The Travelers will offer about as powerful a team as has appeared in Camden comix: lit Ion this season, (ia I lion Is a r> goal player, Harrison rates t>. O'Brien Is 3, and Burns Is 1, giving tire team a total of lf? goal power. The Wateree group will put out an S goal lineup as each meinbor of the team rates 2 goals. Captain Bates, probably one of the most optimistic members of the polo club Is agreeable 4o having the game Sunday afternoon played on the flat, in other words, without handicap allowance to his team. On the basis of goal power, the Watereo foursome should have a four or five goal allowance, but Oaptaln Bates will probably <1 ecTlri b t o a (Veep* any. The game Sunday afternoon will undoubtedly attract a big turnout of fans from Columbia, Wateree and that area as Bates enjoys the affection and esteem of a wldo following of friends thereabouts, all of whom will motor to Sunday's classic to cheer their favorites.

C. 43-45-47pd Brutal Methods Used By Nazis j London | III spite of rigid Nazi press and radio censorship, tho strict control of ilie mails, and tho activities of the Gestapo. news of conditions In Hitler's "conquered" states continue to filter through various channels to the London headquarters of the governments concerned-, , Information Is gathered from neutral broadcasts and radio listening services of embassies and legations over here. Occasionally couriers arrive in Ismdon from the continent, bringing with them dispatches which lift the veil of silence. They travel through the German-occupied territories under assumed names, and ostensibly on business. Their passports are always In order, and they vary with every Journey. From these and other sources which, naturally, have to bo kept secret, the $hadow Cabinets of Europe, now in Ix>ndon, piece together a comprehensive picture of life under Nazism. The people of German-occupied nations are no better than slaves, their lives directed to the glorification of uniformed Nazi (bullies. The Belgians The Belgians are today a race of fear-stricken whisperers. ' Brother distrusts brother; father suspects son. If 'more than two people stop to gossip at a street corner, they, are forcibly "dispersed" by the dreaded Verfugunstruppe of the S. S. armed police. They may he "plotting crime against the Reich." Gestapo agents are among the servants of every hotel, j l eading letters, prying into luggage, i and eaves-dropping on conversations. |?Every-other- postman-la a spy ^ I The bread ration has been greatly ' reduced. Even with this restriction ! it is anticipated that wheat stocks will be exhausted very shortly. It Is the country folk who are suffering the most. There is still a fair supply of : food available in the towns, and in I some cases the Germans have prepar| ed reserve stocks. But the rural H^eaa have been drained dry. At. with Holland, the N?*1a are uelng tho shortage for anUBrlttoh propaganda. Czechoslovakia In Czechoslovakia. the Invader* are trying to destroy the mind and the soul of a nation. Besides political enslavement and economic pillage, Germany has inaugurated a policy ot eplrltual aultocatiou. School books have -been rigorously censored. ^ Any-1 thing that might remind young Czechs ( of their nation's 20 years of indepeni donee hue boon torn out of history. All i Czech llbrarlee have been destroyed, i Hut the embitter**! etubborn resistance of the Czechs to the German regime has bocomo a byword. Neither physical nor moral terror can crush the aplrlt of these people.. In ? lac-, ' torlee and workshops throughout the country the previous night's lx>ndon broadcast is the main topitypf^onversation. | ^ v ( lA<uftots dropped by "the Royal Air force In the early stages of the war are still being distributed secretly among the rural population. The, children are told about them in Hie schools: when they go home, they repee t "those messages from heaven." No longer do the Prague newspapers print stories of blacic-untfpm*ed Gestapo agents or German soldiors found with a stab wound or a bullet through the head. Nothing is printed about the mysterious fires at the marshalling yards as military transports are being assembled. Terrorism continues. There are murders and arrests. But of blind submission there is no sign. France In Franco. 17.000 Frenchmen are In ( the Gestapo's political prisons in th?