HITLER
LISBON.
FOUND Dr Bloch,
I seventy-one-year-old Jewish
physician whom six-year-old Adolf Hitler used to call "Uncle Doctor," in a modest third floor back room of a Lisbon boarding house, where he and his wife were waiting for a boat to take them to their daughter in New York.
Ten days previously the old couple left the little Austrian town of Linz, where for the last forty- five years. Dr Bloch, as the kindly country doctor, hnd ministered day and night to rich and poor.
Among his patients had been the family of a humble Customs officer named Alois Hitler.
WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT THE WAR
“WOE, WOE !?
MANY people are wonder-
ing how we can "take Italy out of the war" by an- other sort of offensive-the sort, already propagandist exemplified in the Prime Minister's broadcast to the Italian people.
We desire again to be friends with the Italians; again to feel towards them as our great writers felt in the last century: Browning, Swin- burne, Meredith. We may us sure them of this desire. But is there much that the friends of Italy could do in this country that could be more effective than the im- becile maunderings of their -own-tyrants-al-home?-
After the Greek victories, the North African campaign, Bardia and the rest, can it be pleasant for anxious Italians
in half-starved cafes to listent to Jeremiads of "woc, woe l' from Ansaldo?
Can it convince them that they are winning to be told that every defeat is an "in- cident."
Above all, can it relieve their wounded feelings to hear (as they liave this week) that whatever may happen Italy never, never will desert Germany?
Part of the final blow of propaganda against Italy may be left to Mussolini! (Daily Mirror).
Sotting The French To Work

The German locusts have been feeding on France for the Inst d months, and now there is little left for them to eat. Now Germans ure determined to make the French work for them.

"I had wanted to take an air- plane direct here from Vienna," suid Dr Bloch in n quaverlag, volce as he sat on the bed talking to me, "but the Lufthansa men warned me that while they were prepared to give me seat, as a great favour. on, the plane, if an Aryan German came along and asked for it, I would have to give it up to him. So. 1 preferred to go by train with the rest of the party."
He seemed to thinl. tint this was quite normal, not a runter for complalat, this wizened Hitle Jew- isht doctor with the long, old- fashioned moustaches, which he is proad to tell you little Adoli used to lug.
THAT
HAT is the extraordinary thing about this Dr Bloch. Despite everything, he is proud of having been family doctor to the
Hitlers.
But he won't speak of Hitler's illness.
"Way back before the Anschluss, a writer come, and asked me about Hitler's illness. What a good thing I preserved my medical secrecy and refused to say uby- thing. Just think what would have bappened otherwise when the Nazis came in. To this day I have never disclosed anything concerning the Illness of the family Hitler,"
"Do you know," said Frau Bloch, "Hitler hadn't forgotten my hus- band? When he drove through Linz after his entry into Austria in 1038 he passed our house and waved up to our window with a special smile,"
The old doctor nodded confirma- tion. That is to say, my dear," he said, "that is what they told us. You see," he turned to me, "as Jews we were not permitted to be at the . window when our Fuehrer passed.
I HAD thought," he said wistfully, "that perhaps

Nevertheless. Dr Bloch, who re- mained in Linz and did not try to start a new practice at the age of sixty-nine In Vienna, was allowed

For instance, he was permitted to use the telephone. Yes, sir, he was permitted to use the telephone. "Before we left many of them came to see us to dissuade us from go- ing." said the little Jewish doctor. "Uncle Doctor, they said to me, how can you think of emigrating at your age? And auntie, too. Stay with us. It will soon all be different. I think in Linz they really loved us. Don't you think so, my dear?" he asked his wife..
She did not answer. There were tears in her dim old eyes.

Our Secret Weapon: Humour
Musso Under Fire
Hun still says he is bombing military objectives --that's what we golfers would call a "hanging lie."
The following are extracts taken from a letter just re- ceived by a well-known British firm in Hongkong from an officer of its parent organisation in England: Each month, the writer circulates such a letter to all the oversea branches of the organsiation in order, as he says, to give an idea of conditions at Home and particularly of the spirit of the English people."
"Poor old Musso! He and nnuther baldheaded man put their heads together and made a perfect ass of themselves! Little Adolf, furious at the de- feat in Egypt, asked him what had happened to his army and navy, about which he had boasted so much. "I only told you," said Musso, "they were in good running order. Besides, what can we do against the Australians? Eleven of them beat all Eng- land two years ago."
"Anyhow, Wops are going cheap in Egypt to-day-as for Wop Generals, you simply can't give 'em away. A littlo Coeknoy corporal, # keen fisherman in days of peace, was put in charge of some 267 prisoners-but only arrived. back with 250. When asked for an explanation, he said "Seven were so small, that I simply had to put 'em back."
But Blissful
"On the Home Front, we' remain blitzed but blissful, as I said in my Blitzmas greet- ings to you all. Damage.has, of course, been suffered, but it is speedily made good. Our works have continued produc- tion unceasingly. The bulk of the destruction has fallen upon · shops and houses we have had a number of casualties amongst our employees, but every one occurred in their own homex. And the lousy
"In London the nightly blitz continues, culminating in the great incendiary raid on the City three nights ago. The particulars have been publish- id in the Press, and you've heard of the destruction of buildings which are dear to the hearts of all of us. In this stricken area lay the Head- quarters of the Chartered Institute of Secretaries. To- day, I visited these Headquar- ters. A taxi took me within a mile of it, and thereafter I walked over piles of rubble which had once been streets, amid the skeletons of build- Ings still smouldering.
Carrying On
"Of our Headquarters, one wall remains, identifiable only by the brass plate that was on it and by a notice saying that new offices had already been opened at hnother address.
"That's the spirit of Eng- land to-day-wo carry on, and wait for the day of revenge. The other day I passed a littlo "pub," all its windows broken and somewhat battered be- sides, and this was the mes- ange it displayed:,
