between the opposing forces with a view to avoiding bloodshed had delayed entry into the capital of Syria.Coinciding with indications of the imminent fall of the city, an Associated Press representative at 1.10 p.m., local time, sent a dispatch which told of Vichy Government measures to protect French residents of Syria and Lebanon from native disorders.This dispatch said the Allied columns were only a few' miles away.Damascus was further approached by a flanking operation led by a Vichy officer who left Syria three weeks ago to join the Free French forces.At the head of a troop of picturesque Circassian cavalry, which followed him from Syria, Col.Philibert Collet was reported to have skirted a semi-desert area southeast of Damascus to strike from the area.British artillery and mechanized forces, meanwhile, were said to be hammering at the main defences South of the ancient Syrian capital, where the Vichy troops are occupying strong positions near Kissome.Dispatches from the front telling of these operations indicated the Allies had abandoned the sparring tactics they adopted at the start of the campaign in the hope of avoiding bloodshed.Continued on Page 2,

(Canadian Press Staff Writer) Ottawa, June 13.\u2014\u2014Ushered in by a declaration of impatience with military training methods from a serving officer, a general debate on national defence matters continues in the House of Commons today.Last night Maj.Alan Cockeram (Con., 1 ork South), wearing the uniform of the Irish Regiment of Canada of which he is second in command, asked Defence Minister Ralston for some \u201chouse-cleaning\u201d at National Defence headquarters and complained of slowness in the supply of equipment and in the training progress of troops in Canada.Col.Ralston replied that he could supply equipment only as fast as Canadian industry could produce it and defended the training system as approved by British army authorities.\u201cWe must walk before we can run,\u201d said the Minister.\u201cThe training being done is basic training which must, be given before the higher training in large formations is given.\u201d The Minister said he had made many changes at defence headquarters and would make more rather than have \u201csquare pegs in round holes.\u201d He said the present Chief of the General Staff, Maj.-Gen.H.D.G.Crerar, was recommended for the post by Lt.-Gen.A.G.L.McNaugh-ton, commander of the Canadian Corps overseas and himself a former Chief of the General Staff.He expressed complete confidence in Gen.Crerar and other officers at headquarters.The debate took place on defence estimates as the House sat to midnight for the second night in succession in an effort to conclude its business this week.During the long sitting the House approved estimates of the Departments of Finance, Trade and Commerce, Secretary of State and National Revenue.Labor Department estimates were considered for a time but not completed.These gave Angus Maclnnis, (C.C.F., Vancouver East), a chance to protest at a telegram sent the Government by the Canadian Manufacturers\u2019 Association urging action to deal with the labor situation.Labor Minister McLarty said it was not his conception of the duties of the Labor Department to deal with subversive activity or to enforce the law.\u201cWe' are there to provide fair wages and to conciliate disputes, but it is not and never can be the function of the Labor Department to act as a police force,\u201d he said.The House adopted Prime Minister Mackenzie King\u2019s motion to adjourn when present business is completed until November 3, subject to an earlier call if the public interest requires it.Mr.King said it was not likely the St.Lawrence waterways agreement would pass the United States Congress until well on in the summer but if it passed earlier it might be desirable to recall Parliament to deal with it.Conservative House Leader Hanson left Ottawa for his home at Fredericton, lending weight to belief the House might complete its business today.The Cockeram-Ralston exchange was the second of the session.A few weeks ago Maj.Cockeram voiced a protest against a letter sent him by the Minister aboüt a speech the officer made at a political meeting.The Minister said in the letter that speech contained criticism of army policy which, under King\u2019s Regulations and Orders, an officer was not entitled to make in public.Maj.Cockeram said the training received by his unit since its mobilization in the 4th Division did not compare with the training given troops in 1914 and 1915.He said the division\u2019s artillery had been sent to the armored division and as yet there was no divisional commander or headquarters staff.\"I suppose the Government has not yet decided to whom it will give that political plum,\u201d he said, \u201cbut there isn\u2019t any question we are entitled to know who is going to command us on active service.\u201d He said his unit\u2019s establishment was fifty Bren guns but it had only twelve, and he spoke of other shortages in equipment.The member said also that he thought all jobs at National Defence headquarters and miltary district headquarters should be filled by men who saw service in the First Great War.With available equipment, he charged, Canada would have been \u201clicked\u201d had the German battleship Bismarck and its escort vessel, the Prince Eugen, landed.the extra men they had on board when they were out in mid-Atlantic.