Dangerously The disappearing diplomatic bags . - that vanished recently to turn up lateron an unattend- ed lorry - once: again brought into the headlines the vitally important and hush-hush work of the Queen's Messengers, Foreign Office couriers who carry top-secret State docu- ments to and from foreign capi- tals. • One member of this romantic body .estimates that he has tra- velled more than 1,000,000 miles during the last eight years, all on highlyimportant missions for the Foreign Office. „ It is a cast-iron rule that in po circumstances must a courier allow his diplomatic' case to be out of his sight. So when Sir Henry Johnson was aboard an aircraft which developed en- gine trouble over the Andes not so` very long ago, his first thoughts were for the safety of the diplomatic papers he was taking to Peru. As the aeroplane pancacked on to a stretch of flat ground which the pilot had fortunately spotted, Sir Henry gathered his precious satchels and prepared to remove them, lest the ma- chine caught fire. Then, in a howling wind and under a bit- terly cold sky, he mounted guard over them until rescuers arrived from Lima several hours later, Naturally, some of the most dangerous journeys have been made in war -time, when the conveyance of secret • documents becomes vital, and the enemy strives to outwit the couriers, The adventures of the Knights of the Silver Greyhound (as the corps ere often called) in World War II have yet tobe oMcially revealed, but if their experi- ences ' wre anything like those of Messengers in World War I they ' will make thrilling read- ing. Perhaps the most experienced and most intrepid courier of all time was Sir Park Goff. He covered hundreds of thousands of miles on Foreign Office mis- sions, travelling by rail car, ship, and even sleigh and sub- marine. In the 1914-1918 war he defied enemy agents by crossing the Channel eighty times, the North Sea thirty times, and the Mediterranean twenty-two times, in addition to visiting more dis- tant parts of the world, He. sustained a broken leg and eight broken ribs when a ship taking hm across the North Sea was torpedoed, yet he ` refused to be "invalided out" of the Sil- ver.Greyhound corps. The Queen's Messengers have an astonishing record of suc- eesses. Only very rarely spice the founding of the corps by Charles 11 has a British diplo- matio. bag (ellen into wrong lrands,' One studs mishap occurred Myago, years ag , when a crawler taking Stele papers Overland 10 Italy Was delayed at a mountain inn. Eager to deliver the dem- mete/ 'without 'further loss of time, he Was delighted when • a fellow traveller offered him a lift' in a .sleigh. Only a few miles had been covered wheh the driver , pulled the horses sharply to one sine. The courier was thrown head- long. into a snowdrift. Stunned and bleeding, he recovered in time to see his "benefactor" be.- ing driven away with the dip- lomatic bag. Pursuit was im- possible, and the papers were n'eve'r recovered A second mishapto a Messen- ger's satchel :secured when a ship- bringing him from Greece ,was held up by a U-boat. As soon as he realized what was happening, the courier threw his case overboard. But to .his con- sternation it 'floated and was re- covered by the crew of- the sub- marine. As s result of this incident; all, British diplomatic bags are now weighed, so that they will sink immediately if they have to be jettisoned. Though the courier's resource- fulness failed on that occasion, in many other instances quick thinking has resulted in des- patches being safely delivered, despite great difficulties. Major 'Alfred Custance, whose exploits rivalled those of Sir Park .Goff, was once entrusted with Carrying secret war re- ports tp Britain from Holland Warned by the Foreign Office that the ship taking him across the North Sea would probably be, intercepted by the enemy if his presence aboard was known, he embarked inside a crate labelled "Margarine."' Another wearer of the Silver Greyhound badge thwarted Mexican bandits who captured him. He threat- ened to commit suicide if they stale his 'despatches, -,and con- vinced them that when the British authorities heard- of his death the robbers would be ,re- . lentlessly pursued until venge- ' ante was obtained His words so impressed the bandits that they quickly released, him Once a courier was arrested as a spy and condemned to be shot, despite the Greyhound badge whch he produced to prove his identity. He escaped the death penalty by clutching his dispatch -case to 'his breast and declaring that his Govern- ment would want to know why the documents were stained with blood. His captors reluc- tantly let him continue his jour- ney. One of the most vital secrets ever carried by a courier, how- ever, was entrusted to a woman messenger - the only instance ofone of -.her., sex being„ allowed to use the badge, Her job was to bring samples of high explosive from Sweden to England, after a . Swedish manufacturer had offered to meet an urgent British short- age. No messenger was avail- able in Stockholm, so for the.

