LISBON.

FOUND Dr Bloch, the seventy-one-year-old Jewish physician whom six-year-old Adolf Hitler used to call "Uncle Doctor," in a modest third floor buck room of a Lisbon boarding house, where he and his wife were waiting for a boat to take them to their daughter in New York.

oki Ten days previously the couple left the lile Austrian town of Linz, where for the last forty- five years. Dr Bloch, as the kindly comtry doctor, ind ministered day and night to rich and poor.

sort, propagandist

We desire again to be friends with the Italians; again to feel towards them as our great writers felt in the last century: Browning, Swin- burne, Meredith. We may as-

them of this desire. But is there much, that the friends of Italy could do in this country that could be more effective than the im- becile maunderings of their own tyrants at home?

After the Greek victories,-- the North African campaign, Bardia and the rest, can it be pleasant for anxious Italians in half-starved cafes to listen to Jeremiads of "woe, woe!" from Ansaldo?

Can it convince them that they are winning to be told that every defeat is an "in- cident."

Abore all can it relieve their wounded feelings to hear (as they have this week) that whatever may happen Italy never, never will desert. Germany?

Part of the final blow of propaganda against Haly may be left to Mussolini! (Daily Mirror).

Setting The French To

Work

The German locusts have been feeding on France for the insi five months, and now there is little left for them to eat. Now the Germans are determined to make the French work fur them. The two million war prisoners are going to work in Gemany, and their upkeep will, under the ferns of the armistice agreement, be paid by the French Government. The French unen- ployed are being tempted to sign Contracts for work in Germany, It is announced that in Paris alone 13,000 have already signed on. The Gemmuns are keen to get under contract men ferm the engineering and building trades. The contracts bind the men to stay in Germany for as long as they are needed. Lastly, those Industrial workers who are left in France will work. chicfy for Germany's war needs,

"I had wanted to take an air- plane direct here from Vienna," sald De Bloch in a quavering voice as he sat on the bed talking to me, "but the Lufthansa men warned me that while they were prepared to give me seal, as a great favour,

THAT is the extraordinary thing about this Dr Bloch. Despite everything, he is proud of having been family doctor to the

Hitlers.

But he won't speak of Hitler's Winess. "Way back before the Anschluss, u wilter come and asked ine about Hitler's illness. What a good thing I preserved any med

medical secrecy and refused to say any thing. Just think what would have happened otherwise when the Nazis come in. To this day I have never disclosed anything concerning the illness of the family Hitler."

"Do you know," said Frau Bloch, "Hitler hadn't forgotten my hus- band? When he drove through

Linz after his entry into Austrin in 1930 he passed our house and waved up to mir window with a special mile."

The old doctor nodded confirma- tion, "That is say, my dear," he said, "that

The following are extracts taken from a letter just re- ceived by a well-known British firm in Hongkong from an officer of its parent organisation in England. Each month, the writer eirculites such a letter to all the oversea branches of the organsiation in order, as he says, to give an idea of conditions at Home and particularly of the spirit of the English people.

"hanging lie." Little Adolf, furious at the de- feat in Egypt, asked him what had happened to his army and navy, about which he had boasted so much. "I only told you," said Musso, "they were in good running order. Besides, what can we do against the Australians? Eleven of them beat all Eng- land two years ago."

"Anyhow, Wops are going cheap in Egypt to-day—as for Wop Generals, you simply can't give 'em away. A litlo Cockney corporal, Д keen fisherman in days of peace, was put in charge of some 257 prisoners-but only arrived buck with 250.
