she stopped long enough to feel his
beauty laid like whip to her heart.
"You have also promised me-" he said
sternly.
II will keep both promises. But
first, caro- miO, the little promise to
America!'
She began to coax him. See, my
own, you shall 60 with me. We will
have small house in New York to
live in alone. Two hours practice in
the morning, and at night my work.
But how many hours between!'
But Rupert refused to allow Dino
to come to America with them. mo,

my dear. One thing at a time - you
are not capable of two"
"You despise mel! she flung at him.

She had not been able to weaken
his immense determination.

said at last. "You can always give it
up, my dear"

and you know it 1T is your power
over me!'
To this he answered nothing. He
simply waited. Two days later she
bade Dino frantic farewell. He was
going home to his parents to wait
until she sent for him. Rupert had
convinced him somehow that it was
his only hope Of seeing her again.
If she had only not been such a fool!
She had never sung better in her life
than she did that autumn in New
York. With her heart a quivering
lump of pain within her. she forced
herself through day after day of the
regimen she knew was best for the one
end - her nightly singing. Sleep. food.
exercise. practice. rest - and then
singing. Rupert was always near her.
But they spoke very little to each
other and of nothing at all except the
business of her singing.
"Marya appears on the eleventh of
January" he told her. you must be
80 solidly popular here by then that
we need not fear her.
II do not fear her now," she said
proudly.
Still. when he said the next day that
she must accept an extension of her
contract, she did so. though her heart
twitched as she wrote her name
Ifonly she had not yielded to Dino's
madness when he heard of the post
ponement! He could not bear it, he
wrote her. He could not eat or sleep.
And now she was not coming for three
months longer! She did not love him;
he wanted to die.
So she had cabled money to him
secretly - and he came For the first
time since the night he had taken her
out of the Golden Cafe. she hid what
she had done from Rupert.
She thought he knew nothing. They
grew so bold, she and Dino, in the
vastness of New York. that they were
wildly careless at last. He came to
hear her sing and she searched the
spotted darkness before her every
night until she found his face.
II sing to your she had cried to
him.
Only she could not sing! The old
malady fell on her. Love used her up.
Her voice Withdrew Her notices grew
cool.
And then that dreadful final night

that Rupert had guessed. had known
everything. all along! She had sung
that night in Tannhaiser - badly;

that Dino was to meet her in her

 Rome, July g. (UP) - Virginia Gayda, often a spokesman for Premier Benito Mussolini, cautioned Italians today against anticipating immediate. spectacular results from the war against Britain.

 Italy's land operations, dayda pointed out. "extend from Cyrenlea against Egypt. from East Africa against Anglo Egyptian Sudan, against Kenya and 6omaliland."
 Gayda asserted that the British had at least 300,OO0 troops in Egypt and the Sudan not counting natives and Egyptians. They include DoO0 Australians. as well as forces drawn from every other part Of the empire.

 He may be sent to the sea school at Norfolk, Va, the radio school at Quantico, Va, or the aviation group at Quantico, Va. When needed, transfers are made to the armorers school or clerical school at Philadel- phia, and to posts and stations on the Atlantic coast or foreign sta- tionS.
 First Sergeant Beck admits that the Marine Corps involves occa- sional hardships in addition to of- fering free education and a chance to see the world.
 "Hardships sure| he exclaimed. The Marine is trained as a rugged outdoor man who knows how to take care of himself when the going gets a bit rough. That's all part of the career the marine learns to accept in good spirit, knowing that after a short period he will return to his usual comfortable life, happy in the accomplishment of task well done, and with greater freedom to enjoy sports that are part of the every day life of a Marine.

The Marines, as usual, are doing all right by themselves in Water bury. They landed here two weeks ago, opened up recruiting agency and established contacts with eligible young men eager to serve their country and particularly anxious to be accepted in the ser vices of the Marine Corps.
 To date enlistments have been very satisfactory to Major Murl Corbett in charge of the district recruiting agency with headquarters in Spring field and to Sergeant George A, Beck, who is here directing activi- ties from his field office" in the Post Office building, Room 209.
 Fine Specimens
 Daily inquiries are being made as to requirements. Waterbury has some very likely candidates" Ser geant Beck commented today. "The young men we have checked here are fine specimens of American youth. They will be credit to the Marine Corps"
 Yesterday Peter Kerwan of 19 West View street, this city Adam 1anicelli of Oakville and Louis Gig motif of Naugatuck left for the Marine base at Paris Island, South Carolina. Now let Sergeant Beck tell how Uncle Sam makes a fight ing marine out of the average young American.
 "At Paris Island" according to the first sergeant, "the recruit will be given lecture by the officer in charge of the main station, recruit area, on the customs of the service and the routine he will go through during the next six weeks.
 Non commissioned officers will in- strllct him in the school of the re- cruit, platoon drill, skirmish drill, company drill, and the various drills with the rifle. This is a three weeks course and is somewhat strenuous for the untrained man.
 But at the end of this time the men are in better health, have greater chest expansion and less waist line. and in general are of much better appearance physically.
 First Sergeant Beck said the pla- toon, after three weeks, starts train- ing on the rifle and pistol ranges. "This course also takes three weeks, the first week for sighting and aim- ing drills and "snapping in;' the next week for preliminary practice and final firing for record

pO UllC lNdAl
 Daladier, Gamelin
 Daladier and Gamelin have been the subject of much speculation since the French military collapse. There were frequent rumorsall de- nied-that Gamelin had committed suicide or was in custody. There were reports that Daladier had sail ed for North Africa and that his ship was stopped off Casablanca, where he was held virtual prisoner on board.
 Still later Daladier was reported to have sailed from Bordeaux on the S. S. Massigli, which since has not been reported.
 The speed with which the French parliament was tanning through the resolution giving Petain power to set up new constitutional re- gime was partly explained in a dis patch from Vichy by way of the newspaper Petit Dauphinois at Grenoble.
 T bring you not the conviction but the certainty that, if you want an honorable peace, you must give Marshal Petain what he asks" Laval told the members of parlia- ment. If you want to maintain our free institutions the reforms proposed by Marshal Petain must be accepted"
 The chamber of deputies quickly approved the powers asked by Pe- tain by vote of 385 to and the measure was taken before the sen- ate in preparation for final action by the national assembly tomor- row.
 Clamp Down On Resources
 While the French parliament was voting itself out of existence in pre- paration for a new Fascist-like par lament which will merely advise on economic matters, the French war ministry was clamping down on the remaining national resources.
 The war ministry severely limited
