- nemy Assault Here Since War of 1812 Naval warfare inside Canada, in the St. Lawrence River and gulf, will cease for the time being when winter puts an end to navigation in those waters but will bring no relaxation for the Royal Canadian Navy. For the first time since the war of 1812 enemy forces operated in- side Canadian territory this sum- mer, ~~ What they will' do next summér depends on the couyse, of the war and on the enemy's no- tions as to where his submarines ean work to the best advantage. Some 15 United Nations ships have 'been sunk in the St. Lawr- ° ence River and gull by enémy submarines and while the losses . are admittedly serious, naval authorities take some satisfaction in the fact that there has been no wholesale slaughter of merchant shipping, despite the great expanse of water requiring attention. The removal of the U-hoat front from the St. Lawrence to the open eca which will come when {ce makes shipping in the river im- posible probably early next month, may mean more intensified U-boat attacks on trans-Atlantic shipping: It will, however, relieve the Royay Canadian Navy and the Royal Canadian Air Force from the burden of patrolling the gulf and the river and of escorting convoys through them, Gulf 450 Miles 'Wide When the St. Lawrence season opens again next summer it fis likely more ships and more planes will .be available for anti-submarine work In that area than was the case this summer, Corvettes built in shipayrds during the winter will be in commission and avail able for distribution to the dif- ferent waters in which the Cana-- dian Navy operates, 'with probably a larger number available for the St. Lawrence than was the case during the season now drawing to a close. _ No matter what defences are available, however, authorities emphasize it is impossible to pro- vent U-boats from operating in waters as spacious as the St. Lawr- ence. The gulf is 450 miles wide and the river itself ranges from 100 miles in width at the mouth to 35 miles at the furthest known upriver penetration of the sub- marines. Enemy submarines move in and out at will through such narrow waters" as the Strait of Gibraltar © and it Is believed that despite in- tensive patrolling it will always be casy for the Germans to send -submarines into the St. Lawreffce. Canada Fulfills Bacon Contract Sends 600,000,000 Pounds of Bacon to Britain The Agriculture Department has marked the close of a tough as- signment of providing the United Kfgdom with 600,000,000 pounds _ --ol bacon p-year--and prepared lo "start meeting a new contract to supply 675,000,000 pounds. "Virtually all of, the 600,000,000 pounds of bacon called for under the terms of the 1941-42 agreement with the United Kingdom have been secured; the departmental statement sald. "This means that the week com- mencing Monday, November 16th, marks the beginning of the new 1942-43 contract for 675,000,000 pounds." On October 5th, following an. nounceement of the terms of the new agreement, the Canadian Ba- con Board increascd the price of export bacon at Canadian seaboard to the 1942-43 contract level. "Thus farmers in Canada have already received the benefit of the new higher prices of approximately 76,000,000 pounds of bacon pur- chased since October Gth to com- Dpleto fhe old contract and by the conclusion of the purchases under the new contract have benefited from higher prices paid on a. total of 750,000,000 JOURds" ar bacon," the department sald, " What Pierre Laval Thinks of British Pierre Laval, defacto ruler of France, is ordering Frenchmen, 160,000 of them, to go to work in Germany -- "out. of apprehension lest measures of constraint be ap- plied to France," he says. This is Laval, the erstwhile champion of resistance to foreign domination, says the Ottawa Jour- nal. ; In October, 1940, Roy Porter, Associated "Press correspondent in Paris, reported that Pierre Laval said to him: : "I hope to God the Germans amash hell out of the British until they leave only a grease spot. Then, perhaps, France can take her proper place in European af- fairs without British domination," Certainly under Laval, France is taking a queer place of a sort in "European affairs" 8 . . hg RUA RR Ee 1 -and left the office.

