Somehow he upon a letter written 10 her by
NJ Robert Lefebvre, which startled and shocked
him The letter not only proved that Alice had
been unfaithful TO him, but indicated that at that
very moment, Lefebvre was on The Blue Crest
with Alice!
An angushed, disillusioned young got into
a canoe rowed out to where The Blue Crest
anchored and called Alice to the deck
AS Alice watched, he stood up in the boat and
cried: "You liar and cheat! Try TO forget this"
With these words he placed revolver to his
temple and blew out his brains.
Alice played the role of griefstrcken young
girl but the press printed many things which she
opposed they had forgotten, and she was much an
oyed to read that the lieutenants family had shown
what they thought OF her by forbidding her to
attend the funeral.

The present whereabouts of Roger Capgras are
unknown Some believe that inasmuch as he was
proven fifth coumnist spy and collaborationist
even before the occupation of Paris by the NaZs he
left Paris with his German masters.
There are still others who have come TO the
belief that Capgras is dead perhaps killed by the
very Germans he served, inasmuch as he had out
lived his usefulness
II the latter conjecture is correct, those who
know Alice are sure she endangered herself in the
eyes of the Underground by not even making
protest when they took him.
All agree that an ordinary death would be much
too good for him.

Christmas week we spent every

Our trees were decorated with

Far East Situation.
The Far Eastern situation is
quite different from the European.
With $4,000 Americans, and in all
nearly 100000 Americans, British
and Dutch in the Far East, we
should deliver to American and AL
lied prisoners held by Japan at least
1000 tons of relief every month.
Despite all our efforts, we have not
yet achieved 10 per cent of this
figure.
From the evidence of repatriated
and escaped prisoners, however, we
have been able to establish that the
goods which We have put into jap
anese hands have thus far actually
been delivered to our prisoners. But
the average amounts per person are
all too little for their needs.
There is a small group in the
japanese Red Gross and in the jap
anese Foreign Office who look for
ward to the future. This group real

needlessly lost will cause more bit

anese, who are in small minority,
will prevail over the provincial
minded staff of the japanese Army,
who have had little previous con-
tact with the Western World, re-
