(A bulletin was put on the wires immediately, quoting Admiral Nimitz as announcing an attack on the Japanese fleet in Korean waters, but was quickly killed when the remainder cf the dispatch from Honolulu disclosed the admiral was quoting medieval history.) This is the Admiral's "commur.i-jy-": "Powerful Allied naval forces have attacked a portion of the Japanese fleet lying at anchor near the entrance to Fusan harbor on the southeast coast of Korea. Twenty-six of approximately 80 fhips present in the harbor were set afire and the remainder dispersed. a later engagement, more than 70 Japanese vessels, including warships and transports, were encountered by the Allied fleet and sunk.

Admiral Chester W. Nimitz. United States Pacific Fleet commander, for a few minutes today had a roomful of war correspondents believing they were getting one of the war's most sensational stories a smash ing blow against the Japanese fleet Oil UUi tM. At the end of an hour-long press conference, he said: i "You might be interested in this communique: Then, with a serious face, he read from a paper folded to resemble a naval communique.

He told how "powerful allied naval forces' had attacked a portion of the Japanese fleet at Fusan. Korea, inflicting heavy damages in that ahd a subsequent engagement. The admirals face was so serious and the text so plausible that most correspondents believed he was referring to a current action. There was tension in the room and a number of the newspapermen remarked quietly on the surprising nature of the news. With a little grin, the admiral came to a part of the communique he had ignored before the date This communique incidentally.

he said, "is dated late June, 1592." (The admiral referred to a Kor ean-Chinese exploit during an early Japanese invasion of the peninsula, and evidently was quoting from a Korean communique. He went on to say that this proved the Japanese had been defeated at sea. He also referred to the hurricane destruction of Kublai Khan's fleet, which invaded Japan in 12S1, to prove the importance of weather in Pacific operations.) There was a hearty laugh and everyone relaxed. (The Pearl Harbor correspondents REEDUCATION HELD NEEDED IN REICH Roger Picard Tells Alliance Francaise Peace Dependent On Unity of Purpose There can be no peace in the world, unless the Allies maintain their present unity and firmness in purpose, namely to reeducate the German people to a democratic nation, which will respect her neighbors and other nations in the world, according to Roger r.card. noted French jurist and authority on social history who spoke last night at the Ritz Carlton Hotel under the auspices of Alliance Francaise during the first lecture of the society for this season.

"Not hatred, but a strict fupervi-sion." he said, "should be imposed upon all parts of Germany and every phase of German life in order to prevent any secret rearming spiritually and materially." Mr. Picard, who is also an officer of the Legion of Honor and who twice addressed the Alliance meetings at Montreal in the past warned against imposing a second treaty of Versailles, which he claimed did not settle the problem causing two wars within 20 years. Speaking strictly from his personal experiences and repeating that he does not intend to identify his personal views with those of any political group here or in France, he said "hatred can never lead to justice and if we wish to build a lasting peace, we must give jus tice based upon Christian principles, which do not preclude punishment of war criminals and of any other criminals who will be found guilty of crimes, committed before or during the war." As a further measure of security ni'ainst any rearming of Germany. Mr. Picard proposed to dismember I the Reich but declared himself against a division of German states I or of Germany as such.

He argued that it would not be in the interest of peace to divide a nation of sixty millions but rather to check any idea of a new "Greater as Bismarck and Hitler have tried to present it to their people. "History has given ample proof that it is impossible to divide Germany, so let us not be misled by idle dreams." he said. "A partition into several states with a strict supervision of an Allied occupation-government and with modern systems of education, such as radio and movies will offer, there is a great chance to make a democratic nation of a people, who so far have only known obedience to supreme masters, be it the Kaisers or Hitlers of the past century." Mr. Picard said: "Don't be fooled bv the idea that there are good Germans and bad Germans. All voted for Hitler.

He received the greatest number of votes and the greatest enthusiasm of any German ruler and the Germans are all responsible for his being in power. Therefore, nil of them should suffer. The mU group, living in foreign countries, since his advent, actually does not count in the postwar plans, because the majority of them will never return. Let us therefore, be realists and avoid a third war. by seeing the Germans as they reallv are: A nation which needs a re-education under a strict tC3clicr Ernest Tetreau.

Duplessis, speaking to a large gathering at the complimentary dinner tendered in the Atwater Market Hull last night to Hon. Hormisdas Delisle, member for St. Henry, and Minister without portfolio.

