The French government in London is in a position to give almost exact figures of direct levies of food by the Germans in F ante since June, 1940, which re- veal the ,extent of German reliance on looting in one country alone to feed their own arn.ies and people. The Nazis have also "bought" great quantities by means of paper sparks In spite of the dislocation, re- moval and appropriation of French Industries, Germany unposed a cost - of -occupation bill of $10,000,000 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 $10,000,000 a day for their maintenance, the bal- ance being clear financial profit.

The island group is 900 miles from Rabaul, .2,- 000 miles from Yokohama, and 3,- 500 miles from . Honolulu. Truk is a group of 250 islands enclosing a. lagoon 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. Germany bought Truk from Spain for £1,000,000 in 1359. The Americans had taken the islands from Spain in the Spanish -Ameri- ca war, but gave then back be- cause they had no use for them. The United States little thought then that Truk would be a formid- able naval base to be used -against the.Anlericans in 104.4. Japan got ;tlie_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 on the way to Tokio. Trapped 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 such a fury, such a surging compound of rage and hate and terror and malignance and despair, that many a trapper could wish that be had never watched it. A trapped mink snarls, 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 sur- rounding earth with as thorough a pollution as it can. Until the minute of death,' a trapped prink battles to withhold, from an un- known woman in a far metropolis,. the pelt which she will scarcely re- alize came 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- moted to the acting rank of lieu- tenant -general and to command of a Canadian corps, By ' VICTOR ROSSEAU CHAPTER XV' They were almost at the bottom o1 the ravine, for beyond it the cliffs toweled up to meet the coal- black sky. There was green grass underfoot, and the sound of a riYu- let ' failing from the rocks above, Lois reined in Black Dawn. "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 overalls, already stiffened with blood, was wet with a new flow from the wound. Lois was breathing gently, but she had dropped unconscious In the face of the rocks im- mediately to the right of him Dame saw the entrance to a cave. He gathered the girl into his arms and staggered into it. Then he laid the girl down •on the 'pebbly floor. Dave tore off his scarf and made a pad of it, compressing the wound and holding it there for minutes. When he gently remov- ed it, there came 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. * * * He readjusted the bandages and went outside, unsaddled the hor- ses and left them to graze. He took a tin cup from his roll and felt his way foot by foot toward the sound of .running water. He found a little pool that splashed down into the ravine, filled the cup, carried it back to Lois and forced the contents down her throat. Spreading his blanket in the cave, he picked the girl up and placed her upon it. After that there was nothing to do but wait for dawn. It came after an immeasurable time, stealing down the ranine and glowing rosy upon the mountain tops. Now it began to grow light inside the cave, and Dave could see that this extended backward for a considerable distance. They seemed secure enough, so long as their food lasted. As he bent over the girl, her lips moved; he could just catch Today's Pattern Ir Look chcerfu as a sunbeam in this light-hearted deep -yoked frock, Pattern 4589 comes in misses' put together as a glance at the diagram will prove.

A sudden feeling of tenderness swept over flim. Why, this was ,his girl—he'd known it from the first, moment he had seen her, t, e t * Mescal was seething with excite- ment the following morning when Wilbur Ferris rode in. Curran had aroused the ranehman at dawn and informed him of the events of the night, and the futile attennpt to follow the trail of the fugitives. Tudge Lonergan's house was the substantial one. Lonergan's Mexi- can servant admitted Ferris into a comfortahiy furnise d living -room where Lonergan was seated at his breakfast table. "Morning, Ferris," Lonergan greeted his visitor. "Sit down and have a bite, won't you? I've got a quarter of an hour before hold- ing the inquest over old Hooker." * * * He wiped his mouth with a napkin, leaned hack, and surveyed Ferris with a sardonic look that was not lost on the ranehman, Wilbur Ferris sank heavily into a chair. "What the devil's all this mess about?" he demanded fiercely. "Damn you, Lonergan, I believe you 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 him till he cane into the Wayside Rest, day before yester- day, and paid off old Hooker's mortgage interest." "I' want to know what that girl, Lois Booker, is to you," said Fer• - ris. "What slid you bring the Hookers here for, and why have you kept then here these twelve years past? And why did you de- cide that the time had coxae to get rid of there?" "Go easy, Ferris," Lonergan ad- vised Bine. "You don't want to worry about my business. 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 my limit, Lonergan," answered Ferris. "You put that man Cur- ran in charge of the Cross -Bar, and you sett away my good cow- hands and brought in a gang of Mexicans. "And now this Bruce feller comes along and plays hell generally, and, after his murdering old Hooker, that girl, Lois, stages a rescue from the lynching party. I tell you, it don't look straight to me. I want to know what's be- hind it." Lonergan bit off the end of a cigar and . lighted it. He emitted a puff or two of smoke before re- plying. "So you think I've ridden you. too hard, Ferris?" he asked. "Well, maybe I have seen my advantage and taken it when it come along. Lemme 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 ianchman. "Quite a lot," said Lonergan. "Why go on worrying, and mud- dling 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 trouble you, Ferris, if you should decide to sell out to me. "Of course, prices having drop- ped so low, I couldn't hake you a very advantageous offer, but if you liked to 'eansider 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 had in mind, getting me out of the district! I guessed it!" "fou 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 me 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!" Ferris shouted. "I'd say it: will be nearer fifty, when prices lift," responded the Victory Chop Suey 2 tablespoons fat ? teaspoon salt 1 cup sliced onion 1 cup greets pepper strips 34 pound fresh pork cut into strips 1 cup celery strips ¢ cup uncooked rice 1». teaspoons Soy Sauce 4 bouillon cubes 2cups oved-popped rice cereal 4 cups ltot water 1. tablespoon butter Heat fat in heavy frying pan; add onions and creat; cook until lightly browned, Add rice and stock made by dissolving bouillon cubes in hot water.

"I'll make it nine thousand clear, if you accept my offer and quit within the next two weeks." e * Ferris was 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 Blane Rowland, your partner, who ran off with that check for the cattle," interposed Lonergan. "Ive made my home here. It's. bard to have 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 weeks 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 ranehman, took down his hat from a stag's antler in the hall, and clapped it on his head. Wilbur Ferris, who had been watching him in dumb despair, moved slowly toward the door. /Continued Next Week) T ELE TALL Your War Saving Stamp Recipe The Food Industry of Canada has undertaken the huge task of selling 2 trillion dollars worth of War Saving Stamps during the month of February, This column presents a penny saving recipe, which will help you buy your War Saving Stamps.
