ON THE DEFENSIVE

Botnikoved by King Bature Byndicats.

The Nazis usually send out only pictures of attacking Gorman troops or pictures of battle successes, but here is one that was dispatched to New York baaring the follow ing caption, passed by the Berlin consort "German troops prepare a position to moot powerful Soviet tanks somewhore on tho Russo-German front." When even Goebbels, propaganda machine makes such an admission, it is a good indication of the difficulties which the Gorman armies have to face in this struggle with Russia.

THREE MILES

A further episode from the not-so-very PRIVATE LIFE OF

A PRIVATE THERE comes into the

hut one of the most feared and hated men in the Battalion the Striped Sergeant.

He'is feared and hated, not because of any in- trinsic unlovable qualities. Simply, he is an Instruc- tor of Physical Training.

So we shun him. We fear him. We wish him else. where.

When he next comes into the hut, Siberia puts on his blackest scowl, which is some- thing very black indeed, and suddenly remembers a press- ing engagement.

Charlie the Chancer, in whom the seeming injustice of P.T. has been simmering for many months, cries:

"I'll go to the C.O. I'll go to the War Office! I'll join the Blasted Foreign Legion!

"They can send me to the. Glasshouse! They can take me out there"-he points in the direction of the Y.M.C.A. "and fill me full o' lead. But I won't do no more P. ruddy- T. to day. Now P

"Take it easy," 'Striped Sergeant, mildly. "You're not going to have any P.T. to-day.

"Instead of lounging round the camp next Wednesday afternoon, guess what you're going to have?",

"What?!! we, ask, with: sinking hearts.

"A nice cross-country run. What are you looking 80 down-hearted about? It's not a proper run. Only three miles.

"I'm going to break mo legs wiv, an fron bar," says Char: lie the Chancer. "They can gimme fifty years in solitary ruddy confinement, and a mil- lion strokes of the cat.: I'm'y not running, ⠀⠀

"You ain't got no M.P."

"Oh? So I ain't got no M.P.7 I'm write to every newspaper in the ruddy coun- try. I'll bite me knee-cap off. BUT I WILL NOT RUDDY- WELL RUN !"

Next Wednesday he runs.

A three-mile course is map- ped out. We parade. The officers are there, too, in flan- -nel-trousers---and--cricket sweaters-even the fattest of all the officers, who looks like. three men rolled up for trans- port in something knitted.

An N.C.O. fires a blank round. To everybody's as- tonishment, everybody else starts vigorously, laughing and whooping, as if this were fun.

Sergeant Dagwood, run- ning like Nurmi the Finn, forges ahead, casually biting

a broken nail as he flics. Siberia, panting like Black Bess in her last furlong, gal- lops furiously.

The Bridge comes and goes. The road slides under us and back. We make it. We finish.

Our disgust is mitigated when we observe Charlie the Chancer, with a triumphant smile, waiting for us in the enclosure. He has come first in the Battalion.

"It was nothing," he says. The Striped Sergeant, having witnesses to prove it, puts him in the Report for cutting two miles off the run a short cut. Charlie swears that there is no jus- tice on earth,
