is still a law in Holland against
what you have done. he went
on. 80 young lady, now have
finished my days run, you will

In thc~heart of Emma welled
up outraged indignation.
The man took her along the
darkened suburban street to a
house, at the fork of two roads
beyond the village. Here Emmas
captor stopped knocked three
times upon a vine framed door
This was opened by somebody
who did not show his face. Next
moment, Emma stood with two
men in a dim entryway, as the.
bus driver spoke;
Jan" he said. welcome

a brave girl. This night l saw
her dispose of one OF the enemy.

And so, Fastening, 1 must fin

Emma, the Emma who belonged

the Emma who was the flam-
ing spirit of that ring. and worth,
in her moments of remembering
and vengeance, half a dozen of
the men.
Details too precise l may not

functioning. But l do want to
let you catch a last glimpse of
the new Emma. the bright eyed
Emma, as she sat alone, in some
Dutch cafe, while paper stem
cilled with directions, was passed
to her beneath the table.
And Emma read and knew
what was the program.
one night she would read that

Neither have / accused her. Not
at all have l presumed to judge
her. 1 have told her story as
symbol of the times. A symbol
and, possibly, a warning. Per-
haps now might end it with her
words, spoken to friends who fl
nally received her in England.
"Of course the Germans take
revenge on Dutchmen for our
sabotage" she said. "Of course
Dutchmen have suffered. We
have to suffer
Then let us suffer gladly. For
only by our suffering, will Hol-
land again one day be free"

No matter how you may long TO evade
the subject, it is every mothers sacred
duty TO tell her daughter about physical
facts. And how much better it is to give
your daughter this vital information,
rather than TO let her acquire IT from
girls of her own age
Inregard TO feminine hygiene, she may
receive entirely the wrong impression
Facts may be distorted or wholly un-
true. Due 10 lack OF knowledge, many
brides use douches OF over-strong solu-

the ring had directions to fire
that consignment. And Emma
was one of the six.
Then with glee and ardor she
made her way to D armed
with incendiary grenades which
the Ring procured for its agents.
Sometimes on these assignments
she never saw the other agents
, with whom she worked. But
up into flames the storehouse
would go. And next day, over
the controlled radio, the Germans
would threaten double and treble
punishment, for each act of sabo-
tage.
In those days Emma's life was
full and exciting. One week she
hid. for forty-eight hours, a
young Royal Air Force pilot who
had come down in Holland and
been passed about. by patriotic
Dutch, till they got him safely
off to England. Another time
she arranged for British intelli-
gence officer to get into Cap
tain Keitzels rooms and go over
his official papers. When Cap
tain Keitzel was spending the
night with his sweetheart, he
could not be protecting his prop
erty, could he? AS 1941 was
dying, Emma CLEANED many
secrets from her lover. And
these, solemnly, she passed on to
the Intelligence Officer of her
Ring.
Yet for all these big efforts,
Emma found time for little tasks.
1t was sheer profit, she figured,
when passing by darkened win
dow. behind which German Off
GERS were playing cards, to throw
inside a hand grenade or two. If
these killed nobody at least they
helped keep the Germans nerv-
Gus.
Several times, again, when
there were parades in Amster-
dam, Emma stole few moments,
to throw down hand grenades, or
a stray knife, upon the Germans
marching. In her off hours.
Emma courted danger and in
vited discovery. But always she
was lucky.
Until that night of the muni-
, tions explosions.
That factory must be fired"
the word went out to the chosen,
young Dutch agents.
The evening was bright with
moonlight. The factory was
working through the night as
Emma and the other young sabo-
teurs. who had slipped in as new
workers, on forged credentials,
placed slow action bombs at six
strategic spots. They then es-
capped by a window, after ham,
mering the head Of a German
sentry. Five minutes after they
got away, the siren blew. Lights
many lights, burst into blossom
in the arms factory. And five
minutes after the siren, the
whole works, uprising on its
foundations, scattered to the
winds of heaven.
From a hill, a mile distant.
Emma van Eman exulted in the
darting, twisting flames. At the
last explosion, when the roof
fell with a million sparkling
jewels, Emma mounted her bi-
cycle and peddled away This
factory, it was the end. That
night she was off on her bicycle
for the border, stopping with
families along the way whose
names had been given her for
safe hiding. For the message
the girl had received in time, was
still in her pocket.
Don't return TO the hotel
Captain Won Keitzel suspects you
Here is your route and your di-
rections."

SuveyWi|| Determine
Availability Of Doctors
For Armed Services
Each Physician in US.
Will Be Quizzed on
Practice Preference

A survey will be started this week
In Washington and throughout the
Nation to determine the number OF
physicians available for the armed
forces and those who are essential to
civilian needs, 1t was learned last
night.
The local movement is in charge
of DR.. F.. x. McGovern, official of the
District Medical Society, who was re-
Gently appointed by Federal Security
Administrator Paul v. McNutt to be
chairman of the Procurement and
Assignment Service for the District.
The following doctors will serve In
an advisory capacity to DR.. NC
Govern: James Alexander Lyon,
James A. Cannon, Henry c. Macatee,
A. Magrauder Macdonald, Luther H.
\ Reichelderfer, William Thornwall
Davis, Henry r. Schneider, 1t. Col.
A. Clagett Gray, medical officer for
selective service in the District;
Theodore Wiprud. secretary of the
District Medical Society, and Will
liam c. Goines, representing the
Medicochirurgical Society OF the
District.
Questionnaires Planned.
The national Office of the Procure
ment and Assignment Service Will
mail next Wednesday to every physl-
clan in the United States question:
naire in which he is to indicate his
preference for military, govern
mental, civil service, Veterans Ad-
ministration, public health, indus
trial, defense area or civilian prac-
tice. Prompt return of the ques-
tionnaire will make it possible to
place physicians where they are
most urgently needed, 1t was ex-
planned. The questionnaires Will be
reviewed by local units of the Pro-
curement and Assignment Service,
which will make recommendations
as to where the physician might
serve to the greatest advantage.
1t. Col. Sam F. Seeley, executive
oficer Of the Procurement and As
signment Service, will speak to Dis
trict physicians April 20 at meet
ing In the auditorium OF the Dis
trict Medical Society building. He
will discuss the manner in which
physicians will be assigned.
SS d. c. Doctors in Services.
The District is already well rep
resented in the military services,
according to Mr.. Wiprud, who said
SO members of the society have been
ordered to duty with the Army. Navy
and Marine Corps. A considerable
number have notified the society
that they are awaiting orders and
expect to leave soon.
"As the number of physicians en-
tering the military services in
creases," Mr. Wiprud said. various
procedures may have to be adopted
to meet the medical needs of this
community. Consideration has al
ready been given this problem by the
Medical Society's Committee on
Military Affairs which is fully aware
of some of the difficulties which will
be encountered. The committee is
confident. however, that a solution
will be found as local physicians
have given splendid support to all
defense projects and have demon
strated their desire to do every
thing possible to assure the success
full prosecution of the war"

For Men in Service

Recommendations to make 1t
easier for soldiers and sailors to
vote in State and congressional
elections through absentee ballots

sentatives of the Justice and War
Departments.

American citizen.
The committee was composed of
Secretaries OF State Frederic w.
Cook Of Massachusetts,, Edward J.
Hughes of Illinois and Mike Holm
of Minnesota. Secretary of State
Thad Eure of North Carolina,
president of the national associa-
ton, also was present.
