Magistrates » 'A new regulation whereby the y requirements of the nation be met without impairing the' istration of justice is cons d in a memorandum sent to ' tes and crown attors today, a copy of which has | released to The Times. In t the new. regulation prevents a soldier from escaping' military duty: by spending a term in jail. The memorandum sent out from the department of the Attorney- General today suggesis that all magistrates and justices of the peace notify military authorities in the area where a soldier may come up for trial. The memorandum points out that where a soldier is charged with an offence in respect to which he is to be tried before the magistrate or justice of the peace, an officer may be detailed to attend the trial and he is empowered to pay, on behalf of the accused, any fine im- pored by the court. The fine is to paid provided it can be recover- ed from the soldier's pay account within a period of six months. The purpose of the new regulation is to sprevent a soldier escaping the per= Ching-Wei not a ted in any US. SRiand that«it will not effect Japan's desire to adjust her rela- tions with the USSR. "On its part the Soviet govern- policy of the Soviet Union with re- gard to China remains without change." The Japanese statement referred to by Smetanin, Tass said, was delivered to the Russian ambassador last Sunday by Japanese vice min- ister of foreign affairs Chuichi Ohashi. Ohashi explained, the news agency added, that "article three in this agreement concerning the struggle against communism was not directed in any way against the U.SSR. and that said article follows from purely internal condi- tions." t AIRMEN, SEAMEN, TARS, CIVILIANS AT CANADIAN PORT (Continued from Page 1) looking for" when they get into ac- tive service. Many of the merchant seamen, here en route to many North Am- erican ports to take over vessels that will keep Britain's sea trade operating, were survivors of torpe- doings. One skipper said he was one of a group of 22 men, left adrift at sea when their vessel sunk, who were picked up and flown to land in a huge Sunderland flying boat, Another officer--a former insur- formance of some military duty which he could do by refusing to pay the fine, and serve the term of imprisonment which may be award- ed in default of payment.

A church and a police station also were reported hit. "In London bombs struck an un- occupied school and a school for incurable children was destroyed. Raiders lashed at a town in the Eastern Midlands for four hours but damage was reported to have been Igiht. There was | | heavy anti-aircraft fire all through the Midlands and in the London area. Bristol, hard-hit by 300 hammer- ing German bombers Monday night, announced that with the help of emergency workers it had restored its transportation system almost to normal. - A Canadian Press correspondent reported smoke pouring from hun- dreds of factories still operating in the western port and manufactur- ing city. He added that ships ap- peared to be loading and unloading at the wharves without difficulty. "Shopping districts and slum areas were hardest hit and the city's chief problem was said to be that of getting workmen to the fac- | tories and restoring telephone, electricity and similar services. SOVIET ATTITUDE 10 GHINA SAME, JAPAN INFORMED Peace Treaty With Nanking Regime Hasn't Changed Situation Moscow, Dec. 5. (CP) -- Tass, official Russian News Agency, re- ported today the Russian Govern- 'ment had informed Tokyo that its "policy with regard to China" re- mains unchanged by Japanese re- eognition cof the Chinese regime at Nanking headed by Wang Ching- Wei. Tass said Russtan ambassador Smetanin had called at the Japa- nese foreign office yesterday and delivered the following statement on behalf of his government:-- "The Soviet government notes the statement of the Japanese gov- érnment to the effect that an ar- ticle of agreement has been con- cluded between Japan and Wang | ance salesman---said he was on one of 10 vessels sunk by convoy by a | mass submarine attack off Ireland, | | Sept. 21.

More than 500 Fascist troops were said to have surrendered. Premet is about 15 miles inside the Albanian frontier. Porto Edda, | m-in Italian debarkation point in Southern Albania, is about 30 miles to the southwest. Argirocastro, an- other important Italian base, is about midway between the two towns. The Greeks indicated that an an- nouncement that their troops had entered Porto Edda and Argirocas- tro might be expected at any time. The Italians also were reported to be retreating on the northern flank of the 100-mile battlefront where the Greeks said their forces cap-'| tured important mountain positions northwest of Pogradetz in a drive toward Elbasan and the Albanian capital, Tirana. The exact point reached by the spearheard of the Greek advance in this sector was not disclosed. Here, too, the Greek high com- mand, said the Italins suffered heavy losses in men and equipment, Capture of Premet was accomp- | lished, the Greeks said, after they had driven the Italians from strong positions in the Frasheri mountain range, north of the town, from | which they were able to dominate | strategic passes. = | A heavy artillery bombardment | | prepared the way for the Greek at- | | tack. a | The high command said the Ital- | | ians had resisted stubbornly and | had launched a counter attack with | tanks on both flanks of & "Greek | force driving up the highway to- | ward Premet. Fa | This assault was repulsed, how- | ever, a spokesman, sgid, and the | battle "ended in'am Italian rout". "Generally," the spokesman said, | "the enemy is retreating from the | places where he tried stubbornly to defend himself." From Porto Edda the Italians were reported retiring along the Adriatic seacoast toward Chimara, some 25 miles to the northwest. The Fascist forces at Argirocastro were said to be withdrawing in a north- westerly direction toward Tepelini. Italian reports that Greek attacks had heen beaten off all along the front were characterized by an army spokesman as "simply. fig- ments of the imagination for home consurfiption." Efforts of the Italian high com- | mand to reorganize its forces in Al- | bania have failéd, this source de- | clared, and predicted that "the pos { ition of the Italian army, will be- | | come more and more difficult."
