F. D. K.-How did certain fail
ure in personal performance affect
my future? Am / right in my
opinion of the individual involved I?
What should l do?
Answer-The incident that you
have in mind was not considered a
failure only you think so. The
individual concerned is perfectly
willing to carry on. Dismiss the
present worry from your mind and
proceed in a normal way, just as
though nothing had happened.
S. G.-My brothers wife tells
me that my brother is at home and
will not write to me and wish to
know if it is true?
Answer-Make him a visit this
summer.
o. B.-Tell me if all this l hear
is true? If so, then l can start pre-
pairing to forgive him as 1 have so
often done in the past. -
Answer-He may have been in
vOlved to some degree but he isn't
guilty of the rumors that reached
your ears this time. Your husband
fully intends to go straight and do
the right thing. You shouldn't be
worrying When the BABY
COMES he is going to be a
changed man.
G. H. vi am steadily making
plans to go to Chicago the first of
May and l want your advice as to
whether this change l am making
would be the best thing for me or
not.
MISUNDERSTANDING it from a
business angle it would be a per-
feet set-up for you to go to Chi
cagO. May remind you that you
should not expect to be there
year before you send for your fam
lily just as soon as you get the
money ahead have them move
there, too, and you will be making
a smart move. They should join
you about the middle of June.
F. G. X.-I've been cheated out
of life, love and all the things that
girls crave and sometimes become
so respondent that 1 wonder if life
is worth living. Will I ever be
happy?
Answer-Yes, provided you could
stop plying yourself long enough
to do something about it. You kill
your chances for romance the
first time you meet a new fellow
you go through lOng-winded con-
versatiOn of how bad you have been
treated and you have never been
asked to marry, etc. Start life
anew right now make friends

army pension had provided him
with comfort, began under the
Nazis by selling Jumps Of sugar
from a treasure trove he had Sc

before the spring raids began to
get slaves for Germany--he spent
his time going carefully over the
wreckage In his apartment and mine

Underground Movement.
The people Of Warsaw accepted"
German rule passively, but an
underground movement began i'm
mediately with numerous organi-
cations. I do not care to 60 into
details for obvious reasons. But
will tell you what the Nazis dis
covered for themselves.
A law was passed early In Nov
ember ordering all radio sets to be
given up at the neighborl1ood police
stations. The presence of q radio

the places that had managed to
hoard some.
The stores did not open until the
middle Of october and then only to
sell out whatever stock the manager
had been able to preserve in a hid
ing place. Since nobody had any
money, the banks were closed and
when they finally opened with
drawals were limited to less than
enough for subsistence diet
everybody went Immediately into
business for himself, the peddling
business.
People sold whatever they had.
and when one met a friend in War
saw. one did not say, How did you
do?" as in the old days, but What
are you selling?" There were jewels
for sale on the streets and handfuls
of beans, cans of food and it was
not unusual to see a man selling the
clothes off his back. I saw one,
whose coat was tied together with
strings, selling buttons.
Food Sought at Farms.
Once one had money. the search
for food began. That meant
usually long trips out to the country,
where farms still had produce Of
some kind.
My own eating was taken care Of
by a job my father found for me.
He was commandant in a volunteer
civic police that sprang up after
the regular police had all been i'm
prisoned by the Nazis. He made
me clerk in the supply store,
where my job was to sort out and
stack up food and clothing that
had been taken from army depots
in Warsaw for distribution to the
people.

were quite ingeniously hidden and
their owners would write down the
news they got from foreign broad
casts and hand 1t along, and 1t swept
the city.
In April, when the Gestapo arrived
in force, they found q well Equipped
radio station operating on Golden
street, near the center of Warsaw.
1t seems that only one man was
allowed In the house at Q time, to
minimize the tragedy Of discovery.
This was the announcer. He broad
cast with a gun In his hands. He
saw the Gestapo coming and held
them on for Q while, killing one
ofncer, one on-commissioned
oficer and wounding and killing q
few privates. He saved his last
bullet for himself. This Is q law
Of the underground movement to
prevent being tortured into con-
Tossing the names of colleagues.
I will say this much because am
sure the Nazis know it. Every
place where Nazi officials live In
Warsaw has been mapped and
charted and assigned. When the
time comes. when uprising is
possible, there will be no escape
for them. No door will lead any
where but to the grave.

No reason was given for the opening

At the end of November, Warsaw's

There was nothing available in the

British censors, acting In accord

American Export liner Excanbur,
which made a special stop to land
the Duke and Duchess of Windsor

The mail will be forwarded to New

Dinner for Windsors.
Meanwhile, the royal couple, after
spending their first night at Gov
ernment House, planned q shopping
trip in Hamilton this afternoon.
Tonight they will be given private
dinner by the governor Of this island
colony, Maj. Gen. Denis Kirwan
Bernard. The colonial secretary and
the admiral commanding the Royal
Navy's American and West Indies
Squadron, Sir Charles Kennedy
Purvis, will be among the guests.
Before the Windsors 60 on to
Nassau, where the Duke will be
governor and commander in chief,
he will inspect the troops garri-
soned at Bermuda, small part of
which he reviewed yesterday dur
ing the reception at the Royal Yacht
Club.
It was at this reception that So
cial precedent was set by the gov
ernor's sister, Mrs. Hastings Brooke,
and Admiral Purvis' wife, who curt
sled to the Duke but greeted his
American-born Duchess with friend

