German secret service had written in black book the names of myriad spies and saboteurs who were ready to pull down Poland's house upon itself. And part of the tragedy of that houses fall is that the Polish counter-espionage service was not utterly befooled. It had an inkling of the stealthy precautions, but was hog-tied by its govern ment.

 Revealing light upon Nazi charges that documents from Poland show Ambassadors Bullitt and Kennedy egged on Poland, Britain and France to war against Germany is cast by another document from Poland, not handed out as propaganda, but ob- tained at some effort, from a re- liable source.
 There is external evidence of the genuineness of its revelation that probably before Ambassador Bullitt allegedly told Poland America would join the war, certainly long before the war began, the Nazis were un- dermining Poland and preparing its invasion with consummate secrecy and completeness.
 This is the first publication of the document. It was taken by the Poles from German aviator-dead, which discounts forgery. It is an official instruction to the invading German troops, showing the invas- ion was preceded by the greatest secret service operation in history.
 Before a shot was fired, the Ger mans had honeycombed Poland with spies, bombmen, saboteurs, incen- diaries and snipers. And not only freelances, but also organized forces, with uniforms, arm bands, and a password whereby the incoming Germans could recognize them.

These men were armed with Ger man regulation pistols and hand grenades taken from Czecho slova- kia. The most desperate were pick ed up and dropped by German planes, floating to earth clutching parachutes - and dynamite, with which to blow up bridges and roads behind the Polish army while their comrades prevented the Polish troops from doing the same before the Germans. All were to wage guerilla warfare-"little war" especially a. gainst the Polish army's lines of communication.

They represented the most scien-

talked about nothing else and they
pooled the experience Of the scien-
tific world on the subject.

BlOch's Observations

A remarkable set of obscrva-
tons is that of Bloch who cured
warts by suggestion. The eyes Of
the patient are blindfolded and he
sits with his hands on an electric
ally controlled vibrating machine.
No electric currents of any kind
enter the body, however. The
warts are painted with methy-
Iene blue or red ink, and the pa
tlcnt is told that so long as any
Il ace Of color remains ne is not to
touch the warts. This latter eau
ton pre.ents re-infection. The
disappearance of warts under
these circumstances explains the
old housewife methods Of rubbing
the wart with q piece Of raw meat
and burying the meat under an
apple tree on a moonlight night,
or burying the dish rag under the
porch.
At any rate, the patient should
always be warned at the Lcgin-
ring of treatment that it may take
time, so he will not Gi"" up in des-
pair if the first mcthois taH.
Plantar warts are ""ry trouble
