living in a little home in South Shields with his wife.
It was smuggled across the Ger- man frontler and has reached the I.L.P. through neutral country. Declaring that the German people did not begin the war and do not want war, the message says:—
"We love our country, as you love yours. If our homes are going to be attacked, we shall defend them. But no peace for us with the present Ger- man Government; no political truce for us with the Hitler regime.
"In peace or in war our work goes on, the fight for the human rights of the German population, the fight against the Hitler regime and the Nazi war.
"In the trenches and in the muni- tion factories, on the markets and in the farmyards, we spread our leaflets demanding more food, higher wages, peace and the end of the Hitler reign.
BAYONETS AT BACKS
"If Hitler's ruthless warfare strikes your country in the same way as Po- land, remember the German workers do not want this war. If we remain silent, it is because behind our backs there is the armed force of bayonets.
"If we do not act now, realise that our hands are in fetters, chained." After stating that "till our last breath we shall fight for the future of our children, for the destruction
of the Hitler regime," the message con- cludes:
"Through terror and persecution we have remained Socialists and in the midst of death and destruction we see another world, a better world to come.
"In the citadel of tyranny and sup- pression we shall erect the new Ger- |man Republic, the free Germany!"

TO SEA AT EIGHT
"I began my sea career as a cabin boy when only eight years old," he told a reporter, "and became master of the same ship'some years later.
"During the whole of my career, on the seas, I have never lost a ship or a man, and I took. 169 ships safely to port during the last war.
"During an appeal by the ́ Admiral- ty in 1917 for means of combating the submarine menace, I dictated to my wife, a letter to the Admiralty—you see, I never learned to write--suggest- ing the idea of convoying ships. ¡
"Just afterwards my ship put into Yarmouth Roads and there was an officer waiting for me with a letter telling me to go to the Admiralty Im. mediately.
"I was shown into a room where there were two Admirals. One was Jellicoe.
"After explaining my idea of con voys, he banged the table with his. fists and said, 'That takes two thou- If it sand tons off my mind, and fails we're beaten.' "The date was May 8, and two days later the first British convoy left port.
"All I want now is a chance to go back to sea again and I think, now Admiralty that I am hard up, the might give me a pension to help us to live.
"They retired me as a deep-sea pilot two years ago after thirty years in the service. -
