Vancouver, B. C, Sept. 8th (by airmail) The absence of war
atmosphere hera still puzzles your correspondent. Strolling along
the waterfront saw the familiar veteran, the "Princess Louise ,
the CPR boat on the Victoria run, and beyond It towering over
the freight shed roof, the bridge of a huge ocean liner.
We supposed the latter was another CPR ship, but rounding
the bend discovered It was an Australian liner In from "Down
Under" for a week, In 1U war paint, a strange mixture of olive
green and khaki, whlchemay or may not be the latest in camou
flage. Th. .m on the bow had been painted out but being In
raised letters, we finally deciphered It as the "Awatea' of Wel
lington, and a fine looking ship she Is, between JO and 40,000 tons
we should say, with elevators between decks, swimming pools,
ball rooms, restaurants and all the modern comforts of a deluxe
hotel of the deep. We know, for we walked all over her.
Which brings us to the point this strange absence of war at
mosphere. nd even normal and we should suppose necessary.
war precautions.
The gangplank was down near the stern, and while there
were roustabouts lounging around, gang of paint-spotted tramps,
daubing the hull a dull black, no one to challenge us and no
one paid any attention to us, as we strolled alohg, around and
about, and up and down, until we finally reached the bridge, high
up above the bow where we struck the first sign of there being
a war on, a crew of men were building bomb shelters around
the bridge, piling blocks of concrete, roofed over like an Esqlmaux
igloo.
Also found one deck which apparently had been cleared of all
cabins and was to be used for freight. or perhaps troops, Imag
ine what one wandering Nazi with a time bomb In his suit case
could have done!
When we returned to the dock there was a Vancouver "Bob
by" on guard at the end of the gangplank, but instead of stopping
us he merely saluted smartly as we passed on.
Throuoh the picket gate near the street there was another
policeman, but he also paid no attention. We finally asked him If
one eould go on board the ship. He shook his head, explaining
there was war work going on, and visitors were not admitted. So
we decided we Just happened to be on hand between watcnes or
something of the sort, and were perhaps lucky not to have been
shot for trespassing.
However, the lack of war excitement what It Is, no guaras lor
the ship would not have been so surprising.
From one of the ship's crew we later learned the "Awatea"
is a new passenger liner built for the British, American-Australian
trade, but now In war service, and Instead of returning to Wel
lington will proceed soon to England, with war supplies and prob
ably several aviation ground units.
The Japanese curio store on Grenvllle Street, has been hit
hard by the war, altho a large sign at the entrance "owned and
operated exclusively by Canadians" may have helped.

Having some time to kill, took a bus over the Lion Gate sus
pension bridge to West Vancouver and on to the Whyteside cliffs
near the Vancouver channel entrance, about 12 miles west of the
harbor. It was a clear, beautiful day, and from the cliffs one could
see the outlines of Vancouver Island plainly, as well as in the
other direction, Mt. Baker's snow-packed elegance. The sound,
far below, was dotted with putt-putt fishing boats, and here and
there were shore parties In bathing suits, we sat on the rocks
an hour but saw no one catch a fish, or take a dive.
Called at another Vancouver newspaper office, and had our

supremely, even sublimely, confident of final and complete vic

press, but the belief Is so deep seated, there seems to be no way of
soon correcting It short of some fare-reaching and unexpected Nazi
triumph.
The second newspaper spokesman, explained it all on the
suspension of the bombing of England and the abandonment of
any German Invasion attempt. "Conditions are so much better
NOW", he explained "than they were a year ago, that there is no
