TOUGH LUCK

A German pilot had been shot down over the English Channel, close in to. the English coast. An old seaman put out in his boat and/ was seen by the cliff watchers to rescue the airman, and start to return to the shore. He had almost reached the shore, when the watchers were amazed to see the pilot dumped back into the briny by the old salt. ' ’ On beaching his boat he was asked why he hadn’t brought the pilot back with him. “Well,’ ’he replied, “He was a German and he said he was alive, but you know what bloomin’ liars those Germans are!” ' * * * Moscow, according to a Russian spokesman,, continues to lead a fullblooded life. Naturally* one would assume the Soviet capital to possess an abundance of Red corpuscles. / * * * Japan begins to wonder where she is .whirling around at-the end of the Axis.
