EYDRICH the butcher has gone. The Nazis seem to think that he was worth five or six hundred Czech lives. The rest of the world considers that one dead rat would adequately represent his value. Nippon’s new song Japannia Rules the Waves turned out to be The Broken Melody..They thought it was a rhapsody in "A" but it went "B" flat. Petain announced: "M. Laval and I have shaken hands. We walk hand in hand." Perhaps the time isn’t far distant when they’ll run neck and neck, It is thought that when the ships of the Jap fleet met the U.S.A. navy at Midway they were .on their way "down under." Some of them arrived. It is reported that the Emperor of Japan decorated the admiral of the Midway fleet; probably with the "Order of the Bath (extra wet).
The Germans threaten to treat the Free French in Libya as irregulars. If it’s irregular to pull a Nazi’s nose, then they are. A Sydney man claims to have invented the midget submarine during the last war. They suit the Japs all right, but probably the Aussies thought they’d be too tight under the arms. Britain’s growing might! Hitler’s growing mightn’t! Germany is throwing in everything it has. Russia is throwing out what’s left of it.
