HAVE A LAUGH WHAT A MISTAKE Bill, the laziest man and the worst cadger in the neighbourhood, astonished everyone by suddenly appearing in a warden's tin hat and gas mask. "What's come over you?" they asked him. "I dunno," * said Bill dismally. "Some-body asked me if I'd like to join 'em. I thought they meant for a drink."

FOOLED ! "Is there anyone here named Donovan?" he roared. No one spoke. Two or three began sneaking quietly towards the exit. Once more the intruder bellowed. "Where's Donovan?" A little timid man stepped forward. "My name is Donovan," he said. "What is it?" The big man grunted, stepped across, lifted him by the collar, smote him to the floor, and strode A few moments later the little man got up. He smiled painfully." "I just fooled him," he said. "My name isn't Donovan at all."

HITLER ASSESSED NO TRACE OF GREATNESS "Remember there is a nation of eighty million inhabitants in Germany. Lots and lots of them idolise as their favourite fuehrer, as their god-like pet, a criminal. Not alj, I know, but they are powerless. All these millions ignore consciously that, in spite of conspicuous changes on the map, Hitler has not the slightest trace of greatness, that he rewarded the help of his friends with murder, that he is a vain boaster, a perjurous swindler raging in bloodshed. Millions and millions, if they don't want to aid him, don't prevent him. They are prevented from preventing him. Yes. But these better Germans could not better the circumstances. So it is quite natural that other, ethical powers will have to do their job—for a while. You, the English and the Americans, you proclaim as aims of this war not only your geographical safety but the salvation of mankind, and we are profoundly grateful for that."—Mr Alfred Kerr, an authority on Germany.
