"She feeds and houses the men properly," he wrote in an article in the Daily Herald after Canad- fan and British troops captired . during the cembined rald on Di- eppe had been shackled by Germ. any. 'She neither bullies them nor subjects them to any unpleasant- mess except the necessary one of keeping them shut up in camps, _ "Medical attention is free and visits to the dentist are frequent, In some camps the prisoners cook . their own food, the same as that of their guards, except that, at their own request, they get less meat and more potatoes. The Ger- man likes plenty of potatoes. "Books apd games are provided by the Red Cross and books are changea monthly. There are usual- Jy two roll-calls a day, at the dis. cretion of the commandant. Lights out is at 10 p.m." Four Categories The writer divided German pris. oners held by Britain into four ca- tegories: the "I'm out of it and glad of it" type; the uncooperative, "Im a Nazi and don't you forget fit" type; 'the regular pre-war of- ficer or man. Authorities seldom have trouble with the first and last groups, he continued. They generally fade away among the mass as soon as they are placed in the compound. . "Type number two is different," he said. "One can never tell if he Is bluffing or not. One man, for Instance, arrived by parachute in Scotland after his plane had col- lided with an anti-aircraft shell, He Jooked as if the shell had hit him. To all questions he answered "Weiss nicht" (Don't know). (Instructions are issued to all military personnel that they are obliged to give only their name and number.) "This type will not give these particulars. So after a half hour he is tenered as Gefreiter (Lance- Corporal) 'Don't Know." But when a German officer explains that he must give his name, he comes back and does so." "Battle" At Sea Staged By | Navy Newest British Battleships In. Two-Day Mock War Three of Britain's newest battle- ships operated as an integral battle force for the first time this month when the King George V, the An- gon, and the Howe--together with 'cruisers, destroyers, submarines and aircraft--staged a two-day "battle" at sea. So redlistic and severe were the exercises that officers said the big war craft underwent everything which could happen in combat ex- cept actual destruction. The mock war kept the men at battle stations for more than 24 hours amid weather which proached gale proportions, and in- volved firing everything from 14- Inch rifles to anti-aircraft batter- Jes. It involved a night encounter with an "enemy" Dbattleforce and the repelling of submarines, de. stroyers, torpedo planes, high-level bombers, and divebombers, = . The "battle" terminated with a damage control exercise when the flagship was artifically caused to list as if hard hit, The Admiral abandoned it and the flagship was towed off toward a home port. Live Ammunition Used This probably was the most ex- tensive British battleship exercise since the outbreak of the war, with the veteran King George V--one of the principals of the Bismarck sinking -- pacing the battle line's latest additions, the Anson and Howe. Britain's most strongest and * modern bhttleships wero practic- ing against the day when, they meot the Tirpitz, Germany's best. They used live ammunition wherever possible, even to the ex- tent of making a valuable cruiser a target ship for 14-inch guns by setting the guns five degrees out of line with fire control directors. Crews of the battleships were at battle stations when planes zoomed overhead, dropping flash. bombs when they reached the point of attack. When the ships' big guns fire there was no need to simulate realism, | for the blast, concussion, flame and smoke were terrific. The entire ships were stripped for action to avoid damage from the concussion. E ' Carrots and Colds The common cold may at last be eonquered by the carrot.

O'BRIEN THE ELUSIVE CAROLE CHAPTER XII Under the distant and disap- proving scrutiny of the head- waiter Clyde Dawson picked up his reservation at the desk, then began a search for Carole Fiske, who had fled the dining room af. ter throwing a cup of coffee in his face. Dawson knew in advance the search would be futile, No black- haired girl had passed through the main entrance in the last 10 min- utes, the doorman said, Nor had such a girl used cither of the two elevators during that time. A ma- tron assured him that the girl was in neither of the ladies' lounges. From his room Dawson tele. phoned-the Intelligence Bureau to put out a dragnet for the girl in the Halifax area. While removing his soiled shirt, he mentally noted there were many strange things about Carole Fiske, but the most curious of all'was he. exclamation when she saw Paul Dexel in the dining room doorway. She had cried out that it couldn't be . . . that Paul Dexel was murdered and had started to say something about Darwin, Her implied ignorance of the executed man's fate had always puzzled the investigator. After all, it would be wiser for her to pretend no knowledge of the New- foundland- drama. . , . Yet, there had been no faking about her ex- clamation. And what had Dexel, supposedly murdered, to do with it? Who had told her that lie and why? As he shaved, Dawson frowned into the mirror. No matter what, she was, breaking the news about Lemoy would be a tough chore. In 15 minutes he was at his bureau office. The agents who had escorted Dexel to the hotel were waiting for him, "That touching scene did some- thing to the Strong Silent Man," one grinned. "He was talking to himself all the way back here. Better go right in and quiz him-- we'll work the dictograph from this room." Paul Dexel half rose from his chair in his bleak detention room as Dawson entered. "Think you're a smart copper," he snarled, "but you won't get anything out of me--no matter what she told you. I know my rights as a citizen, , , ." ' * * . Dawson clutched Dexel by the OVER-BUYING OF COAL UNFAIR TO COMMUNITY Buying up all the coal in sight means that you deprive someone else in your community, So be patient as far as your full winter's requirements are concerned for, when. the present rush Is over, every householder will have some - coal in his bin and dealers wlll be able to catch up with the de' mand and fill your future orders promptly.