Delisle and his friend ship for him. a man of heart and loyalty, a true man of the people The Ministers he had around him said the Premier, represented all parts of the province, and all classes, and for the first time it could be truly said that it was a govern ment of the people. The elections had resulted in triumph for the people of Quebec said the Premier. It had been a battle won by the people against overwhelming odds, as had Deen thought, but it had been won won against almost all the press, against a system of radio which would have made Hitler jealous, against a great electoral machine, against those with big contracts, and also against "last minute" patriots. Turning to Montreal affairs, the Premier remarked that there were various problems here, including a municipal problem.

The people of Montreal had had a system of 99 councillors forced on them, one which they did not like, judging by the small vote which turned out last municipal elections, and yet instead of the people being given an opportunity of saying what system they did want, they were now to be asked if they did not want the present system to be lengthened into a three-year one instead of a two-year system. When he had been in power he had provided that a referendum could be held to permit the people to express themselves. Ottawa Pastor Urges Draftees for Overseas (Special to The Gazette.) Ottawa. October 10. -That home defence soldiers should be made available as reinforcements to the armed forces overseas was suggested by Rev.

C. L. G. Bruce, rector of the Church of St. Alban the Martyr, on Sunday.

The remark was made by the rector during a memorial service for three youryr men of the parish. FO. George Chequer, Cpl. David Friend and Cpl. Frederick Dennis, who lost their lives on active service.

"Those men had confidence in us let us jthow that their confidence was not mispla-eed. we can show it in two wavs by giving our blood to the Red Cross and by using whatever influence we have to see that the thousands of men now in Canada are sent as reinforcements for the divisions overseas." Diphtheria Deaths Nil For 15 Municipalities Fifteen cities and towns of the Province of Quebec, including Verdun, Outremont. Westmount. La-chine and Longueuil. have not had one single death from diptheria during the past three years, according to information recently released by the Quebec Ministry of Healtb and Social Welfare.

Attributing this most satisfactory state of affairs to the extensive program of immunization carried on in the 15 cities and towns, the Ministry hopes, say officials, that the results will convince people in other centres, where immunization has not been so thorough, of the value of the toxide and of the benefits to be derived from immunization. The centres which have all but conquered a preventable disease that at one time numbered its victims in thousands are: Drummond-ville, Granby, Grand'Mere, Longueuil, Lachine. Outremont, Ver-eiun Westmount. St. Hyacinthe.

Three Rivers, Valleyfield. Luuzon, Montmngny, St. Jerome and Vic-ioriaville. There are 360.973 people in these la towns and Cities comprising families, according to the 1941 census. The fact that not one of these homes for the past three years suffered a death from diphtheria is regarded by public health officials as an encouraging indication of the development of enlightened Snd progressive communities.

FIAV0RFUU CHASE SANBORN! OF FLAVOR? 0 it (Bv Wireless to The New York Times and The Gazette.) London, October 9. The latest reports on condition in the Chan- nel Islands indicate that an acute food situation has arisen for the 70,000 persons still left on only British soil occupied by the Germans. Since the Allies apparently prefer to wait for the eventual surrender of the German garrisons on the ia-la nd, rather than sacrifice time a. id men on their recapture, there is little prospect of an immediate improvement in the islanders' lot. According to a report made by youn men a ho reached Britain l.u-t wick after having escaped from Jcri-ey in a twelve-loot boat, the food thera is sufficient to last only till mid-November.

There is even less food on Guernsey, they said. Estimates on the number of German troops on 'the four inhabited islands of the Channel group vary. The men who escaped from Jersey said that 16,000 Germans were on that island alone, and it is thought that there are perhaps between 10,000 and 13.000 on Guernsey, Sark and Alderney. They arc cut off from escape by the tight patrol that the Royal Navy maintains around the islands. The Germans could make any at.

tempt to invade from the ca a costly affair, tince they fortified the islands heavily after having occupied them in June. 1940. Using thousands of foreign slave workers, the Germans enlarged the islands" airfields, straightened the coastal defences and built underground forts. At each corner of Jersey, for example they installed batteries of nine-inch and sixtcen-inth guns, which were fired ineffectively during the American clean-up of the Cotentin peninsula. Before abandoning the islands, Britain evacuated the local militia and 30 000 civilians.

