Maitland Wilson, Allied Commander-j in-Chief in the Mediterranean, said last night two restrictions had been j imposed: 1.\tThat Italian administration ] should be carried on by officials of j proven good faith and Allied sympa- | thies.2.\tThe transfer involves no Allied i commitments to the government of ! Premier Pietro Badoglio and King\u2019 Victor Emmanuel after the fall of! Rome.The transfer gave the Italian Government administrative power over mainland territory South from the Northern jorders' of Salerno, Poten-za and Bari provinces, and over the islands of Sicily and Sardinia\u2014an area of approximately 30,000 square miles with a population estimated up to 10,500,000.Badoglio previously had exercised cent, ol only over Sardinia and four provinces in the \u201cheel\u201d of the Italian Peninsula, The statement specifically excepted the strategic Mediterranean islands of Pantelleria, Lampedusa and Lincsa and said military necessity required the Allied Military Government to retain control of the area adjacent to the battlelines.In the territory turned over to the Italians, Allied military Govern-| ment representatives will remain on duty to provide advice and guidance.Lt.-Gen.Frank N.Muson-MaeFar-lane, Deputy President of the Allied Control Commission, said this was Tons Of High Explosives Cascade On Frankfurt, Pas-de-Calais Area And Northern France Targets Hit Blackened, broken stumps are all that remain of the thousands of palm trees Island in the Kwajalein Atoll after American naval and air forces bombarded it.searches through the wreckage of a Japanese food dump.that, covered Namur A lone Marine here By AUSTIN BEALMEAR, Associated Press Staff Writer London, Feb.11.\u2014eids of activity.\u201d ISh and U.S.Forces at survey of potential demand for both NettUnO\t(industrial and agricultural products land preparations to manufacture By ROSS MUN'RO\t( civilian goods in plants now making Canadian Press War Correspondent./war materials.London, Feb.11.\u2014(OP Cable) \u2014I Of the post-war period the Con-Canadian special service troops are gress said: fighting alongside British and Unit-j \u201cIt is not a matter of reconstruc-ed States forces on the Nettuno tion and re-establishment; it in-bridgehead South of Rome, it was volves the extension of the methods learned here today.\tj of public ownership, operation and These troops are part of a Can- control into new fields of activity adian-American special service force and the conscious direction of the wliich was previously in action on whole Canadian economy towards the main Allied 5th Army front.j the achievement of a common pur-On that front the Germans dub- pose\u2014that of establishing and main-bed them \u201cmen with funny pants taining the highest possible standard and.dirty faces.\u201d a field dispatch of living for the people of Canada.\u201d from Foster Barclay, Canadian The Congress said the new wage-Press war correspondent related last!.controi order was \u201cdeliberately de-month.\t| signed to prevent wage increases\u201d They were trained in Montana anci was imposed without any con-as commandos, infantrymen, para- sultation of labor.Opposition was troopers and guerillas before going also expressed to freezing cost-of-to Italy, and wear composite Can- living bonuses at varying amounts, adian-American uniforms of spec- the anti-strike clauses of the order, ial design with flashes reading arui the provision for only one labor \u201cU.S.A.Canada\u201d on the shoulders, repesentative on the new six-man It is understood the Canadians board, landed early in the Nettuno oper-!\twage measure has stirred up ation, probably with American units,'SUch universal condemnation among and shared in the advance towards the workers all over Canada and if the Appian Way.\tjit is not rescinded or properly During recent German counter- amended there will be serious unattacks on the bridgehead force, rest throughout the Dominion,\u201d the they have seen heavy fighting.Ger- brief said.man shelling has been reported!

