 Exercise of German influence In the Argentine Is not new, despite the fact that British influence has been predomlnate. There was a German military mission in the Ar- genuine for 20 years, advising and instructing the Argentine army.

Hawkes., Presi. dent, Chamber Of Commerce of the United States.
 'The Inail-order houses of Amer. ica strongly support this plan, have voluntarily offered their services, and are devoting publicity space in their catalogs to the Defense Sav- ingS Program. We have confidence that whatever 1t takes in money, in men, and in sacrifice to defend America, the American people will rise to that emergency" - D. D. Richards, Treasurer, Mail Order Association of America.
 "This very day, this very hour. our most vital necessity is the purchase of Defense Savings Bonds and Stamps to furnish the money for the adequate arining of America. There must be no stinting in this unified effort.

Fred 5. Ferguson discovered, there is reason to believe that the amount In securities and jewels which has leaked through probably runs Into scores of millions of dollars.
 It is also c two-way funnel. If agents are. successful in getting stolen American securities or jewels from the occupied countries to the United States for liquidation, they must then get the money back to the German source. This Is general ly accomplished by various bank transfers, with the cash winding up in Swiss or Hungarian banks where Hitler, doering and company are said to be stacking up millions. Any guess as to how many millions will do. but It's a record loot.
 To start at the beginning, the Germans have, of course, had &C., cess to every safety box in France, Belgium, Holland and ali occupied countries. Securities and Jewels which have been taken, however, are valueless in Europe.
 The best place for liquidation of American securities is in the United States, and this holds true for jewels as we'll although there Is Q wider market for the latter.

A few months ago the German
bosses in Paris decreed that any
one who coughed or sneezed while
watching a neWsreel would be ar
rested and taken to Jail.
"A friend of mine had the f1u," the
Frenchman said. She coughed at
the cinema. In spite OF her protests
and obviously sick condition. she was

the next morning"
Hostages Only Coughed.
On August % the walls of Paris
were plastered with warnings that
all arrested persons. no matter how
minor or major their offenses, would
be liable to be held as hostages and
shot for acts of sabotage. The de-
cree was retroactive as of August
70, which gave the Germans a re-

mad committed no greater crime
than coughing in a cinema.
When the names of the first
hostages who had been shot were
pasted up on the walls and public
buildings Of Paris. the great hush
that filled the city could be felt
and heard as though every stone and
every living thing in Paris was
shouting protest" my informant
said.
In spite of the nonstop German
propaganda against the British.
French sentiment against Hitler is
now estimated at 100 per cent in
occupied France, with 90 per cent

men. Three British flyers also lost
their lives. The German orators
went into action about the brutality
OF the British in killing defenseless
Frenchmen. The day following the
funeral OF the seven workmen the
three British flyers were buried. The
cortege for them was headed by
the seven French widows wearing
full mourning crepe.
On another occasion when some
French railroad workers had been

Storm Troopers surrounded the