More than 2.000 of the remainder were deported to Germany to work. The Germans also shipped out all residents born in the United Kingdom. The occupation has almost destroyed the islands' economy, which was based on agricultural exports and the tourist trade. The Germans have lived off the land, taking most of what the 'islanders produced. LONDON PRESS" WARY OF PLAN (Continued from Page One.) swiftly and decisively if the -a ill to peace is insistent." The Conservative Daily Mail, while conceding that "the new peace organization seems to be planned better than the old." said "but it does not go very far yet." The Mail asked: "Supposing a complaint is made to the council abot one of the big five? Who is to keep an eye on the policemen?" "The League of Nations shelved this awkward problem," the paper added "but obviously the world must have something better next time."

OalPlle Slap by Molt Artist Colllln CANADIANS FLANK SCHELDT GERMANS (Continued from Page One) headquarters described the man- oeuvre as successful. They were in the rear of 5.000 Germans, who have been attacking the Canadian positions along the 'Leopold Canal, and were threatening to cut off their escape to the Scheldt islands in the estuafy. A field dispatch said the Canadian bridgehead across the Leopold Canal was strengthened tonight after determined German resistance had reduced the grip held by western infantry on the north bank. The Germnn forces in Walcheren and South Bevcland Islands were sore straits.

Ihe main dike on Walcheren was breached again Sunday by R.A.F. bombers west of Vlissingen (Flushing) and the only enemy defences peeping above the flood around that port were a few cun positions aton the dike. The Canadian advance north of Antwerp enabled Crerai-'s forces to dominate the town of Kor teven. which straddles the only road on a causeway out of the islands Korteven is 15 miles north of Ant werp. The grinding drive of the United States 1st Army was threatening a break-through on a 20-mile front before Cologne, on the west bank of the Rhine, and Dusi.eldorf, at the gateway to the Ruhr valley.

The two cities were from 26 to 30 miles beyond American advanced elements. Before the road from Aachen, ancient coronation city of Teutonic Kings, northeast to Cologne linaiiy was slashed the Germans dealt three counterblows at commanding heights north of the village of Ver-lautenheide three miles northeast of Aachen. The first came before dawn, but the biggest broke just before noon and wilted in an artillery barrage that left German dead strewn on the battlefield. Then the American infantry swung over to the attack, and broke across the main highway, leaving only a few secondary roads leading north from Aachen open to the Germans. Their comrades on the north seized the village of Bardenberg and fought a mile south to the edge of the village of Wurselen.

through which these secondary roads thread. Wurselen is three miles north of AachCu. American forces pressing on east from their original Siegfried Line breakthrough north of Aachen at Oidtw-eiler, were within miles of Julich, a communications centre where one good all-weather road runs 26 miles northeast to Dussel-dorf and another heads 23 miles due east to Cologne. Meanwhile, patrols and small tank forces nudged into Aachen itself, and infantry moved into the southern outskirts, digging out the stand-and-die SS.

Aachen had lost its military value for Germany, but it apparently was being held for political reasons, since Hitler has declared German soil inviolate.

Robombs Over Britain Fifth Night in Row London, October 9. XK -For the fifth consecutive night the Germans fired flying bombs against southern England tonight as rescuers still dug for dead and injured in debris caused by Sunday night's raids Fierce anti-aircraft fire and night fighter action on the East Coast met tonight's missiles. Ther was no official explanation of tremendous blasts heard Sunday night. That night's missiles which destroyed a number of buildings killed at least 16 persons and were believed to have buried others. Thirty patients escaped injury when a hospital was damaged.

London, October 9 The veil of anonymity drawn over all the roads and footpaths, towns and villages of Britain directly after tne fall of France, to bnffie the German invader, will be lifted officially tomorrow when Home Secretary Morrison revokes tne Removal 'of Direction Signs order."

Norris, Head of Newly-formed Group, Stresses Growth on Interest "The advantages to industry offered by psychology have long been recognized by our universities and colleges, but it is only within recent years that industry itself has become actively interested in the subiect." Dr. K. E. Norris. Principal S.r George Williams College and President of the recently formed Psychological Association of the Province of Quebec, said in a recent interview.

The Association has a representative membership com-priced of French and English psychologists and professional workers in the allied fields of personnel, education, psychiatry and rehabilitation. Dr. Norris stated that courses in various phases of industrial psycho logy had been given at iucuui university fur over 20 years, both as part of the regular curriculum and extension courses, and that Sir George Williams College had also recognized their importance over a number cf years. At the University of Montreal similar courses have also been available and are rapidly expanding. A temporary halt has been decided upon in the taking of applications for membership in the newly formed Psychological Association of the Province of Quebec, it was staled by Dr.

