Quoted hundreds of miles through
Japanese lines to safety.
The Chinese military authorities here
say that in peacetime 80 per cent OF
China's guerrilla forces would be peas
ants or students. Students constitute
80 per cent of the force and peasants so
per cent.
Since the reorganization, China's
ghost army receives regular military
rank, the highest that of lieutenant gen.
eral, and is organized like regular mill
itary base.
Most of the guerrilla forces possess
radio sets and receive orders in secret
number code which has apparently baf-
fled the best brains of the Japanese
Army.
Accounts Of the casualties inflicted by
the guerrillas have often been exag-
gerated. The high command has made
available to the Associated Press its
own records which modestly claim that
since the outbreak of war to the end Of
November. 1942, the guerrillas have
killed 33,282 Japanese and lost 3S,042 in

ventured the bit of useless information
that any kind of cigarettes cost 100
francs-$2-in Corsica. Grandpa and
Mohammed were indignant over the sad
fate of their fellow Frenchmen. Both
hoped the Germans would be mas
sacred. They we're responsible, was it
not true, that cigarettes cost 81 a
pack in Corsica.
Mohammed talked very fast. I didn't
understand word he said. Grandpa
didn't understand much either The
cop explained. Mohammed has a weird
mixture of French and Arab when he
is little tight, he said. The cop I'M
derstands because he deals now and
then with lot of drunks Of Moham-
med's race.
Grandma said she was glad to hear
cigarettes cost 81 a pack in Corsica. It
was the one good thing she ever heard
about the Germans. 1t will save the
poor Corsican children from developing
the vile habit. She thinks cigarettes
are disgusting and unhealthful She
said she hoped the Germans had made
wine cost 1000 francs bottle in Cor
sica. I assured her they had.
"Bien," said grandma.
Grandpa looked a little ashamed Of
her. So did neighbor Mohammed.

were in the crying stage.

a military project. His poor old hands
are all blistered. He regarded these
blisters as war wounds.
Silent spectator to all this was mine
host" the GI from Texas.
Grandpa and Mohammed, he says,
are foreigners, but the cop is a fine
fellow. He calls the policeman fiat
foot" The head of the house asked
the meaning of the term. Now he calls
the CT "fathead." They both think
1t is a grand joke.
Mine host" also has known his mo-
ment Of glory. Back in Tunisia last
winter he was a member of a quarter
master outfit delivering supplies at the
front. They were on strange road.
His lieutenant saw some stalled tanks,
drove up to them and asked:
How much farther is 1t safe to 60
down this road?"
Gen. Roosevelt Got Out
Perfectly safe" said the tank off,

says the GI. II turned my truck
around and beat it out of there. When
I thought I was at a safe distance I
stopped in the middle of the road and
waited for somebody to come up who
could tell me where I was.
II was blocking the road A car
came down the road and Gen. Roose-
welt got out. Are you going to get

or have I got to knock it out he said.

before him. He doesn't think much of
France. Victory will come soon, he said.
After that those two great nations, the
United States and Algeria, will be
everlasting brothers. If the British
Empire behaves itself she may be ad-
mitted to sort of conditional brother
hood.
This was too much for Mohammed.
His ancestors have been Algerians for
a thousand years. But he doesn't think
grandpa is fair to France. These are
the days, he said of empires and not
piddling little countries like Algeria
"Vive la France" said Mohammed.
"Vive la France said grandpa, hesi-
tating a little until he got nasty look
from grandma.
The world is so mysterious" said
Mohammed. 1--WE see little ways. But
the whole great picture is clear to
Allah"

ITO Allah" said Mohammed.
Then the Moslem slipped around the
corner to his butchershop to fetch an
other bottle of wine.
Grandma was very embarrassed She
followed him with dagger looks.
But we must have beef livers," said
mamma.
Il suppose that on previous similar
occasions grandma had said: I will
never allow that man to cross my
threshold again."
Grandpa and Mohammed are great
old cronies, said the cop. They are the
only two left in the village who were
at Verdun.
Both old fools, said mamma, tried to
join the reconstructed French Army
here and were turned down because
they were average. But Grandpa got
