As Hostage to Replace Giroud

By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-Gen.
Maxine Weygand, Allied gen
eralissimo before the fall OF the
French Republic, has been ar
rested as a hostage to replace
Gen. Henri Giraud in Koenig-
stein Fortress at the direction
OF Joachim von Ribbentrop, Ger
man Foreign Minister, accord
ing to reliable information
reaching New York from Europe
today.
Gen. Giraud escaped from the
Nazi prison late last spring, then
went to North Africa where he
joined American troops at the head
OF q ffghting French column when
Algeria was invaded.
Won Ribbentrop, according to
these advices, informed Marshal
Petain, French Chief of State, in q
letter, that Gen. Giraud's depar-
ture meant he had broken q promise
to Germany. Consequently, Ger
many could no longer accept the
word Of any French officer and
would therefore take Gen. Weygand
into custody to play safe.
Gen. Weygand left Marshal Pc
tain's house with his wife and son
In Marshal Petain's motor car the
night OF November IL. The car
was halted. five miles from Vichy
by Gestapo car blocking the road.
Gen. Weygand's son returned to
Marshal Petain and told the mar

Gen. Petain nodded affirmatively
and replied he had just been
informed by a letter from Won
Ribbentrop which arrived a few
minutes after the Weygands had
Gen. Weygand had first been ar
rested by French authorities for "A

with Marshal Petain to return home

Gen. Weygand was cautioned five

making it impossible for the Ger
mans to reinforce Field Marshal
Erwin Rommel and in all probability
likewise making it impossible for
them to gain and hold a secure
footing in Tunisia.
1t is quite likely that our own
offensive in the Solomon Islands
helped the Russians by preventing
the Japanese from launching an
attack on Eastern Siberia, which
they certainly intended to do this
summer Now, as both Germans
and Japanese find themselves COM
PEELED to deal with the consequences
of fresh defeats, it may well be that
these facts will open new gates of
opportunity for the Russians.
There are, at any rate, some signs
that this may be so. The Germans
are making no progress at Stalin-
grad, and In the North Caucasus
the Russians appear to be on the
offensive. Let us reverse our pre-
vious point of view on the cam
paign in the North Caucasus.
Nazi Losses High.
We have been accustomed to
examine it from the standpoint of
a German offensive with one arm
trying to push down the Black Sea
coast toward Tuapse and Battum
while the other tries to batter its
way into the Grozny oil fields and
to seize the approaches to the great
Georgian Military road at Ord
zhonikidze
In this last operation, however,
q smashing defeat has just been
inflicted on the German Army with
losses reported as high as 10000.
The Russian counter offensive ap-
pears to be continuing and even to
be gathering momentum. It is to
be presumed that the Russians are
drawing their strength from trans
Caucasia and also from Russian
Turkestan, by way of the Caspian
Sea.
Both Caucasian and Turkestan
troops are of the highest quality and
have traditionally been among the
best elements in the Russian Army.
1t is quite possible that, with sup
plies and equipment flowing in by
way Of the Persian Gulf, the Rus
slams may now be able to build up
stronger forces in the Caucasian
area than the Germans, with their
new anxieties and responsibilities in
Southern Europe, can bring there to
oppose them. Should this prove to
be the case, the results may be of
considerable Importance.
Gen. Patton's Theory Cited.
1t is a favorite observation Of Maj.
Gen. George S. Patton. who now
commands the American armored
forces in North Africa, that the
whole art of offensive warfare con-
sists in holding your enemy by the
nose while kicking him in the seat
of the pants.
If we consider the Russians in the
Tuapse sector as holding the Ger
man Army in the North Causasus
by the nose, let us speculate on what
will happen if the seat of the Ger
man pants in the Nalchik area is
kicked sufficiently hard.
The Germans would have to re-
tire westward along their main line
of supply, the Rostov-Baku rail-
way. This would expose their ad-
vanced elements north of this rail-

Count Won berchioId
Dies al Castle Near
|Sopron, Hungary
Served as Foreign Chief
When Steps Against Serbs
Touched of World War

