Letter From France
Received Here
Major Robert E* Stone, who is
spending the winter at the Oourt Inn,
ban received a most'Interesting letter
from hia niece in occupied France. It
Kh from Countess Kllaabeth de D., an
American born woman. The letter is

Chateau
December 9, 1940
Dear Uncle Hob: You can't imagine
bow distressed j am that you havo
been doing so much for me; 1 had no
idea of It until your letter arrived yes-'
terday (after 2 months on lite way). I
had written the American Embassy
and American friends there, at the
consulate at? ? over and 'over, but
they bad always told mo that no
answer had 'eome oahlaa 1 sentreply
paid to the State Department,
nor from you. nor from in Washington.
Finally they wrote me that a
cablo had arrived from the Stute
Department asking abotit my plans
and finances, and telling me that I
would have to write the Consulate in
in the future.
My husband got through by a
raira&le. Wo were reunited when wo
never dreamed we would meet again
In France: I bad decided to go on trying
to get my American passport, but
not to leave now for America since ho
needs me. I even had to have some
sort of birth certificate which Unolo
very kindly sent me. It Is Incredible
when you think that I sent
you, the State Department, and
cables before was occupied on
June 18th and I only knew yesterday
through your letter containing all the
copies of telegrams, cable and letters
you sent how kind you have been.
and I are so deeply grateful.
We hadn't the slightest Idea that you
had even had my cable and much iess
that you had answered it.
Incidentally we were not known at
the Hotel except for one night
as we had to rush to Bayonne, since
wo were told the foreigners would
have all their cars stopped. As j
we left here with some of our "rc-fu- j
gees" who were the of Washing- ,
ton, we left for their sake after J
spending a night at the American Red j
Cross, while part of our party slept |
in the cars during d harrowing air i
raid. Naturally when we sent you the
cable we had to put some sort of ad- j
dfess. so we gave the thinking
wo would be there long enough to
have a reply.
From Bayonne I continued writing,
and telephoning and pleading with the
Portugese and' Spanish consuls who
were too . I had the Infante
Eulalie. Alphonso's aunt, to help me,
also the Portugese Minister's daughter.
an old friend, but naturally the
fact 1 bad a French passport held
everything up. ami was British..
Naturally crowds of got over
(juite easily while we slept on straw
in cars again and had to literally fight
for food. You know of course that
became imimsaible to contadt
through becoming part of the occupied
/.one, and finally all the letters I tent
the consulate there were returned,
and there was a Chinese wall, like
there is between Paris and ourselves
ut present. 1 resigned myself to returning
here, although I went on writing
the American Consulate at Lyons
to ask what had happened and why
1 couldn't get my American passport,
since this would help us all here immensely
. They replied that I
had to have a birth certificate, a copy
of my marriage, certificate from London.
1 have Twrltten Ixmdon via
Switzerland through three different
friends six times and am still waking
for these papers. Also since I never
heard from the State Department, I
decided that my work was definitely
here with poor , much as I would
love to take the children to America
where at least they would be no longer
in danger of semi-starvation.
If things got much worse, I will ask
the consulate at (where we have
to go. as soon as 1 receive papers re
marriage) if It would be possible to
obtain visas for and ,
through filing a petition with the
I>epartmont of Justice for pop quota
status for thorn. But can't go and I
don't want to leave him just when he
really needs me. I would of course
havo cabled you, although we now
have to be so terribly careful.
can't get any money from America
where he has shares nor from Paris
where they say they are O. So we
now only havo the very small amount
I'm allowed from America. In Septem- ,
her the new law only allowed mo'
I , and I had to sejid $30 to a !
friend in Switzerland so she could buy |
food for my son In prison in Germany. ;
I do really think'that the consulate In
could have had the common
decency to write me that you had
cabled, since we had naturally left |
word there where to write, and I had
written them over and over after going
on to Bayonne. I am not surprised
that I received none of your cables. '
for we Just had a letter from
via the Clipper, written in August! -j
My slater hasn't hat! any of my tetters.
and recently her husband's
friend wrote me that they had asked
the War Department to ask him for
news of us! You Bee therefore that .
it is not at all unusual for letters to
get lost. Did you ever receive the ;
leters I wrote telling you that my poor
is a prisoner in Germany since
May? I must have mentioned that :
and I were reunited, that we
were so happy to be able to come
home, even during these difficult and
uneasy times. We were lucky to find
everything safe and pnly _our bridge
blown up and The nearest town IfT
miles away bombarded, and quite a
few people killed. If we hadn't had
among our many refugees a famous ~
and most eloquent lawyer, the chateau
would have been requisitioned and j
then certainly bombed, since the place ;
hx)ks so big f.om the air. troops
hid in our woods and the plaes circled --!
about over us as long as they were in ',
the village. Wo dug up our silver,
sold our car and lorry to be made into <
"gazogenes" and drive about with an
old army horse and cart. saws "
wood with the one and only man and
sells it since no one has any ooal or
wood. In Paris it is appalling as even
gas is rationed. Thank heaven I
planted lots of potatoes and vegetables
and that we have our own little f
forest! We have a sewing circle
which I organized last winter for the
Rod Cross and also are the center for _
old clothes for all the refugees from
Jvorraino and the like.I no longer have _
any in the house, but probably will
have to again because of all those
wretched people sent out of Lorraine
recently.
Dear Uncle Bob, I will let you know
what I decide but you see what happened.
When I cabled you, ? end
I were separated, and the Cformans \
were advancing rapidly within a fe*
miles of us. Now we are together and.
are in the unoccupied zone. However,
I am going to get my American passport
and bo ready in case I have to j
leave with ? and . ]

Two good mixers
are better than one
THERE you sit, watch- *
ing the long road ahead
as it dips and rises.
Under your feet there's
a quiet whispering, to let
you know that all eight able Buick cylinders
are happily on the job.
You're giving not a single thought to what's
happening under that long bonnet nosing
out in front, but here's what's going on:
Instead of the single, compromise-size carburetor
you find on most cars, this Buick
Fikkhall eight with Compound Carburetion*
has two good mixers on the job.
A single one of them ?the front one ?keeps
$
you rolling smoothly,
easily, quietly, on the very
minimum rationing of
^ gasoline.
Rut the other carburetor
is alert and ready for any sudden need. Just
tramp down on that accelerator pedal ? it
goes into instanf action, giving you more fuel
and more power for any emergency purpose!
It's almost like having two engines ? one
to handle normal requirements thriftily,
another to team up with the first for extra
oomph and wallop when you want it.
That kind of teamwork pays.
And owners by the thousand will tell you
it's more economical too ?us much as 10% to
15% more economical.
If you haven't experienced what it feels
like to have that under the bonnet of your
automobile, better go have that Buick demonstration
now. #
Standard on all Buick Super, Century, Roadmaster and Limited
models, available at slight extra cost on all Buick SPKClAL^nodRls.
