NAZIS MACHINE GUN REFUGEE GIRL
London, December 24.
1 KEPT A BOARDING-SCHOOL for children near the Slovak frontier in Poland, writes a Polish teacher in a message to the "Sunday Chronicle." All through the summer the school was crowded.
As the rumours of War became more alarming, I sent all the children back to their homes, leaving us with only two who had no other home but the school.
I had been to Cracow and returned from there to the town nearest to my home at 2 a.m. on the morning of Sept. 1 by the last train that took civilians.
I knew that by hook or by crook I must get to my home, sixteen miles away.
There were no means of getting a conveyance, so I started on foot. After a few miles, a German armoured car overtook me
in a village, but fired neither at me nor at the few people
in the streets.
Further on, however, I met a road-man, who told me that the crew of the car had fired on him, leaving him for dead.

There M., the mistress who had been in charge of the school while I was away, told me her story.
She had been awakened, at 5 a.m. by a loud explosion. A German aero- plane came over and dropped a bomb. Then a tank began to bombard the school.
Next day there was an air. raid, but luckily, no gas-bombs. In Stvoic, M. and I and the children got a goods train to take us to Reissov, where we joined a train filled with re- fugees from Polish Silesia, mostly women and children.
"A GRAND GAME" Some days later we stopped just outside a station.
Seven aeroplanes came over very high up.
I saw they were German: and we lay down at once in the car- riage.
At that moment four bombs crash- ed quite near the train.
M. and I took the children to haystack.
In the intervals of bombing, the -planes swoopad low and machine- gunned all they could see. It gave us the impression that the airmen --they looked mere boys of 16 or

"What did you hit your husband with?" queried Meenan of the 5 ft. 7 in. 15-stone Amazon.

dis- Informed of her husband's appearance, Helen, woman-like, burst into tears.
"He'd been beating me for a year, so I thought I'd beat him up for a change," she sobbed. "But I didn't mean to hurt him so."
