HANK'S HOT DOOS

HATE GROWS IN A TORTURED COUNTRY

The apparently suicidal

road which Rumania has A Picture of

taken has two main causes, her geographical position between Germany and Russia, and the extra- ordinary ignorance of Rumanian public opinion. Long before the Germans took physical control, their pressure by threats had produced such a censor- ship that the country had very little idea not only of what was going on in the outside world but of what even its own leaders were doing. The Rumanian broadcasts from London were, and still are, about the only source of authen- tie news.

The appalling political massacre which has taken place recently shows the influence which Nazi methods have had on this

tortured country and the lack of any real control of the violent elements in it.

Those men who were kill- ed were many of them men who knew too much about the Germans' plans.

The events in Rumania which have followed the Germans' loud declamu-

(noted expert on Rumania and author of many books on that

provided the most striking example of just what that "new order" brings. What- ever the mistakes made by Rumania's politicians in the past, and the corrup tion that has been ramp- ant for years, it is fair to say that Rumania has been remarkably self-con- tained and contented.

Nazi Germany has changed all that. It has .seized half of Transyl- vania, the precious pro- vince regarded by the Rumanians as the cradle of their people, it is strip- ping the land of food sup- plies, so that there, where there has always been such an abundance as to

a growing shortage of necessities of life. On top

of this, the legal system of the "new order" has come into force-the seizure of property without just cause, the execution of men without trial, and all the horrors of the Gestapo.

But in Rumania, as everywhere, is increasing evidence that this "new of the most important order" is going to be one factors in destroying Nazi Germany. Already the confusion which has re- sulted from German in- trigue is producing that dislocation of business and traffic which is most L, setting for the Germans.

The fear of Germany is growing steadily in all classes to bitter hatred. The magnificent fight which the Greeks are mak-

ing, the reports of British

successes which are filter-

ing through, help to en- courage the suffering Ru- manians.

There may not be much that they can do openly as yet, but from my know- ledge of Rumania I am sure that the German oc-

tions about the benefits-of-make the traveller_think_cupation is going to be he had come to a land of made increasingly-uncom- their "'new order' in

rather shocking, therefore to see a drummer with a glum face, sitting by the stove in the hut where we were rehearsing for the Camp Concert.

Behind him, two drummers -one with a cut knuckle, the other with a swollen lip-were indulging in Barcastic com- mentary.

"Curly's in love!" "That's it. Curly's in love with a Naffy girl."

Curly said nothing. He shrugged his shoulders and stared at the stove.

A huge Corporal with a mouth like a break-back rat- trap and the eye of an execu tioner-a gaunt, grim, leather- faced veteran of many cam- paigns, who for some dark, reason is known as "Bears-

* * IT was obvious that Bears-

the

breath, also, knew meaning of gloom; of the peculiar, brief, sudden gloom of the soldier, who, committed to the Army for many long years, occasionally thinks of soft beds and white table- cloths.

He took his pipe out of his mouth, and said: "Sup, son? Browned orf?" Curly did not

answer.

"Lost yer tongue, son?" "No," said Curly,

Then wassup?" "Nothing." yon?" "How old are yo "Sixteen."

"Sixteen when?" "To-day." the "So that's it," Hald Corporal; and tamped down the fiery ashes in his pipe with an insensitive finger. "Wan- na see ya ma an' pa. That it? Curly shrugged.

"Get 'ny birthday presents, son?" "Nup."

"Dad in work?" "Nup." "Ma?" "Sick."

"Life ain't all wine-gums and doughnuts, ya know," said

Bearsbreath. "I'm all right,” said Curly.

hut, and then returned. "Eeyar," he said; and dropped into Curly's lap a quarter- pound slab of nut-milk choco- late. "Many appery turns."

"Ta," said Curly,

"'Alf a mo," said Corporal Bearsbreath; and fumbled un- der his blouse. "Like this?" He held up a canvas belt with money-pouches in it.

It was easy to see that this belt. had gone with himn through all the vicissitudes of his hard forty years. It was encrusted, from end to end, with dozens of glittering regi- mental badges and numerals.

Old soldiers treasure such belts, which often represent all that they have to show for a lifetime of soldiering.

Curly said "Cool"

"I dowannit. You can 'ave it," said the Corporal, and stamped out of the hut.

"Let's look!" cried the two other drummers. "Let's sec." "Ain't it a smasher?" said Curly, Inughing and sniffing at the same time; while the Lad from the Elephant and Castle, wide-eyed, said: "Wot on earth come over ole Bears- breath?"

"Other children may cry but i Ilke my faxative-that's because mother gives me Castoria-|| tastes so good! mmmh!"
