CANADIMi VILLAGES TO HAVE SOUVENIRS Proposal to Distribute Captured War Trophies Throughout Dpminion. A despatch from Ottawa says: â€" Tne Commission on Canadian War Records and Trophies have made a report to the Government which con- tailned recommendations as to the col- lection and handling of trophies cap- tured by the Canadians during the war. "The trophies captured by Cana- dians form a most interesting and practically an invaluable collection," said General Cruiksl^nk. "They include practically everything from huge German guns of the heav- iest ty;)e to badges and records. Soma of these trophies have already reach- ed Ottawa and an stored here. Ther« â- will be several shiploads in all, judg- ing from the infonnation we have re- ceived so far." "What disposition will be made ol them?" "Sufficient will be reserved to make an adequate and representative dis- play in the Imperial War Museum to be established in London. I should then say that of the articles brought to Canada, a complete collection should be retained in the war museum to be established in Ottawa. It is not expected that the trophies will bo ex- hausted by the collections in Ottawa and London. On the contrary', there will be enough left to give practically every city, town and village in the country a war souvenir of some sort. Applications for these have already been received from hundreds of towns and the requests run the entire range. How those wiH be dealt with has not been decided, but it is understood the commission will recommend that an advisory commi'.teo with one member frcm each province shall be appointed to pass uDon the jiDolications, and tho provincial representative's reccmmen- dation will be taken as to the distri* bution of tho trophies."
