The Canadian government moved

tons" and damaging insccura.
cies" in a Time magazine account
OF riotings by German officers and
men at a Canadian military prison
camp at Bowmanville, Ont.
In Canada. one high official said
the case represented the most ser.
ious censorship incident of the war
Authorities there were seeking Il
determine the source OF the story
in question and the channels by
which il reached the magazine.
The legation here late yesterday
made representations at the state
department. There was no com
ment at the department.
INACCURACIES CHARGED
These representations have
been necessitatcd by the distor-
tons and inaccuracies In the
above report, which will not only
provide the enemy with material
for propaganda, but may also he
used by the German authorities
~ an excuse for further ILL
trea tment Of Canadian and Brit
ish prisoners OF war In their
hands" the legation said. The
Canadian government feels.
therefore, that the misleading
and damaging Inaccuracies of
this report should be corrected.
"The style and choice of ex-
pressions through the Time ar
ticle are such as to color and
distOrt the facts. Such phrases
"a bursts Of machine gun Are
and Commando tactics convey
m impression Of the use of mill
tary force. which Ii untrue and
unwarranted.
FALSEHOODs' CITED
specifically, the report con-
tains . number OF falsehoods, of
which the following are the more
important:
(a That gas was used by the
guards to overcome the resist
ance Of the prisoners. No gas,
tear gas or any other kind, was
used.
"(b) That machine guns were
used to quell the prisoners. No
machine guns whatever were
used and none Of the guards In
the camp was supplied with ball
ammunition. Only four rife
shots were fred"
"(c) That prisoners food ra-
lions were stopped. Meals were
prepared In the camp as usual
and delivered to all prisoners"

The War
Today
Holding Edge.
Reds Proving
Stain Right
BY MAJ. PAUL c. RABORG
Written Especially for international News
service and The Detroit Times

service nhu Inc IfhNN
THE STRATEGIC position
Of Russia is of great interest.
Fall storms have commenced
and the invading Nazis must
prepare for winter.
Although the Red armies
have suffered serious losses IN
men, material and territory,
none Of the Axis victories has
been decisive. The present
battle line in European Russia
is not disadvantageous 10 the
armed forces of Josef Stain.
In the far North, though
Murmansk installations have
been most seriously bombed,
it is still held. Archangel is
operating as a receiving port
for material sent in by Britain
and the United States.
IN SPITE of much desper-
ate fighting, the NaZis have
not been able 10 make a real
dent in the defenses surround
ing Leningrad. and that city
is able TO maintain the Rus
sian feet on the Baltic Sea.
All the railroads from the
North which bring lend-lease
equipment 10 Moscow and
Central Russia are operating.
The Red armies are very close
to the great communication
center of Smolensk. 1t might
easily be recaptured from the
Axis this winter. The Voro-
nezh sector on the Don River
has been the scene of a sue
cessful Red army advance.
The loss of the great pro-
ductive areas Of the Ukraine
and portions Of the Caucasus
plains cannot be minimized.
Nevertheless, the armies Of
Hitler have been unable TO
push the Soviets from the
Black Sea. They have been
stopped just south of Novo-
rossisk.
The Nazi advance in the
Caucasus has been more or
less fnger-shaped north of the
mountains toward Grozny, but
the oil in the vicinity of this
latter city is still Soviet held
as is that near Baku.
Premier Stain recently said
In effect that Russia was in
position 10 withstand and con-
tinue this war longer than
any of his Axis enemies, par
ticularly Germany.
It would appear that his
remarks are correct.

Of the Holy Family of Nazareth

Chelmno. the Jesuit Fathers. the
Redemptorist Fathers. the Ursu-
line Sisters. the Sisters of ST
Vincent de Paul and many others

tons seized.
Twenty of the st. Vincent de
Paul Sisters were killed by Ger
man bombs. Some of their insti-
tutions were turned into gaming
halls and stables. The Francis
can nuns and the Servants OF
Mary were driven from their
homes for orphans.
The Banifratres were driven out
OF the hospital in Katowice. The
Sisters Of Mercy were expelled
from many places.

AXIS FORCE POWERFUL

Although Rommel has lost many
ships and reinforcements, formd-
able enemy force opposes the
British army. which enjoys Amer
lean aid so far as aircraft, tank
specialists. repairmen and me-

1t is estimated that Rommel has
two German armored divisions,
two Italian armored divisions. one
German motorized division and one
partly motorized infantry division.
In addition, the Italians have
about six infantry divisions which
probably are not up to full
strength.
