A few moments later they were poised at the stopes and Martin took Freya's hands in his. "Pray for me?" he whispered.
"Every minute." She pressed his lips with hers for one last yearn ing moment. Then she stood back. "Goodbye, my love." She watched them as they disappeared down the mountainside. Then, "I love him," she said softly, to Martin's mother,

Every schoolboy knows the first sentence in Julius Caesar's Commentaries: "Gaul is divided into three parta," 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 ail three parts of Gaul were firmly under the heel of the Roman Empire. In the year 27 B.C. the Emperor Auguctus com- pleted the Romanization of Gaul. In the first century A.D. on organised attempt to free Gaul from Rome was crushed by the Emperor Ves- pasian. Two centuries later the Gallic peasants, rendered desperate by the exactions of the Roman treasury, formed themselves into marauding bands and
the plundered country wholesale, They were suppressed by the Emperor Diocletian, but in them were
the beginnings of French inde- Pendence.
When Rome began to decline Gaul became a prey to the Visigoths, the Burgundians,
and the Franks. For a time confusion reigned, and out of that confusion arose the great country for which General de Gaulle now speaks.

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 & 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!
