NEW "RIPPER" TERROR:

Biggest man-hunt in Capetown his- Stabbed in the throat, the body of tory followed the discovery, a price of £200 being placed on the killer's Winifred Cornelissen, young unmar- ried mother of an eighteen-month-head. old baby, was found lying in a pool of blood in a lonely Woodstock lane near Capetown, last week.
Crime, sixth in similar circumstances in the past five years, struck_terror in the minds of Capetown's frails, who had provided the five previous victims. In March, 1936, the bodies of Connie Adams and Gertrude Willemburg, stabbed on both sides of the throat, and with clothes half torn off, were found on the Milnerton road within the space of a week; on a nearby beach, the body of another girl found in like condition.
Three years ago, Madeline Sharkey was killed at a lonely spot, wounded by stabs which had severed her jugu- lar vien. She bled to death in a shal- low stream, scrabbling deep into the gravel in her death agony.

Another contention is that a sadist afflicted with an insane desire to kill might be living on a lonely farm out- side Capetown, descending on the city in search of a victim and returning immediately without leaving a trace. Yet another theory is put forward by a Capetown psychologist who be- lieves that the crimes have been com- by a Jekyll-and-Hyde mitted

FIRST BATCH
London, December 19.
THE FIRST CONTINGENT of Canadian soldiers are now in England. There are several thousands of them, and they arrived with secrecy at a group of western ports.
British ships escorted them there, and 'planes of the Fleet Air Arm dipped and soared overhead in a welcoming salute.
The first shipload about 1,000 · scrambled ashore with wild whoops and wavings of rifles, were hustled into parade to hear a speech from Mr. Anthony Eden, Dominions Secretary, and this telegram from the King:
Canadian Military Headquarters Staff established in England some time ago.
The man who brought the first con- tingent is Major-General ›
52-year-old McNaughton, scientist.
"On behalf of the people of this a country, I send the warmest welcome to the first contingent of the Canadian Forces to reach these shores.
"The British Army will be proud to have as comrades-in-arms the sons of those who came from Canada in the, Great War and fought with a heroism which has never been forgotten. "George, King and Emperor."
MANY PARTLY TRAINED
The Canadiana greated their King's message with a cheer, and then dismissed to crowd into the troop trains that took them to their concentration area, where they will continue their training. At one port people enjoying their fresides heard the Canadians long be- fore the ships reached the quays.
Choruses sung by the men could be heard, and when they rushed to the liners water front they saw ocean coming in escorted by battleships, des- troyers, and an aircraft carrier.
One of the greatest feats of the war so far was ending-the safe scross an transport of troops

The total enlistment of the Canadian Expeditionary Force in the last war was 619,636. Of that number 30,488 fell in action.
To-day the same sturdy type of soldier has come to do his bit. Many have had considerable training already in Canada and will complete it under
OFF THE RECORD

Some of them' are Mounties, whose job in this war is traffic control. And also among the Canadians' first ship- loads was "Sandy" Somerville, the golfer who has won the American and Canadian amateur championships.
Mr. Eden, who stood on the quay with Mr. Vincent Massey, High Com- missioner for Canada, spoke to the beside troops as "one who served Canadian comrades in the last war."
CENSORSHIP
Our unco-ordinated Censorship be- wilders its victims once again.
Mr. Churchill, in his broadcast last night, probably quite unwittingly, disclosed to the public news that the newspapers had been forbidden to print.
It was known to The Daily Mail, in common with the rest of the Press, that the first contingent of the Cana- dian Expeditionary Force had landed in England.
Urgent requests were made by the Censorship-presumably for military reasons-that the news should not be published until later this week.
Mr. Churchill, apparently, was not aware of this when he made his an- nouncement.
