IN THE CENTRE OF
IVICHY IS
A
PLEASANT PARK, and sometimes in the early afternoon the old Marshal walks there, following a great circle from his hotel through the archway of chestnut trees past chil dren romping beside the. broad pathway and back again to his hotel door- way where helmeted sold- iers stand rigidly at atten- tion beneath the tricolour of France.
It is like a 20-minùte tour of unoccupied France-this walk that Petain takes on a sunny day. His step is steady and sedate; his bearing digni- fied and reassuring,
with more than a touch of the old soldier despite his sober black topcoat and black hat.
He goes pust the shop windows, where stocks are dwindling or blinds are drawn because there is no more to sell. He goes past handsome resort hotels, requisitioned by the government and turned into crowded offices, where soldiers with fixed bayonets guard the door. He goes past a line of men and women who stand for hours to get food tickets or to buy a quarter pound of goat cheese. He
goes past a wall where some passerby at night has scrawi. ed in chalk, "Vive De Gaulle." He goes through little knots of pedestrians who bow or lift their hats.
✔
And at last he comes back to the doorway from which he started and watching him receive the salute of his body- guard-you may get an idea of what is happening to France of how this old man in a black hat has become the pivot around which a broken nation marks time in warring Europe.
FOR France-government and people is marking time, waiting, helplaes and hungry to see who will win the war. France is a land of refugees who circle from one consulate to another and then to the government offices, seek ing escape from a belligerent, continent. It is a land of de- feated and apathetic people who must stand in line for food, for clothing, for fuel. It is a land in which national leadership shifts and circles to meet each change in the tide of a war that may bring still greater disaster. France is struggling only to survive until peace comes again.
One day in the crowded. lobby of the Ambassadeurs Hotel a diplomat, whose English was faulty, referred to life in France as a "veccheo circle," and it was such an apt description from any viewpoint that nobody asked- him whether he meant a Vichy circle, a vicious circle or merely an unhappy pun.
You get off a crowded train from Spain after 40 hours without sleep and often with- out a seat, and Vichy looks like just what it once was—A quiet, sleepy watering place of 60,000 persons spread out in a valley in the mountains of middle France. But you quickly_discover your mis- take. The population is in- creased one-third, even after now arrivala some 10,000
wore ordered to leave the temporary capital this winter because they had no satis factory excuse for living
there.
There are no taxicabs, and almost no automobiles except

lack of gasoline; so you walk half a mile to your hotel.
"You were lucky to get a
hotel room," friends
tell you. ""The government
has taken over most of them."
Your hotel is a rambling resort place with paper-thin walls and big lounges filled with tea and bridge tables. Well-dressed, smart-looking men and women-the men are in a vast majority-crowd- the lobbies at almost any hour of the afternoon or evening, repeating the latest gossip or relaying bits of news that never get into the closely-con- trolled newspapers. Between rumours they inspect every one, important and unimport-
ant, who comes or goes."
A pot-bellied stave stands in the middle of the lobby, its smoke pipe cutting a black path across the luxurious de- corations. Suddenly. you re- alise that there is a coal short- age and that there won't be any heat in your room, Even the lobby is chilly, and woman at tea keep fur coats around. their shoulders. Electric heaters are. priceless treasures in Vichy.
શ
In your room you find sign on the bathroom door saying that there will be hot water on Tuesdays and Satur- days. On other days you may be able to persuade the cham bermaid to bring a pitcher of lukewarm water for shaving. There is no soap, unless you brought your own, and even after you stand in line for soap tickets you get only a handful of brownish subs- tance as a month's ration. If you want a suit cleaned you must wait 10 days, and if you want socks darned you must furnish your own needle and yarn.
You leave the hotel to
meet your friends for dinner and are lost in a 90 percent. black-out, which is partly precuation against air raids but is also due to the fuel shortage. You' stumble down the middle of the street tó another of the many resort hotels in the centre of Vichy, There was onçe a smart bar off the lobby, but now it is closed because the hotel has become the centre of the gov- ernment. The old Marshal lives there and he ordered the
a fow officials' cars, because of -- bar closed, and
and
There is a bar in the ad- joining hotel-a 25-foot- square room' partitioned off with beaverboard walls in one corner of the huge ballroom and lounge. There are scores. of persons in the lounge but there is no music, because France is in mourning. Nor is there dancing anywhere in unoccupied France. You push close enough to the bar to or- der a Martini' and discover, that it is forbidden to serve cocktails or any mixture of liquors in France. You switch to Scotch and soda, and get only a wry smile from the bartender. The Scotch ran out long ago. "Anyway," he adds, "this is a non-alcoholic day."
You finally settle for a dry wine, and your friends arrive in good humour because, after inspecting the menus outside half a dozen restaur- ants, they have found a pince where you can get an ome- lette. Omelette? you ask. How about a steak? It turns out that this a meatless day. Your's lucky to get an ome- lette.
There is vegetable soup for dinner, an omelette, turnips, spinach and topinanbour, which is like a Jerusalem' arti- choke. There are no potatoes this-week, but-for-the-first- time in a month there is cheese, Fruit is plentiful, but the coffee is a mixture of grain and 30 percent coffee bean. The bread-normal ration is "two inch-thick slices. a day-is brown but good Wine is mostly a local product and getting scarce. There is no butter or sugar.
You are still hungry when dinner is finished, and you can appreciate the irony of a wall sign that quotes a. decree. published in the official jour- nal: "People of France! You must conserve. It is for- bidden to abandon a piece of bread after having rendered It unfit for consumption by the mouth."-Copyright 1941 by United Press.

RAIDERS ROUTED
"All German raiders in the South Sens' have been sunk or chased into hiding, according to rellable reports."
The Canadian Trade Com- missioner in Australia, Col. L. Moore Cosgrove, said this when he arrived in Los Angeles from Australia,
The naval authorities have not released any definite. Information about this," he said.
"But it is commonly known that bombers have been flying farther and farther on scouting fights to seek German ships."
· The · Australian Navy Minister, Mr W. M. Hughes, would neither confirm nor deny, Mr. Cosgrove's statement.
His only comment was that one judged the efficiency of a police force by the absence of crime, and ✅ the Navy and Air Force should similarly be judged by the fact that there had
