pertinent to call attention to an in

has been followed persistently even
in Spanish grammars in the trans

consistently given as having the
value of long a., as in rate whereas
Spanish e practically always has
the approximate value of English
short 'e,' as in met The English
sound of long "a is approximated in

The new. canoe trips into trout

Montreal and Quebec City.
The Metabetchouan section lies on
the northeast side of Laurentides

the railway from Quebec City going
to Lac ST. Jean northwards. The
angler leaves the railway at Kis-

Wizards superior would supply the
amount of the fine.
8 Cents Per Ticket
Platt, Mr.. Fitzgerald said, was

ceived commission of 6 cents. He
had no information regarding the
commission paid Willard, Mr.. Fitz-
gerald said, but pointed out that
$1,100 had been paid a winner, for
which Willard received $50.
Complete statements of their ac-
tivities were made successfully by
Platt and Solomito following their
arrests, the states attorney &C
knowledged, but Willard had refused
to divulge who his immediate supe-
rior or superiors were.
Appearing for Willard, Atty. Mi

He pointed out that all three had
refused to retain counsel offered by

attorneys of their own, and their

'The state of Connecticut was in

Full Score Unknown
The full score of the running
sea fight which may still be in
progress was not yet known but
reports thus far disclosed the United
nations attack has blasted 80 or
more Japanese ships.
The Americans are credited with
the probable sinking of a Japanese
aircraft carrier by Submarine &C
ton, the destruction OF nine to II
Japanese ships and repeated torpedo
hits on Japanese cruisers, destroy
ers and transports.
The American attack was esti-
mated to have cost the japanese
possibly 10000 soldiers-a consider
able expeditionary force and much
of its naval escort. Dutch forces
have accounted for about an equal
number of ships, bringing Japanese
losses close to $4,000.
The extent TO Japan's Macassar
Straits force has not been dis
closed. But the total Japanese force
operating in the direction OF the
Dutch islands is estimated at sew
eral hundred thousand men.
Due to overlap of communicates
issued in Washington and by Gen.
Sir Archibald Wavelrs United Ma
lions headquarters in Java, 1t was
impossible to make a specific tally
of Japanese ships lost in the Ma
CAESAR battle.
Wavell reported ships sunk, prob
able sunk, and damaged at 26 but
his figures did not appear to cover
all those rero-ted here. 1t seemed
likely the total now stands at 30
or more.
u. S. naval forces-cruisers, de-
stroyers and submarines-are cred
tied with the sinking OF Japanese
ships with two more probables. U.
S. flying fortresses sank transport
and set afire another.
The naval communique reporting
the sinking of the Japanese aircraft
carrier did not indicate which war
ship of the seven to nine possessed
by Japan was sunk. 1t was the first
Japanese aircraft carrier claimed
by American forces although a IT,

Army Communique
Washington, Jau. 27-UP)-Maj.
Gen. James E. CLANCY, ranking
Army member of the U. S. Military
Mission in London today was given
command of all u. S. Army forces
in the United Kingdom, including
Northern Ireland.
The announcement was made In
an Army communique on the mil
itary situation as of $50 a. m.
The communique said there was
practically no ground fighting on
the Bataan peninsula in the Phil
ippines during the last "a hours al

Arthur's P-40 airplanes shot down
two Japanese dive bombers and dis

CLANCY, one Of the best known
air experts in the Army, has been

the department said. The COM
munique revealed that CLANCY has
had a staff formed for several
months under Brig. Gen. Charles
L. Bolte, who will serve as chief.
The disclosure that CLANCY will
have complete command of U. S.

Solum, Egypt, on November 26. Only
today the German high command
communique said that the submarine
which torpedoed the Barham was
commanded by Baron Won Tiesen-
hansen. The German communique
said the Barham sank after she had
been struck by three torpedoes).
Captain Lost His Life
The admiralty disclosed that Capt
G.. c. Cooke lost his life.
In explaining the delay in an
nouncing the Barham's loss the COM
munique said the German radio
has from time to time made state
ments with the obvious intention of
endeavoring to discover whether a
battleship of the Queen Elizabeth
class, which they claimed to have
hit with torpedoes, had in fact been
sunk. But it is clear now that they
are aware the arham was sunk
so her loss can be announced"
Sinking Of the Barham leaves
Britain with 10 capital ships in COM
mission, including the new King
George v and the Duke of York.
British capital ships lost since the
start Of TIE war were the Royal Oak
Hood, Repulse, Prince Of Wales and
Barnam.
The Royal Oak was sunk at the
start of the war when a German
submarine penetrated Scapa Flow
and put torpedo into her. The
Hood Was lost at sea in battle with
the German apprenticeship Bis
marck, which in turn was destroyed
The Primo cor Wales and the Repulse
were destroyed by the Japanese of
Malaga.
The Barham participated in the
battle of Matapan, in which the
British inflicted heavy damage or
the Italian navy, and in evera
other Mediterranean engagements.