( occupied part ot the land. All over the x&LstL .tlia.. country mea .are going into hiding, fearing that the gun^rule of Himmler's murder gang will be ex- j tended to the unoccupied area. Spies ( are in every cafe, tavern, hotel and night club. Telephone calls are tapped, fcorrespondence opened. Meetings are illegal, and a "meet-, tng" Is the ''gathering together of J 'more than two persons." Churches ; have been rifled, their contents sent! ' back to Germany. I Ignoring even his harsh armistice \ terms. HUl?r is trying to grab everything in French banks. All valuables '[belonging to private citizens in bank j valuts are being seized. FVol land ! It is In Holland where the German jackboot is coming down the heaviest. The Nazi "army of occupation" has ; been strengthened recently, by anoth' er 20.000 troops. Warnings against i "demonstrative behavior" is now being i daily broadcast following disturbances at The Hague, in which Gestapo men were roughly handled. The Dutch armv is now completly demobilized, 1 n number of officers and men have I been drafted into a compulsory---'reconstruction service" for work in factories and on the land. Severe sentences have been Imposed on many ! prominent citizens who have failed to carry out Nazi orders. Sentences of ! from one to four years' penal servitude were passed by a German court i at Rotterdam on six Dutch workers 1 who went to the assistance of an R. A. I F. pilot who had come down while on a reconnaissance flight over Holland. ' More than 120.000 Dutch workmen have been transferred from Holland to Germany to slave for their c.on-J querors. They were separated from their wives an<l children, in many ' cases by the use of the lash, and ! treated as slaves. Rotterdam, great 1 center of Holland's commercial life. Is a heap of ruins. After incessant bombing, by night and day, thp Germans claimed that there were only 300 dead. Preaching at a memorial service, a Rotterdam clegyman said: ! "I commemorate the 300 dead in our j city*?of whom 800 fell in my parish alone." Actually, more than 50,000? most of them women and children made up the city's casualty list. Bodies are still being recovered from collapsed cellars and shattered buildings at the rate of fifty a day. People I who have Hve4 In Rotterdam aJl their Uvea cannot find their way about. Every familiar landmark la a heap of destruction. I | Norway I In Norway German army officer* be have with circumspection in the cafe* and restaurants of Oslo. The Gestapo amenta who have deouended in swariun [keep very much in the background, I -The German technicians sent to dirt>c>t Important State factories are ooncilatory. But the iron hand is thore just the same! I Public meetings are forbidden H Trade unions, where they function, I are under close surveillance. The -newspapers have to submit to a severe censorship. The news they publish Is from German sources. The Norwegians have not submitted will- I higly to the Invader. They have accepted the inevitable, hut it is a pass s 1 ivd obedience. Mines are being worked solely ft>r the benefit oof Germany j Factories have been despoiled of I [their output. Timber, wood-pulp and I minerals have been taken in huge quantities. Although they are out of the war, the people have not lent in- I i forest in it Their heart is with the Allies, but the time has not come yet I when they will rise against the enemy. Poland | Poland, according to Herr Koch, the ! Gauleiter who rules it for Hitler, is a j land of "Inferior ciitzens," Poles may I not elt in trains or tramcars if any j member of the "master race" Is standing. If It Is full and a German enters, ! even a Polish woman must give him ! her scat. More than half of Warsaw was destroyed by bombs or shells. Nothing is allowed to be done to re- j pair the damages. Warsaw must not become a city again or Poland a nation. Factories I have been dismantled, the machinery ' j carted awqy Into Germany. Banks, I now all controlled by the Germans, j refuse money to Polish manufacturers to replace worn-out plants. Poland's industrial life has been de- fl predated by nearly 80 per cent. Farm- j ers are not allowed to kill even a pig without a permit Every farm muBt | produce fixed amounts of corn, milk and cattle, which have to be sold to -fl the Germans?at German prices. Po- j lish fanners are imprisoned ^or "sabotage." Their crime was that Nature failed to bring the harvest up to the Nazi assessment. Newspapers may only contain German news. Death is j the penalty for listening to foreign radio programs.- j Denmark 1 In Denmark Quislings "are still working overtime. The country is j full of them, ready to sell the pass for j reich-marks. Puppets of Berlin have been set up on the seas of authortyy .1 and allowed to issue Hitler's slave I orders. ) There is no such thing as free labor. [ Workers are compelled to labor under i the lash where and for what pay and ' for whatever hours their taskmasters j decree.
