ARRAY Tad + # Leaflets Warn: 'Your Skin Now' Messages Tell Axis Soldiers In Tunisia To Surrender British and Awerican gunners are sending over leaflets to per- 'to surrender In Turnisia, sdys the Windsor Star. Here ig' the trans. lation of one potent message: -- "The fate of the German Army In Africa is sealed. Driven into a corner, there is no way out for you. 'Fight to the last man' prob- ably: will be the watchword. Your leaders have only one thing moro to demand from you-- your life, "But your personal fate is not yet sealed.

The navy lioys tell a story of a British warship exchanging wise- cracks with a Focke-Wulf which was dogging a convoy, circling round and round. From the warship went the sig- nal: "For God's sake go round the other way, You are making uy dizzy." "Anything to oblige the Brit- Ish," came the reply from the air craft--and "it went around the other way, At that moment an armed-cruis- mistic round in the aircraft's di- rection and the warship signalled tho flyer: "That anywhere you?" "Miles away," replied the Focke- Wulf, and then he sheered off, } There is_ another story about H.M.S. Skate, Britain's oldest de- _ stroyer, and the only three-fun- nelled destroyer in the navy. She was challenged by another war. ship and asked, "Who are you?" The Skate is nothing, if not dig- nified, and she replied: "Church. I's secret weapon." British Soldiers Wear 'Hairshirt' Underwear made of a rough, string-like material and resem. bling a crocheted net bag with sleeves, is the latest issue to sev- eral units of the British Army, The rough material rubbing on the skin, its advocators claim, keeps the blood flowing swiftly so that the wearers generate their own extra heat. The issue is so far only experi- mental, but it is likely that men working in the open in cold weather, and marines and gun- ners of the Maritime Regiment who travel on the Russian con- voys, will be given it.

Vere-Vaughan's heart sank again, For some reason, he hadn't thought of that. Turuing to Khoda Khan Abazai, Wall Dad bade him make it clear to the Sahib that unless the Ma- lik's party could get a majority on their side jt was quite certain that he would very soon be sold to the Singing Hadji by the Malik, or else would fall into the Mullah's hands and be lucky if the Mullah --put-him to-death-- ly, without deceit or double mean- ing.

"Be it so, Khoda Khan Abazai," replied Vere-Vaughan. "I will make no false promises, nor undertake to do anything that cannot or will not be done. If I promise on be- half of the Sirkar or others, it Will be as if I promise for myself, Speak on."