O'BRIEN TRAGIC NEWS CHAPTER XIII The three days after Carole Fiske's escape to St. John's were the Jongest Clyde Dawson had ever known, The Eastern Air Command had told him that a blizzard was rolling in over north- eastern Newfoundland and it was already "ceiling zero" at the air- port where he must land. The last boat for three days had sailed that morning from North Sydney for Port-aux-Basques, to connect with the Newfoundland Railway. Shortly after 3.30 in the morn- ing of the fourth day, the tele- phone awakened Dawson, An Eastern Air Command officer in- formed him crisply that the weather was clearing and a plane would be ready to take off at dawn. oo. By noon Dawson was inter- viewing the veteran captain .in command of the St. John's port. The officer's face was grim, "The Fort Glengarry was tor- pedoed off Cape Race, Newfound- land, two nights ago!" Dawson - grasped the arms of his chair, his- knuckles showing white. "Are there any survivors re- ported?" . His voice sounded strange to his own ears. "Yes, but not many. There was only one woman, in fact--a ma- jor's wife .en route to join her husband here." A numbing sensation of tragedy enveloped Dawson as he rose, with & mumbled word of thanks, Life has a strange way of interweaving hu. man hearts, - he thought, as he made his way along the street. If only he had revealed .his- search for Darwin Lemoy and her brother, It was useless for Daw- son to argue that Carole's actions had left him no other choice than to regard her as an enemy agent. Somehow he should have gleaned some inkling of the facts before Paul Dexel, in his confession, had disclosed that Bernard Skrol -- really Berhard Fiske---was Car- ole's brother and the Dexels were her half-brothers. * * LJ The mother was German and had married twice. Her first husband, father of the Dexels, had died shortly after coming to the United States from Germany. Her second husband, Fiske, was of German-American stock, The two Dexel boys and Ber- nard Fiske had become enthusias- tic Bund members 'in Chicago. With the outbreak of the war abroad, the girl repeatedly pro- tested to them about their con- tinuing Bund activities.

But a still better reason was Darwin Lemoy. She had met Darwin while he was still a college student in Chi- cago. There were Advanced Thinker groups formed in college circles as a part of Nazi strategy and Darwin had been enticed into attending the one organized by the Dexels. Darwin and Carole Fiske grew friendly. In- those careless days of peace his Bund-inspired, pro- Nazi views didn't affect their re- lationship. When Darwin went abroad to play hockey for the Czechoslovakian team in 1935, letters to influential persons had resulted in an invitation for him to enjoy a carefully directed tour of Germany at the expense of the Reich. He returned to the United States a profound admirer of the Hitler regime. However, the invasion of Po- land and the temporary liaison of Germany and Russia had a shattering effect on Darwin's be- liefs, This became more notice- able as America drifted steadily toward the brink of war. His change of heart became known to the Dexels and many stormy scenes developed when Darwin asserted their first duty was to America. : * * Ld As the lend-lease program set bombers flowing in increasing number to Britain, a secret Nazi- controlled system was devised to secure all possible data on planes and 'weather through a chain of reporting posts. Darwin was in on the preliminary planning, but later rebelled, Carole Fiske had appealed to Darwin to save her brother from being drawn deepor into the spy ring. The Dexels knew this, Paul revealed, and shadowed her to an airport where she was seen bidding fareweli to Darwin. They then lost track of him until a coded cable from Pvt. Bernard Fiske, alias Skro), told Darwin was in St. John's and had already been talking to him along lines definitely opposed to their "work." Paul Dexel had rushed to St. John's. and arrived the day after the murders, Darwin. had found Fiske was cultivating the friend- ship of a Ferry Command official in an important post. When ap- proached by Darwin, Fiske boldly admitted he was after some tech- nical data that the official had. Furthermore he told Darwin to keep out of the "scheme" unless he wanted to get invgved more than he already was. Fiske told all this to Paul Dekel | upon the latter's arrival. That night Dexel trailed the Ferry Command official and Fiske to the speakeasy and was amazed to. see Darwin Lemoy slip in after