Hitler, we read, has now issued leaflets with the Prime Minister's photograph, on which is written: “Wanted For Incitement to Murder.” an English exchange observes. Mr Churchill must have smiled when he heard of it. for it recalls another leaflet which demanded his body, dead or alive. This was posted on walls in the Transvaal during the Boer War, and announced: Reward—Dead or Alive. Englishman, 25 years old. about sft. Bin„ indifferent build, walks with a forward stoop, pale appearance. red-brownish hair, hardly noticeable moustache. talks through his nose, and cannot pronounce the letter s properly. Some of the characteristics of the Boer War notice remain with Mr Churchill today: the forward stoop and his pronunciation of “s'’ are among them, but there is no trace of that “hardly noticeable moustache." It would certainly spoil the bulldog face, which is now known and respected all over the world (Axis countries, of course, excepted).
