 Conseription

OTTAWA, Nov 27-Special dis ciplinary measures to maintain order were taken in draftee camps throughout Canada today as Prime Minister King faced bitterly torn parliament to ask vote of confidence for his new policy of partial conscription for overseas service.
 The life of Kings nine-year-old regime hung in the balance as the House of Commons assembled to debate the conscription issue.
 In some areas of the French speaking provinces of Quebec, troops in all categories were told to keep off the streets of certain cities to lessen the possibility of violent outbreaks, such as marked the weekend in various parts of the Dominion. Similar precautions were taken in British Columbia where more than 25,0O0 home de- fense soldiers are stationed. Ap- proximately 5000 of them are French-speaking and demonstra- tions occurred in at least five places over the weekend
 Two military police were injured and flag torn down in British Columbia anti-conscription parades.

Communications Cut

LONDON, July 2S.-Communica-
tions between Berlin and neutral
countries were cut of last night un-
der circumstances similar to those
which preceded the announcement
OF an abortive attempt on Hitler's
life. and today there still was no
immediate explanation of the cause.
Formerly communications we're
broken between Berlin and the out
side world during air attacks, but
recently during Mosquito bomber
attacks there has been no such iso-
lation of the city.
Meanwhile, Reichsminister Paul
Joseph Goebbels. cracked down on
the German people with two total
war" orders, forbidding all vaca-
tions for women workers and direct
ing that front line troops do the
manual work of bridge building and
road repairing formerly done by the
TODT labor organization.
The Berlin correspondent of the
Stockholm newspaper Dagens N.Y.
heter quoted from an article in
Das Reich written by Goebbels'
r1ght-hand man. Hans Schwarz Van
Berk, which said:
When women and children
worked in Leningrad factories under
artillery fire, it is obvious that we
cannot take vacations when the
enemy Is standing at the doors of
East Prussia.
When English women have helped
load ships in the invasion harbors
and 100000 American women are
working In armament factories, mil
lions OF German women cannot stay

he had written Col. Robert Cutler,
executive officer of the United
States War Ballot Commission, ask
ing an explanation of the receipt
Of ballots ahead of schedule.
I'VE want to determine" Mr.. Jor-

this is plain carelessness, whether
it IS chicanery. or whether it is an
out-and-out fraud being perpe-

Jordan said.
In Washington. Col. Cutler said
TT Is neither carelessness, chicanery
nor fraud, but it may be a case of
an honest mistake. In dealing with
something as big as this (soldier
ballots there are bound to be mis-

OF fraud against the soldier voting

maturely is to ask for another bal
