French government at Bordeaux
that accepted these terms and threw
it's support behind the French Ma
tional Committee formed in London
to carry on the war, with the aid OF
French colonies which pledged con-
tinuance of the battle.
Terms of the Italian armlstice,
signed in a villa near Rome provide
for occupation of only that small
section of France that was taken by
Italian arms. Italy gained control
of Djibouti in Africa and Gemlli-
tarized zones were established be-
tween France and Italy and French
and Italian possessions in Africa.
French naval bases in the Mcditcr-

The sun was laying bright fingers

The afternoon went swiftly and
the hours from the time Linda ar

o'clock a florists cool green box
arrived. She opened it to find an
orchid corsage. Three flowers, the

They talked of this boy and that

Chaplin jumps from the little

has projected one of the most saw

the business of control over Oster-
Itch.
Here too there is sIapstick
aplenty, sometimes an Overabun-
dance of it. Suffice it that Hynkel-
Hitler doesn't emerge a lOvable
character from it all, while Chap
lin himself manages miraculOusly
to retain the affection of the audi
ence-afeat of no little difficulty.
One Of the comedians most no
table achievements in the film is
the amazing fidelity with which
he has reproduced the psychopath-
ic frenzy of -Hitler's oratory, and
the very fine infection of his ev-
cry rasping cultural. Close your
eyes and you will imagine you are
listening to the Fuehrer himself
ranting at you f m the loud
speaker. To accomplish this eff

intensive study of Hitler's voice
as well as his every mannerism,
probably spending months listen
ing to records of his speeches annd
looking at newsreels of his various
activities.
In the few cleverIy chosen words
of prelude to the film, the audience
is notified that any resemblance
between AednOid Hynkel and the
Jewish barber is purely cOinciden-
tai. This notice might well serve
for the picture itself, of which it
might be said that any resemb-
lance between the Chaplin of ''The
Great Dictator" and the Chaplin of
previous films is purely cOinci-
dental"

up, is either a masterpiece or a
mess. AS far as this observer is
concerned, it is masterpiece.

Royal Air Force had kept Hitler's
speech of a scheduled broadcast
and had carried its bombs 800 miles
to the city that is the very home
and birthplace of Naziism.
Rail Communications Target.
The Press Association observed
that the raiders really were after
Munichs rail communications,
pointed out that most of them run
through the center of the city, and
then soberly remarked:
1T can quite easily be imagined
that those assembled in the beer hall
to listen to Hitler were undoubtedly
disturbed"
The Air Ministry itself made the
point that the r. A. F. arrived over
Munich before 9 pm. and dropped
bombs for more than an hour: other
sources said they swept in IA min
utes before the scheduled beginning
of Hitler's speech and stayed at
work for more than an hour and
a half.
All this was but part of spec
tacular nights work-one of the
mightiest in scope yet made in the
British aerial counteroffensive.
British pilots flew 1.600 miles to
assault an airplane factory in Turin,
Italy, and magnetic works at
Milan; others smashed heavily again
at the German submarine base OF
Lorient on the French coast.
Still others smote oil reflneries,
factories, airdromes, freight yards
and ports in Germany, in Holland.
in France-at Gelsenkircken and
Frankfurt, Nuremberg and Amster-
dam, Hanm, Soest, Osnabruck,
Duisburg, the Hook Of Holland,
Stuttgart, Saarbruecken, LIE Havre
and other cities.
Bomb Bursts Plainly Seen.
At Turin, it was declared, the
bursts of exploding bombs could be
plainly seen in the factories OF the
Fiat motor works; the attack went
on without pause for more than
half an hour and hundreds OF in
cendiary bombs redeemed the area
"A train of white explosions was
observed in the Fiat aircraft works.
The magnetic factory in Turin
was said to have been set af1ame
and fires and explosions rose from
the city's main railway station.
The Munich raid was described