A German broadcast reported
yesterday that Count Leopold Won
Berchtold, 70, foreign minister Of
Austria Hungary when its declara-
ton of war against Serbia touched
of the World War, died Friday
night at his castle near Sopron,
Hungary. !
Count Won Berchtold held posts in
Paris, London and Petrograd before
the war. He left the diplomatic
corps in 1905 to devote himself for
year to the management of his
estates in Moravia, but returned the
next year to become ambassador at
Petrograd.
During the period spent in Russia,
Count Won Berchtold worked for an
Austro- Russian rapprochement, but

zegovina, carried out in 1908 by
Foreign Minister Count Aehrenthal,
destroyed the fruits of his labors
although he still continued his ef-
fort to bring about better relations
between Russia and Austria Hun
gary after his recall from Petro-
grad.
Following the death in 1912 of
Count Aehrenthal a few hours after
Emperor Franz Joseph had accepted
his resignation, Won Berchtold was
appointed foreign minister, and
when signs of an impending Balkan
war multiplied, he took the initia-
tive in bringing about an exchange
of views among the powers.
After the first year of the World
War, Won Berchtold resigned as
foreign minister. He entered the
army and served for time on the
Italian front. In 1916, however, he
entered the suite of the heir to the
throne, the Archduke Karl, and
when the latter became emperor,
Won Berchtold was appointed to an
post at court which he
held until Karl Sabdicated.
Won Berchtold later accompanied
the former emperor to Switzerland
where he lived for a time. Later
he returned to Austria where he
spent his time in his native Vienna
and on his Hungarian and Moravian
estates.

BY JACQUES FUTRELLE, Jr.,
Travel Editor.

Travel Editor.
Recently, the Travellers Notebook
interpreted the present basic gaso-
line rationing system in terms Of
travel to resorts, explaining that by
foregoing incidental driving, plus a
little headwork and proper timing,
q vacation range Of 200 miles is
possible, at least theoretically, even
for the car owner who Is required
to drive to and from work. The
accompanying map gives visual as
sistance in working out vacation
plans under the A book, which en-
titles each motorist to l 900 miles of
incidental driving a year.
The theoretical" qualification
concerns the condition of the cars
tires, qualifying for and actually
being granted such extra occupa-
tional gallonage as is required, the
ability to get gasoline from filing
stations, frugal use Of the car for
other incidental motoring and ones
own conscience about using tires IN
the face Of pleas to save ruhl,er..
Relative to the last named handicap,
solely mental, 1t should be noted that
no high-placed Government oMcial
has yet said that q vacation trip
q Civilian filrlough" that builds
morale-is non-essential.
The map concerns itself only
with the driver who must use his
full 1880 miles Of occupational
driving supplied in the A book be-
fore he is entitled to extra rations.
The range of the motorist who has
the full 1880 miles in the book for
incidental driving-which can afford
a round trip of 480 miles if prop
erly timed-is not presented.
The timing factor enters the pic
ture for the man with only 1000
miles If he is planning a highway
journey to resort more than 100
miles away. Then, If he obeys
strictly the mileage apportionment
for occupational and non-occupa-
tional uses, part Of the trip must be
made on the second page Of cou-
pons In the A book. This second
page does not become valid for gaso-
line before September 81. In such
cases, the outbound trip would be
made on the first page OF coupons,
before they expire, and the return
made on the second page.
Note the map, with its three cir
cles. One Of these has a radius of
80 miles; another, 120 miles, and a
third, 165 miles. The mileage of the
two inner circles-the 80 and 100
are airline miles, not highway miles.
The actual road miles to a point
must be determined before starting
out on ones rationed supply. The
165-mile circle encompasses cities
and resorts within an actual 200
highway miles, approximately the
maximum trip possible If the occu-
pational driving coupon are used for
workday purposes.
| X X X X
With bit of figuring, the motor
ist may prove to himself that he can
make vacation trip to a resort
within 80 miles, 120 miles or zoe
miles, If his car yields the IS miles
per gallon estimated under the
OPA's arbitrary figure. Stop lights
non-progressive driving and lack OF
motor efficiency may cut the actua,
distance possible. The motorist
should make these allowances
