cured inside information about our organization and are working type of blackmail scheme on Darwin Lemoy - the snapshot proves it."
 Dawson breathed a sigh of re- lief. This was break - beauty if ever he had one. John, of course, had lied to the girl :. unless the girl knew the truth and was deliberately lying to throw him off the track.
 Excusing himself, Dawson found phone, rushed through call to the Canadian Intelligence Bureau at Halifax, and queried the agent on duty about Paul Dexel. It was as he had expected = the man had simply laughed off all questions. They had nothing on him, he claimed, and he had no intention, it seemed, of alter ing that condition. In fact, the agent added with touch of sar- casm, the Halifax Bureau really didn't know enough about the case to quiz the prisoner ihtelli- gently. For that part they really ddin't have enough to hold him.
 'Okay, I'll attend to that part of 1t for you" Dawson said. T haven't time to go into detail but the plane should land at Dart mouth about 6:15. Which means that girl and I will likely be having breakfast together in the Nova Scotian Hotel between T and 7:30 in the main dining room. Now listen closely and do ex- actly what tell you :"
 For the remainder of the flight, Dawson stayed clear of the one topic in which they were mu- tually interested. Anyway, the girl seemed unwilling to chat.
 The plane was IS minutes late landing at Dartmouth, just across the habor from Halifax. In the airline autobus while crossing on the ferry, Dawson struck up con- verSation again.
 Would you care to have break fast with me?"
 She shook her head. No, the less see of you the better, al- though l suppose it is inevitable, knowing what you apparently do."
 That's right" Dawson smiled broadly, "It's inevitable. And since it's thataway, breakfast with me at the Nova Scotian."
 Very we'll" she said unen- ttusiastically.
 The hotel lobby was surpris- ingly busy for the early hour. Dawson ushered the girl into the dining room opposite the main entrance, and placed her so she was facing the entrance. He se- lected the chair at the four-place table that allowed him side view of the entrance.
 The girls eyes were fixed on him.
 You're strange man - lind

BREAKFAST IN HALIFAX
 CHAPTER XII

The motors broke into sullen roar and the big plane started down the runway to turn into the flare path. Clyde Dawson and Carole Fiske watched the lights of the Montreal airport sink away below them. Up and up they rose until the plane emerged into a mystic world whose dome was painted with moonlight and whose floor was sea of fluffy, rolling soapsuds.
 Did you really get the message for me from Darwin?"
 Darwin? For a moment Daw- son was puzzled = she was using the hanged mans real first name. Darwin Lemoy had died under the alias of Lemoy Statler.
 T did" he answered.
 Dawson reached into his inside coat pocket and withdrew a wal let. From it he took reprint of the snapshot given him by the con- den1ned man just before the death march.
 The girl took it from his hand and held 1t up to the moonlight entering the window.
 Dawson, watching her intently, suddenly felt the illustration all aren feel in face of feminine tears. Silently he saw her lower the pie ture and turn her glistening eyes to the window. He knew now that this girl loved Darwin Lemoy.
 Sharp on schedule, the TCA plane circled the Moncton, N. B., airport at 5:1O a. m AS it landed, Dawson leaned over to the girl.
 "Come along" he said gently, I'll buy you cup of coffee"
 Carole Fiske looked at him strangely. Then she unfastened the safety belt.
 ''Thank you, will" Tn the airport restaurant Daw- son waited until she had finished her beverage.

CIVILIAN:
Defense Plans

A recent blackout in San Fran
cisco, when unidentified planes were
heard approximately 80 miles west
of the Golden Gate, and 44-minute
alert was sounded, served to stress
the strides civilian defense was
making.
The city had been well BACKED
out in fifteen minutes, fire engines
moved to fires without headlights
burning, there was no panic, little
disorder.
At the same time it was an
nounced that civil air patrol would
be formed from among the 10000
qualified air pilots in the nation, of
whom about 1000 were women.
These would be given priorities on
planes and parts, and the patrol
would be made an adjunct to the
army air force.
The patrol, by watching for enemy
raiders, would free many Aneri-
can army planes and pilots for &C
tual combat in the war areas, it was
pointed out.

