The armistice is dependent upon whether the Nazi Government serves noti'je on more British correspond- ents to leave Germany. So far the only Br!ton asked to leave Germany has been Norman Ebnutt, chief of the London Time.s' Berlin bureau, whose order of expulsion followed re- fusal of Britain to extend the labor permits of threa German correspond- ents. While the journalistic armistice continues, however, the Evening Standard reported it understood that further action would be taken in connection with alleged political ac- tivities of certain Germans residing in England- It said the Home Of- fice possessed "remarkable inform- ation that many Germans living in England are enrolled as secret pol- ice charged with the duty of follow- ing fello'.v Gormans." Textile Mills Quiet PETERBOROUGH, Ont. â€" Two hundred non-strikers were ushered into the two plants of the Dominion Woollens and Worsteds, Limited, this week without trouble, although they were jeered by pickets. Lindbergh Continues Scientific Work CALAIS, Fiance,â€" Colonel Chas. A. Lindbergh, in a surprise flight from England came to B'rance again for his third visit in five weeks to Dr. Ale.xis Carrel, his collaborator in the invention of the "artificial heart." The flier maintained his usual silence, but villagers said the pair were working on another "very im- portant" invention, kept closely se- cret, at St. Gildas Island, Dr. Carrel's home. Syrian Uprising DEIR-EL-ZOR, Syriaâ€" French ar- my bombers and troops went into action this week against an open re- bellion in Eastern Syria. Army airplanes bombed three vil- lages where the rebels had set up headquarters. The general staff at Bierut sent motorized infantry to re-establish order in the territory. The rebels pillaged the village of Amouda and fired upon two army offcers who tried to intervene. The news was slow in getting out because the communication lines in Eastern Syria are primitive; also, the French authorities kept the in- cident tiuiet. Valencia Bombed MADIUD.â€" Rebel bombers and pursuit planes radcii Valencia this week bombing the loyalist seat of Governiiicnt and its suburbs, reports reaching here said. I*: was estimated that a score of persons were killed or wounded dur- ing the; raid. More Dead in "Purge" MOSCOWâ€" The execution of 72 alleged Far Eastern railroad wreck- ers accused of conniving with the Japanese secret service was report- ed this week.

Now the total of known execut- ions in this Far Eastern campaign to root out spies and wrecl;ers is 320. Recall Early Days of Telephone r>R.\.\TI'ORn â€" Six pioneers in oral communication, associated v,-ith Alexander Graham Bell in this dis- trict in 1S76 when he made improve- ments on the newly-invented tele- phone, visited the distr'ct this week and recalled experiments of half a century ago. The visit was part of Brantford's old home week celebra- tion. The men met at the Bell Jlemorial and toured scenes of the first tele- phone busines.^- office m Canada, the Bell homestead where Bell con- ducted his experiments and the site of the world's first telephone fac- tory, then the workshop of J. H. and ''"homa.s Cowherd. Two of Quadruplets Die THETFOUn. l.n.niaiul â€" After 24 hours of celebration over the birth here of male quadruplets to Mrs. Ol- iver Lingwood of nearby Brandon, two of the infants died. Hundreds of visitors poured into Thetford to gather before the nurs- ing home whore the children were born. The father, a Brandon fuirier and pride of the local rugby team, opened telegrams congratulating the Lingwoods on the birth .of the quadruplets â€" named Adrien, Ber- nard, Conrad and David. The Thetford town crier mounted the steps of the town square to read the following proclamation: "Oyez! Oyez! Oyez! Whercti.; In this ancient and honorable town, one-time Saxon capital, the good - _ wit of Oliver Lingwood of Irandon has been happily delivered of four goodly children. I, John CTark, town crier, call upon this town to rejoice at these fourfold blessings. God Save the King!" But a few hours later two of the tots died, Davia and Adrien. The mother was reported recovering. Mrs. Lingwood is a daughter of Charles Carter, home stewarii of Dorothy Paget, famous woman horse-traine' and daughter of Lord Queensborjugh. Mrs. Lingwood is 26, her husband 35. One of the two living children was reported lively but the other not quite so well- Zionists Split on Palestine Cut ZURICH, Switzerland â€" A minor- icy resQlution expressing firm oppos- ition to Great Britain's plan to par- tition Palestine was introduced at a special session of the World Zion- ist Congress. The congress earlier split into two factions over the partitioning scheme and it was only after hours of negotiation that opposition dele- gates were induced to meet with the others. A majority resolution was being drawn up to embody the opinions of Chain Weizman, Zionist Presi- dent and many others that the British plan should be considered as a basis for negotiations with a view to achieving a larger Jewish State in Palestine than that contemplated in the Royal Commision's report. Paralysis News Censored TORONTO â€" Censorship was this week clamped down on further in- fantile paralysis figures by Dr. Gor- don Jackson, medical health officer.

SPORT TODAY By KEN EDWARDS i/ Well here we are again after pulling in the big ones up north . . .... but that's a long story- The swimmer, Martha Norelius Wright, w h o with the $10,000 prize money at the C. N. E. pro. swim is attempt- ing a comeback â-  - . . Wo mav see her soon. Did you k-.ow that Bill Dineen is completing his 2Sth year as a major league umpire? James J. Braddock who was Tor- onto's guest a few days ago says he wants to fight with either Baer or Schmeling in the early fall. The big likeable Braddock, ex-stevedore, and ex-world champ tells the whole world that ho remembers when he v.as a poor kid with nothing to look forward to in life. Probably this straight and natural frankness en- dears him to our hearts more than anything. He tolls us, too, that his father who is now liv'ng was once a piano mover. Tommy Farr, British and French and Belgian heavyweight champion says that when Louis lets go his dy- namite left he will sink his right into his middle. Farr is only twenty- one and some believe him to be Louis' worst menace. L'ntil next week â€" so 'ong. Playwright's Speech At Opening Censored LONDON. â€" Laurence Housman, Great Britain's most censored drama- tist, has had a speech censored. Thirty-two of Housmr.n's plays are under the censor's ban. His play "Victoria Kegina," which had been banned for years becau.<!e it portrays Queen Victoria on the stajrc, has at last been allowed to bo played in London. After the first and wildly success- ful night, Housman was called to the stage and he had prepared tiiis speech : "Your Royal Highnesses, my Lord, Ladies and Gentlemen: At the 'gra- cious and unusual con:n'-on sense o/ his late Majesty.

