British
Election
Result
.
.
.
This
is
the
week
when
the
United
Kingdom
learns
what
government
it
chose
in
the
general
elections
on
.
July
3,
announcement
of
which
is
delayed
until
this
Thursday
to
permit
counting
arrangements
of
the
soldiers'
vote
to
be
carried
out
at
the
same
time.
Meantime,
it
is
all
a
matter
of
suspense
although
the
guess
heard
most
often
is
that
Churchill's
government
will
receive
re-election
by.
a
narrow
margin.
However,
it
is
generally
conceded
that
Labor
and
Liberal
parties
will
gain
many
seats
in
the
first
general
election
since
1035.
There
are
some
even
who
are
willing
to
bet
on
a
Labor
victory.
One
thing
is
certain,
whatever
I
government
gets
into
power
will
face
i
a
barrage
of
questions
when
the
new
!
Parliament
meets
on
August
8.
There
i
willbe
questions
on
such
varied
sub-
'
jects
as
demobilization,
labor
supply
i
for
civilian
industry,
rehousing
of
j
the
nation
and
abolition
of
queues.
;
.The
next
government
of
England
is
:
.
fiom
to
have
an
interesting
time
and
--..l,
it
.will
have
to
know
the
answers
if
t
it
is
going
to
fare
very
well.

I
Interesting
information
has
come
to
light
to
the
effect
that
no
definite
I
offer
has
been
made
by
the
federal
Z
government
to
turn
the
Prince
Ru-
L
pert
Highway
over
to
the
province.
t
It
had
been
reported
here
for
some
time
that
such
an
offer
had
been
t
made
and
that
the
provincial
gov-
Z.
;::
.;ernment
was
hesitating
about
taking
it
over.

It
is
the
federal
govern
pure
wool
kTrsuey
COATS
and
JACKETS
ment
with
which
we
still
have
to
deal
and
which
we
may
rightfully
expect
to
do
something
about
it
no
matter
whether
qr
not
it
is
still
regarded
as
a
military
highway.
It
is
suggested
that
the
matter
of
jurisdiction
over
such
highways
may
come
up
at
the
forthcoming
Dominion-Provincial
conference.
It
is
to
be
hoped
the
whole
matter
may
be
ironed
out
without
delay.
Daring
the
Kamikazes
.
.
.
There
are
two
ways
to
get
at
the
Japanese
air
force
and
the
Kamikaze
suicide
planes
in
particular.
One
is
to
bomb
the
factories
which
make
the
airplanes
and
strafe
the
fields
where
they
are
parked.
Another
is
to
attack
targets
which
the
enemy
cannot
afford
to
lose
and
to
present
targets
which
tempt
the
enemy
fliers
to
come
out
and
fight.
Then
pilots
and
planes
both
can
be
destroyed.
This
explains
in
large
part
the
huge
carrier-plane
strikes
at
Tokyo
and
the
risking
of
the
big
fleet
of
Allied
warships
which
steamed
up
and
down
Japan's
coast
while
the
planes
are
at
work.
It
is
daring
and
hazardous
business.
But
it
is
one
thing
for
a
fleet
thus
to
invite
enemy
attack
while
in
battle
formation,
able
to
maneuver,
with
crews
expectant
and
alert,
and
quite
another
to
sustain
such
attack
in
a
landing
operation
when
transports,
landing
craft,
and
protecting
warships
are
in
effect
nnned
to
the
beaches.
The
Kamikaze
peril,
at
the
very
least,
must
)e
radically
reduced,
and
this
is
one
way
to
go
about
it.
Apparently
the
Japanese
will
not
come
out
this
time
and
will
take
losses
in
anything
but
planes
and
pilots
in
the
air.
Their
air
force
must
be
conserved
for
top
emergencies
only.
It
can
fight
for
only
a
few
vital
targets,
and
not
for
these
every
time.
Announcement
of
the
names
of
ships
and
flag
officers
is
less
part
of
the
dare
to
the
enemy
than
it
is
evidence
of
a
new
Allied
navy
policy.
Hereafter
the
public
will
be
hearing
of
ships
and
their
commanders
just
as
it
has
become
used
to
news
of
Army
divisions
and
their
generals.

Irish
Regiment
of

from

to

and
approximately
14
Panther
tanks
and
self-propelled
guns
The
regiment,
under

of
Lieut.

pushed
steadily
forward.
and
although
their
front
was
narrow,
limiting
power
of
manoeuvre,
drove
the
Germans
back
to
the
Bonlfico
Canal.
The
main
bridge
across
the
Boniflco
was
blown
just
ahead
of
them
and
Lieut,
Col.

by

quickly
moving
a

to
the
right,
captured
another
bridge
Intact
defended
by
approximately
50
Germans
and
two

He
then
moved
his
entire
regiment
across
and
personally
went
forward
to
the
leading
squadron
under
shell
and
mortar
fire
to
ensure
that
the
position
was
adequately
organized
to
defeat
any
counter
attack.
The
crossing
by
the
regiment
caused
great
confusion
among
the
Germans,
forcing
them
to
withdraw
from
the
south
side
of
Lake

and
the
town
of
Santh

The
regiment
then
advanced
to
the

and
the
mouth
of
the
Reno
river
over
difficult
tank
country,
rapidly
pushing
back
the
Germans

and
capturing

completely
surprised
the
enemy
and
the
2,500
yard
run
to
the
bridge
was
successful.
As
the
leading
troop
approached
the
bridge
two
anti-tank
guns,
sited
to
coyer
the
approaches,
opened
fire
but
were
quickly
silenced.
Under
heavy
small
arms
fire
Major
Sellars
dismounted
from
his
tank,
ran
to
the
bridge,
located
and
cut
the
leads
and
removed
all
the
detonators
he
could
find.
By
this
time
his
two
troop
commanders
had'eome
forward
and
leaving
them
to
finish
neutralizing
'demolition
charges,
this
gallant
officer
ran
to
the
far
side
of
the
bridge
and
commenced
neutralizing
the
charges
there.
Small
arms
fire
was
continuous
and
at
this
time
heavy
mortar
fire
also
was
brought
down
on
the
party.

to
return

Sellars
remained
at

he
'had
completed
his
task
In

the
intensity
of

When
he
returned
to
his
tank
his
clothing
had
been
torn

he
escaped

a
half
hours

neutralized

reports
that
since
V-E

at
least
100
Canadians,
have
taken
British

Worse
still,
the
report
continues
by
saying
repatriation

are
aiding
and
abetting
Canadians
"In
committing

These
depots
"do

an

ing
"If

to

and
It's
humanly

It
sounds

a

in
view
of
the
fact
that
before

some
30,000
Canadians