MISCELLANY:

Vichy: The Paris-press, controlled
by the Nazis, had sailed into Vichy
for failure to live up to collaboration
promises, and blamed the presence
in the government of American AM
bassador Leahy.
Hollywood: Shots rang out on the
estate of Irene Dunno, awakening
the actress. She investigated. One
of her armed guards had an argu-
ment with another, shot him through
the arm.
Fort Slocum, N. Y: The COM
manding officer got letter from a
private at a southern camp saying:
"Sir, wish to volunteer in a suicide
squad. I am now in laundry unit
which is non-combat. Just chance
is all / ask"
Washington: Newsreel camera
men had 20 minutes in which to
photograph Winston Churchill. They
had planned to ask him to feed the
White House squirrels. Instead he
put on and took off his "sirensuit,"
a coveral with zippered shoes which
he can don in two minutes. They
asked for no more.
Washington: The government an
nounced that quantity production
was to start on PAT, a new army
single-engined airplane, fastest in
the world. It is heavily armed with
large and small-caliber guns. 1t is
powered by the long-awaited 1000
horsepower motor which turns IL
foot four-bladed propeller, and has
Owed at $50 miles an hour.
Atlanta: Former Governor Rivers
and 10 others were indicted on fell
ony charges growing out of pro-
longed probe into his four year ad-
ministration. They were charged
with defrauding the state Of 5000, 900.

BATTLE STATIONS:

As the new session OF congress
opened President Roosevelt in deliv-
ering his message on the state OF
the nation outlined extensive plans
for the prosecution Of the war and
declared that u. S. '1and, air and

In addition, said the President,
Powerful and offensive actions

points in the Far East . on all

Greatest Sabotage

The most gigantic sacrificial
sabotage in world history was the
destruction of Russia's Dnieper
river dam by the Red army last
August, says Golfers. This great
hydroelectric project, which was
completed in 1882, required five
years to build and cost $780,
000, 1000.

HOME FRONT:
AU-Out Effort

From the announcement by OPM
that there was not a single work
stoppage in any war factory to the
report that all new-car production
and sale had been halted, it was evil
dent that we were really at war.
The ban on tire sales and the
subsequent rationing had been SIM
ply ascribed to the closing OF Pa
cifc raw rubber supplies, and peo-
pie shrugged their shoulders.
But the hating of new car produc-
ton, and the announcement by the
United States that the entire output
Of $50, 1000 units would not be enough
for essential needs such as cars for
physicians, fire departments, ambu-
lances, ETC., and that it would all
be needed for such persons began
to show the population what war
really meant.
Car owners began driving less and
less, to preserve their cars for long,
er periods, not knowing when they
would be able to buy another. Fac
tories and assembly lines were be-
ing revamped for tank and armored
truck production.
The "recapping" of tire, which
had been a mystery to most auto
owners now became a necessity and
places equipped to do this work
were doing a landoffice business. /.
Followed the announcement by a
senate group considering price con-
trolls that wages also would be con-
trolled. The wage control proposal,
however, was not to be thrown into
the hands of the same agency which
would have charge of price mainte-
nance.
Taxes up to half of the national
income were expected for next year,
and the $72, 600, 900 Vanderbilt estate,
which passed to the heirs, was
touched" for So, 000,0 900.
Sundays (said the OPM) were to
be the same as weekdays in all war

SINGAPORE:
Delaying Action

The British forces in Malaga,
though hurled back a long distance
from the opening Of the Japanese
onslaught, were slowing down the
enemy advance, and were fighting
delaying action of growing sever
ity.
Though the general movement
was southwark toward Singapore,
though Penang had been lost and
Kuantan was tottering, there were
certain hopeful indications that the
tide might shortly be turned.
One of these was the increasing
severity of Royal Air force attacks
on the Japanese lines, especially on
several southerly landing attempts
that had been made. Another was
the fact that the British artillery,
as their positions began to draw
closer to Singapore, began to find
something to shoot at.
Weird descriptive stories had been
told of Japanese swinging from tree
to tree like understood apes, getting
behind the British lines and causing
the fighting to become confused at
times. There was less Of this as
the battle lines became better
marked.
Late reports had told Of one jap
anese landing effort being baked by
artillery fire alone, with one trans
port and four barges sunk and the
others withdrawing

