their efforts to keep up morale and
keep the mems minds off escape by
rehabilitation and industry pro-
grams now that the war has ended.
Reduction of the Federal prison
population at the beginning of the
war partly accounts for the few
escapes in 1912, Mr.. Loveland said.
Then while the general prison pop
ulation was falling the Federal peni-

Use of chain gangs in the South,
employment OF prisoners in the fields

prisoners far more opportunities to
get away, Mr.. MacCormick noted.

Canada Wins
Title Again
(By nited Press

ny | 0lleu fTeSSl
Montreal's flying Frenchmen laid
claid to being one of ice hockey's
all-time great teams today as they
brought home their third consecu-
tive National League championship.
The Canadiens won two of their
titles during the war years when
service-drained competition didn't
measure up to prewar toughness.
But last night the Canucks from
Quebec cinched their third banner
in row, ending any doubt that
they were merely a good wartime
team.
And once again il was Montreals
all-star line OF Elmer Lach, Maurice
(The Rocket Richard and Hector
(Toe) Blake-the fleetest French
men of them all-who secured the
1856 N. II. L. title by giving
the Canadiens a to tie with
Toronto as Chicago's pennant
chances were buried beneath a Z 70
3 defeat at the hands of Detroit.
In coming from behind to tie
the Maple Leafs, Montreal boosted
its point total to So. beyond the
reach OF either the second-place
Boston Bruins or the Black Hawks,
in third place.
The present race. which winds
up Sunday. stands as the highest
OF the past three. The Canadiens
now hold a hve-point margin but
last year they took the regular
season title by is points and the
year before by %.
Three-time winner OF the Prince
OF Wales Trophy. awarded annual
ly TO the league champion, the
Canadiens will shoot for the Stan
ley Cup. which they won in 1914
only to have the Maple Leafs take
It away from them last year.

 Four crewmembers of the Rock land. Me. mail boat were found on a small island of Vinal Haven, Me, by a lobster fisherman nearly eight hours after their craft sank The men chung to a make-Shift life- raft until they hoated ashore.
