A large frontal attack on the jGerman-controlled coasts of Belgium and France, striking across ithe English Channel, was considered.The more it was studied, the more it became apparent, Mr.Roose-jvelt said that physical limitations I would make such a stroke impossible jbefore mid-1943.At one point, the Chief Executive jindicated that the raid on Dieppe, I as well as other actions throughout i the world, had a bearing on the ; plans for the American attack in ! Africa.He did not explain how they ! fitted into the picture, however, i When Mr.Churchill came to I Washington again late in May, the i President said, they weighed a large-scale offensive for 1943 jagainst a smaller one for 1942 ; which would present fewer difficulties as regards men, muntions land ships.By the end of June there was general agreement on the African 'venture, and by late July_ certain fundamentals had been decided on, j such as points to hit, the numbers j of men needed, and the quantities i Continued on page 2, coL 2.Cadomin, Alta., Nov.11.-\u2014\u20ac¥)\u2014Two coal miners died from gas poisoning and two others were overcome before being pulle-d to safety following a \u201cbump\u201d in the workings of No.9 panel of the Cadomin mine yesterday.Dead are: Fireboss Robert Muir, well known Alberta curler, and Timberman Charles Swanson.Cadomin is about 200 miles West of Edmonton.Gen.Bernard Law Montgomery, Commander of the 8th Army, who has been knighted by King George and promoted from Lieutenant-General to a full General.He received \u201cpromotion within the Most Honorable Order of the Bath for distinguished services in the field\u201d and was made a Knight Commander.Gen.Montgomery won his spurs in World War I.when he was twice wounded, won two medals and was mentioned six times in dispatches.He personally supervised getting his men off the beach at Dunkirk, smashed Rommel\u2019s attempt to break through the desert lines in September and has now won the decisive battle in Egypt.Vancouver, Nov.11.\u2014 (ffl \u2014Vancouver bus line operators today received orders from the Regional Transit Controller restricting move-r ent of passengers from Vancouver to interior points, beginning next Monday.Complete Occupation Of French Northwest Africa Nears As Casablanca Asks Armistice NEW RECORD IS REGISTERED BY VICTORY LOAN Cumulative Total of Subscriptions to Canada\u2019s Third Victory Loan Has Reached $971,837,900.Ottawa, Nov, 11.\u2014The cumulative total of subscriptions (o Canada\u2019s Third Victory Loan today reached $971,837,900\u2014more thaii $220,000,000 above the minimum objective of the campaign- -it was announced by National Loan headquarters.Today\u2019s figure was roughly $20,-000,000 higher than the last previous cumulative total announced Sunday night, and returns are not yet complete.\u201cIt is unlikely that the final and proved total will be known before mid-December,\u201d today\u2019s statement from Loan Headquarters said.\u201cReturns have yet to come in Continued on page 2.column 6.Declares Invasion Of France Impossible At Present Stage Of War Prime Minister, in Reviewing African and French Developments Before British House of Commons, Declares that Mediterreanean Action Is But Precedent to Full-Scale Attack on Europe Proper.\t- \u2014\u2014 -\u2014\u2014 -^ London, Nov.II.® \u201cAn at- ittck will bo mado in due coursa LF.GENTILHOMME NAMED HIGH COMMISSIONER FOR MADAGASCAR London, Nov.11.\u2014((P)\u2014Gen.Paul Le Gentilhomme, Commis-*ionpi- for War on Gen.Charles de Gaulle\u2019» Fighting French National Committee, ha» been appointed High Commissioner for Madagascar, it was announced la»t night.He will leave for hi» new po«t shortly.Wider Indian Co-Operation In Defence Efforts Urged Speech from Throne at Opening of British Parliament Expresses Hope Wiser Councils Will Prevail Among Indian Leaders\u2014Extent of Allied Victories in Africa Stressed by His Majesty.MANY ARRESTS CLAIMED IN LISBON AS RESULT OF ANTI-NAZI RIOTS NO CEREMONIES FOR ARMISTICE DAY IN LONDON King George and Queen Elizabeth Paid Quiet Visit to Cenotaph After Cancelling Services.London, Nov, 11.-\u2014® \u2014 BritonA generally let Armistice Day pass unobserved, but for the Fighting French it was a day of new pain and new hope.\t¦ i The King cancelled the usual ser-; vices at the Cenotaph but went inj person, accompanied by the Queen,; to lay a wreath of poppies at the| Cenotaph.He observed the two!

