New Half Fare For The Services All personnel of /the Canadian army, including Nursing Sisters, proceeding on leave or furlough will- be gllowed to purchase return tickets at the one-way fate, it was announced at Military Headquart- ers recently. The new rate will be applicable to men travelling in uniform, or in mufti, but in the later case the soldier must produce a certi- _ficate signed by his commanding officer. The regulations state that the fare will be a single fare for the round trip in the cage of first- class, intermediate (where this is in effect), coach class or special coach class travelling soldiers, with a' minimum fare of 25 cents. . First-class tickets will be valid for passage in coaches, also in sleep- ing cars or parlor cars on. pay- ment of the proper extra charge for such "accommodation. Coventry Clock Striking Again The Coventyg, Cathedral clock - is once again striking the hours over the scarred city after a silence of several months, It has just been repaired by Mr, J, W, Eliot, the custos. It is over 300 years old, moody, rather worn, and very susceptible to weather conditions. Every winter the oil in the mechanism becomes thick- ened or frozen and the clock ceases to function. A separate electrical mechanism in the past has chimed the half-hours and the quarters: the cathedral clock it- self strikes only the hours As the electric current has been cut off. the hours alone will sound. - The chimes have a dulcet tone, and fall tranquilly upon the ears of visitors standing in the shade of the lime trees, peering at the roofless walls 'of what was once the glory of Coventry.

Britain lacked tanks 'and artillsry for an attempted invasion of the contin: ent. He said the Government, de- spite amateur 'strategists, soap box orators, and campaigns in the press, had no intention of jpviting another Dunkirk, . > * Would Suit Hitler "I' cannot imagine anything which would. suit Hitler's move better thali if we adopted the Chin. ese method of committing suicide on your enemy's doorstep," 'he sald. } He made the Government's posl- tion clear after demands for an in- vasion had been made by Lord Strabolgl, who "deplored" that when tlie greatest opportunity of all time had presented itself Brit. ain was unable to strike in the west because of lack of equipment, Strabolgl claimed: that Germany had only 25 second-rate divisions in all of Western Europe, and that they had less than 100 tanks to support them. But Moyne persisted in the Goverhment's refusal to aid Russia by invading the continent in a manoeuvre designed to draw German troops out of Russia. Not Enough Equipment Moyne implied that equipment, - especially tanks, now in British , hands was not sufficlent to make "the opening of a fronf in the west ' possible. He sald that a -Western Front operation would severely strain British shipping and would denude Britain of an army needed to repel possible German Invasion, "It would he madness for us to improvise an expedition of that kind", Moyne sald. "You cannot land a well equipped army with- out a vast amount of shipping. It would be folly to denude this coun- try of an army we, will need in case of invasion. . "You cannot land a force with merely rifles and bayonets to face "all the artillery and tanks available AN in France." LO.D.E. Helps British Victims Hundreds of New Garments and Blankets Sent to Britain During the months of June, July and. Aiigust alone, "approximately thirty-seven tons of new clothing and new bedding, valued at $92, 107.33," were shipped to Great Bri. taln by the Imperial Order Daugh- ters of the Empire, according to Mrs. W. R.- Walton, Jr. vice-con- venor of the National War Service Committee of the I.O:D.E. Hundreds of new garments and blankets included in the above were . collected through Imperial OIll ser- vice stations across Canada in car- tons placed there by the LO.D.E. The added co-operation of the Provincial Automotive Transport Associations, whose trucking com. panies gave thelr services gratis, in delivering these cartons to the various . ProvinciaP LOD.E. head- quarters, aided materially the I1.LO.D.E. effort which has provided great quantities of new clothing for -British bombed victims-as- well as tons of selected reading material for Canada's fighting forces. In Ontario alone full cartons were picked up from Imperial Oll service stations in 82 towns and cities and hauled by members of the Automotive Transport Associa- tion of Ontario to the I.O.D.E, head- quarters at Hamilton and Toronto, Mrs. Walton states that the need for new clothing and -bedding for the British bombed victims and for books for the troops is urgent and that donors may still .leaye thejr contributions at Imperial Oll ser. vice stations, in towns and cities throughout Canada where there are 1.O.D.E.

Through the Department of National War Services a call will be sent out for 400 firem and this number will be progres- , sively increased.
