No new burglaries were reported in Waterbury during the night follow ing the series of weekend "break" in which $2.100 in cash and jewelry was taken from two homes entered.
 Captain Joseph P. Stevens, chief inspector of the detective bureau has requested the public to cooperate with the public and to communicate with the police if they observe sus- picious persons about their resi- dences or places of business. The failure of citizens to put register such complaints in the past has been indirectly responsible for several robberies. Due to the influx of strangers the police are finding 1t difficult to keep under surveillance all suspicious persons.
 Inspector Stevens pointed to recent case where a room in a hotel was entered and some belonging taken as one where cooperation by a guest in the hotel could have pre- vented the burglary.
 A pTowler was seen tampering with q lock on his room and when the guest appeared the man vanished down the hallway. Some time later,

 Canada had called in many of her veterans of the Great War for various duties in Canada: old timers now too old for active service ovrseas, but keen as ever to do their bit.
 One of these, on duty at the vic- toria Bridge, didn't like the looks of @ man who arrived ct the toll gate. He asked him for his regiStra- ton card.
 The pedestrian had none, SO the old soldier called in the Mounties, who soon identified him as Lorentz. Incidentally, the kind-hearted mo- torist, sympathetic with Norway, had loaned the alleged Norwegian S2.50 to help him on his way.

Their comfortable lot is guaran- teed under the 1929 Geneva Prison- CTS of War Convention ratified by the Dominion of Canada in 1885, They are known as Prisoners of War Glass 1, to distinguish them from Glass 2, who are interned for sub- versive activities and SO forth. There is the third class, refugees from enemy countries, suspected because of their origin and the circum- stances surrounding their arrival in Britain. Many of these are later released and many 90 back to Brit ain to do non-combatant war work.
 The Glass 1 prisoners in Canada were sent out from Britain trans ported under British guard. Arriv- tng on Canadian shores, they are taken over by the Canadian army, acting as guards and cuStodians for the secretary of state who is custodian of war prisoners and enemy aliens.
 SWITZERLAND IS
 THE PROTECTING POWER
 Germany holds far more British prisoners than Britain does Ger manS. As Germany treats her Britt ish prisoners on the same basis as Canada (for Britain) treats German prisoners, the captives in Canada have an enviable lot, Their pay goes on. and in every respect their own country treats them aS though still on active service.
 Germany may be short of cloth- ing but her army is not, and least of all her prisoners of war in other countries. Whether 1t be propa- ganda to convince other countries there is no shortage of clothing or whether the German army has c monopoly of the good fabrics is not known, but the uniforms sent over by Germany for the prisoners of war are of first class material and excellent cut, especially for the German officer prisoners.
 k The guardian angel of the Pris- oner of War is the Protecting Power. In this case Switzerland is the pro- tecting power and Swiss representa- ttves visit the camps, make inspec- tiona. talk with the prisoners and in every way keep track of their treatment. They report to their own authorities, and thence to Germany, tho condition of the prison camps, the food given, the treatment ac- cordad and everything else pertain ing to the prisoners welfare.
 Prisoners must conform to the uaYy, army and air regulations of the Canadian navy, army and air force and follow the service rouitnes in the matter of discipline. They may be disciplined or punished in accordance with these regulations with the exception that no German offlceg or N,C.O. may be deprived of his rank or reduced in rank. They can wear their rink badges and must salute all higher ranks.
 Freedom of religion for war pris. oners is strictly observed in Canada, where religious freedom is basic in the constitution.

LOAN CRAWFORD IN "D|FFERENT"
 ROLE AT CAPITOL
Susan and God" Has Last Showing on Local
 Screen Tonight

Rachel Brothers stage hit, Susan and God which ran for eight months on Broadway before being taken on the road, emerges as an even greater hit in it's screen form The picture. co-starring Joan CraW- ford and Fredric March, ends to- night at the Capitol Theatre.
 As the rattlebrained and self centered Susan who adopts new social movement as fad and tries to convert all her friends to it, only to see them antagonized and her own life develop into a seem- ingly hopeless tangle, Jean Craw- ford attains dramatic assurance which her most devoted fans could have scarcely envisioned. Her per- formance gives her new niche in filmdom. And as the inebriate husband, Barrie, who wins the final victory with himself and Susan, Ffedric March makes brilliant return to the screen which he tem- porarily deserted to star in the stage hit, The American Way"

COMMUNICATION


 Editor, Daily Alaska Empire, Dear Sir:
 As to the Daily Alaska Empire $ news items, concerning the All Alaska Labor Convention being held in Union Hall, Juneau, the con- vention went on record as being opposed to the Selective Service Act and the Lease-Lend Bill.
 It is the prerogative of the convention to vote as it sees fit, but the convention certainly does rot represent the political views of the individual working man, es- pecially among the Alaska Juneau employees.
 Juneau Mine and Mill Workers Union, Local 203, is represented at this convention by several delegates, led by Walluf Rasmussen, and John Covich. It is reported these dele gates, along with all the other dele oates at the convention voted for the resolutions mentioned AS q result, the Alaska Juneau em- ployees are on record as being opposed to the Selective Service Act and the Lease-Lend Bill, be- cause Local 203 is the recognized bargaining agency for the A-J workers.
 There are several hundred em- ployees of the Al who are not members of Local 203. We know from conversations held with in dividuals and groups, over 90 per cent of these non members are in
