MONTREAL. June rs Capt A. A,
Mason Of Les Fusiliers de Mont
Royal, who escaped from a German
internment camp after being taken
prisoner at Dieppe in August, 1912,
said in copyright interview with
the Montreal Standard today that
"if you can believe DR.. Paul Schmidt,
Nazi foreign press chief. German
leaders know they have lost the war
and now are fighting only what they
term an honorable peace"
Capt. Mason, now on active duty
in Canada, said he talked with DR..
Schmidt while In the internment
camp and asked him II he did not
realize that with America In the
war and the growing might of the
Allies you cannot VIM"
Capt. Mason said DR.. Schmidt
answered:
I'VE came close to losing the war
in 1910 when we missed out by not
invading Britain. We did not know
how thoroughly France was dis
organized. If we had known we
would have gone on and the war
would have been over a long time
ago.
However, we might still win
Stalingrad will fall to us within the
next two weeks and we can then deal
death blow to Russia.
Our African armies will go on
from Ell Alamein and take all Egypt
for us and open the door to India.
America is strong but she Is tied
up In the Pacific, and Britain will be
finished before sufficient aid can
reach her"
Capt. Mason said he asked DR..
Schmidt what would happen If
Stalingrd held, and Marshal Erwin
Rommel should be chased back In
Africa. He said DR.. Schmidt re-
piled:
IF that happens we will have
lost the war and will continue fight
ing only so that we might obtain an
honorable peace"

that the experiment to see whether

Nazis Exaggerate Losses.
AL day the Naz radio blared ex-

that II Flying Fortresses were shot

Five Nazi Planes Downed.

Belgorod area, the communique
said. In these, Ave German planes
were said to have been downed
without the loss of single Russian
craft.
The principal ground activity was
on a sector of the central front west
of Moscow where Russian scouts
were said to have broken through
barbed wire defenses into German
trenches, killing number of the
enemy and taking some prisoners.
The Germans brought up REIN
forcements and tried to surround
the Soviet scout detachments but
were unsuccessful" the communique
said. The scouts beat off two con-
secutive counterattacks and the
Germans retired to their initial po-
sitions under the cover OF machine
gun fire"
. The communique added that the
scouts obtained important infor-

On the Leningrad front snipers
were reported to have killed 80 Ger

about company of German troops
in the last five days in addition
TO demolishing five dugouts and
silencing two enemy artillery bat
teries and two machinegun nests.
Despite the lack of notable devel-
opments in the ground fighting,
the Russian army newspaper Red
Star said that changes might come
at any hour and warned all Rus
slams to be on guard.
The Soviet noon communique yes
terday said Russian troops broke
into Finnish trenches on the North

and wiped out about company
of enemy troops.
The midday bulletin told of two
German thrusts, a reconnoitering
attempt in the Sevsk area southwest
of Orel and an attempt to cross the
Donets River south of Balakleya,
which it said were beaten off with
heavy losses.

Alpha Chi Omega
Work in Aid of
War Effort Told

Sorority girls find it hard to get
together these days for cat sessions
and club meetings but keep busy
with their studies and war activities,
according to Miss Mildred Anderson,
president of Alpha Chi Omega,
American University.
More and more co-eds are working
in the evenings at the Red Cross, as
plans for interfraternity proms and
similar events are being dropped
from their calendar. Miss Anderson
pointed out. Part-time jobs in the
day fill up what free time they have
then.
Miss Anderson, for instance, is a
clerk-typist in the military liaison
section, Red Cross. Many girls are
assistants in the university. which
has moved number of classes to
Nineteenth and F streets to make
way for several agencies, including
the Navy Bomb Disposal School,
One Alpha Chi is with the Selective
Service, another teaches art at the
National Training School for boys
Others, concentrating wholly on
classes and home work, plan to be-
come working girls during the long
Christmas holidays. Programs are
being pushed in order to get the
girls out and more fully into the
war effort
The national sorority's war prof.
ects have included collection of
$4,000 for a hostel in England for
bomb-shocked children. Funds also
have been used to equip commu-
nifty nursery in a Detroit area.
In more individual way the local
Alpha CHS are chipping in. They
are busy making blankets and
sweaters to donate to the Red Cross
on March l. According to the soror-
itys tradition that day is especially
reserved for good deeds.
In addition the local members
have obligated themselves to orient
ing their sisters from out-of town
chapters to the ways of the Capital.
Employed here, these girls at first
feel lost and more often than not
wind up at the local sorority house.
The local Alpha CHS help them get
settled and generally show the girls
the ropes
It's a wonderful feeling to know
that everywhere there are girls just
like YOURSELF! the president ex-
claimed.
