both my hands in welcome to Salt

He had small, beady eyes and he
peered at you from behind trimmed

his law practice slide and was de-

time to the writing of patriotic

The other man was more than

large nose and blazing brown eyes.

man of action, tough as rawhide.

mess is for an armed uprising to
get going. Everyone here has guns
and pistols. l myself have five-two
pistols, two rifles, one shotgun. "
Stokes, the cautious and careful
one, said he had heard" that
guerrilla bands would be formed
in due time which would raid adj
joining towns, while viligantes from
adjoining towns would "clean up
the Jews of Salt Lake City.

General Giruud

Without regard to any political
consideration, General Henri Giraud
is welcome to Washington as a gal
liant soldier. The story of his career
reads like romantic novel. No other
commander of his time has passed
through greater variety of expert
ences. At the start of the First World
War he went to the front as a cap
tain. During the Battle of Guise
he was wounded and taken prisoner.
Five attempts on his part to escape
were unsuccessful, but a sixth effort
was more fortunate. He returned to
France to share in the Battle of
Malmaison.
The prevailing struggle, curiously,
brought General Giraud a second op-
portunity to prove his genius for get
ting out of German prisons. He
was in command of the French Ninth
Army in May, 1910, when enemy tank
forces cut off his retreat. Remem-
bering his previous exploit, the Nazis
locked him up in Koenigstein Castle,
built on the top of a mountain twelve
hundred feet high in Saxony. For
eight months he labored to create q
rope from strands of silk smuggled
to him by his wife. When 1t was
sixty-five feet long, he employed it
to lower himself from tho tower In
