Reflections From A Newsman's Jottings

(By Kenneth Downs, INS. Correspondent)

THE DEMARCATION: LINE: between, occupied and unoccupied France is now as tightly guarded as a frontier between hostile countries. Troops of cavalry, bicycle patrols, snipers with telescope sights, dogs, barbed wire entanglement and land: mines are slowing down the “underground railway.”

Many have been killed trying to get through lately: still more have been arrested. Not even for- eign diplomats are allowed to go back and forth now, except in very special cases. Legations in Paris can only send couriers out about once a month.
