In England was a still different story. There, there was grim preparation to meet the expected invader. There was grim and wrathful anger and a cold resolve to do one of two things, beat Hitler or die trying, but never to surâ€" render to him. When they arrived at their homes they found themselves under a new and harsh system of government in which | they were told what to do, when to do . it ‘and how. They found new, pettyl bureaucrats in charge of their lives,‘ exercising their spleen on a whipped people unable to further help itself. The German press whipped itself to find extravagant enough titles for its master. It came through with ‘"Lord of Battle," "Victor of 1940" and ‘"Vicâ€" tor Over 1918," "Rouser Out of Stupor," "Leader From Darkness Into Light," ‘"Triumphator." Meanwhile hundreds of thousands of refugees trudged the highways back to their shattered and desolated homesâ€" the same highways upon which they hbad been machineâ€"gunned and bombed short weeks ago when fieeing from the mailâ€"clad German legions and the merciless tanks. He appsared on the balcony of the Chancellery, and while there, talked to bigâ€"wig Nazi leaders around him, laughed and poked them in the ribs, grinned and waved to the crowd. After several apoearances he turned and disâ€" appeared inside. He snapped his fingers delightedly and did a little goose step. He grinâ€" ned all over his face. Beaming with pleasure, he rolled into Berlin in a speâ€" clal train to receive the plaudits of the multitudes. At the station he listâ€" ened with glee to the savage chant of "Sieg Heil, Sieg Heil," which greeted him, and drove to the Chancellery over a flower bestrewn street. Like a moth emerging from its chrysalis, Hitler, we are told by Berlin despatches, came out of the shell of neurosis which has cloaked him for so long, and began to resemble a member of the human species when he received the news of France‘s capitulation. | _Toâ€"day‘s Stocks | # :o #4 #4 * # *#* t# * *s #. * 00. .0 L3 «. .**, #4 ® .0 *# w .00 * #«# ® # Cnd n:oo\o «w # #* #@ # #4 # + *u u* . a* ..‘0.00. . a*, .. +o# # ns atuate atestaate atentaate ateatecte ate etecteateathale SIEFTING THE NEWS By Hugh Murphy 17.50 1 40 3.00 38.00 1.06 19.25 10.10 32.50 1.93 1.21 7% 1.82 2.10 2 4O 8.20 3.00 40 2.39 "70 ‘~â€"_â€"Fort Williamâ€"C.
