Vichy Exonerates Sedan Commander

Gen. Andre George Corap, whose Ninth Army collapsed at Sedan last May and opened the fatal hole in the Allied front, has been exonerated by the Vichy Government, according to an Associated Press message.

The London Bobby is a front-line soldier of the air warfare on the Em- pire's Capital.

He still commands the diminished traffic in his customary dignified way ----six feet something of impressive blue-clad stoli- dity finds time to direct bewildered foreigners and tell small boys the time.

War has provided a host of new problems for London's famed Scotland Yard, Sir Philip Game, Commissioner of Metro- politan Police, began put- ting his force on a basis for possible war almost as soon as he had finished with the problems set by King George's Coronation in 1937.

Auxiliary police were enrolled in the special con- stabulary and a new war reserve force. Older offi- cers; who had retired on pension, were recalled. By this means the strength of the force was increased from its peacetime 18,000

A new department was set up at Scotland Yard to deal with the hundreds of anxious inquiries received after each night's bombing. Casualty lists are carefully compiled and printed on the yard's own printing press for circu- lation to local stations. It is a policeman also who pulls the lever which sets off the electric sirens to give the air ruid warning or the "raitlers passed" signal.

With the declaration of war many young offenders were taken to the country and the. criminal element took time to adapt itself to new conditions caused by a total black-out of the city. In September and October the crime curve drop- ped 10 percent. But when the bombing of London waa delayed, many evacuees re- turned to town and robbery increased again.

There are often whole streets to be roped off because of unexploded bombs, houses to be evacuated, Police duties also included removal of all direction signs from the streets and rounding up the hundreds of enemy aliens who suffered internment as "fifth column" suspects.

Automobile. thefts have dropped sharply but bicycle have risen. This probably is attributable to the dificulties of obtaining gasoline-now strictly rationed-as much as to the fact that police regula- tions now require every driver to lock or disable his car each time he leaves it in the street. This order,

which was directed against the Germans when invasion was feared, has proved equally discouraging to the automobile thief.

Traffic offences have fallen, too, because there are fewer cars on the streets. But, much of the time which the courts used to devote to automobile accidents now is employed in finding out who left the light

PROPHET ON 1942 VICTORY

THE Cairo prophet astrologer Mohammed el Hariri, whose war predictions, including the rout of France and Italy's entry into the war, have made him famous throughout the Near East, has just issued these further pro- phecies:

(1) The Freneli Cabinet will be reformed as Hitler wants it; but risings in France will crip ple German activities there; (2) The Nazis will smash through the Balkans, cross the Black Sea, and land in Iran, creating a state of "extreme tension" between the Nazis, the, Turks and Soviet Russia.

(3) The Nazis will lose a large number of aeroplanes in the Eastern Mediterranean.

(4) England will again be the tar

raids, but will show the same herole resls- tance. These raids will prove

even mare costly to Hitler than those of last year.

(5) Uprisings

and disturbances will occur throughout Nazi- occupied Europe.

(C) Japan will declare war on the Democracies. South-east Astu will become a vast battlefield. (7) The entry of the United States Into the war will have a de- cisive effect on the Axis

Powers, whose star will soon be wuning..

The prophet declares that the Axis will ask for an armistice early in 1042.

They Will Plan Future Britain

The panel of expert advisers on plans for the post-war re- construction of Britnin will number about 20. Lord Reith, Minister of Works and Build- ings, is now choosing the panel.

The possibility of Lord Bal. four of Burleigh being its prin- cipal member is strong. Sir Montague Barlow, the former Minister of Labour, is mention. ed as another likely choico.

To represent commerce the, name of Sir Ceel Welt is being mentioned. The trade union world will have a representative.
