When she stepped off the British destroyer
at Harwich after her escape across the Chan
mel Wilhelmina possessed only jewel case
and the clothes she wore. Her first task was
to buy wardrobe but that, for Wilhelmina,
was not difficult. Although one of the world
richest women, with an income of S6,OOO,OOO
year before the present war, she has always
chung to the baggy suits and dresses that the
Dutch consider digni6ed. She has done her
own shopping in London, visiting store after
store until she found the garment she wanted.
A friend of mine was surprised to see her
recently in Harrod's, one of London's most
expensive shops. She followed Wilhelmina to
amark-down counter where the Queen selected
a Jersey suit of World War cut at bargain
price.

Beating a Technically

1HE Dutch Constitution DEGREES that the
seat of government must never leave Holland.
Wilhelmina has lodged this stickler by ruling
that 'the Dutch Government has taken tenn
borary headquarters at Stratton House, STRAIT
ton Street, London, w. l." BY the same
reasoning, the temporary palace of the House
of Orange is six-story yellow-colored Geor-
gian house on corner of Eaton Square, in
London's once-swank Belgravia.

and now and then Dutch soldier can be seen
puttering about in the basement area.
The inside of the house is almost shabby in
comparison with its neighbors. The entrance
hall is severely plain, without pictures or
flowers to brighten it. Wilhelmina is Cal
whist by conviction and practice, and flowers
are regarded as useless frivolities. On the

VHE march of Nazi terrorism over Europe
has made London the headquarters for
- refugee crowned heads. Norway's tower
ing King Haakon sits with his advisers at the
Norwegian Legation in residential Kensing
ton. Albania's King Zog and his Queen
Geraldine, chased from their homeland by the
Italians and almost overtaken in France by
the Nazis, now hold court in Piccadillys Ritz
Hotel Hollands Queen Wilhelmina and her
government carry on just around the corner
in building of converted fats designed
originally to attract visiting Americans.
Unlike her fellow monarchs, however
Wilhelmina still has something to rule over.
Holland is temporarily under Nazi domina-
ton, but this amazing sixty-year old lady is
still very much the ruler of vast, incredibly
rich territory sixty times larger than Holland,
with population of 10000. 900. Holland is
only the European territory of the sprawling
Kingdom of the Netherlands, which stretches
from Singapore to Australia. This loosely
connected but fiercely loyal Dutch Empire
third largest in the world in point of popula-
ton, has its political and spiritual center in
the person of the Queen. As long as she re-
mains free the Empire remains intact And as
long as she is free the Kingdom of the Neither
lands rich in oil, rubber, tin, ships and money,
will be at war with Hitler
No one knows this better than the Ger
mans That is why they made such desperate
efforts to capture her last May during the
first few hours of their invasion. And it was
to keep the Queen free as the symbol of the
independence of the Kingdom of the Neither
lands that the Cabinet prevailed upon her to
flee her country at the last minute and con-
tinue the war from London.

Raymond. who is appearing with
his own band at the Fox this week,
is the author of all those unusual

he gives his compositions are as
important as the manner in which
they are arranged and played. This
soft-spoken. rather shy maestro
described his method

VICHY, France, Feb. 6. UP)-
Admiral Francois Darlan left for
Paris by special train today with
compromise cabinet reorganization
proposals under which he would be-
come premier and Pierre Laval
would be made vice premier.
Darlan left Vichy at II 80 a. m
$3.50 a. m. CST) and was due in
Paris at $50 p. m. G0:30 a. m
CST.
IIe arranged to confer with Laval
tomorrow and submit to him the
new compromise plan which, it was
hoped, might provide the basis for
the return of Laval to Vichy and
resumption of relations with Ger
many.
Darlan would get control of for
eign affairs, as we'll as remaining
navy minister with control of the
fleet, and Laval would be given the
ministry of interior, thus gaining
control over police and provincial,
projects.
Gen. Charles Huntziger woulo
remain war minister and he, Laval
Darlan and Paul Baudoin, former
foreign minister, would probably
form four man inner csI1net.
Marshal Philippe Petain worked
Out this compromise plan last night

ters in hope of ending the long
deadlock which resulted from his

dismissal of Laval in mid-Decem-
ber.
1t was expected that Darlan
would confer at length with Laval
in Paris tomorrow and return here
in time for a cabinet meeting Sat-
urday at which definite decision
could be taken.
Petain under his compromise
plan would give up the complete
control he has had over the cabi-
net, for he has had no premier and
each minister has been responsible
to him personally.
But he would have as premier
in Darlan his own right hand man,
one in whom he repoSes complete
confidence, and Darlan, as we'll as
retaining control of the navy, would
take charge of foreign affairs.
The pro German Laval had
sought to make himself premier
and to choose his own cabinet. He
would have taken control of for
eign affairs, interior affairs and
propaganda. Thus he would have
controlled the censored French
press. Under the compromise plan,
propaganda control remained to be
allotted.

by way of Mekhili. The force pro-
ceeding along the Akhdar plateau
would join the main coastal force
at BARGE.
The italian retreat, now approxi-
mating a rout, was Speeded at
BARGE whence a railroad runs to
Benghazi. Royal Air Force planes
kept the railroad under almost con-
slant attack, however.
1t was not known whether the
motor transport which had started
to move westward from Benghazi
was taking soldiers and war equip
ment or only civilians. But doubt
increased here that the Italians
could stop their retreat and organ
ize any effective defense of Ben
ghazi.
There was doubt also whether
MarshCl Rodolfo Graziani could
spare any of his Tripolitanian
forces to aid the men fleeing toward
Benghazi. According to advices
here, Graziani had only about three
divisions, or $4,000 men, in his main
Tripolitanian army, and he needed
these to guard Tripoli and the
frontier of French Tunisia where
tens of thousands of French colon
ial soldiers would welcome an Or
der to march into Italian territory.

