the landing boats would capsize.
Waves which lowered 10 feet
tossed us up like chips for giddy
second, then plunged us downhill
into the dark troughs.
I was amazed to see how the sea-
sick men snapped back and grew
tense as sprinters waiting for the
gun in the last five minutes before
our boats ground their noses on the
beach.
This was as close to reality as q
rehearsal could come. The sea was
dotted for miles with vessels of the
f1eet-the biggest ever used on such
maneuvers. A simulated lombard
ment of the shore doomed overhead
Destroyers and gunboats glided
eerily in and out, guiding us shore
ward. Squadrons of RAF Hurricanes
and Spitfires flew overhead. Acrid
smoke shells screened us from the
shore.
Out there, in the small hours Of
the morning, was a rendezvous of
hitting power and coordination.

Canadian Press War CorreSpondent.

WITH A CANADIAN ATTACK
FORCE AT A BRITISH PORT,
July 13.-The greatest sea-borne,
supported attack maneuvers
ever staged under the British flag
all clearly labeled invasion-have
been completed by Canadian forces
in England.
AS correspondent with the Cana
dians, I saw the training in every
detail.
1t was the most impressive and
encouraging evidence of offensive
intention and power since came
to Britain almost two years ago.
1t was a Canadian show for
hand-picked audience, but for the
first time lieutenants and sergeants
from the United States Expedi-
tionary Force in Northern Ireland
went with the Dominion fighters In
their weeks of practice assaults on
the English coast.
All was in deep secrecy, with only
80 or 40 top commanders watching.
Among them were Lord Louis
Mountbatten, Britain's Commando
chief. and 1t. Gen. A. G. L. Nc
Naughton, commander of the Cana
dian Army in England.
Eisenhower Visits Area.
1t. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower
commander of the United States
armed forces in the European the
ater. visited the practice area once
to talk to senior United States Army
and Navy officers there as observers.
A huge armada of the British
Navy put to sea several times with
the Canadian force, staging in stag
gering dimensions dress rehearsals
of the kind of work it would have to
do in an invasion Of the Lowlands
France or Norway.
It carried the arms, ammunition,
explosives, men and machines that
would be necessary to establish a
continental bridgehead.
Just as a gauge to the reality Of
the maneuvers, a field company Of
engineers needed a whole week to
repair damage to defense works set
up by British troops defending"
the shore.
I went ashore once with the in
fantry invading force after two
hours in a wild sea ride that had
almost every man seasick far out at
sea in weather so rough we thought

Sdboteurs' Relatives
In France 10 Face
Death, Nazis Warn
Males Over 18 to Be Shot,
Women to Be Sentenced to
Hard Labor, People Told
n. the Associated Press.

vICHY, July 13.-The Germans
announced today In Paris they
would shoot males over 18 years
old who are members OF families
Of fugitives from German military
Justice accused Of terrorism Or
sabotage.
This applies to "all near male
relatives in the ascending line as
well as brothers law and cousins"
Women of the same degrees Of kim
ship will be sentenced to hard
labor and children Of adults thus
punished will be sent to reform
schools, the announcement said.
A notice issued by the Gestapo
director overnight to the press in
the occupied area said:
After having observed the atti-
tude of the French population in
the occupied zone have noted that
a majority of the population is con-
tinuing to work in calm. Terrorist
attacks, sabotage, etc, instigated by
the English and Soviets are disap-
proved of and it is known that it
is only the peaceable French popu-
lation which suffers the conSe-
quences.
Il am resolved to guarantee to
the French population in absolute
fashion, in the midst of war con-
tinuation of its work in calm and
security, but I have noticed that
above all it is close relatives of the
authors OF terrorist attacks, of sab
oteurs and troublemakers who help
them before and after the deed.
II therefore have decided to make
use Of the most severe penalty not
only to strike at perpetrators of
terrorist attacks, saboteurs and
troublemakers themselves after they
are arrested but also, in case Of es-
cape, as soon as the fugitives' names
are known, at families Of these
criminals if the latter do not pre-
sent themselves during 10 days fol-
lowing their forfeits to German or
French police stations.
I'm consequence, am announc-
ing the following penalties:
81. All near male relatives in the
ascending line as we'll as brothers
in-law and cousins from the age of
18 years will be shot.
20. All women of the same de-
gree of kinship will be sentenced to
hard labor
IS. All children under 18 years
Of men and women subjected to
these measures will be sent to re-
form schools.
Il therefore appeal to all to pre-
vent by means at their disposal ter
rorist attacks and acts Of sabotage
and disturbance and to give the
blightest clue which could be use
ful to the Germans or French police
authorities in order to apprehend
the criminals"
