Premier Drew stressed this point in making his announcement, and it was given added strength In a lively but goodâ€"humored exchange with Gordon Graydon, Progressive _ Conservative House leader, Mr. King twitted the Oppoâ€" sition with receiving the announceâ€" ment with gloomy faces while Mr. Graydon declared they received it with delight. â€" _ First in Five Years It will be Canada‘s first general clection in five years and will be the first time that Mr. King in 18 years of office has allowed a Parâ€" liament to run its full constitutionâ€" al fiveâ€"year term.

One dispatch reported a sharp battle along a "swiftâ€"flowing deep river" to keep reinforcements moving into an unspecified brigdeâ€" head. The Oder River east of Berâ€" lin would answer that description. LONDON.â€"The Germans said tonight that nine Russian armies totalling 2,500.000 men wer hamâ€" mering into Berlin‘s castern apâ€" proaches and that other powerful Soviet forces had driven flanking wedges across the Oder and Neisse rivers north and south of the capiâ€" tal on a 200â€"mile front between Czechoslovakia and the Baltic.
