Ten Commandments for W.A.T.S. in France
THEY MAY-BUT NOT Fraternise With The B.E.F.; Use
Wear Frills Or Flounces; Walk Out Make Up, Visit Messes With Lower Ranks
TEN commandments on dress, morals and discipline have been drawn up for the thousands of women of the Auxiliary Territorial Service who are to go to France as B.E.F. cooks, signallers, clerks and orderlies.
For the first time, British women will actually be in the Army; women's auxili- aries in the last war were only "attached" to the Army.
Moro Do's Than Don'ts
While serving in France they are: Subject to military low;

THREE IN FIVE SAY HITLER
IS OUR BIG DANGER
Approximately three people out of five think Naxi Gor- many a greater monace to Great Britain than is Sovlot Russia. This was discovered by the British Institute of Public Opinion in its latest survey, in which it put this question to a sample of adult Britons:
Which do you think is the more dangerous to us, Soviet Russia or Naxi Gormany? Of those questioned:
57%
24%
19%
sald said 'nsid
Nazi Germany
Soviet Russia
Don't know
Whereas bofore the German invasion of Poland and the Russian attack on Finland the people would probably have regarded the question as one of the relativa dangers of two inimical political creeds, interviewers reported that in answering the question the public now seems mainly concerned with the relative military strength of the two nations.
On that basis than more than twice as many people think Nazi Germany is Britain's most dangerous enemy as think that Soviet Russia is.
The chief reasons for so thinking, as indicated by individual comments, are Russia's geographical remoteness, and her military inferiority as revealed by the Finnish war.
(The British Institute of Public Opinion is an entirely independent fact-finding organisation which samples the views of the public by personal interviews with a carefully. balanced cross-section of the whole population representa- tive of all shades of public opinion.