Bizerte in Tunisia is the best and largest naval base in French North Africa and is about forty miles from Tunis, the capital.The Tunisian coast is about 130 miles from Sicily, the shortest distance between French North Africa and Italy.There was no official information here as to the movements of the Vichy fleet but a dispatch datelined \u201cAt the French Frontier\u201d said that advices from Vichy declared unconfirmed reports were circulating there that the fleet had left Toulon and was believed to be somewhere off Corsica en route to join forces with the United Nations.The German radio broadcast that American troops began an attack upon Tunis this morning, but this possibly was part of the German effort to justify the Axis move into the French protectorate.It was announced that Lt.-Gen.Kenneth Anderson is commanding British troops, the vanguard of the several divisions sent to North Africa to reinforce the Americans, and that Air Marshal Sir William Welsh is commanding the R, A.F.in that area, French naval forces which had comprised the backbone of resistance at Casablanca was practically wiped out before the commander there ¦sought an armistice, and British observers believed that an armistice for the entire area of Morocco and Algeria would follow speedily.Hitler\u2019s move into Tunisia, aimed as a counterstroke to the American and British North African occupa- Continued on pa?e2.column 3 London, November 11.©\u2014A broadcast by the German-controlled Pari» radio »aid today that a thousand arrests bad been made in Lisbon in suppression of what the announcer called a \u201cCommunist revolt\u201d in the Portuguese Capital.\u201cCommunists were trained to subvert military discipline to prepare a situation which would be favorable in the advent of British and American invasion,\u201d be said.The Germans use the label \u201cCommunist\u201d to 'describe any European elements opposed to Nazism.HOME TOWN IN WARM WELCOME FOR AIR HERO Thousands Attend Celebration in Verdun to Mark Return of P0.George Beurling from Malta.- London, Nov, 11.\u20144P)\u2014The King I today opened the new session of Parliament, reading the Speech from the Throne in which it was stated that \u201cthe brilliant victory in the Western Desert and the great opération forestalling the attack of our enemies on French territories in North Africa are notable steps toward victory.\u201d Convocation of the new session\u2014 the eighth of the present Parliament \u2014permitted the disclosure that the previous session had been prorogued yesterday with the traditional summation of the year's activities.On that occasion the Lord Chancellor, Viscount Simon, read the Speech from the Throne.Today the King appeared in person before the assembled Peers and Commoners.\u201cIn this fourth year of the war my people look forward with un-1 shakenbie courage,\u201d today\u2019s speech i declared.\u201cThey are determined to fight on to complete victory with no thought of parley.\u201cWhatever the future may hold I know they will respond wholeheartedly to every new demand made on them.\u201d The Speech declared that the gov-i ernments of the United Nations are ; in consultation \u201cin preparation for the urgent needs which will arise when the victims of oppression regain their freedom.\u201d The desire of the United Kingdom Government to \u201craise the standards and improve the conditions of my peoples in the colonies, who are play- i WAR BULLETINS Rome, (from Italian broadcasts)\u2014The Rome radio said today Italian troops crossed the French border this morning to \u201cassure the defence of the French coast.\u201d * » * « * Stockholm\u2014The Swedish newspaper Allehanda reported from an undisclosed source today that Germany and Vichy France had signed a peace pact.(This report received no confirmation from any source.) * * * « * London \u2014 The Vichy radio was beard by Reuters today to quote a dispatch from La Linea to the effect several thousand \u201cBritish, American and Canadian\u201d troops now are at Gibraltar.(There was no confirmation of the report.)
