C. Fernand-Lauvent, former Paris editor and political leader who escaped from Nazi tyranny Jast December, gives the first de- tailed story of the sinking of the fleet in Collier's Weekly. When the Nuzis broke up the French-German armistice by un- dertaking the occupation of France last November 11, Hitler assured. Marshal Petain that the Nazis would not occupy the port or fortified positions of Toulon, M. Fernand-Laurent reports, This statement, designed to permit the Nazi Torees to pet to Toulon before the fleet escaped, was accepted by Marshal Petain, In the meantime, the Germans mined the Toulon "harbor en- trance, sewing up the fleet, and placed great siege puns tout the city. " : ~~ Orders Never Received In the carly morning of No- vmeber 27, Marshal Peta was handed a message from General Field Marshal Karl von Rund- stedt, the German commander, ordering the immediate surrender of the French fleet, M. Fernand- Laurent reports, Marshal Petain finally acceded to the German commander's de- mands and--gave instructions to 'order Admiral de Laborde to sur- render the fleet. These orders were cived by Admiral de "M. Ferand-Laurent reports, be- cause the "German commanders at Toulon cut every telephone wire on the night of the 26th and jammed all radio transmission in order to jsolate the naval base from the vest of France-- includ- nig Vichy." The only orders he had---those dating from the armis- tice commanded him to resist all aggression and sabotage the {leet rather than" surrender it. As the Germans filtered into Toulon, a gun on Admiral de La- borde's flagship Loomed. "It was the signal- the order to sabotage all ships, to destroy port installations, to spike the never re- guns of the coastal batteries," M. Fernand - Lamvent reporis.

Smith : Cultivation Killing garden weeds is only one of the functions of garden cultiva- tion. Of equal Importance is the stirring up of the soil to prevent sourness, baking, and to check evaporation of valuable anoisture. In the dryer section of Canada the latter point is vital. By break- ing up the surface we produce a mulch which checks the capilliary upward movement of moisture to the top of the soil suiface where it might he evap- orated by the sun, : Usually one thorovgh cultivation of the garden previous to planting, or among the perennials and shrubs early in the spring, folow- ed by a couple more at two-week intervals during tho summer gea- son, will be_sufficient. But in dry, years 3 when weed ErOow more may be needed. Hot Weather To keep grass, {lowers and vege- tables coming along all through -the hot summer, there are three or four points that the old gardener never overlooks. If one has a sup- ply of water and a hose, of course the job is easy. One good soak- ing a "week will keep things green and growing. A little garden fert- ilizer applied carefully according to directions is also useful,- Some people use muleh of strawy man- ure, grass clippings and such things, Cultivation will be found a most useful help. This will con- serve moisture and keep growth moving even in very dry weather. In the very hot weather, lawns are best not cut. too often, once a week or even every ten days will bo sufficient. Mowers should be set higher so they won't cut too close. This prevents the sun from getting at and burning the grass roots. The oftener flowers are picked the more freely will they bloom. 160 Octane Gas .

Outstand- ing deplorable fact is that people --who accept offerings of what aie illegal goods appear to be proud of having beaten the regulations and fooled officials who have the business of enforcement in hand. "~ These saboteurs of the war effort--there is no other name to apply to this kind of cheating scum -- would be imprisoned or 'shot in Germany and that is the punishment they deserve here. The seller and the buyer in a black market are equally guilty. What they are doing is to steal from their fellow citizens and to undermine sécurity and author- ity. a Price fixing and rationing of essential goods are not under- taken for amusement or as a pastime for our -natiomal offi- eials, The idea is contained in "urgent neceesity, designed to give fair and equitable distribu- tion of goods. It is practical so- cialism. When one man with more money than his neighbor is able 'to pay an illegal profit to the 'black marketeer, when he.