London, Feb.11.\u2014((P'>\u2014Japanese military experts believe a large-scale offensive by Admiral Lord Louis Mountbatten\u2019s forces in the Pacific is imminent.The Berlin Radio quoted a Tokyo dispatch as saying today.\u201cThe offensive probably will be amphibious and synchronized with a land attack,\u201d said the dispatch.\"The Japanese high command is preparing against landings at a number of points in Burma, Malaya, the Andamans and even in the former Dutch East Indies.\"In view of the great length of coastline it is thought the enemy might well succeed in establishing one or more bridgeheads.\u201d Mbs Mary Dunlavey and Mrs.Cecil Quinlan entertained at six tables of \u201c500\u201d one afternoon.After the games were finished the joint hostesses served a delicious lunch and the remainder of the evening was spent in singing and social chat.Mrs.J.L.Harvey and Misses Olive and Kathleen Harvey, of Granby, were the out-of-town guests at the party.Mr.Peter Lang spent a few days in Bromptonville in connection with his wood and lumber business there.J\u2019te.Donat Dubois spent a weekend with his parents at the Shefford House.Pte.Edward Harvey, of the Prévost Corps, of Montreal, spent a week's holiday with his uncle and aunt, Mr.and Mrs.J, P.McMahon.Visitors at the same homo were Mr.and Mrs.John L, Harvey, Mr, Leslie Harvey and the Misses Olive and Katheline Harvey, of Granby.Mr.William Leduc was a visitor in Granby.Mr.P.PL Taylor was a week-end guest of the Rev.B.S.Murray, M.A.Mr.and Mrs.Miles Enright and Miss King were in Granby for an afternoon.Mrs.Byron Murphy, who spent a few days in Montreal with her sons, has returned) to her home here.Mr.Frank Healy; of Warden, spent a week-end with friends in town.Mr.Jolin, of Waterloo, was in town doing the annual auditing of the municipal work of theh town.Miss Mary A.Bail was in town for a few holidays with her sister, Mrs.William Enright, Mr.Enright and family.Winter paying guests of Montreal spent the week-end at the home of Mr.and Mrs.A.Stone.Mr.and Mrs.Boucher entertained several guests over a week-end.Mr.A.Dutilly was a visitor in Montreal.Miss Fountain, of Montreal, was a week-end guest at their summer cottage home near Fulford.Mrs.Frederick Leduc passed away at the home of her daughter in Granby on February 5th and the remains were brought here, her former home, for burial.Sympathy from friends here is extended to the family in their bereavement.STANBRIDGE RIDGE MANSONVILLE Sensible Advice To Sufferers Rheumatic Aches-Pains\u2014Backaches i It's Good Advice.Take Allenru The days of gainful labor lost in Canada every year thru that enemy of mankind\u2014 Rheumatism\u2014is enormous.But in physical pain and agony and suffer- ; ing what is the loss?Why not make up your mind today that | you are going to get the excess acids out of your system.The very first thing to do is ; to go to Star Pharmacy or any progressive ' druggist and get a bottle of ALLENRU\u2014' the cost is but little.Complete and simple directions on how to : rwiftly and sensibly combat these stubborn i and acute pains comes with each bottle and j you\u2019ll be mighty thankful that you followed) these instructions.Take good advice\u2014take !

and at Harvard.He is noted for his commentaries on the Beveridge and Marsh reports and has made numerous lectures throughout Canada.The speaker enumerated the new conditions in which the wage-earner has to live and the new difficulties industry has to face.The migration of labor to new centres, where hands are required for war purposes has created miseries for a great number of the population.The speaker said, \u2018The great mistake made by those who established the Selective Service was the belief that they could repatriate everyone to their hometown, when their services would not be required.\u201d \u201cIt is foolish to believe that profit will ever be abolished in the industries for the benefit of the working class.The industry needs profit to improve and enlarge the plants and like everybody else it has to live.On the other hand it is foolish to believe that production is only a question of products.It.also has its human side.The wage earner must have a decent salary; work under sanitary conditions, and obtain the benefit of every possible serial service.\u201cThe wage earner must never forget that he is bound by a contract with his employer and that he must give the full measure of his ability and a full-time attention to his job.The mistake of some of the labor unions is to forget the duties of the laborer and- to think only of his rights.\u201cUnreasonable demands by the wage-earner may sometime cause serious difficulties to the employer.Increase in wages is possible only when financial structure and possibilities of the enterprise will permit.Strikes may cause the employer to pay more wages but he may have to dispense with a number of employees in the lower class.If the enterprise is not profitable after giving higher wage-rate he may have to close down.In either case the wage-earner is the looser.\u201d Georges Tremblay, executive member of the Junior Board, thanked the speaker for his guidance and good advice.If all the rules of good managership and of good discipline by the labor class given to-night, were followed by everyone, we would live in a much better world of peace and contentment.There were present: Mgr.J.E.M.Vincent, Father J.H.Coiteux, Father Joseph Valiquette, C.S.C., Father Leon Loiselle, Messrs.Alfred Geoffroy, Mayor of Richmond, Gerard Desmarais, J.E.Martel and J.A, Ouellet, Councillors;
