"The German wouldn't come out and said Capt. David AIlsop of Bakewell. Derbyshire, a member of the British 1st airborne reconnaissance squadron who landed with the first gliders at 1 30 a.m. Sept 17, six miles west of Arnhem.

"Wt glided down Into a potato field It was just like an exercise back In England except for a few odd bits of flak," said AUsop. "But two hours later the fun began when we made our first contact with Germans on reconnaissance patrol at Wolfheeze station.

From there on it got rougher and rougher. Infantry Reaches Arnhem "Th second day we tried to get Into Arnhem.

"Unfavorable weather more than was anticipated in advance has seriously hindered military operations on several occasions," a Supreme Headquarters spokesman declared Friday. During the early stages of the Invasion the troops were seriously hampered by storms In the English Channel and as recently as this week rain and fog pre.

vented the high command from flying reinforcements to th hard pressed airborne army In Holland en th seal originally planned. And the bad weather season on the continent is just beginning. Storms and gales that whipped the Channel into the wildest fury in many years several times slowed or prevented the landing of sup plies on the sandy beaches of in or mandy when they wer most des perately needed. "It was somewhat of a miracle that wer able to hold all our beachheads against such odds," Allied officer said. Millions of dollars worth of ship ping and special port facilities were wrecked in one three day period when th storm was at its peak.

Old timer described the June and July weather In Normandy aa the worst In 40 years. There were periods when it rained for four or five successive days, turning read and field Into quagmires. Foul weather often has kept the Allies from exploiting their hard won air superiority to th fullest extent a a tactical weapon in direct support of troops or fot long range bombing of industries and rail centres. All through the trial, and even when sentence wsa being passed upon them, they very seldom raisfd (heir eyes from the floor of the prisoners' box. Mr.

Justice Barlow assured the Jury that Tillonen's recommendation for mercy would be forwarded to the minister of justice. Surprise element of the sentences to the courtroom spectators was when Tillonen received th same sentence a the other three. Again muffled gasps from the large number of women spectators could be distinctly heard throughout the court room. Sentences Instructed that the prisoners should be "taken back to the place from whence you cam" and "taken to the place of execu won. exact location ws named.

Referring to the Crim inal Code, he said every one that was a par'y to the offense was guilty. Answering questions of the defense after th Jury had retired, at to whether he had th right to reduce the eharg to manslaughter, Mr. Justice Barlow re.

piled that "there must be elrcum. stance of some kind" to warrant this. "I gsv careful consideration to manslaughter, and I cam to th conclusion I can not agree to this," he said. The courthouse wa crowded throughout the afternoon while the Jury was out. with scores cf per sons waiting patiently to hear the verdict first hand.

BATTLE Th Netherlands, a front lin dt patch said. 1 To th southeast the American 1st Army has bitten deeper into Germany's Siegfried defenses southwest of Prum, knocking out eight fortifications in a single stuck. This it in the Aachen region.

1st army infantrymen also liberated Monpach and Wasserbillig on the Luxembourg border Just six miles west of Trier and captured Haute Cont six miles south of the border town of Remich which was won the day before. U.S. 7th Army troops pushed through rocket and mortar fire into the first two passes of the Vosges barrier to the Rhine, and the armor wrecking S. 3rd Army, beating back German counterblows in a hard slugging fight, hsd knocked out at least 113 enemy tanks in two days. German broadcasts pictured a violent and "very fluctuating" battle to fore th Vosges passes and Belfort Gap guarding such cities at Strasbourg and Mulhouse.

A thin snowfall carpeted the Vosge foothills, Berlin said. Belgians Save Menin Gate yPRES, Belgium. Sept 13 delayed). Th Menin Gate magnificent British wr memorial here todsy would probably be a mass ot wreckage had It not been for the quick action of a handful ot Belgian patriots. Here Is the story ss It told today by two leader of the Front of Independence.

