A BRITISH PORT, July 2S.-The
greatest mass movement of war
prisoners ever undertaken by boat
has been accomplished without a
hitch. despite Axis efforts to sink
the ships that we're carrying their
own soldiers out of the Mediter-
ranean war zone.
An Allied convoy transporting
thousands of German and italian
prisoners from North Africa to Brit
ain recently beat off both German
submarines and air attacks on the
way.
The targets, of course. we're the
big troopships. none of which were
so much as scratched. but it gave the
prisoners some weary moments of
action they did not bargain for
being fired on by their own guns
after they no longer were of any
value to the war machine.
No High Officers.
The exact number of the captives
was not disclosed, but there were
many Thousands of them. Some
idea of the size of the convoy might
be indicated by the fact that un-
loading required three days.
All the ships did not come into
the same port. but one transport
after another pulled into position
here like cattle trains to disgorge
their passengers. The prisoners were
taken ashore in groups of so and
escorted to waiting trains which
scattered them to various camps
throughout the country. There were
no officers above the rank of ma ior
While there was no sign of dis
order among the prisoners, ranging
in age from II to 70 Cthere was
actually one italian reported to be
aged 70, glaring difference was
no,ed in the attitude of the Ger
mans and the Italians who were
moved on different ships.

majority had a broad smile for

Here, they appeared restless and
chagrined under a heavy guard of
tough-looking British Tommies.
They were deeply tanned and had a
fine physical appearance, but there
was little conversation among them

Gagged animals following orders.
The first German off one ship was
typical of the majority. He was a

They don't look as hard and

they look a hell of lot meaner."
Virtually all the Nazi prisoners
wore fine wrist watches, and heavy
rings of which not nearly so many
were noted among the Italians. One
panzer division major sported a
monocle.
Correspondents were not permitted
to interview any prisoners.

Before boarding the train another

officers and said: Thank YOU for
your Kindness He then gave them
a snappy American salute.
1t was an entirely different picture
with the Germans.
All of them were much better
dressed, but their actions seemed to
radiate the hatred that Naziism
taught them to hold for the Allies.

LET US NOT FORGET

(Des Moines Qowa) Register)
Those who cannot remember the past
are condemned to repeat it.-Santayana.
International anarchy led to World
War One After few poorly supported
attempts 10 build an organized peace, the
world slipped back into international
anarchy again. And 21 years from the
peace treaty, World War two started.
There's no particular reason this sort
of thing shouldn't go on foreever-un-
less we do something about it.
The revolution in transportation and
communication is only hundred years
or so old-less than that for the air
plane-but so far the chief difference it
has made is that wars can be fought on
a larger scale.
Nevertheless, it has introduced new
element. An international police author
ity is now technical possibility. The on
ly obstacles are human. Gallup polls in
both Britain and America, the historic
homes of splendid isolation show that
IA per cent of the voters in each nation
are willing to make a serious effort to
overcome these obstacles.
But we mustn't forget too soon, as we
did last time, or we shall be condemned
to repeat" again.

FROM ASHES RISE
BETTER STRUCTURES

SO often in life, what appears as cat
astrophe many times proves to be boon
and those things which at first blush be-
long under the liability heading end up
by evolving into an asset of great value.
The heated dirty linen" debate be-
tween Vice-President Wallace and RFC
Head Jones, unpleasant and unsavory
as it has been, gives promise of produc-
ing a real asset from the smoke and ashes
of the controversy. From the conflagra-
ton of inter-agency dissension now has
sprung a new and effective agency with
apparently centralized planning and op-
irrational powers which should improve
government operation, expedite results,
and be twice as efficient as the old and
only partly effective setup.
The rather widespread and persistent
claims that too many agencies had too
little or too divided powers, was con-
firmed in the initial guns of the Wallace
Jones battle, when Wallace as head of
the Board of Economic Warfare, said Mr..
Jones wouldn't carry out the orders OF
the board. And Mr.. Jones, in turn claim
ed that the orders of the BEW were fool
ish or otherwise wrong.
Here before the public gaze was an
evident instance that power and authority
in field of very important action, was
divided with each agency involved able
to veto the acts of the other. The result
was stalemate, inaction, and resultant
harm to the war program.
President Roosevelt re-enacted the his
torical Gordian knot story, when he was
cutting through the trouble with his
sword of power rather than try and undo
the unpleasant tangle. His action is COM
mendable, because from the incident
arises a new agency, the Office of Eco
nomic Warfare, in which is centralized
the power to plan and to operate. All
of which is as it should have been year
and half ago.

they did in nylons and silk.
Don't apply it unless your legs

ONLY must you use an abrasive or

but for best results in applying the

your legs each day with creamy
lotion, so that the skin will be
smooth and soft.
And be careful to avoid smudging
your freshly madc-up legs before
they dry. Treat them with all the
Difference you do a new manicure.
If you find that the liquid hose
make your legs look larger, without
seams to slenderize them. do as
