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 given below and the blanks denote where the censors have deleted names und places: 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 . ] To relieve fi T C Misery of L U L 1/ U j . ^ .

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. / * BUICK PRICES BEGIN AT | delivered\jt F7bity BE BBBI | A//;-/-.
