CROSSED WEST WALL'
A YOUNG English- woman who had travelled right through the Siegfried Line arrived in London re- [cently with her Hungarian husband, Dr. Lupkovics, after 1 journey from Slovakia which had taken two months and cost £150.
In the journey across Germany they ate hard- boiled eggs and cold bacon they had bought in Italy, because the German food was so poor.
In Holland they had their first hot bath in six weeks- you cannot get a hotbath in Germany because of fuel ration- |

"It will be won," he said, “by the realisation that courage must be met with courage, resolution with resolu- tion, Industry with more Industry.
"I disagree with the theory that! we are fighting one man and that the war will be won if he is overthrown. Our fight is ogalmat a series of prin- ciples of conduct of government, the continued existence of which is in-

"It Is essential that the population | should be enaiztained at such a time," Miss Jenner told the "Sunday Chronicle" recently, "and we hope we will have to make my £50 | payments."
Since war started, applications for brides and bridegrooms have doubled.
Young men of the Navy, Ariny, and Air Force are seeking wives; other A.T.S. and girls of the auxiliary forces want husbands. "Girls' opportunities of meeting men since the war began have been restricted because dances, theatres, and social clubs have closed down," cald Miss Jezner.
