IS GOING TO TRY AND GET EVEN
WITH WHENEVER THE TIME COMES THAT HE CAN DO SO. It is a sort of a vengeance book-future and contemplatedvengeance.
There used to be a story years ago about the fellow who kept what he called a "Hydrophobia List," and when asked what it was, he said it was a list of the people he was going to bite whenever he got hydrophobia. Well, that's what this little black book is. It is the peopls who took advantage of war conditions to see how dirty they could act toward him.
Now that man with his little black book is only a fair sample of Americans generally. I have a notion that there are mighty few of us who have not kept su,ch a list in some fashion.

The Law of Compensation is sometimes seen in war as plainly as the rising sun. For instance, the Third British fnfantry Division, which was the last to leave Dunkirk in 1940, was the first to land in France on D-Day, 1944. *d<*
Much talk about the "indispensable man." One speaker said there never was such a thing. Oh, friend! I'll have to take issue with you there !
