The
namaof
the
new
British
battle-ship
launchedpy
Princess
Elizabeth
is
likely
to
beik'ept
secret
until
there
is
clear
evidence,
that
the
enemy
has
discovered
heri.iflentity.
Tjiis
is
a
more
stringent
precaution
than:
was
taken
in
the
case
of
the
ships
of
the
'King
George
V
class,
whose
names
weitf
witheld
only
until
they
were
in
full
commission.
The
reason
for
tin's
special
secrecy
is
that
the
new
ship
is
the
first
of
a
new
class.
Whether
she
is
one
of
the
two
battleships
projected
before
the
war
the
'Temeraire'
and
;the
'Lion'
or
something
entirely
new,;
born
of(
war-won
knowledge,
is
information
that
the
enemy-would
like
to
know.
If
the
naniq
of
the
ship
were
known,
the
enemy
might
be
able
to
link
up
odds
and
'ends
of
intelligence
in
his
possession
;with
his
knowledge
of
the
pre-war
projects;
thereby
he
might
arrive
at
some
very
useful
clues
about
British
naval
ships
and
British
naval
plans
for
the
future.
For
example,
if
the
ship
were
one
of
.the
'Temeraire'
class,
he
might
be
able
to
conclude
that
there
was;
only
one
other
battleship
(the
'Lion')
on
the
ways;
if
he
discovered
it
was
an
entirely
different
class,
he
might
then
deduce
that
both
the
'Ter-erafre'
and
'Lion'
were
under
con-strujction.

TWO
Japanese
Offensive
in
China
.
.
.
The
Japanese
have
been
mounting
an
offensive
from
Liuchow
along
the
railway
leading
to
Tuyun,
which
is
a
terminus
town.
Tuyun
is
important,
since
it
is
only
about
sixty
to
seventy
miles
from
the
town
of
Kweiyang
on
the
Burma
Road
to
Chungking.
The
Chinese
have
recently.
cjainied;
that
the
enemy
have
been
defeated
in
the
Tuyun
area,
and
driven
back,
but
this
may
not
mean
anything
like
the
end
of
the
threat.
The
standard
Japanese
tactics
are
to
send
a
light
screen
of
harassing
troops
in
front
of
their
main
body,
thus
bypassing
all
strong
points
and
disorganizing
any
Chinese
attempt
to
bring
up
reinforcements
on
the
other
hand
these
light
forces
make
np
attempt
to-
deal
Avith
any
major
Chinese
force.
What
probably
han-pened
is
that
the
light
advance
reached
Tuyun
where
it
outran
its
powers
of
endurance
and
supplies,
and
was
withdrawn
very
probably
without
any
serious
contact
at
all
with
the
Chinese
forces.
The
advance
of
the
main
body
can
not
be
now
expected
to
be
resumed
until
the
supplies
can
be
brought
up
and
a
fresh
screen
sent
ahead.
One
of
the
reasons,
it
is
suggested,
why
the
advance
was
brought
to
a
halt
was
that
the
troops
concerned
were
still
in
their
summer
uniforms
and
found
the
increasing
cold
mb're
than
even
their
powers
of
resistance
could
stand
towards
the
end
of
a
long
and
strenuous
march.
Looking
at
the
general
picture,
the
threat
to
Kweiyane
is
not
immiatob'
important
because
it
cuts
the
Burma
Road,
since
the
Burma
Road
is
out
of
action.
On
the
other
hand
the
loss
of
Kweiyang
would
largely
nullify
anv
successes
the
Burma
camwuo-n
had
in
opening
the
road
for
supplies;
a
long
detour
would
have
to
be
made
under
difficult
and
mountainous
country
from
Kunming
via
Chengtu

