A glance at the map will show that Odessa military district of the U.S.S.R. Is only a stone's throw from newly-Nazlfied Rumania Into which Germany has poured thousands of troops. Although Germany and the Soviet Union still live up to the letter of their trade pact, it is no accident that one of the top military men In Russia, none other than the seldom photographed deputy people's commissar of defence, Marshal S. Budenny (moustache), is keeping a watchful eye on his neighbor. With him at the observation post are Lleut.-General Gurdiumov and Battalion Commander Captain P. Pavlluchenko.

War News RALSTON IN ENGLAND LONDON Hon. J. L. Ralston, Canadian minister of national defence, has had meetings with Prime Minister Winston Churchill, Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden, Secretary of home Security Sir Archibald Sinclair, First Lord of the Admiralty A. V.. Alexander and, Minister of Aircraft Production Lord Beavcrbrook, all of whom, he said, were enthusiastic over Canada's war assistance. Col. Ralston announced that Canada in 1911 would turn out twice as many pilots as had been expected under the Commonwealth air training scheme. "The year 1941 will be one to test us all," Ralston said "but it will be one of great achievement." The same spirit of resolution to f Iht it out which he had found in Great Britain would, he was sure, .be paralleled in Canada. POPE'S MESSAGE VATICAN CITYIn a Christmas message to the College of Cardinals today, Pope Pius said that such vast changes were emerging from the crucible of war that it was evident there would have to be "something new and better" afler the war than there had been before. There would have to be reforms based on reason rather than on errors. BATTLE OF BRITAIN LONDON A Lancashire town was heavily hit by German bombers during the night with numerous casualties and damage. London had a comparatively quiet night as did the rest of England. A bomb landed on Cloister Court of the Parliament Buildings. At Portsmouth six persons were killed and others injured when a lone Nazi raider dropped heavy calibre bombs and demolished numerous houses In one of the poorer working districts. The Royal Air Force was active during the night in the Ruhr, Saar and channel invasion bases. ENGLAND AT BAY AT A CHANNEL PORT Field Marshal von Drauchitsch, German Army commander-in-chief, said today that England was completely at the mercy of Germany. The Channel would shield Great Britain only so long as it pleased Germany. AH enemies in Europe had been conquered and the only task remaining was to strike to the ground the last and most bitter foe. The great and proud day of Great Britain had gone. Last Christmas von Brauchitsch recalled he had spoken under a Christmas Tree beyond the Maginot Line which it was thought would have shielded France. ITALY TO FIGHT ON HOME The Italian government, discounts the speech of Prime Minister Winston Churchill to the people of Italy. "Italy will continue the fight with Germany," a spokesman said "until victory is won over England which now seeks a compromise peace." King Victor Emmanuel delivered a broadcast message of encouragement and appreciation to the Army. Princess Marie Jose, wife of Crown Prince Humbert, officially joined the Fascist party. SIEGE OF BARDIA CAIRO The British army ot the Nile intensified the eight-day old siege of beleaguered Bardia today, bringing up more troops and pounding defence lines with artillery In preparation for an indicated final assault on the shelUbatlered Italian stronghold. A critical water shortage is reported to be facing Bardia and the Fascist air force suddenly has come to life in a desperate effort to save the threatened base.
