dictates of the Nazi mas- ters of France. And it is printed in London.
It has started as only a small newspaper-like the journals and bulletins pre- viously established by the Czechs, the Poles, and the Netherlands who are still fighting for their countries while in exile. Its sponsor is....... the British Council for Cul- tural Relations.
It is hoped, as soon as pos- sible, to secure regular de. liveries in all parts of France, and perhaps even throughout the French Empire, with the aid of the British Royal Air Force.

One of the contributors
to
the first issue of the French paper, "Le Quatorze Juillet" was M. Elie J. Bois, for 26 years editor-in-chief of "Le Petit Parisien." In the course of a powerful appeal for faith to his compatriots, he writes:
"I have confidence in you, confidence in the future, con- fidence in the strength and tenacity of the British people, who are going to resist and conquer, confidence in their pledge not to hold the French nation responsible for the criminal mistakes of a re- actionary government, fidence in the future enor- mous aid expected from the American people

So signl- ficant are the: possibilities of this production considered to be that, since its first issue appear on July 14-France's nationat fete day, com- memorating the fall of the Bastille in 1789-similar plans have been developed for pro- ducing and distributing from London a Belgian newspaper, printed in both French and Flemish.
The motive that actuates the production of these links between the past and future of Europe's stricken democra- cies is epitomised in editorial in "La Belgique en Guerre," the now Belgian

Perceiving the importance of maintaining unity of thought and purpose among French and Belgians cut off by the sword from contact with their motherlands," the British Council for Cultural Relations, a government con- that trolled organisation works in close touch with the British Foreign Office, has in- augurated and sustained these French and Belgian publish- Ing projects, introduced the necessary financial backing to put them in motion.

"We began to print 'Le Quartorze Juillet in only a small way, with a run of 20,- 000 copies for the first issue," Mr. Evans said. "But we rolled off 50,000 for the sec- ond edition, and a vastly greater number than that will bo required, of course, means are found for distribu- tion over the widest possible field.

"The greatest difficulties in regard to distribution," Mr Evans went on, "are in regard to the territory of the coun- tries most intimately con- cerned. Reaching the public thore by ordinary means is out of the question for ob- vious reasons, but it is anti- cipated that, if the RAF. gets busy, bundles of papers, provided by Frenchmen for France, by Belgians for Bel- gium, will come tumbling. down from the skies over France and Belgium, in the same way that British leaf- lets did over Germany in the carly days of the war.'

Here to spend the summer vaca- llon with her parents, sho rowed upstream from their camp en Big Indian Creek, balted her book and prepared for an hour of quiet fish-

Abruptly, a 13-inch bass leaped out of the water and landed with a ibnd in the bottom of the boat.
Mim McGrain simply took off a fatal blow with the heel.
She told her story to sâ unbellev-. ing cousin, Jeanette Howe, 38, and offered to show, where it had hap pened. As the two rowed to the spot, Miss MöGrain seld:
