Angus 'Macdonald Represents © Kingston -- Nominate Agnes Macphail Ottawa, Aug. 13.--Hon. Angus L. Macdonald, Minister of National Defense for Naval Affairs, was elected by acclamation Monday to the House of Commons for King- ston, but contests developed in the other three Federal constituencies in which by-elections are to be held next Monday. There will be straight party fights in Waterloo North and Carle- ton County, both Ontario ridings, and a six-way fight is promised in Saskatoon. Nominations in the last- named riding closed a week ago yes- terday. In the other three ridings nominations closed yesterday. Mr. Macdonald, former Premier of Nova Scotia, was announced July 8 as Minister of the new Naval Af- fairs Department. He will now take his seat in Parliament for Kingston, which was rendered vacant by the accidental death, June 10, of Hon. Norman Rogers, Minister of Nation- al Defense. Mr. Rogers was re-elect ed st the general election on March 26 by 9,232 votes to 7,117 for his Conservative opponent. In Waterloo North the fight will be between candidates of the two old parties. L. O. Breithaupt is the Liberal choice and Dr. 8S. F. Lea- vine will carry the Conservative banner. The riding has returned Liberals twice as often ss Conserva- tives since Confederation. Carleton County, which has al- ways voted Conservative, was given an unexpected contest when at the last minute Nelson McCracken was nominated by the New Democracy group. He will oppose G. Russell Boucher, Conservative, who had been expected to receive an accla- mation. In Saskatoon six entries were re- ceived last Monday, including Miss 'Agnes Macphall, first woman mem- ber of the House of Commons, who sat in that Chamber for eighteen years and was defeated in Grey- Bruce in the Dominion elections Jast March. Miss Macphail is choice of the United Reform movement. Others nominated there are Sid W. lJohns, Independent Liberal; Mich- {mel P. Hayes, Liberal; Miss Wilne Moore, Independent; Alderman Al- fred E. Bence, Conservative, and Lieut.-Col. G. H. Bradbrooke, Inde- pendent. | Because of the great cost in- ved and the difficulty in obtain- ing the now widely scattered soldier vote, members of the Canadian "Active Service Force now serving outside Camada will not cast their ballots in these by-elections as they did . In the general election last March. Prime Minister Mackenzie King will not take an active part in any of the contests, but it is believed several of his Ministers will lend a hand to the Government candidates.

"'And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness, quietness and assur ance forever." (Isaiah 32:17) 600 NAZI PLANES HIT AT BRITAIN IN VAIN TODAY (Continued from Page 1) Last Thursday at least sixty-five were downed--the highest figure in fighting over Britain's shoreline to date in the war. The brief bulletin read, "It is now established that sixty- one enemy aircraft were destroyed in yesterday's air fighting round our coasts. "Thirteen of our fighters were lost, but the pilot of one of them is safe." Backed by Shell Fire There were indications that the attacks are now to be backed by shell fire from the Continent and aided by Italian airmen. Damage in one southcoast town was believed caused by shells from long-range guns on the French side of the Channel. The pattern of attack remained unvaried, as it has since extensive raids first began June 18, but the scope was tremendous. From northeast, northwest, south- eact, southwest--from every direc- tion -- came reports of exploding bombs. Reports of damage were confined to civilian structures as the Nazis novelty "scream" bombs hurtled down. Royal Alr Force fighters, anti-air- craft gunners and searchlight crews teamed up to beat back the invaders. The raids this morning and last night followed those of the waves of swastika-flaunting bombers which dropped tons of explosives Monday on the great naval bases at Portsmouth, Southampton and Dover. ' Seventy or more German planes continued to hammer against the Englist coastline between Dover and Portsmouth until late last night. Nine British planes were missing. At one southeast coast town, houses were damaged by explosions which at first were attributed to bombs, but later were believed to have been due to shellfire. Investi- gations were under way. There were rumors that Italy, Germany's ally, was participating in the raids on Britain. Authorita- tive circles in London disclosed that an Italian was among the crew of a German bomber captured Sunday, but discounted the likilihood of Italian planes being used. Anti-aircraft fire was seen to be playing an increasing role in the almost continual battle in the skies over the Channel and along Brit- ain's coastline. Unofficial Count Is 74 The Admiralty announced that naval guns brought down five Ger- man planes Sunday, raising the of- ficial total for that day to sixty-five and the unofficial count to seventy- four. The list of German raiders de- stroyed may go even higher for Monday, as the developing battle between the world's largest air forces was believed here to be a decisive phase of the war. The Air Ministry disclosed that while Britain's fighters are at work constantly in home skies, the R.AF. raiders have continued their night- ly missions over Germany and Ger- man-held territory. Last night British bombs blew up a synthetic oil plant at Dortmund "with a violent explosion" and set fire to a similar plant at Kastrop- Rauxel. The R.AF. also bombed plants at Gelsenkirchen and Wanneeickel, oil air- fromes at Dinard and Caen, and the seaplane slipway at 'Brest. Explosives were rained also on German occupants of" British x of Guernsey Hi Channel, "Death . : i; FOSTER--In Oshawf, pn Tuesday, loved wife of the late Clement Foster, in her 54th year.

Donations Total $5,000 One Week Free-will contributions to Can- ada's war effort during the past week amount to about five thou- sand dollars according to rigures made known by the Department of Finance. So far the greater part of this amount is made up of donations, small and large, from individuals motivated by a desire to help the war effort outside of contributions made through regular channels of taxation. Numerous donations come from the United States. An American sends in five dollars to help refu- | gee children with the comment: | "Trusting that the British Empire | will soon conquer Germany and | that the children will be able to return to their homeland." "Being Canadian born, though living in the U.S, I find it my duty | t0 make this contribution," says a| nurse. The Contribution: $100. An American citizen who enjoyed | a pleasure trip through the Cana- | dian West last year sends along | $100 as part of the money he would have spent had he been able to re- turn to Canada for a vacation this year. From Nova Scotia comes the wid- ow's mite in the words of the lady who sent along the donation. "As you know my salary is not large ...Iam a widow. I would like to give more, but really can't see my way clear to do it -- (the widow's mite)." SANG AT GANANOQUE Mr. W. B. Haynes spent the past month at Gananoque with relatives.

Rome, Aug. 12, -- The Italian Government will lodge a protest with the Greek Government for Daut Hoggia, the Albanian Irreden. tist whose murder was exposed yes- terday in a Stefani despatch from Itrana, responsible Italian circles state today. News of the incident, they added, has caused great irri- tation in Italy because "whoever strikes at Albania strikes at Italy." As a consequence the murder will have "repercussions," although Italian circles abstain from speci- fying their nature. "The incident in Greece," Italian circles said, "is a very unfortunate one The ferocity with which the murder was committed arouses a wave of indignation in Italy and Albania. It originates from g situa tion existing on the Greek and Al- banian' frontier which has been fully Wustrated by Stefani in a clear ahd precise manner." According to Hon. C. D. Howe, Minister of Munition and Supply, construction on 77 projects now ap- roved for construction in con- nection with the Joint Air Training an is $15,500,000.

It must be admitted that mining saved us from financial ruin during the past ten years and mining to- day is making vast contributions to Canada's great war effort, Mr. Law- son pointed out. There are today 150 gold producers with the possie bility of another 25 being added in the next twelve months. Mr. Law- son suggested that if Canada did not continue with mining some- thing else would have to take its place, But he predicted that there would be a vast mineral expansion in Canada in the next ten years which would possibly be of great assistance in stabilizing Canada in the post war years.
