economy have resulted in a hate that is
difficult to conceal. Politicians advocating an
understanding with Germany, as for example
Deat, are criticized everywhere. The adver-
tising signs of the OEUVRE of which Deat
is editor are torn down, or the word "von"
is put before his name to indicate his rela-
tions with the Germans. People speak of
"greenness" with scorn in the presence of
German soldiers (their uniforms are green).
People are ostentatiously shocked when
French girls are seen with German soldiers
(which happens frequently). Disgust is shown
without a word being said. People who have
much to do with Germans are often boy-
cotted.
It is a known fact that the political writ-
ing in the public street toilets reflects the
opinion of the anonymous man in the street.
The most frequent items are: "To the gal-
lows with those who capitulated", "Laval-
Boche", "Death to the traitors", and from
time to time "Vive de Gaulle".
People of all classe s say to you: If this
continues you will see a revolution i n some
months. Some say it with regret, others with
hope. But all agree that it will come sooner
or la ■ Pr.
There was open rejoicing when English
planes bombarded the Villacoublait air field,
which happened three times during my stay
of about two weeks. It is related with pleas-
ure that in Le Havre, during a German offi-
cers' banquet a bomb fell amon g them, kill-
ing many. British radio news is spread eager-
ly. but de Gaulle is not universally popular.
I likewise found many people who didn't put
their faith in England. But there is no hes-
tancy in preferring the English to the Ger-
mans.
Another joke is recorded in these interesting
reports corning from underground anti-Nazi
sources as follows, under the heading "What's
In a Name?":
After the Germans had occupied the German
city of Mulhouse in Alsace it was deemed
proper that an important street be renamed
in honor of the Fuehrer. After long delibera-
tion the city council decided to christen the
Rue du Sauvag e "Rue Adolf Hitler." Towns-
people now can ask directions: "Please tell
me where i s Rue Adolf Hitler, formerly
Sauvage." The former name of the street in
German was "Wilder Mann".
These revelations of actual occurrences inside
Nazi-controlled territories are encouraging. They
indicate that the existing terror can not last long
and that better days are sure to come. When
the day of reckoning arrives, the transgressors of
justice will pay the full price for their bar-
barities.

And—How Is Your Lawn?
By the way, how is your lawn? have you
planted new bushes? Are the weeds out? Have
the flowers come up?
You'll be able to cuss Hitler better if you
take care of your lawn before you read your
evening newspaper.
