DO YOU often yearn for the
tangy watercress that grew IN
the brook on granddads farm ?
Well, you can grow your own if
you have a shady, moist corner in
your Victory garden.
Watercress can easily be pro-
pagated by saving the stalks from
the table. The plant has roundish
leaflets borne on stems which root

GOVERNMENTS 8 FLED DTOLONDON
 BEFORE NAzIS
By EDWARD V. ROBERTS United Press Staff Correspondent

Dy EDWARD V. ROBERTS
 United Press Staff Correspondent
 London. April l4. CUPD-when the encroachment of Nazi Germany drove the free government of Europe from their. homes, all roads led to London. At one time, the bomb-blitzed but defiant British capital was host tot eight govern ments and two national commit tees.
 Four kings, a queen and a grand duchess came to England to keep alive the embers of their nations liberty which had been all but ex- tinguished under the hard-heeled boots of the Wehrmacht.
 The rush started in the late spring and summer of 1940 when Hitler rolled over the low countries and through France. In May, Queen Wilhemina and her ministers trans ferred here from the Netherlands, and the Belgian government fol- lowed after sitting for a brief period in Paris. The grand duchess of tiny Luxembourg brought her cabinet to this outpost of freedom.
 French Committee Set Up
 The government of Czechoslo- vakia was officially established in London in July, 140. A month earlier, King Haakon of Norway had announced that the royal govern ment of his violated nation was now located in the British capital.
 July l saw the British recogni- tion of Gen. Charles de Gaulle as the leader of all Free French, and the establishment in London of the French committee of National Lib eration. Little Denmark, rolled over because 1t happened to be in the path of conquest, established Danish Freedom council here.
 The spring of 1941 saw power mad Germany lunging through the Balkans, smashing the little na- tions in its Southward path just as 1t had smashed those in the west. Two that fought were crushed-Yugoslavi and Greece.
 Peter, the king of the Yugoslavs later to become one of the thorniest problems of Allied diplo- macy-f1ed his native land and ar- rived in London with his govern nent in June, 1941.
 Poles Came From France
 King George of Greece fled to Crete after British forces were forced to evacuate his kingdom. From Crete, the Greek government came to London by way of South Africa. It was officially established here in September, 1941.
 The Polish government-in-exile transferred to English soon after the fall of France-where it had been established after Hitler's tanks had crushed the armies of Poland
 Various fortunes have befallen the monarchs who came to Britain to escape Hitler, Haakon, Wilhel- nina and the Grand Duchess Charlotte are as strong, If not stronger, with their people than ever. Peter and George appear to have been dealt out by the course of events, and it seems entirely pos sible that thte fate of Fog of AL balda-living quietly in the Eng fish countryside-will be similar.

(By A Staff Writer)

The cordiality and understand ing of the man who has served this country as president for the past 12 years during it's most crucial era was perhaps reflected in small but significant incident at his inaugural in 1941, which this writer had the privilege to witness
 Franklin Delano Roosevelt was entering his car after taking the oath of office for the third time on the balcony of the Capitol. Top hated dignitaries-members of the cabinet, senators, representatives and ambassadors-were following All were stately, reserved, and rath- CT sombre.
 A tousled- haired lad pushed through the lines and before the federal men could reach him had gained the running board of the residents car.
 "Hi. Franklin" he shouted Good luck to you"
 Shocked expressions spread over the face of the sober dignitaries. Sensing the humor in the situation, the President cast sly look on the assemblage, and then beamed on his youthful admirer.
 Thanks. my boy" h. said, And good luck to you"
 Although Washington had donned its most colorful party dress for that third Inaugural, it was in an un- shakably somber mood on that cold blustery day of January 20, 1941 The rank and file of Washington and the nation felt war wasn't far away.
 It was estimated one million peo- pie had journeyed from every cor ner of the nation to see President Roosevelt take the oath of office At seven o'clock-five hours before the ceremonies they began to con- gregate on Capitol Hill-and by noon they were perched on the tor of cars, in trees, and on boxes tc hear their President deliver his inaugural address.
 AS was customary the President a'ld Mrs. Roosevelt, and MT. RooSe- velt's mother attended services.
 The ceremonies at the Capita were brief. Roosevelt's voice took on a renewed force and vigor as he spoke the closing words of his oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
 We shall not retreat. AS American, we go forward, in serv- ice of our country, by the will oi God"
 The applause was brief. The pres idential pronuncio That the task o6 the people of the United States is to save the nation and its institutions from disruption from without" struck an ominous note in the hearts of the people assembled there, eleven months prior to the at- tack on Pearl Harbor.
 The next moment was one fraught with feeling. The president stepped forward to the railing and looked down on the thousands gathered before him meditivatively . fondly |. paternally With upraised head, these Amer jeans looked upon their leader with out moving or speaking. It was 8 moment when silence speaks louder than words. It was also Q moment that will
