'nJiSlii - wThl7 WelIEnd" '-,, .MONTREAL When the Aqui-talnla steams out of the Port of Halifax on Sunday homeward bound, she will be making her last transAtlantlc crossing as a British war transport, according to the Canadian National Railways. She will be carrying more than 700 persons, including a number of notables, world o r g a n 1 ration representatives, business and industrial leaders and a group of Canadian brides of Royal Air Force personnel going to new homes In the Unl ted Kingdom. For the first time since she went into transAtlantlc reparation service, the Aquitania did not sail direct to Halifax. On this voyage she went by way of Cherbourg, France, bringing British and Frcncrudelegates to the United Nations conference to New York where she docked last Sunday. The ship sails from New York on Thursday and will arrive at Halifax on Friday. Since the Aquitania went into srrvlro earlv in the war as a troop transport and later repa triating Canadian servicemen and their overseas wives and children, she has travelled hundreds of thousands of miles and has carried nearly as many pas sencers. Like the Queen Eliza beth and the Queen Mary, also Qunard White Star Line ships, the Aquitania played a big part In Canada's war effort. She carried thousands of troops to battle overseas when enemy submarine packs Infested the waters of the Atlantic. Travelling to Montreal from all sections of the country west of that city and from many points in the United States, the Acqultanla passengers will leave hero on Saturday on two Cann- dlan National Railways boat specials for the Atlantic port., STRIKE HITS DETROIT PAPER DETROIT O) Detroitcrs had to rely on their radios for election news early today as the Detroit Free Press, the city's only morning newspaper, missed all Its editions when mecnanicai department employees walked off their Jobs In a wage dispute. 7,000 CUSTOMERS Every second, night and day, 7,000 persons board a trackless trollev eoach. street car or bus COMMONWEALTH SOLIDARITY WORLD NEED LONDON i'O) Lord Alan Brooke, retiring chief of the Imperial general staff, said totiay that "acceptance by each mem ber of the British Common wealth of a zone of responsibil ity Is one of four fundamental defence' requirements.
