Fortunes of War
 See-SoW in Libyo

NOWHERE have the fortunes of '! war shown themselves to be so fckle as in the campaigns that have taken place in Libya. British and axis forces have jousted for positions in this Northern African colony since last winter.
 The stamp above, showing a Roman legionary, was issued by Italy for the colonies in 1921, nine years after the territory now corn- prising Libya was conquered from the Turks and welded into one large state.
 Gen. Sir Archibald Wavelfs British troops last winter swept across Libya in spectacular drive. Opposing Italian forces were hurled back wherever they were encountered.
 With many of his troops dis patched to Greece to f&ht the Nazi invasion of Greece and Jugo- slavia, General Wavell was com- pelled to abandon his Libyan posi-" tions and British forces were driven back to the Egyptian bor- der by axis troops.
 Recently, however, Britis h strength in Northern Africa has been reestablished and the Em- pire's troops opened a new offen- sive against axis forces in Libya.

 Rollins pulled a whistle from his pocket and blew three shori blasts.
 Feet came pounding from the stern end. It was the sentry.

 He gripped Joan by the arm and led her through the door. In- side, he spoke to her for the first time. You are under arrest. Anything you say shall be held against you"
 Joan's face was white. She didn't answer.
 Colonel Stephenson listened at- tentively to Rollins report, glanc- ing frequently in the direction of the girl who sat with eyes on the carpet.

Blame 1t on infatuation, if you will, Sir :" Joan's head raised, and he felt her eyes on him, but the fact remains that I failed to follow orders by not reporting what now are shown as vitally important details which might have pre- vented Miley from being mur- dered and, possibly, Syd Tees.

 She lifted her eyes to his. "Yes."

 Rollins spoke without emotion T was going to put that in my statement, Sir.

There was no mistaking the fantastic truth Without a word, he wheeled around and left the girl staring after him in hurt bewildermentl
 There was blanket of moonless black over "A" deck and growing nor'wester was roaring endlessly through the rigging. Salty spray bit into Rollins eyes as he furtively watched the sentry shuttle along the slippery deck toward the stern. Quickly he slipped across to the lifeboat he had already selected, loosened 8 tarpaulin rope, and crawled under the canvas. The H. luminated dial on his watch told him it was 1155 D. m. He settled himself as comfortably as possible in the cramped quarters.
 The minutes dragged intermin- ably and the woo-o-o-o-ing wind off the ocean wastes added to the monotony. When again he looked at his watch 1t was l2.30 per- haps it would be false alarm after all and he tensed sud- denly as the door just down the deck began opening slowly
 A dark figure slipped out and glued itself like a dark smudge againt the deck wall for min ute. Then 1t moved like & cat to the rail.
 From his inch of aperture be- tween canvas and boat edge, Rol- lins saw brief light flashes! ., He waited no longer He ripped back the canvas with one hand and pulled out his service revolver with the other, but even as he vaulted from the lifeboat onto the deck he saw from a cor- ner of his eye a second dark figure break from the shadow of an emergency raft and rush toward the other at the raill
 For the merest fraction of a mo- ment his view was cut of by a section of the lifeboat. A revolver shot cut through the bowling wind! Rollins streaked around the lifeboat. One of the figures was sprawled on the deck -- the other bending over.
 "Reach!" snarled Rollins.
 Slowly the figure strengthened, holding hands outward. In one was small silver plated revolver. Greg snatched 1t and wheeled the figure around.
 It was Joan Davaar!
 
 Without saying a word, he smelled the barrel of the silver-plated re- volver. It had just been fired. He slipped 1t into a pocket and notion ed for her to hand him the con- tents of the other hand. Silently, she gave him small hashlight, curiously shaped.
 He pushed her aside and bent over the sprawled figure.
 Even in the meager light, Rol- lins could see the face quite plainly. Lieutenant Harry Miley

CHAPTER K

Early afternoon of the next day found the convoy riding heavy after-storm swell but the sun was shining again and Gregory Rollins felt 1t was a happy omen. For the first time in what seems ages he was cheerful. The old feeling of helplessness had been replaced by the quickening excitement that comes to a man on the verge of a dangerous adventure.
 While directing Bren gun crew in anti-aircraft drill atop the roof of the captains bridge, Rollins studied the "A" deck immediately below him and mentally drew up e plan for that night. Sounding for all the world like men beating with hammers upon a tin roof, the Bren rattled away at imag- mary Nazi craft. Sandbags sur rounded the gun, and the troops wore steel helmets as well as life belts and gas masks

Besides, he felt that he had grown to know the girl-really know her-and If, for no other reason, the prospect of bagging the real murderer and clearing any possible suspicion from the girls name held tre- mendcuS appeal.

BY winning their fifth straight
baseball duel, Western and Cooley
High Schools continued their tie
for top honors on the West Side in
the City League.
Western defeated Northwestern,
Az. while Cooley trounced Red
ford. 60.
Mainly on the strength OF their
pitching stars, Bob Hall for West
ern and Art Wilson for Cooley,
the two schools won. their first
four games to tie at the top of the
West Side. In winning the fifth
game, its other pitchers showed
impressive form.
Bruce Powell was the Western
star while Norm Curtis hurled for
Cooley. Curtis allowed only one
hit in the last six innings and
coasted to a 60 victory.
In the only other West Side
game Southwestern smashed out
a 1873 decision over u. of d. High,
with Bill Kish and Melvin st.
Holmes leading the attack with
home runs.
The only action on the East Side
saw Hamtramck defeat Northern,
Al. at Hamtramck. All other City
League contests were postponed
because of wet grounds.
