Fortunately the recent declaration that it was an "Oopen city" before its capture again saved it from war‘s destructiveâ€" ness, It was during the French Revoluâ€" tion late in*the Eighteenth Century that the city suflered untold damage. Again in 18185 the city‘s fall was a sigâ€" nal for an insurrection against the Napoleonic dynasty which resulted in restoration of Louis XVIII to the throne. There was a repetition of this outbhreak after the Prussians gave up possession in 1871 and the Commune started its brief but bloody and destructive reign. % In 1422 the English under King Henry VI took Paris. It was during the French campaigns to retake the city that Joan of Arc played her historic part in 1429 but the English remained in possession of the city until 1463 when it was restored to Charles VII, then king of France.

By appreciating our loss we may be led to determine its cause, and by realizing the cost in hard cash, we may be imâ€" pelled to take steps to alleviate» the condition. There are three chief causes for fire losses, Mr. Ham told the convention. They are lack of forethought, misâ€" chance and carelessness, "In this respect the people of the Western Hemisphere might well conâ€" template this comparison," said Mr. Ham, "and profitably seek the cause or causes of our own deplqrable record." ‘ire Losses, However, Very Costly to Canadians. ‘"They are few in numbers, as armies of any age have been counted.

There must be no Nazi air base in Iceland. Britain and Canada are vitally concerned.

Why send the Dominion‘s young men to so outlandish a place? Then people began to read up on Iceland. Hitler‘s Norwegian conquests brought the war closer to this farâ€" north country. As an air base, it would lessen the distance to Britain and America. Since nazism became a powâ€" er, Hitler‘s agents have had an eye on Tceland. German scientists began "holiâ€" daying" in the country. They were interested in wind currents and in the "lie of the land."

She was running around with other men during the time she was married to him, he said, and she became diseased and then named him as the source of the disease. "I got a legal separation from her in Ottawa," Trepannier said. "I tried to get an anullment but the priest told me that it would cost $375 and I couldn‘t see that.
