LONDON. â€" Responsible Allied sources received information today that Germany has thrown thirtyâ€" four fresh divisions into the war with Russia in the last two weeks, roughly 500,000 troops, drawn from occupied countries and the Reich. diterranean Fleet in a week of vioâ€" lent action just ended has smashed repeated Axis efforts to reinforce Italian Libya, sinking or damagâ€" ing more than a score of warships and convoyed vessels, according to official count.

The alarm was in force for three hours. The Russians said the damage was slight. It was the first operation by Canâ€" adian troops outside Britain in more than a year. The Allied formation, which was under the command of a Canadian officer, struck swiftly and secretly against the island, only 750 miles from the North Pole.

THE WORLD‘S WEEK The antiâ€"British spleen of Col. Robert Mcâ€" Cormick‘s Chicago Tribune, backed up with equal vileness by his New York Daily News, is pretty notorious. It is to be doubted whether these two newspapers have ever given a better example of their malice and genius for distortion than in their comments on the meeting between Mr. Churchill and Mr. Roosevelt: FOREMOST AUTHORITY ON CHINESE The first incumbent of the Chair of Chinese is Bishop W. C. White, foremost authority in Canada on Chinese civilization. No man is better fitted to head the new Department of Chinese Studies. Rt. Rev. William Charles White spent thirtyâ€"eight years in China and was for twentyâ€"five years Anglican Bishop of Honan. For his valuable services on !‘unine‘ Relief and other Commissions he was honoured by the last Emperor of China, and four of the luoeeedin‘j Presidents of the Republic,, with _many Orders and Decorations. It is said that he shaved his head and wore a pigtail when he went to China so as to make himself an intimate of the Chinese. More recently he has been Associate Proessor of Chinese Archaeâ€" ology in the University of Toronto, Keeper of the East Asiatic Collection and Assistant Diretcor of the Royal Ontario Museum of Archaeology. White and Dr. J. C. Ferguson, who had worked for nearly fifty years in Chinese literature and educaâ€" tional activities, obtained it for the Museum. The reputation which the Chinese Collection holds was emphasized last week when the Duke of Kent asked to visit it and was accompanied on the tour by Dr. C. T. Currelly, director o the Royal Ontario Museum nngand.wdb.hminn:hdhhntmd the ‘Classics, the Historics, the Philosophers and the Collections. It belonged originally to Professor H.

Sir ‘"Mr. Roosevelt‘s dangerous ambition always to do what no other President ever did and to be the man who shakes the world led him to meet Mr. Churchill. There he, the head of a nation which is not at war, and the head of an Empire which is at war, signed their names . . . as if both FRIDAY & SATURDAY "It appears that Mr. Roosevelt, who suggested the meeting, has sold Mr. Churchill on the ‘four freedoms‘â€"but with a notable omission.

School were in the air, but the Avro Ansons of the Observer School were being called home from the wireless room. Perhaps that wasn‘t entirely a disâ€" advantage. Mr. Woollett was able to spare hours to the visiting newsâ€" paper man, and when he had to keep another appointment, Duty‘ Pilot Smuck acted as guide. \ i At the Malton School, he learns to navigate. Everything else is subordinate to that. He does not have to worry about piloting the plane: that is done by an experâ€" ienced pilot who knows Ontario as you know your own home. The Observer charts the course for ‘him to steer and the Pilot carries out those instructions to the letter, unless they may result in possible danger to the aircraft and the crew. Apart from that, he follows the course the student gives him,, even if he knows it is at right angles to the direction in which he ought to be going. At the end of each trip, he hands in a detailed report. It omits nothing, even notâ€" ing whether the student became sick, and whether he carried out his exercises in spite of his sick-‘ ness. A Rainy Day At Maiton It was raining when I arrived at Malton, bgt a fsw planes were up. The Air Observer must learn several things, and all of them must be done well. Rather, they must be done perfectly. He must learn to lay out an exact course, in spite of wind and weather, that will take him where he is ordered to go. More important, he must return again and know when he gets home. He must learn to operâ€" ate a tricky bombsight, so that his bombs find their target. And he must learn to use a machine gun if need be. Sometimes, those who start the course as Pilots and fail to make the grade are shifted to the Obâ€" server‘s course. At first, they are disappointed, but Mr. Woollett says that invariably they are all glad they changed before they have halfâ€"finished their course. A Specialized Job The course lasts twelve weeks. A new class comes in every month and another graduates, but there are always three distinct classes at the school at one time. The eduâ€" cational requirements for an Obâ€" server are higher than for a Pilot. The course is stiffer and entails more hard work, though it unâ€" doubtedly has its share of thrills, even in Canada.
