DRIVE TOWARDS SALONIKA:

An official spokesman to-day said probably the most important of all operations from a strategic point of view is the drive along the Greek-Jugo-Slavian frontier north of Salonika. A thrust to Salonika would cut off Thrace from the remainder of Greece and hamper communica- tions between the Greek mainland and the many Greek islands. From pronounced

Adolf Hitler

Here are three children, Jane, Jacqueline and John. They are blind.

It would be difficult for Hitler to find weaker or more helpless opponents yet he is trying to destroy them.

At the actual moment this picture was taken, at the Sunshine Home for Blind Babies at East Grinstead, an air raid warning was sounded.

There is a touching story behind this picture.

When there is an air raid the Matron rings a bell. The kiddies are still ignorant of the meaning of a siren, but when they hear that bell, they prepare for a treat..

Naval Action

Wisely, the Matron has made the air- rald shelter a party-to which children who have been good are invited.

Sometimes they have meals there-and as a special treat they may even sleep there- during night raids.

When the bell sounds, six-year-old Jane hurrles to find her especial friends to take them to the party.

Those three ilttle blind children go to their shelter, gulded by a rope, ignorant of the fact that a mad beast is seeking their lives.

Jane, Jacqueline and John, weak and helpless, are yet terrible'accusers against the monstrous crimes of Hitler.
