hitch-hiked back from the battle
area with a voluminous bedron and
clutching a priced memento-a sub
machine gun which Rommels men
had captured in their earlier often

captured by the British.

In U. S. A., Bridgeport, Conn.,
Martin could have driven himself
back in one of the scores of aban-
doned Axis trucks, but decided that
g. :5-tonner was a bit too large for
3 keepsake. We saw 60 of these
parked at one point waiting to be
picked up by the British after they
complete the pursuit of Rommel's
forces.
Among Martins souvenirs was the
Tiny deaths head insignia of Ger
man parachute trooper who had
been serving with the infantry.
THE first German prisoners I saw
looked like deaths heads them
selves," Martin remarked Some
Of the later prisoners looked COM
:oaratively fresh and well-fed, but
the first ones literally had been
through hell They thought the
German Army had taken Stalin-
grad, but believed it when we told
them otherwise.
"They expressed surprise at the
gigantic British strength and con-
stantly remarked to one another on
the masses of equipment moving
forward as they were being trans
ported to prison camps in the rear.
"One of them told me in broken
english, I never learned to speak
English because I was too lazy, but
I'll have plenty of time to learn
now"
Martin complained that the sound
of constant British gunflre and the
,-lasts of bombs dropped by British
and American planes had robbed
..im of much sleep, but showed no
signs that he had suffered any on
that account.
En- route back from the front,
Martin declared. he wiggled a
thumb at an approaching auto
mobile in the American hitch
hiker's traditional gesture. AS the
car came abreast, Martin suddenly
saw it was occupied by Gen. B. l..
Montgomery himself, whom he had
met many times.
Gen. Montgomery apparently mis-
took Martins signal for the
"thumbs-up" victory sign and re-
turned the salutation with broad
smile and drove on past.

information and the refusal Of draft
leaders to indicate future action
have led to the confusion of even
reasonable men," the response was
that they could always consult their
draft boards.
Busy draft boards, however, have
not always taken time to predict
whether man who questioned them
could expect induction in one month
or three. This may be taken into
consideration when draft boards are
called on to decide whether mar

fighting, Gen. Montgomery revised
his strategy.
With his great armored force, he
decided to concentrate his entire
striking power in one place and
break through before the enemy had
q chance to withdraw. This hap
,ened except that Rommel was able
10 get a small force moving west
ward before the entire Ell Alamein
line collapsed.
Vicious infantry attacks cracked
the line and then the ground
troops forced their way north and
south to widen the gap in the mine
fields and force the enemy to dis
perse his artillery over a wider area.
This gap became so wide and
the enemy artillery so thin as
consequence that 9th Army armored
forces crashed through the ring OF
Axis artillery, raced into the open
and divided Rommel's forces. One
group, riding Gen. Sherman tanks,
attacked Rommels armored forces,
while another headed for the coastal
road to cut off trucks evacuatlng
Axis infantry. At the same time
souadrons of South African ar
mored cars dashed south behind the
line to cut of the enemy concentra-
ton in the southern sector.
More armored cars and Bren car
riers rushed through the gap ana
turned south to help catch AXIS IN
fantry retreating afoot.
AS the Allied armored force moved
westward 1t dwindled IN size When
SQUADRON after squadron dropped
out to capture enemy camps just
breaking up in preparation for re-

Presidents reference to collabora-
ton with the Colonial forces, al
though this Government has ap-
pealed to the French to cooperate
with the American troops toward
the ultimate goal of freeing the
French colonies from the threat of
the Axis.
Mr.. Roosevelt told the Bey that
his expressed aspirations for the
welfare of his people, permit no
doubt of the speedy and favorable
outcome of our joint measures of
defense"
The President said he had not
ignored the terrible predicament
into which the brave Tunisian popu-
lation" had been thrown by the war.
And said that Tunisia was beset by
dangers on all sides.
The Tunisians, Mr.. Roosevelt
asserted, "are victimized by the
organized rapacity of the Germans
and Italians which has stripped the
Tunisian population of the barest
necessities of life, reducing it to
nakedness and want" He said he
had learned that the Italians and
Germans seek to occupy and COM
pletely dominate Tunisia and i'm
pose on the people "a condition
of misery to which, I am sure, they
will never submit"
Secretary of State Hull explained
at a press conference soon after
the Presidents messages were made
public that this Governments con-
fldence in the cooperation of the
Tunisian officials is based In part
on contacts during the last several
months by various American agents
and officials.
He indicated that the "organized
rapacity" through which Mr.. Roose-
welt said the Germans and Italians
had victimized the Tunisian people
was largely carried out through
Vichy-Axis collaboration. He said
it had been the Axis practice to
rake off from North Africa what
ever they could take from there in
the way of supplies, and said II was
difficult to identify all the various
agencies involved in the trade.
Large Italian Population.
In asking Admiral Esteva to de-
liver the message to the Bey, the
President referred to the admirars
own loyal efforts" since June, 1910
to stem the tide of Axis inflltration
in North Africa and to retain fol
France and the Tunisian population

Mr.. Roosevelt said he knew hi
could count on Admiral Esteva's un.

for France and determination tx

nation of its oppressors.

Impetigo, scabie and head lice
cause no deaths, it is true, but any
one of them can be major annoy
ance if it gains a foothold in a fam
lily or in a school. Disfguring
scars may be the ultimate result of
any of them if the scratching
makes open LESSONS and leads to
secondary infections. Besides no
one wants to play with a child suf-

Board of Health suggests that both
parents and teachers should watch
out for symptoms of all three of
these among children and apply
preventive measures before any of
them can spread, for, once started,
they may spread like wildfire. Per-
sonal cleanliness and not sleeping
with, or exchanging clothing with,
individuals who are infected or in

our day is story as heartwarming
as any of her own tales. The day she

had exactly fifty dollars, but courage
and a will to succeed were in their
hearts. fortunately" Mrs Norris
told Waxman," we were so consti-

ingly shared"
Shortly after her marriage she
entered a short story contest run
by a New York newspaper, and was
trilled when the paper accepted two
of her stories, and awarded her the
weekly prize of $50. From that point
on she devoted all her time to writ

slips were plentiful, she soon became
an established success.
Meeting Kathleen Norris"
writes Waxman, "you become in
stantly aware that you are in the
presence of a real person whose fun
damental aim in life is serious one.
But her very genuine sense of humor
completely disarms and delights
those who might believe that a
serious aim in life must be expressed
by a prosy personality. Kathleen
Norris is the very antithesis of that.
A charming companion, beautiful,
witty tolerant and generous, she

pressing happiness but also for i'm
