, ready to pounce quickly and ef- fectively should Hitler attempt' a blitzkrieg on these shores, The men, who have become ac- customed to frequent shifts der varying weather conditions, ave slept under summer skies and sub- sisted from time to time on iron rations, were temperarily enjoy- ing the comparative luxuries such a pause provides. Officers and men alike sought the nearest pond or stream for & welcome plunge or just a quick dip to remove accumulated dust and sweat when the units arrived at their camp. IY Fleld cookers appeared as if by magic and before long mess tins were filled with steaming hot food and tea. After the meal many had a short nap while steel-helmeted sentries kept watch. Above friendly aircraft droned incessantly, some on patrol, others on training flights with airmen'in the making. Hear Nazl Plahes Twice during recent days Cana- dian troops have' heard the moan of multiple-motored enemy planes. But npt a bomb "has fallen fa immediate zone of their ra- tions, nor have the Nazis come close enough to give them & work- out with their glins. Since trines of the so-called "linear "have been shelved, Canada's fighting machine has undergone a far-reaching readjust- ment. Details of these are of necessity cloaked-in secrecy but in their formulation Major- General A; G. L. McNaughton, di- visional commander, has played » feading role. He has moulded the force under his command into a compact, speedy and hard-hitting weapon with a great range action and tested endurance. IN this accom- plishment the G.. C. has paid high tribute to officers who have been tested to the fullest dur- ing the decent period on intshse activity. : Under the new conditionsy of warfare, the Canglilans are learn- ing as they go. gTomorrow they may be on the move again' but wherever they go.
