London, March 7. - The Canadian Associated Press understands that despite some unavoidable disappointments in securing ships, which had been promised, the repatriation of Canadian troops is proceeding steadily at an accelerated rate. The embarkation of the 3rd Division for Canada is now being carried out with all plans completed for the arrival in England of the 1st Division from France. The demobilization of the corps will continue without interruption. In order, however, to accord the fairest treatment possible to all troops, it has been arranged that a certain number of ships will be allocated for the concentration camp at Kimmel Park. The Canadians in camps in England will by this method be steadily repatriated as units, There is a sailing on the 10th of troops at KimmelPark, and further sailings at regular intervals