"A few hours before th Poles entered th city Sept. 7, I saw a crew of German gunners set up a 105 millimetre gun on th main road about 50 yard from the (Menin) Arch and point the muzzle ot th big gun toward the dome," one of the Maquis leaders said. They had a good supply of shell and It was evident to me that thev would bring down the roof of the massive arch In order to block all oncoming traffic. I waited there for two houra expecting the gun to start shooting any minute, when suddenly six of our men armed with German sub marine guns pounced from behind on the gunners who surrendered without a struggle." And so the Menin Gate is Intact today but for several gashes in the rear pert caused by shrspflel In 1940 when British sappers blew up the bridge across the canal. Before cleaning out the city of collaborators the Ypres patriots managed 10 take fVX) German prisoners.

Four men of the "Armee Beige" movement armed with little revolvers seized 150 Germans who meekly laid down their automatic weapon. 4 PREMIER DREW (CentmiM fm Sin Omj If at any time we are more fortunate than some other members of that team we will be glad to help them to the very limit of our strength whenever they need our help. We have no thought that the financial resource of this province should not stand behind every legitimate measure for the assist ance of any pan of Canada which is In need of help. We want to take our full share In building a powerful and prosperous He asked if such statements rounded "like Ontario versus the rest of the country?" "Does that sound like 'Inrom promising Isolstion' as the Sifton press describe It? The answer Is clear. We all know the enormous political debt to the Liberal party which the ISiftons Inherited, but even with that heavy obligation there surely should he some limit to their malicious efforts to create friction between different parts ot the country by statements of this kind which have not behind them even the slightest color of truth.

"We Canadians have every reason to be proud of the Independence, the courage, and the Integrity of our press. For that very reason the unscrupulous course followed by the Sifton press is all the more conspicuous. It is all the more reprehensible when along with their constant, misrepresentation they repeatedly profess their belief In national unity." Mr. Drew said he would maintain his admiration for the British people no matter how often the Winnipeg Free Press said he was too pro British. P.

McTsgue, Pregressiv Conservstiv national chairman. said the "times wer truly out of joint" when party supporter wer made the subject ef com. men attack by the "Sifton press and th Canidian Tribune." "One Just sometimes wonders which one in his rapidly changing world will absorb th other," he said. WILL ARNHEM DELAY VICTORY? "Capture of Harbors To Relieve Supply Problem is Main Task LONDON. Sept.

30. Will Arnhem's terrible epic greatly delay the Allies' invasion of nrmanv? Th answer, to Judo from th consensus ef military writer and commentator. It that undoubtedly ther will be a delay but It will not be serious. Here's th situation in Holland at th moment. German troops of high grade fighting ability number 60,000 to th west and north ot a British salient thrusting beyond Nijmegen.

Forty thousand more troops of inferior quality hold coastal defenses and act as garrisons at Rotterdam, Amsterdam and other centres. Away to the east runs 400 miles of the Siegfried's fortifications. These are held by fewer than 50 enemy divisions of varying strength wheress far adequate de fense 80 divisions, or on to every five miles, ar essential Premier Churchill has Just an nounced that the Allies have be tween two and three million troops on th continent. But these figures mean nothing unless the actual number of Allied front lin fight' ins divisions are given. These may be roughly estimated at half th prim minister's total or well over on million men.

Th German cannot possibly hav on million front line lighters after their tremendous losses in Normandy and on the Seine and their inability to withdraw units from any otner front. Tnree quarter of a million i a more likely figure according to the best authorities here. However, th number ar not a deeisiv factor In th strugo1 yet. Befor Allied numerical superiority can mas for a final knock out, million of ton ef supplies must be landed In France, Belgium and Holland and this may tak a month or lx week at least So far only on great port Is available Cherbourg. Recovery and re opening of Brest, Le Havre, Dieppe and even Calais, now about to fall to Canadians, is therefore all Important at this Juncture.

With these harbors freely working the knockout blow which the Allies intend could be delivered befor winter sets In. Meanwhile as a corrective to undue optimism It it well to em phasize that soldiers at th front, are merely irritated at talk of an early peace. They all agree that grim and dirty fighting lie ahead of them. Bombers Pound West Germany LONDON, Sept. 30 (CP) Between 750 and 1,000 United States heavy bombers today attacked Munster.