\u201cI think it is time the Militia Department came to life and that some system of training should be conceived and the bottleneck that is at headquarters should be removed,\u201d he declared.Col.Ralston said Canada's overseas commitments for this year were the 3rd division, the army tank brigade and the armored division.These formations had first call on equipment.Training was being carried on under the \u201ctraining centre\u201d system which was the only one that could give results.Instead of organizing a unit and starting it out with officers and men all inexperienced, the personnel was trained first at centres.There was still a shortage of equipment but the situation was improving.He assured Maj.Cockeram the Irish Regiment would get its DEMONSTRATION IN C0ATIC00K | FOR WAR LOAN Thousands Attended Rally Held Last Night to Encourage Subscriptions to 1941 I Victory Loan.i Coaticook, June 20.\u2014Planned to ; encourage subscription to the Vic-! tory Loan by residents of Coaticook ] and vicinity, an enthusiastic rally ! participated in and attended by i thousands of people was held here ] last night.Featuring the evening\u2019s programme was a mammoth parade, a meeting in the Rivoli Theatre and the burning of the effigies of Hitler and Mussolini.I The parade, which left the j Theatre at seven-thirty o\u2019clock, was ; comprised of veterans of the war ! of 1914-18, troops from Sherbrooke, j the Coaticook Battery, the Coati-| cook Band, detachments from local ] Catholic schools, Boy Scouts and jUubs, and decorated automobiles, | trucks and bicycles.I I nthe theatre a number of war ! films were shown as well as several j showing the different uses to which the money raised in the Victory Loan drive will be put.Louis St.Laurent, K.C., Joint Provincial Chairman of the campaign, made an impassioned plea for greater sup-j port of the campaign in this area, then, following the showing of a feature picture, C.A.Gallagher, district organizer, spoke to the large crowd, telling how much it costs to equip the individual soldier.Mr.Gallagher reminded his listeners that they were only about fifteen hours\u2019 flying time distant from the enemy, stressed the great cost of machines and ammunition and said that the best opportunity for Canadians to serve their'country at the present time lies in subscription to the Victory Loan.Mayor J.H.Peloquin, speaking in French, also urged the people of Coaticook to subscribe freely to the drive.Dr.W.L.Shurtleff, K.C., said it is up to Canadians to push the loan over the top without delay.\u201cWe owe it to our Government, we owe it to our soldiers and we owe it to ourselves,\u201d Dr.Shurtleff said.\u201cIt is our Government, they are our soldiers and it is our war.\u201d Lieut.Rousseau, of Sherbrooke, issued an appeal for recruits for the armed forces, and pointed out that a recruiting office will be opened in Coaticook in the near future.A $5{) Victory Bond, given by ten of the leading business men of Coaticook, was drawn for, and was won by Mrs.W.Dionne, after which the burning of Europe\u2019s bloodthirsty dictators brought the rally to k close.SLOWER FOR SAVING It has been estimated that, under average conditions, you can get th* most

it is more than twice the combined British and American output of merchant ships today.\u201d The Nazi leaflets did not add what the President said the United States, together with Britain, was doing and would do to overcome this menace loj ] marilime freedom.Neither did they quote Mr.Roosevelt\u2019s promise in Washington yesterday that \u201cwe will help Britain to outstrip the Axis powers in munitions of war, and we will see to it that these munitions get to the places where they can be effectively used to weaken and defeat the aggressors.\u201d Among the problems now being dealt with by-Washington is that of getting supplies to the British forces in the Middle East, which has been complicated by the increasing activities of Axis submarines in the Middle Atlantic, between South America and West Africa, through which ships bound for the Cape and the Red Sea must pass.Averell Harriman, in charge of co-ordinating supplies from the United States, lias gone to Egypt to deal on the spot with problems arising at that end of the supply line.At the other end careful study is being given to the case of the United States steamship Robin Moor, reported torpedoed while en route to South Africa.As President Roosevelt lias affirmed the determination of the United States to see that its ships retain the right to sail the oceans unmolested, the case may have profound repercussions.In the meantime Washington has asked the public to reserve judgment on the case until Ihe full facts are ascertained.FROM THE PEN OF E.T.WRITERS TWO CANADIANS HONORED The honors bestowed by His Majesty upon two Canadians, former Prime Minister B.B.Bennett, and High Commissioner Vincent Massey, indicates the important place which these two men have built for themselves in the war effort in the Old Land.Viscount Bennett, who now takes a seat in the House of Lords, lias played an active part in the aerial rearmament of Great Britain being one of the chief lieutenants of Lord Beaverbrook in the Ministry of Aircraft Production, while he has also held many other important positions in connection with the volunteer effort, perhaps one of the most important being the Chairmanship of the London Branch of the Canadian Red Cross Society.Rt.Hon.Vincent Massey has been carrying on an important task, i.e., that of acting as liaison officer between Canada and the other sections of the Commonwealth represented in London, with a great degree of success.The work inis been difficult and at many times misunderstood, but this has not deterred him in his efforts, and judging from the honors accorded him, the gravity of the task has been fully appreciated by the British authorities.PRAYER There\u2019s a sound of bagpipes playing And the martial beat of a drur.Up through the crowded city I see the soldiers come.«\u2022These are the heart of the nation, Stalwart and brave and true, Fighting for Britain\u2019s honor, Striving to see her through.Somewhere in that great army Is one that my heart holds
