of . grim drama that II being
acted at this moment far 70 the
north In the wastes Of the Sahara
Four French officers, fleeing
from Q city In North Africa
which ! cannot mention, have set
out across the trackless desert
to reach this land Of the jungle
where Frenchmen are still free.
The Vichy government has
learned Of their flight and the ra-
do Is now buzzing with it, or
ders to halt the flight ut any cost.
Whether the fugitives will
reach their goal only the white
Sahara can decide. But II they
die, other heroic soldiers will set
out to take, their places.
THEY ARE The
CREAM OF FRANCE"
] have known many fine
Frenchmen but never French
men like these. They are the
cream Of France - unselfish, de-
voted. Their only goal Is the saw
ing of their country and the pre-
servation Of their cherished LIB
berty, Equality and Fraternity"
They are rebels, every one of
them, against the government In
Vichy. Many are under sentence
of death. But they are rebels to
whom ! can only compare the
rebels who established the
United States at Valley Forge
and Ticonderoga.
Completely cut off from the
world, working with nothing,
they have accomplished miracles.
They have made airplanes out of
broken parts and military radios
out of tomato cans and q few
scraps Of wire.
Every day troops are leaving
here bound for the front. But
there are many others waiting
for arms. They ask me a little
wistfully-these men who want
to make France live again-n
America will not send them q
few arms to equip these troops,
who are so eager to fight.

The new rents will be:
$3.50 for one-bedroom dwell

The new rentals will be effective