Norris. There has been a great demand by professional workers the psychological field for recognition by the Association, said stressing that one of the objectives of the Association, is to certify the qualifications of these acting as psychologists and giving psychological tests, and to act in the" samecapacity regarding psychologists as do similar professional organizations for the medical, engineering and other professions.

VATICAN POLICY HIT IN MOSCOW (Continued from Page One.) that the Hitlerites should be forgiven." This Vatican foreign policy line has angered Catholics throughout the world, according to Mr. Petroff. who said that the Vatican must be aware of "the gruesome experiences" of Catholics in Italy, France, Belgium. Poland and other German-dominated countries during the war and must know the attitude of these Catholics toward the Hitlerite beasts." War and the Working Class said that the Vatican's announced policy cf strict neutrality in the war must be compared with "'neutrality toward a murderer and his victim." but added that the stated policy was not being carried out, especially in regard to activities that would react against Kusiia and her leaders. The article quoted an American magazine article cf January, 1943, by a former United Press correspondent in Rom-3 who said that with first-class training in map reading.

Of all wartime regulations, the "emergency restrictions on the exhibition of place names' were the most universally observed. There have been many offenders against the blackout, rationing laws and the innumerable "dos" and "don'ts" of war, but none apparently against the signs order. Within a mile from Piccadilly Circus tne legend "London" was taboo and was duly blacked out, so that the invader, had he ever got so far, might imagine he had strayed into Glasgow or Manchester.

October 9. Six persons, including one woman, were injured here this evening in a head-on collision which tumbled automobile into the Richelieu River about two miles east of here. Two of the victims w-ere Montrealers. The injured persons were treated by local physicians and kept under observation for several hours. Most of the victims suffered from nu merous cuts.

The automobile driven by Bernard Ducharme, of Ste. Marthe, balanced on the bank of the river for sufficient time to allow the occupants to disembark before it dropped into the water. With Ducharme, who suffered cuts to his hands, face and legs were Gaston Daigle, who had similar injuries and Leo Voghel, with a broken shoulder. Both men are also cif Ste. Marthe.

Dewey as a foreign policy adviser should the Republican nominee be elected President of the United States. "I wish to make clear," Mr. Hull said, "that my support and loyalty belong primarily to the government and its present official head. President Roosevelt. And in order that no American citizen may be misted this will continue to be my attitude." Mr.

Hull said he did not know whether the reports of Governor Dewey's intentions were "authorized or unauthorized." but added that he felt that stating his position "at this early stage" would "preserve the policy of non-partisan efforts" in the development of international peace plans. Three New York newspapers, the New Yoi Times, the Herald Tribune ttiifi the D.iiiv News, reported there are indications that Mr. Dewey, if elected, would ask Mr. Hull to stay on with the administration. the Vatican had prepared and sent many priests into "Germany-occupied parts of the Soviet Union after instructing them "how to struggle against heretical ideas spread by the Soviet state.

Mr. Petroff said that the Germans vainly hoped to use these Catholic priests for "controlling the Russians and reconcil-inc them to German occupation. Much of the article is devoted to quoting from Catholic and lay newspapers of Britain and America criticizing the Vatican's hope that a peace can be achieved under which the conquered will not suffer at the hands of the victors. The article also notes that the Pope has had a large number of visitors daily since Rome was liberated, including American, French. Canadian, Polish and British soldiers and officers, arch-states and Britain, and foreign diplomats.

Only three names are given and these are anathema to the Soviet Republic: Generals Kazimierz Sos- nokowsky and Wladyslaw Anders of the Polish army loyal to the London government, and William K. Bullitt, former United States Ambassador to the Soviet Union and France. Mr. Petroff also commented on the large diplomatic corns ac credited to the Vatican and added that it was difficult to see the purpose of continued representation of "Lithuanian fascists. Concluding.

Mr. Petroff rerolled that the American foreign oolicy association had warned that one re sult of the popular belief that 'he Vatican and Fascism were linked in Italy might result in a period of "unprecedented anlo-clericalism." oniy i i i 1 The Northern Life's Readjustment Policy makes it possible for you to own a $5,000 life insurance policy.