the pair. Obviously Lemoy was sha- dowing them without seeing Dexel on the same mission, In his confession Dexel stated that Darwin could not have been more than halfway up the stairs when a shot sounded from a sec- ond floor room." A moment later he saw two figures -- whom he identified as Darwin and Fiske-- struggling against the drawn shade. Another shot was heard and the shorter man, Fiske, dropped, ' ' The rest Dawson knew already. Darwin had run from the speak- easy into the arms of a constable, On him was found the gun that had killed the two, and the offi- In face of other disclosures it was evident to Daw- son that Darwin had intended re- turning the plans to the Ferry Command, and that he pocketed the gun which Dexel had given - Fiske to clear Carol's brother of a murder-suicide stigma, In view of all this there was only one course for Darwin Lemoy to follow on being .captured --= | © season's crop of jumper styles-- coins (stamps cannot be accepted) absolute silence, Otherwise the whole story would come out, in« cluding his own association with _ the ring. - And Carole would be involved. Back in Chicago, consternation had followed the discovery that the highly secret filing cabinet had been tampered with. A fin- gerprint was found, and it was decided to investigate the spy ring personnel thoroughly to find its owner. ? Dexel was ordered to secure a set of Lemaoy's prints, but his only opportunity came after the hanging, when' the body went to the vault, He had to work fast, and he found it impossible to un- bend the fingers and work in the cramped, ghostly quarters. So he hacked off the hand. But, as Daw- son had deduced, Dexel had been forced to hurry off when the in- vestigator left St, John's sudden- ly. Dawson was of major interest to the spy ring after. the hours he'd spent in the death cell, Dexel's one faux pas was avhen he threw the hand into Darwin's cabin aboawd the Caribou -- a blunder inspired by the Nazi prin- ciple of terrorizing the enemy, Back in Chicago, John Dexel hadn't dared tell Carole Fiske about her brother and Darwin Lemoy. If she had known that. Bernard was dead and Darwin was in prison awaiting execution, she might have confessed everything in the hope of getting Darwin off with a jail sentence. So, to ex- plain Darwin's silence, John had faked a story that Darwin had. killed Paul Dexel in an argument over the spy ring and was hiding from the Newfoundland police. There it was, a superb case, thoroughly ironed out, Dawson had started with a snapshot of a girl and a piece of beefsteak on a hanged man's heel, and un- covered a major spy ring. But there was no thrill of satisfaction now. (Concluded. Next Week) Christmas Cheer On Way To Fleet Here's a special communique (to be delivered with appropriate fanfare) for Canadian naval offi- cers and ratings who patrol Can- ada's eastern seaboard: "The Christmas plum pudding, cake and all the trimmin's, are on their way." A trainload of Christmas cheer (the solid kind) went out from Montreal last week aboard the Canadiatr National Railways' Mari. time Express, carrying 1,350 pounds of Christmas cake and 29 cartons of plum puddings, be- decked with Yuletide decofation. The Christmas fare was ordered by the munitions department and consigned to the naval supply officer, "somewhere" in Eastern waters.

Through all these years the So-* ciety has moved with the times and has built "up a .world-wide chain of service, by which (to use the words of His Majesty the King when Duke of York) "it touches the Sailor at every point of his life. It trasns him, houses him, gives him recreation, tends him in his old age and helps his depend- ents. In short, it.labours cecase- lessly and devotedly for all that magnificent body of men upon whom the prosperity of the Bri. tish Empire so. largely. depends." Hostels round the coasts of the British Isles and away in-the ports of 'the seven seas have been es- tablished--over 100 hostels, sta- tlons and agencles through which the sailor is served In the manner described by His Majesty. No matter whether a sailor goes to Haifa, Bristol, London, Vie- torlo, B.C. Bilbao or Milford Hav- en (to take a few examples) he will receive a warm welcome from the Port Missionary and will tind A comfortable bed, good food, re- ~ creation and friends, So happy are the conditions in. the hostels that there are many examples of men who have gone round the world keeping constantly * within the broad limits of the Society by. - making use of its hostels.