She succeeded in taking the samples' to London. In conse- quence, the War Office was able to make a swift deal with Sweden, just at a time' when the suply of munitions for the Allied war effort was causing concern. Most of the forty -odd pres- ent-day Queen's Messengers are middle-aged family men. But, come tempests or revolutions, wars or earthquakes, the high aims of the corps are observed. The royal courier strives by any available means to complete his mission, no matter what the hazards and difficulties. It is a proud tradition handed down since Charles the Second enlisted four couriers during his exile in Holland. He gave them each a silver greyhound broken from the four corners of a porringer, and it has been their badge ever since. Taught Eskimos How To Build Snow Huts Imagine a tough Arctic ex- porer who has lived among Eskimos, and married an Eski- mo girl, being suddenly plunged Into the artificialities of Holly- woodl. Peter Freuchen, a Dane, who went there to write and act in the film "Eskimo," says there was a brass band and a crowd of _photographers and reporters when the company left to shoot the epic in the "Arctic wilder- ness" of northern Alaska. The press pictured him as a heroic Viking and Arctic chief- tain. They didn't' know that he was leaving the -train at the first stop from Hollywood and 'going back to finish the scena- rio, and would fellow the others later! t In the cast were a Chinese and two Japanese girls pray- ing Eskimos, and' when the, shooting began one turned up with heavq' make-up and mag- nificent hair -do. Freuchen asked, her to let her hair down as an Eskimo never looked .like that, but all she wanted to do was be beautiful, so he walked up to her and began pulling it down. "Help!" she screamed, ."Freuchen isattacking me." An excited crowd gathered. Finally, the producer, Van Dyke, calmed her by saying she could appear in full war -paint half the time if she would leave her hair unconfined for the rest Afterwards he explhihed to Freuchen that when she was "shot" in all her artificial splen- dour there would be to film in the cameral One morning the girls found that there was no fresh grape- fruit left for breakfast, only canned juice. At once they felt terribly weak, insisting they were sufteripg from vitamin de- ficiency and afraid of scurvy, All work had to be cancelled for several days while a 'plane fetched fresh fruit all the way ' from Seattle, Freuchen discloses' in a first- rate htitobiography, "Vagrant Viking" - translated by Johan Hambro -- that besides playing the villain he had to 'rite the publicity, so Made up 'fantastic stories that! caused a 'sensation, One yarn was that they'd struck gold in Alaska, and soon tables came pouring in from the act - Ors' wives urging there to go gold-preypgctino.

The action had to take place in an Eskimo village Of nine- teen snow -houses, but none of the local Eskimos had ever seen a snowhouse, so Freuchen had to build the lot himself, taking three days over it, Immediate- ly shooting began, a mild spell melted them all ,and the en- tire site was .flooded. All work was held _ up while the warm spell conitinuedefor several days. When they. .reported conditions to Hollywood the bosses there refused to believe them. The whole world knew that Alaska was always cold in winter, they cabled back, angrily. When the cold finally set in Freuchen had to wait for enough snow to fall before he could rebuild the village exact- ly as before. Scene after scene was shot, the finished reels be- ing sent to Hollywood by 'plane. Suddenly Hollywood sent a frantic stop signal. All the scenes taken in the rebuilt vil- lage had to scrapped because the background mountains, snow-covered in the first scenes, were completely bare fn the second lot. So Freuchen had to fly all over the country look- ing for snow-covered moun- tains. Flying back to Fairbanks one day with two of the girls, Freu- chen's 'plane crashed on broken ice on the - Yukon near Nulato because some Indians had moved the, landing markers. There was more trouble with the girls, who wanted the men to cook meals for them. Back in Holleywood, there were months of retakes. They had to build cabins, papier- mache snow houses, a replica of parts of the ship. Freuchen, forbidden to cut his hair or beard, suffered greatly from the California heat and felt foolish going about looking so unkempt LIVES SAVED BY SAUSAGE SKINS Dr. Nils Alwall of Lund Uni- versity, Sweden, is saving lives to -day with his artificial kidney "gun." A woman recently tried to commit suicide by swallowing - a bottle of sleeping tablets; she went into a coma, so often the the sleep of death. But, while she lay unconscious, The doctor got to work with his machine. Six bOurs later, she was up and about, dressing herself calmly, and telephoning home, basically, twenty six -yards of The doctor's kidney gun is, basically, twenty-six yards Of sausage skin --connected to a highly intricate cylindrical drum -of -stainless steel. -Through this engine the patient's blood is putnped and cleansed qf' noxi- ous poisons. ;And •the victim's natural kidneys, thus rested slowly resume their true service. In this way seemingly hopeless cases dying of alochol]c or nar- cotic poisoning ' end major ab- dominal operations are .flushed back to life, A person Bad now live for threeweeks without normal kidney function, says Dr. Atwell.

' One need not become a slave to the vices of the many because he Is a leader. Indeed he should set an example of righteousness be- fore them. Paul's exhortation to "Owe no man anything, but to love one another,"' is timely for today. Credit buying sounds easy -but many have gone In beyond their depth, The resulting frustra- tion leads to nervousness that may bring other ills and evils. The man who deliberately ig- nores his financial obligations will never inspire the confidence of his acquaintances. Those un- paid debts will contradict his testimony, however ,eloquent , it may be.
