Fighting back from their goal line, Roughriders attempted a lateral passing play, with Bill Orban shoving the ball across to Cullen on a dash out of the end zone. Cullen dropped the ball in full stride and Mel Wilson ran in to pick It up and continue on across the Regina goal line. Ches MeCance place kicked the extra point.

Finally, before the first quarter ended, Cullen was rouged by Wilson on a 60 yard kick by Stevenson. Riders threatened In spectacular fashion in the second quarter when Churlton caught a 20 yard forward pass delivered by Cullen from the Regina 20 yard line and ran to the Bomber seven. The Roughriders failed to gain from there, however, as Winnipeg's wlngline defended stoutly.

'Pegs Top Regina; Contest Played Under Protest Go For Soccer By ROSS MUNRO Canadian Press War Correspondent SOMEWHERE IN ENGLAND, Oct. 20.

A Canadian Army soccer team probably will play in the Inter Allied Cup playdowns sponsored by the Football association. The Canadians find they cannot enter the regular league which includes teams from the British Army and other Allied forces in the United Kingdom but it is likely they will have a crack team ready for the playdowns in February. Interest in soccer has grown In the Canadian camps in the past year and the Canadians' game has improved considerably. This dove lopment was encouraged by the soccer school run by the 1st Canadian Division at a special camp where weapon training was combined with athletic instruction. Jlaj.

Percy Klaehn of Saskatoon, head of the camp, advanced the idea that a Canadian soccer team should enter the Inter Allied Cup playdowns and he feels the Canadians could give a good account themselves.

Official Tells Of Share In War Effort VICTORIA, B.C., Oct. Gross revenues Lanarta railways are creasing because of 20. volume of traffic due to the traffic department, threw this sidelight on the country's basic transportation industry here today. The railways, he said, are meeting all transportation problems created by war conditions and their efficiency has reached an all time high level. War traffic, however, he said, should not be regarded as perma nent grow th or development.

The traffic expert said he was surprised during his trip to the west coast by way of Saskatoon and Edmonton to hear rumors of an Impending car shortage to handle the current wheat crop In addition to heavy traffic In other commodities. "There is no shortage and no likelihood of a short age," he said. Until recently, when he was forced to relinejuish the post because of pressure of his railway duties. Mr. Stephen served with his chief, Sir Edward Reatty, with the British ministry of war transport, handling operations of the many Canadian Pacific ships as well as those of various nationalities operated by the Canadian Pacific Steamships Limited for the ministry, and there, he said, he saw many instances of heroism on the part of merchant sailors.

"No Lets Hazardous" "Their war time tasks," said, of transporting troops and sup plies thrnunh submarine infested 7c lnsKw Rangers tropny. cmniemauc oi hjppt to of Cup final, surface raiders and long range hnmhers, are no less hnzardous than those of the navy." Of the 18 liners. Pacific and Atlantic fleets, transferred by his company to government service at the outbreak of war, six had been lost. Mr. Stephen said, Including the flag ship Empress of Britain.

There were now some 3.500 Canadian Pacific men enlisted with the armed forces but this flgur was closer to 8,700 if allowance is made for those who are manning the company's ships on active service in the danger area. Larger shops of the Canadian Pacific now producing munitions and war machines, he said, are mnking a further contribution and many of the company's officers and employes are serving without remuneration with various agencies set up to further the war effort. 'Formidable Task Ahead In Hog Production By Ttit Canadian Frew OTTAWA, Oct. 20. The Canadian Bacon Board, although expressing belief hop; production would show a fair increase durinp 1941 42.

Salvation was Parrd trust rcU'5 warned today in its October bul ith in Ietm that the Dominion faces a "formidable" task if it is to meet Britain's expanded, requirements for pork products. But the job is "certainly not impossible." the board said as it reported that preliminary estimates indicate hog slaughterings in the 12 months ending next Sept. 30 will be around 7,000,000 head, an increase of about 13.3 percent from the 6.176,000 head killed in the preceding year. The growing part played by Western Canada in boosting production was clearly demonstrated. Most From West "Slaughterings in Western Canada increased (in 1940 41) over the I preceding year by over 1,000,000 hogs, or 46 4 percent, while in the least the increase was less than 300.000 hogs, or 14.8 percent," the board said.

