know because l have met the UNI
happiest man in the world, and
can tell you within a hundred
yards of where he is as you are
reading this.
He is the Frenchman in Berlin
Just before war was officially
declared last September, the Ger.
man and French diplomats fixed
it up between them that the Ger
man embassy staff in Paris. be.
fore it left for home. should leave
behind one janitor who would nail
up ratholes and keep the pipes
from freezing. and the French
would be permitted to leave behind
in. Berlin one Frenchman to look
after their embassy there.
The French embassy in Berlin
is a great rambling palace on the
Pariserplatz at the end Of Untei
den Linden. So it happens thert
is one Frenchman left in Berlin
not a prisoner, not a spy. moi
legally interned-just an ordinary
plug Frenchman walking the pave
ments of the capital city of an
enemy nation during wartime.
Only he can't walk far, for
the Germans have ruled that
he may not leave the PARSER
platz. So. after he has done
his daily duties, set his mouse
traps, walked over the big
empty building from cellar to
attic to see that the dust
covers are In place and all il
in order, his leisure time Is a
problem. He spends most of IL
talking to the boys In the
American embassy just oppo-
site, which Is almost the only
other building In the PARSER
platz which isn't q Nazi gov
eminent office. And all he
can ever think or talk about IL
his opposite number, tho Ger
man who has been left behind
In Paris.
He hears that back in Paris they
let the German custodian have a
radio. Then why won't the Nazis
here let him have a radio, so he
can listen to French broadcasts ?
Every bit of gossip and rumor he
can pick up about the German in
Paris fsscinates him, and usually
adds to his rage.
One day he comes into the
American embassy white with
fury. He has just learned that
the German in Paris is allowed 10
roam the city, is even free TO go
to Montemarte night clubs and
amuse himself.
Is justice deads Must he,
the Frenchman In Berlin, re-
main cooped up here by the
Nazis in the Pariserplatz-a

stone and cold statuary, while
the German In Paris IN free to
romp with the girls Of Mont

Has he been completely for

great French republic, which
he serves daily by mailing up
rat holes:

then, or perhaps take a look at
the girls down at the Femina
some evening, won't someone
please see that the German In
Paris Is shut up in the German
embassy without a radio?
BY now of course the Frenchman
in Berlin has forgotten these
lesser wrongs. with Man armies

 A man who can infallibly read a dog sled trail whitening before the blast of an Arctic blizzard and who has traversed m iles on miles of trackless northern tundra with the ease of a man walking to his corner grocery, Stefansson suffered misfor- tune on this trip to Anchorage when he got lost" on the Alaska Rail- road.
 A few days ago, Stefansson board ed train he thought was bound for Fairbanks. A short distance out of town, he realized his mistake and disembarked at a whistle post to sheepisly board speeder and return to Anchorage and await the proper train.

 Case Aboard

The motorship Penguin of the Fish and Wildlife Service spent a few hours in Juneau today on it's way south from its Christmas trip to the Bering Sea.
 Aboard the Penguin is year. and-a- half-old Eskimo girl who is being rushed to Seattle where a bronschoscope will determine the damage done her by safety pin she recently swallowed.
 The little miss swallowed the pin November 6, and Coast Guard headquarters at Ketchikan were asked for assistance in securing inn mediate medical attention for the child. Fisheries employees at St. Paul Island are accompanying her south to the Tacoma hospital where the pin may possibly be removed
 This morning, Office of Indian Affairs doctors X-rayed the little miss, found the safety pin, closed in the bronchus of the left lung, but she surprisingly as Dr. Leslie White put it, showed no symptoms of foreign matter in the lungs.
 Penguin passengers said the lit- tie girl certainly hasn't hurt her appetite" at any rate.

 One Big Bombing
 Only one section of Britain was heavily bombed during yesterday. An unidentified town on the south coast was reported to have suf- fered what was described as "a brief but heavy" attack. However this was nothing in the nature of a major raid.

 The mystifying absence of the usual Nazi hlizkrieg warfare lead military circles to suspect sone- thing in the nature of a German surprise might be afoot. The Chan nel last night was rough with a heavy swell and was overhung by a thick mist. Everything seemed to be against an invasion but the feeling that such a move might be impending was greatly height ened this afternoon when German shore batteries sent tons of shell. screaming into the Dover area Bratain's big guns along the cliff replied.

Treasurer M1Ndughion Ex- plains Tuberculosis
 Moneys Uses

In answer to many inquiries re- ceived as to the expenditure of Christmas Seal Sale funds, James McNaughton, Treasurer of the AL aska Tuberculosis Association today issued the following statement:
 "Ninety-five percent of the money raised is retained by the Alaska Tuberculosis Association for the control of the disease in the Ter ritory. The remaining five percent is paid to the National Association for its nationwide campaign. Dur ing the past four years, we have contributed s15,0O0 to the tuber- culin testing and x-ray clinics held in the schools of Alaska These clinics have taken 5000 X-rays and given more than 10000 tuberculin tests during this time. This has accounted for the major portion of the available funds.
 The remainder is spent each year for health education. Cooper ating with Federal and Territorial agencies, we have distributed more than 30,00o pamphlets on tubercu- losis. Motion pictures on tubercu- losis have been shown wherever power is available and talks or tuberculosis control have beer given to all interested groups"
 T feel he continued, that il is particularly important that tho people of Alaska know that SC large portion of the funds art retained at home and used fol control of tuberculosis in the Ter. ritory."
