Fails; Colonization Tried Now. By DAVID M. NICHOL

and The Chicago Daily News, Inc.

years of notable failure, the Nazis apparently have given up all hope

vincing them that they should join the new order as junior partners. In place of their previous policy, the Germans now have substituted a systematic program of depopulation aimed at weakening Dutch

opening the way for added penetration of Nazi colonists and Nazi finance, The plans provide for the already known “Dutch colonization” in the conquered eastern portions of Europe. New ruthlessness is evident in the seizure of Dutch hostages. Maj. Gen. Friedrich Ohristiansen, Nazi

{military commander of the Nether-

lands, announced additional arrests this week, among them Dutch Reformed church leaders, professors, former burgomasters and former political figures. Some 500 were seized a month previously. .

Only 185 So Far

The campaign to enlist “voluntary” colonists grows stronger daily in the Nazi-controled Dutch press and radio. Pressure is exerted by compelling non-military Dutch concerns to close their doors. The unemployed are registered and assigned to new tasks, in either Germany or the east. ‘Only a few hundred have so far ‘actually been transferred, however, 100 to Riga and another 85 to Kharkov. Meanwhile, Dutch capital is being compelled to finance the new venture through the “Netherlands East Company” which Reichmarshal Herman Goering’s Essener National Zeitung describes as the successor to the famed Netherlands

East India company.

FOR VARIATION, there is this advertisement: “FOUND: A tendollar bill, outside infirmary.

male: “What, other kind?” The sweet young thing asks what a “military objective” is. Her experienced girl friend replies: “Just walk past those two soldiers on the corner and you'll find out.” Of course, the soldier Romeo comes in for a bit of kidding, too. “Boy, you should have seen the

nurse I was out with last night,” sez Pvt. A. “That’s all right s B replies. “Tomorrow your mother may let you go out without your nurse.”

Never Enough Jokes

THEN THERE'S the question of the Girl-He-Left-Behind. “I'm sure she’s faithful,” says Pvt. Doakes, “but why does she mimeograph her letters?” The whole problem of woman, her irresistible attraction and the inevitable resultant complication, is summed up in the plaintive query of the private who wants to know who took the “M” out of “Dan Cupid.” If woman is the basis of the largest single category of army jokes, as she unquestionably is, the pun is still the most popular type of humor. The girl asks the doctor how to get rid of a little wart. “Shoot him or marry him,” repliss the medico. “Halt! Who goes there?” asks the new sentry. “Private Horse,” comes the reply. “Advance, Horsg, and ke mechanized.” And so they go ad infinitum. The soldiers never seem to get enough.

,|prisoners of war from a camp in

Victoria province have been thwarted by discovery of six large tunnels complete with electrical systems and stocked with clothing and equipment, it was revealed this week= end. Y The tunnels formed a subterranean system under the camp’s huts and leading toward the outer fence although none of them had yet ex= tended beyond the camp’s confines. All were six feet high. The longest A was 240 feet. 4 They were electrically lighted and along their walls were stacked im=provised rations, new civilian clothing, saws, hammers, mallets, screw= drivers, chisels and ropes. equipment was discovered secreted around the camp and in prisoners’ bedding. Military authorities who conducted the search after the first tunnel was discovered believed that the large scale break might have been intended to coincide with enemy operation against Australia. No prisoners have escaped from Australian camps by tunneling although several working outside prison enclosures have broken from

three Germans who escaped 10 days ago are at large in Australia.