RUSSIANS:
NetU Obiectiue

Inc RUSSIANS, perhaps nuSneO
with repeated victories after long
defeats, perhaps in the calm reali-
cation that they had the Germans
on the run, were setting new and
seemingly grandiloquent objective
for the rest of the winter.
They would not be satisfied, they
said, until the fighting was taking
place on German soil before spring.
They had long way to 60, but
even with Hitler reported in per-
sonal command at Smolensk, only
80 miles from the nearest Russian
troops, there were many evidences
that large portions of the Ger
man army were in extremely pre-
carious positions.
The recapture of Maloyaroslavets,
a key point, the loss of which had
been keenly felt by the Russians in
the first place, was reported by them
to have trapped in giant pincers
10000 of the first-class Nazi fight
ers.
Surrender or die" was the grim
command of the Russians.
So much of an impression were
the Russians making on England
that many sources in London ex-
pressed the sober belief that third
front" would be created on the con-
tinent in the spring if the Germans
attempted new offensive againt
Russia.
London had been studying the
Russian technique OF using to the
fullest extent the disgruntled peo-
piles in the conquered territories
through which the Germans had
been passing in their far flung drive
toward Moscow and through the
Crimea.
Back of the Germans were mil
lions of murderously angry Rus
slams, Poles, Czechs, Greeks. Every
one of them, half-starved, beaten
down, were only too ready to con-
duct guerrilla tactics against COM
munication lines.
The British now pointed out that
this same formula existed in much
of western Europe. And they were
planning 10 use II soon.
LIBYA:
Although delayed from time to
time by bad weather, the British
forces in Libya, under command of
General Auchinleck, were keeping
well abreast of the enemy, constant
ly in contact with him.
Prisoners piled up after the final
completion of the conquest of Bar
dia, coastal town close to the Egyp-
tan border, which had promised to
become a pocket of resistance" of
as much trouble to the British as
their Tobruk garrison had been to
the German-Italian forces.
Combined air, naval and land
pressure was leveled against the
towns defenders, numbering 5000
men, 1000 split-off members of Cen
eral Rommels army under Major
General Schmidt, one of his top
ranking aides, and the remainder of
them Italians.
The South Africans finally won
the day after making a feint at the
Germans right flank, and, when
some forces from a more central
point were moved over to meet this
threat in force, six tanks shot
through a narrow alley and then
famed out behind the German lines.

lUNIFIED:
High Command.

OF primary importance, far out
shadowing the loss of Manila or the
Philippines, was the fact ID that
Churchill and Roosevelt had pledged
a frst-class effort in the southwest
Pacific area, and (2) the formation
of a group of Is nations to prose-
cute the war to a successful conclu-
sion and 60 the selection Of high
command comprising British, Amer
leans, Dutch and Chinese to carry
on the southwest Pacific war against
the Japs.
Gen. Sir Archibald Waven was
put in supreme command of the
armies, navies and air forces. Adj
miral Thomas c. Hart was subcom-
mander of the navies; Gen. George
H. Brett of the air forces, and Gen.
Sir Henry Pownan Of the land ar
mics.
This was the high command. Gen.
Chang Kai-shek's ability was rec
ognized and part of the strategy re-
vealed when he was asked to COM
mand an army that might at some
time be placed in the field at the
rear of the Japanese in Burma,
Siam or Indo-China.
A glance at the map Of the area
showed one lifeline" well open to
the Allied forces, and this included
a line from Darwin in North Austria
lila, along the coast Of Sumatra and
Java to the Strait of Malacca and
thence to Singapore.
This left a feet action the wide
South Pacific on one flank, and not
the island-dotted and treacherous
waters of the China sea to navigate.

PHILIPPINES:
Battle

OuttLC
General MacArthur's army of
close to 100000, mostly Filipinos and
ill-equipped with air protection or
striking force, finally had been
forced back along prearranged lines
to make their last stand in the hills
and to fall back slowly on their
best defensive fortresses to the north
of Manila bay.
Few believed that it would pro-
duce anything but delaying action,
but many hoped that the final and
apparently inevitable surrender
might be delayed until the complex
ion of the war in the Far East might
take a more favorable turn for the
Allies.
It was conceded by most authori-
ties, including the British, the Dutch,
and observers in Washington, ARM
chair" generals for the most part,
that there was scarcely a hope of
the American Filipino army tri-
umphing.
But if the Japanese should find a
heavy naval engagement on their
hands, or If the battle in Malaga
should turn against them, or if they
found their supply-lines cut by an
attack on their rear in Thailand or
Indo-C China, it was at least conceiv-
able that the Philippine battle would
turn the other way.
Sen. Connally of Texas had said,
when Manila fell, ''this is what mill
tary men have been telling us for
is years would happen if we went to
war with Japan. We don't like it,
but it was bound to happen"
If there was any expedition for
the relief or reinforcement of the
Philippines, it was closely guard
ed secret.
That there was activity was GER
tain. That the navy was busy and
hard at work also was certain.
But by the rules of wartime ne
cessity the nature of that activity
had not been revealed.
CHINA:
The Japanese, engaged in their
third effort of the four-year war to
capture important silk center
Changsha, capital of Human prov
ince, apparently were in another los
ing battle in which the casualties
were running into high figures.
The Chinese high command
claimed that $4,000 Japs had been
killed in two days of fighting out
side of Changsha, following an all
out effort by the invaders, heavily
supported by aircraft, to take the
city.