Mayor
H.
M.
Daggett,
speaking
at
the
regular
weekly
luncheon
of)
the
Prince
Rupert
Oyro
Club
yeiiterday,
announced
that
he
proposed
to
recommend
to
the
first
meeting
of
the
1945
city
council
that
proceeds
from
the
sale
of
tax
property,
which
Is
now
going
into
general
revenue
fund
and
used
for
municipal
operating
expenses,
be
placed
in
a
reserve
fund
to
be
used
for
the
building
of
schools
and
such
projects.
His
Worship
said
he
was
opposed
to
the
policy
of
depIeUng
assets
to
pay
running
costs
of
the
city.
Another
proposal
that
the
mayor
revealed
it
was
his
intention
to
bring
up
next
year
was
the
organization
of
a
community
chet
In
which
various
.
organizations
would
be
Invited
to
participate.
"Tag
day
after
tag
day
are
becoming
a
nlus-ance,"
the
mayor
declared.
,
The
site
of
an
auto
camp
was
something
else
that
would
have
to
be
considered
in
the
coming
year
what
with
the
recent
opening
of
the
Prince
Rupert
highway,
the
mayor
felt
Sneaking
generally
of
future
municipal
development,
the
mayor
said
"we
may
look
for
the
best
but
must
prepare
for
the
worst.
We
must
conserve
our
revenue
but
we
must
also
maintain
our
facilities.
'
Wm.e
no
large
schemes

be
em.
barked
upon
at
this
time,
the
city
policy
was
to
encourage
and
institute
such
projects
as
were
possible
to
fit
into
a
major
scheme.
Mr.
Daggett
stated
that
the
city
engineer
was
under
instructs
and
was
preparing
a
new
sewerage
system
scheme
for
Sec
tion
1.
The
mayor
revealed
that
lack
of
men
and
materials
had
prevented
the
city
from
carrying
out
certain
public
works
for
v
which
appropriations
had
been
made
from
available
funds
last
year.
Various
departments
of
the
federal
government
had
been
pressed
for
assistance
and
one
accomplishment
had
been
a
repair
job
on
Sixth
Avenue
E,st
which
was
a
credit
to
the
Royal
Canadian
Air
Force.
The
Army
huu
started
some
work
which
it
was
hoped
to
have
continued.
As
for
parks
and
playgrounds,
.he
city
hoped
to
be
able
to
do
much
more
this
year
than
had
been
accomplished
last
year.
He
acknowledged
the
splendid
work
that
had
been
done
through
the
year
by
the
Gyro
Club
ort
play-ar.-J
development.
He
hoped
'"'ub
would
continue
to
co-,ierat?
with
the
city.
As
soun
as
a
federal
priority
uhl
t'
obtained
for
material.?,
enders
would
be
called
and
construction
started
of
the
new
Pioneers'
Home.
A
survey
was
being
planned
by
an
outside
expert
with
a
view
to
removing
inequitabilities
and
dlsecrepeneies
in
taxation
assessments,
Mr.
Daggett
announced.
During
the
past
year
$16,000
had
been
set
aside
from
telephone
department
profits
into
a
fund
to
be
used
for
future
extensions.
It
was
expected
there
would
be
a
similar
reserve
set
!
aside
this
year.
!
While
the
city
might
have
a
'
labor
council,
the
mayor
said,
il
was
the
policy
to
have
representatives
of
all
organizations
!
and
classes
in
the
city
serve
on
I
committees.
Costs
of
education
were
rising
here,
Mr.
Daggett
said,
but
the
mill
rate
might
not
seem
too
high
at
50
when
compared
with
New
Westminster's
seventy.
Mr.
Daggett
referred
at
points
In
his
address
to
the
Union
of
British
Columbia
Muni,
cipalities
convention
at
Nelson
and
what
had
been
done
there.
Mr.
Daggett
spoke
of
the
fine
community
spirit
he
had
observed
at
Nelson
when
attend-ins
the
convention
of
the
Union
of
British
Columbia
Municipalities
there
last
year.
This
is
something
that
might
be
emulated
in