"lI don't know what you are talking about. 1 don't know any- thing about fingerprinting. . , ." Dexel was pale as a sheet. A door opened and one of the agents handed Dawson a telegram, The latter read it and tossed the in trembling hands, "That will tell you," the in- vestigator continued, "our Mon- treal bureau just raided the Dor- val address you so kindly provided and has secured 'abundant evi- dence' that it was a link in your extensive spotter system on Ferfy Command operations, Your co- horts have, of course, been appre- hended. . , ." Dexel was the picture of mental agony. "I'll talk," Dexel spoke hoarse- "What do you want to know?" "That's better," grunted Daw- son. "But before I start, I am informing you that all you have said and will say will be recorded by dictograph and anything you say might be held against you." For over two hours the men talked. ly. * * . When Dawson came out into the main office his face wore a peculiar expression . . . for the first time he seemed worried. "Have you located Carole Fiske . yet?" The other shifted uneasily, "It's a bad break--we haven't got her but know where she is, She apparently rushed down to the docks in a taxi and found a ship about to sail for Newfound. land, It was sheer luck -- the purser had-a cabin for two that had only one woman in it, an officer's wife, and he gave Fiske the other bunk... ." "Did the ship sail?" "Yes, Fiske flashed some identi- fication from the War Supplies Department, claimed she was on urgent business and got through in a rush, As luck would have it, this all happened just:a few min- utes before sailing time--at 7.50 a.m, It is now after 10... ." "That means the ship is out of Likely in convoy." Dawson's face was grim. "I can't signal it to return, What's the ship's name?" "The Fort Glengarry--out of Boston bound for St. John's, . . ." Dawson held up his hand, "Okay, now contact the Eastern Air Command and ask for a plane to fly me up there. I must be in St. John's before the girl arrives. Phone me at the hotel--I'm going to pack."

Yet it all fitted so perfectly it couldn't be false. Dawson walked quickly through the hotel lobby and went up to paused abruptly. There was a man 'with his back to the door bending over his opened suitcase and prob. ing through the contents, Dawson slipped a hand inside his coat to his revolver holster and stepped into the room, .

Opening the door, he shake himself free from the strong arms of the man who had grabbed him from behind, Meanwhile, the one who had been searching through his suitcase dashed across the room and tugged the investi- gator's revolver from the shoulder holster. "Take it easy," an authoritative voice growled. "We're from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police." Dawson ceased struggling. "Hell," he panted, 'let's stop playing games---we're on the samo team. --you'll find my credentials in a false bottom compartment of the suitcase your pal was amusing himself with." ; When Dawson had satisfied the 'Mounties as to his identity, one of them drew a sheet of writing paper from his pocket and handed it to Dawson. "Perhaps you can give us a hint as to what this is all about, then?" the Mountie queried, "You'll notice the letter about you _ was properly signed--we seldom act on anonymous tips of this nature. Urgency was suggested in its being sent by a messenger from the dock. The hotel detec- tive told us there had been strange behavior on your part reported this morning. , . ." Dawson was reading the note-- I'm Dominion Intelligence, -- be en route to St. John's, New- foundland; from whence I shall contact you." It was signed, "Carole Fiske - and, in brackets below, "an em- ployee of the War Supplies De- partment, Chicago." Dawson laughed shortly.