"For the year at a whole slaughterings in Western Canada represented 52 percent of the total as compared with only 46 percent a year ago." Last week a Bacon Board official said the prairies now are producing percent of the bacon exported, Today's bulletin estimated that of of; the 7,000,000 hogs expected to be in marketed in the next year, prob ably 4,000,000 would come from the aUUcU i rnf nnn .1 4 wi aim uuui Lite "With nn ernnrt nutlet fnr lit war; working expenses also are 600,000,000 pounds of bacon sharply, but there has been no in (tne amount of tne new British crease in freight rates.

"Hog producers who have adequate feed supplies can alto cooperate In the next few months before a new pig crop comes to market, by seeing that no under finished hogs are marketed. The addition of a few pounds to each hog carcass will materially increase the total amount of product available.

"The Bacon Board will continue to direct every effort to ensure that hog prices in the various markets in Canada bear a fair relationship to each other, and to re flect export and domestic values."

This represents an advance of 30 cents a hundredweight over the price at the close the 1940 41 agreement.) Experiments conducted by the Bacon Board have proven the feasibility of using portable refrigeration units to convert ordinary freighters Into ships suitable for trans Atlantic shipments, the board said today. Faced with the problem of assuring enough refrigerated space for increased shipments to the United Kingdom, the board conducted research for portahle equipment, which It said can he Installed "fairly quickly," temporarily making ordinary stowage compartments Into virtual refrigerated chambers.

Berlin Diary W. L. Shlrer Poland AndThe Wai HasStarted INSTALMENT VI BERLIN, Sept. 1, 1939 It's a "counter attack!" Ai dawn this morning Hitler moved against Poland. It's flagrant act of aggression.

But Hitler and the Higl Command call it a "counter attack." The people in the street were apathetic when I drovd to the Rundfunk for my first broadcast at 8.15 a.m. Alon the east west axis the Luftwaffe were mounting five bU1 anti aircraft guns to protect Hitler when he addressed th( Reichstag at 10 a.m I had to remain at the radio to handle Hitler's speecbf lur iiufiiLfi. iiiiuuiiuut uie 6ut'uiii, i uiouuuk as Ji listened, ran a curious strain, as though Hitler himsell were dazed at the fix he had got himself into and felt a little desperate, about it. tomorrow Britain and ranee probably will come and you have your second World War. (Later.

Two thirty a.m.) Almost through our first blackout. We had our first air raid alarm at 7 p.m. No planes came over. But with the Cngflih and French In, It may be different tomorrow. The isolation from the outside world that you feel en night like this Is Increased by a new decree issued tonight prohibiting the listening to foreign broadcasts.

Who's afraid of the truth? And no wonder. Curious that not a tingle Polish bomber got through tonight. Berlin, sept, a Hitlers "counter attack" on Poland has on this Sabbath day become a world war! Time: 11 a.m. I was standing in the Wilhelmplatr about noon when the loud speakers suddenly announced that England had declared herself at war with Germany. Some 250 people were standing there in the sun.

There was not a murmur. They just stood there as they were before, Stunned. The people cannot realize yet that Hitler has led them Into a world war. Last night I heard Germans talking of the "Polish thing" lasting but a few weeks, or months at the most. Few believed that Eritain and France would move.

Ribbentrop was sure they wouldn't, and had told the Fuehrer, who believed him. Bt ml i in, or pi. Auer min and no air raid, even with the British and French in the war. On the feedback from New York tonight I heard the story of the sinking of the Athenia with 1.400 passengers, Including 240 Americans, aboard. The English said it was a German boat.

The Germans promptly denied it. Sept. 5 Very strange about that western front. The Wllhelmstrasse assured us today that not a single shot has been fired there yet. Berlin, Sept.

6 In nne week in Poland the Germans have pushed fair beyond their 1914 frontiers. It begins to look like a rout for the Poles. Berlin. Sept. 8 The German High Command announces that at 5.15 p.m.

today German troops reached Warsaw. Even our military attaches were stunned by the news. Berlin. Sept. 9 No more news of the German army's entry into Warsaw and I begin to suspect yes terday's announcement was Goerine broadcast today.

He said 70 German divisions now in Poland would be released within a week for service "elsewhere. Apparently the war in Poland is all but over. Brltian and France have done nothing on the western front to relieve the tremendous pressure on Poland. It begins to look as though in Hitler we have a new Napoleon who may sweep Europe and conquer it. Berlin.

