Count the "TELEGRAPHS"

everywhere

Strange words caught my eye-STALAG XXA, Germany.

sorrow

Then I read the mes- sage that has brought to nothing but hundreds of wives and mothers but which I had never even dared to hope

for.

"He Is Well"

All it told me was that Ted was a prisoner of war, though someone in the busy offices of the International Red Cross had found time to add in his own handwriting the three words, "He is well."

How he came to be taken prisoner I shall not know until the war is over and won, for that is one of the things a prisoner does not write about, one of the many questions that cannot be answered for months, perhaps for years.

The hardest thing of all is that it is almost impossible to imagine the kind of life he la leading in Germany, and to write to him without mention- ing the war-or

even the weather until it's out of date.

He Is a Prisoner of War

You begin to have all sorts of weird

You suspicions, read sinister meanings into the most innocent remarks.

Lust autumn, for instance, I was convinced for a time that although he was obvious- ly writing his own letters they were being dictated to him.

They just did not sound like Ted. He who had been mak- ing me a special allowance out of his army pay and who had always been such a thoughtful son, was, writing for huge quantities of foodstuffs and cigarettes he knew I could not afford to buy.

He even asked for some of the things I knew he did not like.

Suspicions

One of my letters told him that we had moved to another address. I never thought of and the fears

suspicions which that might put into his mind until months later I got his reply.

"I hope there are no bombs near," he said, "and that the old home is still standing."

But then I had never spoken to him about air raids, I-had

no

idea how much news of home he was getting.

Even now I do know whether he gets his news from official German bulletins, or from the Swiss and American representatives of the Inter- national Red Cross who visit the camps.

What a welcome those neu- tral visitors must get from hundreds of British Tommies starved for news of home!

Who are his friends? What does he do with himself all day? What does he get to eat? How does he spend his leisure time?

These are the questions I ask in my letters to Ted.

Only a few of them get an- swered. But gradually, letter by letter, I am beginning to

get a shadowy picture of his life. It's rather like piecing together the bits of a jig-saw puzzle.

Now that spring luas come he will be going to work on the ronds-heavy work for a Ind who has never done that kind of thing before, but I'm glad all the same.

I could tell from his letters written during the long win- ter months that the idleness was worrying him, that time was hanging heavy on his hands.

His last letter was full of good news. He has grown to 5 feet 10 inches and weighs 11 stone again--at first he had gone down to nine stone.

And the Red Cross food parcels are getting through all these regularly after months of delays, though they are arriving in bulk instead of as parcels for individual pri-

soners.

Another World

People are full of sympathy for me because my only son Yet I is a prisoner of war. think I speak for hundreds of mothers who had mourned their boys ns dead when I say that, so long as he has enough. to eat and clothes to wear, I am not worrying about Ted.

It's strange to have your son living almost in another world, but I think of those thousands of other boys who will never come back, and I know then that I am lucky.

I may have to wait months,. perhaps even years, but one day Ted will come home..

Ending Petrol Waste

Tighter Control

As Alternative

While the basic petrol ration books for May, June and July, now avail- able; contain the same number of coupons as before, and officially

there is no threat at the moment of a reduction in the next supplemen- tary issue, it is understood that con- cern is felt about motor fuel supplies. Consumption is rising faster than was allowed for. Besides the

in- crease in the number of private carn in use, stated during the Budget debate to be 77,000 higher than a year ago, and the expanding de- mands of the Services, there is ovid- ence that supplies are being wasted or misused on a potentially serious scale.

This, if not checked, may lead to stricter control of rationing. Fur- ther curtallment of civilian supplics would first of all affect the private motorist.

Misuse Of Coupons

The present position, an authority stated would suggest that all com- mercial and Service WEers have petrol is burn.

The private owner can nearly al- ways get extra fuel if he has friends in the right places. There is stated to be much misuse of coupons, and not all of it contravenes the letter of the law,

Complaints of waste by the Army гарде from are widespread; they units in rural districts right up to the War Omco. Whitehall regularly employs motor-cyclists to deliver nensagen which business house would send by post.

A national call for economy is one of the incasures proposed, with more tringent rationing as the alternative. While the Services must have every egitimate need mot promptly, it is hinted that to prevent waste petrol for training purposes might well be rationed.
