STRIPPING THE FRENCH RAILWAYS

Details about the mass seizure of French rolling stock found by the Allies among secret Vichy docu- ments in Syria show, how desperate are the needs of the German State Rail-

way.

To remedy this shortage, which is more deeply felt every month, French rolling stock was looted immediately after the armistice. By August 4, 1940, there 1'e- mained 375,000 carriages of the 450,000 existing in September, 1939. By the beginning of this year only 250,000 corriages were left to France-just over half the French stock prior to the armistice and far below France's vital needs.

Lorries and motor cars were taken by the thousands but the Germans have been specially strict about military transport of all kinds.

As regards caterpillar vehicles, a Vichy official "bulletin" of February 15. 1941, reads: "Ger- man demands in this field reach the limit.

"Arguing that it was within its rights to obtain more dis- anmament guarantees in order to proceed with the war against Britain, the German Armistice Commission requested delivery or all caterpillar vehicles which up to then were only kept In stock, ammunition carriers and tank-carrier trucks," British Wireless.

DOUBLY MIRACULOUS

COMMENTING ON WEDNES- DAY'S GERMAN SPECIAL COM- MUNIQUE THE SWISS PAPER "NEUE ZUERCHER NACHRICH- TEN" WRITES:

"If the figures given corres- pond to the truth it appears doub- ly miraculous that the Red Army is fighting just the same without a sien of exhaustion, and is even hitting back."

The Berlin correspondent of the "Gazette de Lausanne" writes: "It is natural that the special communique should raise public morale after these long weeks of silence but for our part we have not observed any new fact in these military state- inents which, however, officially confirmed the Russian Army's importance und power of re- sistance, which nobody dured predict."--Reuter.
