But the silence was sudden- ly disturbed by the shouts of a Brown Shirt patrol. They .rushed into the house and Mrs. Breitner quickly instruct- ed Elsa, the little serving. maid, to say that she had seen nothing.
Then the men stamped in and from their blunt questions it was clear that Martin was definitely a suspect now.

jures up Gaul, the old name for France, and I propose with the reader's have to give here and now one of the shortest history lensons on record.
Every schoolboy knows the Art sentence in Julius Caesar's Commentaries; "Gaul is divided into three parts," Gaul being the name given by the Romans to all that stretch of country lying between the Rhine and the Pyrenees.
Shortly before the begin- ning of the Christian Era all three parts of Gaul were firmly under the heel of the Roman Empire. In the year 27 B.C. the Emperor Augustus com- pleted the Romunfeation of Gaul.
In the first century A.D, an organised attempt to free Gaul from Rome was
crushed by the Emperor Ves- pasion. Two centuries later the Gallic peasants, rendered desperate by the exactions of the Roman treasury, formed themselves into marauding bands and

The point of all this? Simply that the result of Roman interference with Gaul was to make n scattered nation. people into a great And that, dear children, con- cludes our history lesson.
HERE is a story told me by a naval officer in charge of one of the ships during the Dun- kirk episode. An English officer, who was all in, finding no place to sit down, let alone lie, finally espied A lifeboat containing flags and covered with a tarpaulin. Creeping
under the tarpaulin he fell into a deep and blissful sleep, from which he did not awake till some hours later. Lifting the tarpaulin and peeping over the edge he found that he was back at Dunkirk. He had made the round trip!
I SPENT an afternoon this week showing a party of Anzacs round Westminster Abbey, throwing in a bit of history here and an ance- dote there. For example, when we came to the Henry VII. Chapel I drew attention to the wonderful Kates by Torrigiano, Michel-
angelo's pupil I added that it was to Torrigiano that Michel- ingelo owed his broken nose. A Maori said: "What was the fight, about?" The fight, which was the culmination of a jealous quarrel that had
gone on for some time, led to Torrigiano's leaving Italy and coming here. If Michel- angelo had not received a broken nose we should not have got our wonderful gates.
A few of us had tea together afterwards, and I told a young New Zealand doctor from Wellington how I and a fellow townsman of a his shared a tent during the last

IN On the Move in England" (Hutchinson, 7. 04.) Mr. IL M. Batemant describes how he got up early one moming, crept on to New-market Heath, and secreted himself in a bush in order to hear what the lads on the horses were talking about. He overheard no word of the Tetrarch or Minoru; thry were discussing cinemas, boxers, and girls.
Which only shows how simple- minded Mr, Bateman 19 Does he suppose that the Beefeaters in the Tower 6t London talk about hal- berds and battleaxes? Or that Chelsea Pensioners chew the fat about Rorke's Drift? No! They talk about cinemes, boxers, and Kirls.
Some day Fate will bring Mr. Bateman and me together at the same super-table. Shall we dis- cuss book-reviewing or the art of cartooning? No! We shall discuss cinemas, boxers, and girls.