E. C. Mills, chairman of jVscap's administrative committee, said it was regrettable that "such a distinguish- ed artist should have so narrow a mind and so intemperate a tongue," and added: "American composers would be well within their reasonable rights in henceforth forbidding him under any circumstances or at any time to ren-- der any of their copyrighted compo- sitions, and it may be that they will do this unless he retracts his remarks and apologizes for them." Nineteen Lose Lives In Tenement Collapse NEW Y'ORK. â€" Weary searchers and official investigators are focus- sing their attention on the debris of the Staten Island tenement building in which at least nineteen persons lost their lives this week.

NEWS PARADE Commentary on the HIGHLIGHTS OF THE WEEKS NEWS - tiy Peter Kaudal Reindeer Trek Ends The ia:iious reiiuleer drive across the northern tundras from Alaska to the Mackenzie Delta is now nearing an end. Andy Bahr and his gallant band of herders expect to complete the 2,000-mile journey this fall and hand over to the Eskimos in the delta region a permanent meat supply. In one of the four years since the trek got under way the herd advanced only 90 miles, since in winter progress was delayed by wolves, blizzards and treacherous ice conditions: in sum- mer by maddening insects. Xt the final round-up the reindeer will be driven into a huge corral and count- ed. It is expected the total will reach 5.000. In the annals of Canadian his- tory, the reindeer trek provides a ro- mantic and enthralling page. New Trends In Education In an address before the Canadian Institute of Economics and Politics Convention meeting on Lake Couch- iehing. Dr. Duncan McArthur. On- tario Deputy Minister of Education, said that the development of the On- tario system of education had been like building the middle storey of a house before the foundation. In pion- eer days the first schools to be estab- lished had as their purpose the prep- aration of the children of the wealthy for law and the church. Later com- mon schools were Introduced, he said, for the benefit of farmers and fron- tiersmen, followed by the "public schools." But none of these schools functioned with a view to preparing their students for later life. The aim of the new education now is. Dr. Mc- Arthur declared, to tit pupils for life, and towards that end, changes are be- ing made in the present Ontario sys- tem. For example, in the teaching of the French language, less stress will be laid on learning the dry structure of the grammar. Instead pupils will be taught a conversational use of French, so that they may learn to speak it as an actual, living language. Crisis In Alberta Premier .\berhart rode into the headship of the Government of -Al- berta on the crest of a strong wave of popular feeling. He was the great hope of the people who hailed him as deliverer from the sad state into which provincial affairs had slipped. The eyes of the world, too, were on him and the Social Credit gospel. But opposition came from many quarters, so that to accomplish what he set out to do, he had practically to declare a dictatorship. Now a constitutional struggle of the first magnitude is going on in Alberta following the introduction of the Got- ernment's bill to license bankers op- erating in the province and control some of their activities. A Provincial Credit Commission is being named to undertake the control measures. The control issue may go to the courts, authoritative sources say, and the Dominion Government may step in "to protect the citizens of .Uberta from losing rights they possess In common with citizens of other prov- inces.'' .iaother piece of legislation in- troduced this week proposes to close the courts of Alberta to any action in- volving a constitutional test of .Al- berta statutes. Then only by a license granted by the Aberhart Government could the courts of the province pass on the constitutionality of a provin- cial law. Such legislation is looked tipbn by some as clashing with the British .\orth .\raerica Act. France Recovering FoUowiUo' the tall or Blum's ''Poptr lar Front" government in France this summer, a great many things could have happened â€" a gory revolution might have occurred with the country .swinging over to Fascism. Violence, however, was avoided, and, according to the new premier. Camille Chau- temps a profound social transforma- tion carried out quietly. Chautemps, less of a real •'socialist" than Blum, declares that France has now over- come the initial obstacles on the road to economic recovery, and is able to embark on a program designed to In- crease production- Drought In England In some sections of England, Dart- moor, for instance, if it doesn't rain for three days, local farmers begin worrying over the drought. But this year when no rain fell on the entire island for two weeks, it was a matter of general concern. The British De- partment of .\griculture ran up "offl- cial drought" signals in many parts of the country and newspapers this week featured drought news as front page stories. Chinese Will Fight Invaders Japcuiese Invasion of China to be Resisted, Week-end State- ment Says NANKING. â€" The Chinese Foreign Ollice Sunday issueii a statement re- iterating China's intention to resist Japan's invasion. "In the face of Japan's unlimited appetite for contiuest. China is obliged to take all the nece-ssary me.isures for defense." the statement said. "China is lighting now not only for the de- fense of its territory, but also for re- spect for international law. "If Japan has no territorial ambi- tions in China, then Tokio must agree to negotiate a reasonable settlement of all Sino-Japaiiese problems. China is ready to make every effort to avert the moral peril that threatens Asia and the wholp woiUi, but declares that .lapan has not respected Chinese sov- ereignty and has violated treaties, notably the Nine-Power Pact, the Cov- enant of the League of Nations and the nriand-KolIogg Peace Pact."