September 10. One week after the Anglo French declaration of a state of war the average Ger man is beginning to wonder if It is war, why only a. few leaflets over the Rhineland? The Industrial heart of Germany lies along the Rhine close to France. From there come most of the munitions that are blowing up Poland with such deadly effect. Yet not a bomb has fallen on a Rhineland factory.

Berlin. Sept. 11 For the first time todav the war communique mentions French artillery fire on the Western Front. Berlin, September 16 Every German I've met today liked Colonel Lindbergh's broadcast. The story gets a good play in the Berlin newspapers, which is more than Roosevelt's speeches get.

The headlines are friendly. Berlin, Sept. 17 At six o'clock this morning, Moscow time, the Red army began an invasion of Poland. Russia of course had a non aggression part with Poland. Off to the "front" tomorrow, if we can find one.

Zoppot, near Danzig, Sept. 18 Drove all day long from Berlin through Pomcranla and the Cor ridor to here. Here the Germans say, a whole division of Polish cavalry charged against hundreds of German tanks ana was anni hilated. Danzig, Sept. 19 20 (2.30 a.m.) Today I have had a glimpse of an actual battle.

It was going' on two miles north of Gdynia on a ridge that stretched for seven miles inland from the sea. There was something about it that was very tragic and at the same time gro' tesque. We stood on a hill in the midst of the city of Gdynia. It was a German observation post. Officers stood about, peering through field glasses.

The Germans had the Poles sur rounded on three sides, and the sa, from which German destroyers were peppering them, cut them off on the fourth. Tho Germans were using everything in the way of weapons, big guns, small guns, tanks, and aeroplanes. The Poles had nothing but machine guns, rifles, and two anti aircraft piecer which they were trying desperately to use as artillery against German machine gun posts and German tanks. The Poles had turned two large buildings, one an officers' school, the other the Gdynia radio station. into fortresses and were firing machine suns from several of the windows.

After a half hour a German shell struck the roof of the school and set it on Are. Then the German Infantry, supported by tanks, charged up the hill and surrounded the building. But they did not take it. The Poles kept machine gunning them from the basement windows of the burning building. Finally a squadron of Nazi bombers appeared.

It was a hopeless position for the Poles. And yet they fought on. The German officers with us kept praising their courage. We watched the battle until noon. As we left I asked an officer about the Polish artillery.

'They haven't any." he said. "If they had just one they could have blown us all to bits. Its only two miles over there, and this would have been a natural target." We drove to the Westerplatte, a small island between Danzig and the sea which had been used by the Poles as a supply depot. For five days a small Polish garrison had held out on the Island against the 11 inch guns of the Sehleswig Holsteln tiring at point blank range and Stukas dropping 500 pound bombs. Today the Westerplatte looked like the wasteland around Verdun.

Interesting: the bombs tossed by the Stukas were more deadly and more accurate than the shells from the old battleship. A round Polish bunker not over 40 feet In diameter had received two direct hits from 500 pound bombs. The 10 foot thickness of concrete and steel had been torn to pieces like tissue paper. In the afternoon we drove to the Danzig Guild Hall to hear Hitler make his first speech since bis Reichstag address of September started off the war. I had a seat on the aisle, and as he strode past me to the rostrum I thought ha looked more imperious than I had ever seen him.

Also he was about as angry during his speech as I've ever seen him. Afterwards a Nazi acquaintance confided to me that the "old man" was In a terrible rage be cause he had counted on making today's speech in Warsaw, that he had waited three or four days outside the Polish capital, burning to enter it like a conquering Caesar and make his speech of victory, and that when the Poles Inside refuted to surrender, his patience had cracked and he rushed to Danzig to make his speech. He had to talkl Berlin, Sept. 20 Tonight th press talks openly of peace. All the Germans I've talked to today are dead sure we shall have peace within a month.

They are in high spirits. Berlin, Sept. 21 In an order of the day to his troops last night General von Brauchitsch, the com mander in chief of the army, an nounced that the operations against I'oiand were concluded. Thus ends the "counter attack." In 18 daya this amazing fighting machine which is the German army has overrun Poland, annihilated Its armies, chased Its government from Polish soil. But Warsaw still holds out gallantly.
