It is just as stopped for 21 years and had now been restarled.

A FRENCH officer was discussing the war with me. We had just visited the British Field Force. He summed up the situation thus: "So far the enemy have encountered flesh only (in the East), but now they will come up against on-and "encore" still make up the bone."

And here, in these new Con- temptibles, behind all the banter and songs and jokes that were there 25 years ago, is something new, that "bone"-the bone-hard fixity of purpose which prompted my French officer's remark.

Wounded Austrians complain that they had been promised that they would be allowed to return to their homes, not Western Germany, which the Gestapo suggested as a precaution, Himmler's Gestapo swooped and made a large number of arreals.

It is now an established fact that a number of male bodies with bullet wounds in the neck, have been re- covered from the Rhine in Holland.

Car Stopped

Rargees report seeing bodies of men and women floating in the Rhine.

This story was told by a respon- sible business man, the subject of a neutral country,

"I was motoring through Dusseldorf last Monday night when my car was stopped by a number of armed Storm- guards who said it would be com- mandeered.

NAVY. "DISGUISED

AS WATER" THE troops are ever mindful of the wonderful protection afforded by the Navy during Sinne long years of the last war. On the way to France every» one was conscious of this and the supreme confidence in which the Navy are held.

Typical of the feeling, ex- pressed Cockney fashion, was this conversation on the way over to France,

No doubt some of the newly freshly arrived troops, with their acquired "mastery" of the language. would have voted the young French- man's knowledge of English, no bun.

The spirit of the troops is excellent. You'll go on hearing that phrase, no matter how long the war lasts. The mosi cer- post-war historian will iainly have it as the central theme of his record.

Thanks to that spirit, the troops can make fullest use of their "off duty" periods. I watched quite a brilling football match between the Sergeants' mess and the other ranks of a well-known corps.

THE NAVY BEATEN THE Navy gallantly continue to muster up an eleven though there are so few to choose from, and they cannot reach a very high standard. But a game of cricket is a game of cricket, anyway, and it may be there will be bettor times in store for them.

On Saturday last they could not manage more than 04 against the Recreio second eleven, which is not too weak this yeat! Indeed, it my memory, serves me there are two or three former members of the first eleven playing. They only won by Lour wickets, however, and their total was considerably improved by 33 not out by J. A. Soares going in they will be a number ten. But team to be reckoned with when it comes to n question, of Lengue Hames.

FUTURE CRICKET

FOR the next month or so it is to be expected that games will be rather scratch affairs lowing to the various camps and training. It is to be hoped how- ever that it will keep going somehow and that by the end of the year the Clubs may have their strongest. teams turning out regularly.
