Norway, Holland and Denmark Rave been plundered until the na- tives live in a chronic state of hunger. The French government in London is in a position to give almost exact figures of direct levies of food by the Germans in Fiance since June, 1940, which re- veal the extent of German reliance o -i looting in one country alone to seed their own armies and people. The Nazis have also "bought" great quantities by means of paper marks In spite of the dislocation, re- moval and appropriation of French industries, Germany imposed a cost - of -occupation bill of 910,000,000 a day based on a figure of 4,000,000 'occupation troops. Notwithstand- ing the fact that there are probably not more than 1,000,000 German soldiers in France today, the Nazis still demand their 010,000,000 a day for their maintenance, the bal. ante being clear financial profit.

The island group is 000 miles from Rabaul, 2,- 000 miles from Yokohama, and 3,- 500 utiles from Honolulu, Truk is a group of 250 islands enclosing a lagoot' that measures 130 miles around. There are four small gaps as entrances to this great harbor area, which is large enough to accommodate the entire Japanese fleet. The islands vary in size from a few square yards to a few square miles. But, even the small islands provide emplacements for anti-aircraft guns or heavier artillery. Gerinauy bought Trulc front Spain for Z1,000,000 in 1839. The Anterir ns had taken the islands from Spain in the Spanish -Ameri- ca war, but mace them back be- canse they had no use for teeth. The United States little thought then that Truk would be a fornild- able naval liege to be treed against the; Americans in 1944. Japan got the islands following the last war. It is going to take skill and dar- ing to capture Truk. But, it is one of the obstacles to overcome 00 the way to Tokio. Tripped Mink Keeps On Fighting For Life mink -life, to a mink, is a good and glad thing, Alan Devoe writes in The American Mercury. Its wild freedom, its stealth and' strength, its lusting and exulting, are not lightly to be surrendered. And so, when the hidden trap -jaws clang together on the leg of a mink, what happens is in the nature of a fearful thing. The mink, if it can, will gnaw off its leg in order to to go free. If it cannot free itself, there wells up in it st\ch a fury, such a surging compound of rage and hate and terror and malignance and despair, that many a trapper could wish that he had never watched it. A trapped mink sirarls, screams, scheeches, froths and spits. It looses from its musky glands a stench that is subtler but more sickening than the odor of a skunk,. and it fouls the trap and all the stir- rounding earth with as thorough a pollution as it can. Until the minute of death, a trapped nritk battles to withhold, from an un- , .known woman in a far metropolis, the pelt xvhich she will scarcely re- alize cane from an animal, and the life which she will scarcely know was ever lived. ,PROMOTED Major-General G. G. Simonds, D.S.O., 40, has been .pro - meted to the acting rank of 'lieu- tenant -general and to command of a Canadian corps. By e.4, VICTOR fJ ROSSEAU JL.

Lois reined in'BlacleDawn. "This is the place, Dave," she said, and slid from her saddle, to fall in a crumple heap' upon the grass. • Dave flung himself upon his knees beside her. The upper part of the ovorall% aleeady stiffened with blood, was wet with a new flow from the wound. Lois was breathing gently, lint she had dropped unconscton-. In the face, of the rocks fm- mediately to the right Of h.im Dave saw the entrance to a cave. He gathered the girl into his arms and staggered into it. Then he laid the girl clown on the pebbly floor. Dave tone off his scarf end made a. pad of it, compressing the wound' and holding it there for minutes.. When ho gently remov- ed it, there cane another spurt of blood. Again, this time for half an hour, Dave held the compress in position, and when he ventured to remove it the flow had dwindled to a small trickle. b * * He readjusted the bandages and went outside, unsaddled the hor- ses and left them to graze.. He tools a tin cup from his roll and felt his way foot by foot toward the sound of running Ovate,•. He found it little pool that splashed down into the ravine, filled the cup, carried it back to Lois and forced the contents down Iter throat. Spreading his blanket in the cave, ho :picked the girl up and placed her upon it. After that there was nothing to do but wait for dawn. It came after an innseaserable time, stealing down the ra--ine and glowing rosy upon thl mountain tops. Now it began to gt'ow' light inside the cave, and Dave eould see that this extended backward for a eousiderable distance, They , seethed secure enough, so hong as ' their food lasted.