If the Italians defended the city
they would know that the British
left wing, moving across the desert
from the Mekhili zone, might cut
them off to the south between
Benghazi and Agedabia.
But even if they escaped, the

It was indicated that as in Libys
the Italian retreat in the Barentl
zone of Eritrea was approaching E

Mason Says Split
Turns Eritrea 10
Trap for Fascists
BY J. w. T. MASON
United Press War Expert

The British army operating in
Eritrea has split the Italian front,
making it difficult if not impossible
for the Fascists to develop a SER
ious stand against the increasing
British pressure. One part of the
italian force is retreating south
eastward toward the Abyssinian
frontier while the other severed
section is retiring eastward on As
mara, the Eritrean capital.
The British are now only 35
miles from Asmara. which could be
covered in less than two hours by
motorized units under normal con-
dltions. The roads, however, are
rough and mountainous, making a
motor advance difficult
Early capture of Asmara has now
become inevitable. Eritrea, the best
developed part of Benito Mussolini's
East African empire. is thus about
to disappear from the weak pro-
lection of the Fascist flag.
AS the retreating Italians reach
Asmara, they will find themselves
in very difficult position. Further
resistance in that sector will sub
ject them to the peril of surrender
or annihilation
If they continue to retire east
ward, in an attempt to defend the
port of MassaWa, Eritrea's princi-
pal exit to the Red Sea, they can
go only 40 miles before being block
ed by the shore. According to local
legend, it was near here that the
Red Sea opened to permit the pas
sage of the children of Israel, es-
Gaping from bondage; but there is
no such way of escape for the Fas-
clStS.
They might swing southwark.
along the coast, for a march of $50
miles to French Somaliland, at the
southern end of the Red Sea. Such
course, however, is bcset with
dl1ficulties of terrain and, also
would subject the Italians to bonn
bardment from British warships.

defense of the port of Massawa.
Once Asmara, the capital, has to
be given up, the retreat should
swing directly southwark along the
road to Adds Ababa, in AbysSinia.
Adds Ababa, Abyssinia's capital,
Is 400 miles directly south of AS
mara. The roadway is excellent,
having been put in first class con-
dition by the Italians, who used
1t for their principal advance into
Abyssinia when they subjugated
that country five years ago.
The Italians brought troops and
supplies from home to the port OF
Massawa, then sent them by rail
to Asmara. Thereafter, the FascistS
developed their offensive against
the Abyssinian capital.
Once Asmara and Massawa are
In British possession, it will be

ORCHARD SPRAY
NOTES GIVEN
Information Prepared by En-
tomologist at Experimental
Station; Data on Moth
SUGGEST SPRAY TYPES

During the early part of this
week Kent county fruit growers re-
ceived from the Office Of County
Agent Russell E. Wilson the seven
tn edition of orchard spray notes in
regard to the recommended insect
and disease control measures for
apple and peach orchards at this
season of the year. The informa-
ton contained in this edition of
spray notes was prepared by DR.. L.
A. Stearus, Entomologist, and S. L.
Hopperstead, Assistant Plant Path
ologist, of the Delaware experiment
station, and includes interesting
data concerning cooling moth en-
ergence and activities of the peach
curculio in this area. Although the
nights have been cool, weather con-
ditions in general have been rather
favorable for codling moth flight
and egg laying. The pupation of
over-wintered codling moth larvae
is now about completed, but the
emergence of the firSt-brood moths
has continued without interruption
since the first moths emerged on
April 20. The unusually dry wealth
er has been so unfavorable for de-
velopment of apple scab that this
disease should be completely under
control at this time. Due to this
dry weather most of the scab as
coSpores have not been discharged,
and for this reason, therefore, con-
siderable scab may develop if
period of prolonged wet weather
should prevail. In these spray
notes fruit growers were given the
options of using three different
spray combinations for codling
moth control and apple scab pre-
Growers have been eau
toned concerning sulfur for gener-
al use on apple trees when temper
atures are above 85 degrees Fab
renheit, and lime always should be
used with lead arsenate in this
state, as well as with all forms of
copper to prevent injury. Sulfur
and oil are incompatible, conse-
from two to three weeks
should elapse before either mater
ial is applied after using the other.
The second-over spray for peaches
should be applied twenty days from
and should consist of 8
pounds of sulfur paste, or 5 pounds
of dry wettable sulfur, to 100 gal
Ions of water.
