SEPARATE PEACE
i
I i A conceited American soUtar*
landed in England. He boasted »o
much of what he would do to th«
enemy that his chum decided to
take a rise out of him.
One morning he received » wire
from a famous general; “Glaii U»
know you’re over here. We need
men like you!”
He showed the telegram to every
one, and pinned it up where all
could read it.
The next day he got another, even
more important than the first: "Brit
ain is proud to welcome you to her
shores. King George VII.”
Still unsuspicious, he showed his
second wire round the barracks.
But he smelt a rat when the third
arrived: ‘‘Goering says he will re
sign unless you do. How much to
remain neutral?—Hitler.”
