When Greece was Invaded, the Greek merchants In Kossala were interned and their shops looted by hungry Italian soldiers, leaving the merchants' wives destitute.
Towards Mecca
Things are just ng bad in Tes- senci, in Eritrea, to the south- cast of us. There. according to refugees, Italians sold grain to the shopkeepers and then took it
back from thein without paying
for it.
Now, as I write this, I see we have arrived at one of our ever- watchful posts. We dismount, so that the gun crew can stop for evening prayers.
Their thoughts, for a moment, turn from Kassala to the more distant enstern city of Mecca..

HE SANG
K-K-K-KATIE
IN the war of 1914-18 Walter Williams was singing war-win- ning songs and making others sing them. One of the songs was "K-K-K-Katic."
You remember, It went some- thing like this:-
K-K-K-Katie, beautiful Katie,
You're the only g-g-g-girl that .... I dore,
When the m-moon shines on the
c-cowshed
I't be waiting at the k-k-k-
-kitchen-door
It was a popular song-the sort of song that made you want to join in the chorus.
You had to join in if you were In Walter Williams audience. He inade you,

"Now then, all together-_** quite often, "You, please, sir,"
You, please, madam."
He made lots of famous people sing his choruses.
Made Princess Sing Once the Princess Royal (then Princess Mary), sitting in her box, sang "K-K-K-Katie."
And once he made Lord Beatty sing the chorus by himself.
In this war Walter Williams, now fifty-three, the light comedian and vocalist of former days, hai no spec- tacular part.
He had become. assistant manager of the Queen's Cinema, Bayswater.
One day he was walking along a London street-making a business journey which for several years had been the lot of some one else.
A bomb fell close to him. He was kllied.
Secret of the Lake
THE Fleet Air Arm's Taranto triumph had it's beginnings in a quiet British lake.
To me the Secret of the Lake was no secret. In peace days I often climbed the shoulder of the hills behind my cottage and looked down to watch gleaming torpedoes foaming down the length of the lake.
They plunged away from n jetty at one end through a series of moored floats, straight for a white tower target four miles away,
A man atatioried on each float-they were anchored a quarter of a milo apart- signalled to the timekeepers as cach torpedo beneath him.
THER people have been la- terested, too, in wint hap- pens in the bosom of that valley, But he asked the wrong sort of man, a gamekeeper, and an old soldier,
The gamekeeper had all the suspicions of a man who spends his life watching the wild things of the glens. He was not to be deceived.
"That chap," he told me later, "sald he was from London and
wanted some photographs of the scenery. I'm thinking he was Jerry, so I sent him the opposite
way.
Many
hours later the weary stranger, speaking with a marked German accent, called at a cot- tage a few miles away begging for ten.
Recently I had a letter from my parents' home, which lies a low

of the cottage,
"German passed
planes bombed the hills behind the collage" wrote my mother, adding unsuspectingly "Thero's nothing for them there that I can think of.".
Some days from my hilltop- eyrie I saw some strange ex- porimenta with torpedous.

The Man from Leicester said again: "I ain't frit o' no blasted Jerry."
Old Silence replied: "No, but you're afraid of dying."
"I ain't."
"Everybody is," said Old Silence.
"I bet yow I wouldn't run away from nowt," snid the Man from Leicester.
An old soldier with a rib- bon on his breast said: "Any- body who says he's afraid of nothing is either a liar or else hasn't had much experience of things people are usually afraid of.""
"Running away," he con- tinued, "has got nothing to do with it. I've been afraid plenty of times, but I've never run away. Get a ma- chine-gun going ratatatuta- tat a few yards away from you, and naturally you're afraid.
"Brave men are often afraid; only they keep it to just an ordinary man who can't beat his fear; can't keep it down."

"A slug would make me go cold all over. Then, one day, I hap- pened to come across a slug that seemed to me to be about a foot long.

"I stood and looked at it for a long time, with my stomach turn- ing over; and then I flew into a rage,
"How dare this allmy thing make me afraid?' I said to my- self, and smashed it with my fit. Since then I've never been afraid of sluga.".
The old soldier, musing, raised his head and said to Old-Silence: "You' done right, pal. It's exact- ly the same way with the fear of death. You get hold of it, and it in't there."
