oCAIRO, Egypt, Feb. 4 -tR-
German planes have been active
in the Mediterranean theater Of
war in the past week. but the
results of their incursions, ~ far
as I have been able to observe
them, have been negligible.
Returning to Cairo from q
fortnight with the British army
in Libya, went through two
raids by the Nazi airmen In
which no damage was done.
As we arrived in Tobruk last
Friday night we saw three dive
bombers playing hide-and-seek
with searchlights. At dawn Sat
urday more German planes re-
turned to Tobruk, bombing the
harbor and notwithstanding the
town, which was practically
empty.
Bullets struck near us, but
there were no casualties.

THE, guardhouse was not es-
pecially sinister from the out
side. A soldier patroled leisure
ly before it. Almost, she ex-
pected him to say, stop, and
give the countersign." He didn't.
Inside, there was a small bare
room, not very different from
the other rooms she had seen
on the post. Another soldier on
duty no d d e d when Sergeant
Moore explained, and a moment
later she was sitting with Bill
on a bench and asking, What
happened, darling?"
Bill was sulky. "The Army's
idea of a cute stunt! Bread and
water stuff, as If / were a child"
Are you on bread and wa

impatient, annoyed. But more
alarming than anything else was
that look of stubborn anger
that childish sulkiness she had

Bill :" She clasped
her hands, tightly. BILL, you're
not trying to fight the Army,
are you? The whole Army, all
by YOURSELF"
Go on, be coy about it,"
"Oh, Bill" She bit her lip,
and turned her head swiftly.
She must not cry.
Don't you want to tell me
about it," she asked after
while. Outside the soldier on
duty was rafting a newspaper.
She wondered, in disjointed
little flashes, whether there
were O ther prisoners in the
guardhouse; whether they were
all like Bill, sullen and surly;
whether some other girl would
come into this bare room, soon,
to sit on q bench and try to be
tactful. And I thought maybe
today could talk him out Of his
les ] o u sy-maybe today we
could clear up this thing that
has been tearing us apart"
There's nothing to tell" Bill

what?"
She should not have said it.
She knew she shouldn't. But
there was only so much she
could bear. Bill wasn't think
ing of her side of this. He wasn't
remembering that she had some
here to be with him, to have
this one day of happiness in an
otherwise empty week.
The trouble was, she sa W
clearly, Bill had never looked
at this from her point of view
at all. Since the day his num-
Der was called, he had not stop
ped to think what it meant to
her. Duty. That morning the in
duction order came, she had
seen it as the government ex-
acting a duty of her as we'll as
of Bill.
Yet Bill himself had never
seen it like that. To him, it was
something he bore while she
went on as before. While She

SHE stared at him. Stared as

with the curled lip, the skepti-
cal, chilly eyes.
Something snapped in her
mind then. Something that had
been growing these last difficult
weeks until now it sprang forth,
quiverinR and alive, but strong
and full nurtured. A decision.
A decision she had not even
known she was making.

MARTHA MAKES
A DECISION
CHAPTER XIII

MARTHA MARSHALL drove
to camp the following Sunday
with the same, heavy weight OF
dread pressing on her that had
been with her all week. Bills
unreasoning jealousy must stop.
In some way, she must end it.
But how? Hadn't she done
everything q woman could do?
She blamed herself bitterly for
not having stuck to her resolve
to stop seeing Paul. Yet, was 1t
her fault he had insisted on
coming to Bayville that Friday
night? Was it her fault that
Paul's being hurt had so upset
Suzanne she lost her head and
made scene?
The seeds from which her
troubles had sprouted, she real
lied nlplessly, had been sown
long ago. They had been planted
that day she looked up for the
first time into Bill Marshalls
blue eyes. She had Tilted Paul.
But nothing she could do-not
even her marriage to Bill-had
served to kill Paul's love for
her.
$50 now" her mind said, mis-
cradle, II ought to hate him.
Because he kept on loving me.
Because on his account, Bill and
I are torturing each other"
Driving into the now familiar
cantonmcnt, she did not see her
husband among the olive drab
ranks of waiting men who eyed
the incoming cars. us he sulk-
ing?" she thought. Her heart
sank. Jealousy did not wear off,
il seemed. 1t grew worse, more
deeply ingrained. "Oh, must
do something!"
A tall man waved to her.
Then he was coming closer. She
slowed down. She recognized
him now. "Have you seen Bill?"
II was Top Sergeant Moore, the
one Bill called "the top kick"
-Agsie Moore's husband.
'The fact Is, Mrs. Marshall, "
he said slowly. "Bills In the
guardhouse."
I'm the guardhouse?" All her
vague dread crystallized into
quick, leaping fear. But why?
What has he done? Is II SER
ious?"

self that unemployment and la
Dor problems have been solved.
For the first time In many years
he has no labor problems In his
own factory. The men have come
to him and told him they are "all
out" in the war work they had
undertaken.
There has been no wages and
hours problem. The factory
works three eight-hour shifts and
the wages are adequate. The
men have agreed on the old scale
but with the cost of living rising
they had been promised q bonus
to cover the differential.
A wise government has ap-
pointed controllers of all phases
of economy. When there was q
rush to hoard butter, the control
Ter stepped In. When there was
q shortage in bacon he regulated
the price. When rents started to
soar a rents controller said mo-"
John Canada has a financial
interest in block of flats. His
partner manages the property
and as the demand increased he
boosted the price. The tenants
appealed to the local rent con-
troller. There had been an open
hearing and because Of the in
creased cost Of operating the flats
the controller permitted an in
crease Of $3.50 on q $50 rent. The
tenants accepted il and 80 did his
partner and everybody went
away feeling good.
Just rs labor is not allowed
to capitalize on the war needs,
capital Is alsu held in check. John
has heen aba. to get many need-
ed improvements In the plant
and to modernixe some Of his ma
chinery, because the head office
knows it will lose most Of any
inflated profits under the corpor-
atoms taxes. There will be no
war millionaires arising on the
ashes of this war.
The exchange situation used to
irritate John. He felt Britain ano
her dominions were bearing the
brunt Of q fight which benefited
the United States nationally, in
ternationally, financially and
economically. Yet every war
need bought by Britain and Can
ada from the United States had
10 per cent tackled on as ex-
change.
Then had come President
Roosevelt's speech. John Canada
felt this was the greatest Christ
mas gift democracy had ever re-
ceived. It wasn't just a speech
by Franklin Roosevelt. It was
the voice of the American peo-
pie.
Johns irritation about ex-
change had been soothed by the
Presidents reference to the loan
of military equipment. There is
no exchange tax on a loan, no
war profit.

EXPORTS AT NEW.| .HlGHFOR WAR
Volume Due to Continue Large as Result of
 Shipments

The value of merchandise export ed from the United States rose in April to the highest figure so far attained during the war period, ac- cording to the Alexander Hamilton Institute. Exports were valued at $386 ,000, 900 in April as against $357, 0OOO0 in March and $323 ,000, GOO in April of last year. The increase over last year amounted to 19.5 per cent.
 The increase in export trade over 6 year ago in April as well as in March nearly offset the slump which occurred during January and Feb- ruary. Consequently, exports of $1, ,372, 00,0C0 in the first four months were practically as large as exports in the same period last year, when they were valued at $1,391 ,0OO, 900. This means that exports this year have been at 8 relatively high rate since exports last year reached the highest figure since the pre-dpres- sion year of 1929.
 The prospect is that exports of merchandise from the United States will continue to be maintained at high rate although many countries will not be able to use funds ac- cumulated in the United States since these markets have been closed by the war. It is evident, however, that a large quantity of goods, especial ly war materials, will be shipped to Great Britain. Since Great Bri- tain has at her disposal a large part of the $7,000, 100000 appropriated by Congress to finance the Lease-Lend Act, Great Britain will have no difficulty In financing the large supplies which she needs to import from the United States.