Why, this was his girl—he'd known it from the first moment lie had seen .her.

"Morning, Ferris," Lonergan greeted his visitor. "Sit down and have a bite, won't you? I've got a quarter of an hour before Bold- ing the inquest over old Hooker." .0 +s Ile wiped his mouth with a napkin, leaned back, and surveyed Ferris with a sardonic look that was not lost on the ranchmap. Wilbur Ferris sank heavily* into a chair, "What the devil's all this mess about?" he demanded fiercely. "Damn you, Lonergan. I believe y00 brought that murdering cow- poke into this district for some Infernal reasons of your own. "Now that doesn't do credit to your intelligence, Ferris," respon- ded Lonergan, after draining his coffee. "Fact is, I never set eyes on Trim till he cane into the Wayside hest, day before yester- day, and paid off aid Hooker's mortgage interest" "I want to know what that girl, Lois Hooker, Is to yon," said Fer- ris. "What dill you bring the Elookers here for, and why have you kept them here these twelve years past? And why did you de- cide that the time had conte to get rid of them?" "Go easy, Ferris," Lonergan ad- vised him. "You don't want to worry about my husiness. I've stood by you a good while now, when you'd have been down and out, and--" Yep, you've about drove me to nil, limit, Lanergaa," answered Ferris. "You put that man Cur- ran in ulrarge of the Cross -Bar, and you sent away my good cow- hands and brought in a gang of Mexicans. "And now this Bruce feller comes along and plays hell generally, anti, after his murdering old Hooker, that girl, Lois, stages a rescue from •lite Lynching party. I tell you, it don't loon straight to me. I want to know what's be- hind 11." 1 * *' Lonergan bit off the end of a cigar and lighted it. He emitted a puff or two of smoke before re- plying. "So you. thiuk I've ridden you too hard, Ferris?" he asked, "Well, maybe I have seen my advantage and taken it when it come along. Lemma see, Ferris," he continued in an irrelevant manner, "you must be close to sixty, if I'm not mis- taken." "What's that got to do with it?" demanded the ranchman. "Quite a. lot," said Lonergan. "Wiry go on worrying, and mud - dung your head with things that bother you? Ever think of a little place in California to end your days in peacefully? A. place where you won't have to think o f well, of me? I'd never tt'ouhle you, Ferris, if you should decide to Sell out to me.. "Of course, prises having drop- ped so Tow, I couldn't make you a very advantageous offer, but if you liked to .consider eight or nine thousand dollars—why, you could go a long ways with that In Cali- fornia." "You devil!" shouted Ferris, springing to his feet. "So that's what you've teed in mind, getting are out of the district! I guessed RI" "You guessed right, Ferris," an- swered Lonergan. There was a steely glitter in the judge's eyes now, in place of the sardonic look. "After all, Ferris, you owe the everything you've been, don't you? No, I'm not going back . over old times. But there's my offer." "The Cross -Bar's worth forty thousand, if it's worth a penny!"

"I'll make it nine thousand clear, if you accept my offer and quit within the next two weeks." k * 0 Ferris wee standing like a statue, but slowly his head and shoulders bowed. A look of utter misery came over his face, "Listen. Lonergan," he pleaded. "You know how I came into this district years ago—" "With Mane Rowland, your partner, who ran off with that check for the cattle," interposed Lonergan. "Ire made m3' home here. It's hard to hare to pull stakes and start afresh. If you'd make it twenty thousand I'd feel it might be done. But can't this business be settled somehow else?" "Nope," answered Lonergan de- cisively. "My offer's nine thou- sand, and it's got to be accepted or rejected within the next couple of days. , And two weeps to 'vacate. You'll have to excuse me now, Ferris, because they'll be waiting for me to impanel the jury." He walked past the ranchman, took clown. his hat from a stag's antler in the hall, and elapped it on his bead, Wilbur Ferris, who had been watching him in dumb despair, moved slowly toward the door. /Continued Next Week) TABLE TALKS Your War Saving Stamp Recipe The Food Industry of Canada has undertaken the huge task of selling 2 million dollars worth of War Saving Stamps during the month of February.
