CHAPTER VI
Entering the foyer. Ann darted
a glance at the bench which faced
the Blashfield painting. 1t was un-
occupied She went to the reading
room and selected a magazine.
About to sit down where she could
keep an eye on the painting and
bench, she suddenly dropped the
magazine. A young man was
walking across the foyer with a
pile Of books under his arm. With
staring eyes, Ann watched him
dump the books on the circulation
desk and turn away.
There was nothing strange In
this procedure. The astounding
unbelievable thing was that he
wore a white gardenia and-he
was the selfsame young man
whose window faced AIMS from
across the alley.
Ann actually gasped. It couldn't
be. You met this sort of thing in
fiction-coincidence, they called II
but not in real life. 1t simply
couldn't be but 1t was. The
young man had stopped at the
Blashfield painting, he was re-
garding 1t. Ann, propelled by a
delighted urge, crossed the foyer
and joined him.
Hello" she said.
He jerked his head around, his
eyes darkening. Hello" he re-
turned shortly.
A little laugh rose in AIMS
throat. His evident embarrass-
ment eased her tensed nerves. 1t
all fitted perfectly. OF course he
was lonely. Hadn't she seen him
find solace in books night after
night? She glanced at his gar
denia, almost as II she waited for
1t to find voice and make the in

returned his gaze to the canvas.
"Shall we sit down ?" Ann asked.
She was not affronted by his lack
of cooperation. The personal had
been his idea, not hers. Now that
the time had come, he was speech

reasoned.

Dear Miss Grey: Answering
Betsy, can't help but wonder why
20 many men and women acquire
the tobacco habit without first
considering thu cost. It leads \
person along dangerous paths.
Almost, without exception. men
and women become slaves TO the
tobacco habit. They must have
their tobacco despite the fact that
often their families need food and
common necessities.
Smoking Is q selfish habit. The
smoker. IN particular, often fails
to consider those about him or her.

habit leads anyone into dangerous
paths. The most agreeable and
pleasant persons l have ever met,

against Britain and at the same
time exposed the Rumanian oil res
ervoir to actual or possible at
tack from three directions.
The Rumanian fields are within
British air reach from Greece and
protected only by Bulgarian and
Yugoslavian neutrality. They are
open to Turkish air attack across
the Black sea if Nazi aggression
draws Turkey into the war. Above
all, they are open to Russian at
tack by land and air from the
east.
More Difficulties
Russo-Axis friction over control
of Rumania' S Danube delta in
creases German difficulties in
planning adequate protection f o r
vital Rumanian oil. 1t seems more
rational to regard Nazi troop con-
%centrations in Rumania as for de.
tense purposes than to assume
that they portend a German march
eastward against Turkey or an
armed clash with Russia.
German invasion of either Bull
garia or Yugoslavia to strike
against the Greeks would precipi-
tate a two-front war of imponder-
able proportions. 1t may be that
Berlin's purpose in massing such
heavy forces in Rumania is to awe
Russia, Turkey and the Balkan
neutrals while she comes to grips
with England in the west.
AS a precaution preliminary for
an attack in the west, strong re-
Enforcement of the German PRO
tective" army in Rumania would
seem logical. If there is actually
danger of a Russo-Axis break, of
Turkish Intervention as a British
Greek ally, or of British violation
of Bulgarian neutrality to smash
by air at Rumanian oil targets,
the time for it would be later.
Once Germany strikes all out at
England, if she does, she will re-
quire all her resources on h a t
front. That would be the moment
for her open or secret foes in the
east to seize opportunity and start
battering at her Balkan back-door.
1t may be that Hitler is preparing
against that possibility. 4

representation of the American Lee

officers of each unit. Each COM

lieutenant and a second Lieutenant,
and several men should be recon-

mended should have military train

tary experience.

officers.

resources. Without that oil, n e

may be in storage, they could not

operations on one front let alone

Yet Italian reverses at the hands

added greatly to the menace to
Germany in the back. They have
shattered for Russia and Turkey,

Of Axis military invincibility, so
