Thousands of Canadians Seek Homeward Amid War Travel Woes
Ottawa reports a cable from England warning of thousands of Canadians abroad unable to return home. The note contrasts ongoing wartime burdens with scarce necessities and notes higher casualty figures in Paris from air raids and shelling. It also cites Canadian penitentiary statistics showing a drop from 2118 to 1463 prisoners over three years. An advertisement in The Banner closes the item.
