French Show Germans
What Red Tape Really Is

LONDON.-French civil servants
are competing with one another to
''misdirect orders, muddle COM
mands, and lose instructions, a
newspaper in German occupied
Paris complained in an article
quoted by the British Broadcasting
corporation.
The newspaper described the
methods as new kind of sabo-
tage" and said they were being en-
ployed by all civil servants, ''high
and low alike"
THE chaos which results is
caused by the fact that these people
(civil servants) are Marxists, De
Gaullists, democrats or Christians
influenced by Jews-or all these
things at once" the newspaper
said.
The British Broadcasting corpo-
ration did not name the newspaper.

percentage of it's 1044 quota by
Dec. 81 than Delaware. Command
er Jackson accepted. The stakes
were 20 pounds of Nevada deer
jerky," Ia dried deer meat) and 20
pounds of oysters.
Delaware Increases 1000
Edward A. Mulrooney, national
vice-commander of the Legion, re-
ceived wire from Colonel Miller
informing him Nevada had 90 per
cent of its 1914 quota by Dec. 81.
He was under the impression the
Delaware department could not
beat this standing. He asked Null
rooney to have Commander Jack
son rush on the oysters. Inkerman
Bailey, adjutant of the Delaware
Department, however, has notified
Colonel Miller Delaware received
more than 100 per cent of its 1914
quota by Dec. 81, and has asked for
the deer meat.