Automobile Attracts Attention.
Hamilton had three principal top
les Of conversation-the Dukes
friendly, informal manner and
youthful appearance, the Duchess
simplicity and the Dukes four-door
sedan, which was put ashore from
the Excalibur, together with sports
trailer and enough luggage to fill
two trucks.
The sedan was an object of con-
siderable curiosity. Many Bermuda
ans, living on an island where fire
engines and municipal service
trucks are the only motor We
hicles allowed, never had seen
passenger automobile.
Doubt that the Duke and Duchess
would visit the United States in the
near future was expressed last
night by the Dukes aide-de-camp,
Capt. George Wood.

sympathy (later It was learned that
1t was through Huntzinger that Ali
bert and Peyrouton had sought to
sound out the Germans as to their
acceptance of the conspiracy to try
the Republican leaders.)
Huntzinger's encourage in the War
Ministry consisted of generals long
connected with the monarchist
group around the Action Franchise,
OF which Albert is leading mem
ber. Four Ministers, Lemery, Pietri,
Mireaux and Ybarnegaray, were
eliminated. These four had opposed
the idea OF the Riom trials from
the very beginning. Conservative
and reactionary in their opinions
they were the last Angolophiles in
the government.
Laval "Cramped Style"
The governments style" was
cramped only by Laval, the one re-
manning parliamentarian. 1t was
said openly that the only reason
Petain had failed to remove him
was because only two months before,
in his constitutional Decree" he
had named Laval his successor in
the event OF his death. But Laval's
influence was sharply diminished.
The new government proceeded
Immediately with its program of
repressions. On September it
published the decree depriving
RothSchild of citiZenShip-the NaZi
radio had repeatedly taunted the
French with the fact that Rothschild
was still considered Frenchman as
an example of the refusal of the
French to consider the new situa-
ton. On September 8, the news
papers reported the arrests Of Della
dier, Reynaud and Gen. Gamelin.
Evening star., 1940-12-17
By BORIS NIKOLAYEySKY.

The reorganization of the Petain
government, with the elimination
of Pierre Laval. may be expected to
accelerate action in the so-called
Riom trials and also to widen the
scope of the prosecutions by the in
clusion of many other Republican
leaders.
Marshal Petain's statement on
Saturday that the reorganization
of the government was necessitated
by high reasons of interior policy"
and has in no way any connection
with our relations with Germany
reflects correctly the immediate sig
niflcance of Laval's exit and the ap-
pearance in the government of
Pierre Etienne Flandin. Laval's in
fluence in the government has been
on the decline since last September.
His downfall is the consequence of
sharp disagreements with Minister
of the Interior Peyrouten, now the
most powerful figure in the govern
ment, and Minister of Justice ALI
bert. Peyrouten and Albert are the
engineers of the Riom trials. in ac-
cordance with the demands of Adolf
Hitler. These trials illustrate more
convincingly than anything else the
abject dependence Of the Vichy
government upon Berlin.
Flandin Held Aloof.
AS regards foreign policy, there
was little difference between Lava
and Flandin. If anything, Flandir
is even more determined to pursue
a pro-German orientation. He re-
fused to enter the government last
August because he insisted upon q
closer collaboration with Germany
than the Vichy government ap.
peared to be demonstrating at that
time. 1t is significant that during
all the months since the collapse
of France, Flandin had refused tc
write in newspapers under control
of the Vichy government, and con-
fined his articles to the Paris
papers, under directo censorship and
domination of the German occupa-
ton authorities.
Laval finally has been pushed out
of the government by Peyrouton
and ALBERT because he opposed eX-
tension of the original scope of the
Riom trials, while the first two, re-
dictionary monarchists and violent
pro-Germans. wanted to embark
upon wholesale persecution and pro-
secution of many Republican lead
ers. Laval was against this wider
policy. The reorganization of the
Petain government at this time
means, therefore, the launching Of
a new campaign against all demo-
cratic and liberal elements in France
as part of an effort to establish an
out and out Fascist regime and stem
the growing De Gaullist and pro-
British sentiment. This is, of course,
quite in line with Hitler's demands
upon the Petain regime.
The specific accusations on which
the defendants in the Riom cases
are to be brought to trial remain
uncertain.
Accused Win Popularity.
One thing we may say with as
surance: The accused have gained
greatly in popularity in recent
months. Nevertheless, they will be
brought to trial, for such is Hitler's
demand.
A study of the original of the
trials discloses them as the central
,rohlono nf tioo npliticol oyictorco
of the Vichy government and reveals
the play of many interests and inf1u-
ences. The conflict around the

Soon thereafter came the arrests OF
radicals and Socialists. Among those
arrested were Blum, Marx Dormoy
and Pomaret, the last named being
Petain's first Minister of the Inte-
rior. Jouhaux and Moutet, who
were also ordered arrested, managed
to escape, but Moutet's son, who was
found in his fathers apartment.
was taken instead.
1t would be erroneous to say that
the arrests produced favorable
impression in the population. While

press, like the contemplate sheet"

the arrests are so patiently the mani
festation of political revenge that
the population has regarded them
with disapproval and even with con-
tempt. The people feel that the
trials are directly or indirectly to
be ascribed to the demand of the
Germans, and one need only be
pictured as a victim of German per-
secution to be popular in France
today.
