acting-that is, under the circumstances,
If he was a prisoner. This is not actually
the case, in strict sense of the word. He
lives in the magnificent Laeken Palace
near Brussels. He would never be ac-
tually denied freedom to go anywhere
He might assume the authority to con-
stitute new government on the grounds
that his government had deserted him.
But say members of the London gov
ernment. Leopold has Loyalty played the
game. He is the one prisoner of war who
insists on remaining one. He was cap
tured with his army and takes every pre-
caution to remain captured"

tells Won Falkenhausen. Il am Belgian

private soldier taken prisoner"
Protests to Hitler.
Only once, so far as is known, has he
departed from this role little when, in
moment of indignation a few months
ago he wrote personal letter to Hitler
protesting over deportation of Belgian
workers to Germany. But he signed it
as an individual, not as King of the
Belgians
The difference may be theoretical at
present, Belgian leaders here say, but has
great potential consequences. In Norway
and France for instance, German puppet
governments have been set up for whose
acts some pretense of legality may be
made after the war. This may make
settlement OF estates, ETC., quite COM
plicated when persons claim that they
purchased property in good faith under
an existing government. The claims will
not hold water but they will make a lot
OF business for lawyers and may lead to
many injustices. The Belgian ministers
believe they have forestalled any such
situation.

so cooperative that he requires only five

under his control, to keep 1t In order

away in the Rue Traversiere Is set up
the Geheime Staat Polizei, whose special
job is to track down espionage and
sabotage. Then come the "feldgendar-
merle usually referred to as the
"cognacs," who form a network all over
the country. They are supposed to be
strictly under the generals command,
The reason for the nickname is that
they wear suspended by chains around
their necks metal tags very similar to
those which used to be attached to bot
ties OF especially fine cognac.
M. Romsee has organized in addition
to these German police two or three
separate Belgian forces besides his para
militaires" or party police, strictly after
the Nazl model. They have not done so
we'll the factory foreman who was
saboteur leader says. Several of his chief
collaborators were policemen who were
supposed to be Romsee's men. They
went around In uniforms allegedly hunt
ing Tor traitors during the day. At night
they gathered in secret hideouts and
helped make bombs. These saboteurs
nave been able to do lot of damage.
One OF their specialties has been blowing
up dams along the Meuse near Liepe.
where there are enormous German mower
plants to supply electricity to the great
industrial city of Aachen a few miles
away.
saboteurs Block Canals.
With the activities of the British train
busters over the continent the Germans
nave come more and more to relv on
canals and small rivers for TRANSPORT
The saboteurs have developed to a fine
art tricks of sinking barges in these
canals so that all traffic is blocked for
days.
Inc sabotage work is well organized,
AS Tor any other secret organizations
IN Belgium little can be said at present
The country is so small that the slight

or BLACK Corps" The existence of this
organization already is known to the
enemy and several of its leaders have
been caught and executed.
The saboteurs have done magnificent
job, it is reported here, in demolishing
the so-called belle fleurs," or coal mine
derricks, which cover the countryside
around Liege. They are able to put
mines out of operation for months at
time. Several times the city has been
punished as a whole for their acts-by
heavy fines and by stringent curfew
laws. Last winter, for example, nobody

Striking up from Australia, other

Darwin and possible source of danger
to Australia, but also stepping stone
in the reverse direction pointing toward
elimination of the Japs in the Dutch
East Indies.
A surprising thing occurred recently
when a substantial task force of the
United States Navy sped up the "slot"
from Guadalcanal and penetrated deep
into Japanese dominated waters at
Santa Isabel and in Shorthand Island
and Bougainville areas.
Whether the fleet was especially adept
at concealing its movements or whether
the japanese forces were unexpectedly
weak, there was no resistance and no
sign of Japanese naval vessels. The
exact date and the objective of the patrol
was not revealed
The land fighting in the Burma area
was practically static during the past
week but Allied aircraft kept up their
unceasing hammering of japanese bases
in the Rangoon sector
At home in Japan, Minister of State
Fumio Goto warned the japanese people
that they now are facing an unprece-
dentedly grave situation, an official
statement from Toxic which for once
nobody in this country will dispute.

ers before placing applications for
rev trucks.
Under state board and national
regulations, information regarding
availability of used trucks had to
be obtained and included with APP
plications for new vehicles.
The bulletin issued by Dave Da-
wilson, chairman of the California
board, declared that an inventory
report of the county boards would
be accepted. This would eliminate
many trips to dealers to determine
whether used trucks are available.
The suggestion of the Imperial
board was made early in December
after several applications had been
returned due to lack of such infor-
nation.
c. H. H. Small, representative of
the county board, said that the in
ventory will be made every month
and will be available to farmers at

cations for new farm trucks they
