"Yes," sputtered Jenny, "they are at home all right.. I suppose you know where they are living? "No, replied Chatterer, "I cant say that I do. "You dont say! exclaimed Jenny. "Well they are living in that old house that Drummer the Woodpecker built two years ago and in which Skimmer the Swallow started housekeeping this spring. "What has become of Skimmer?

Nine days later Adolf Hitler's Iron legions marched into Paris and the swastika banners were unfurled over the Palace of Versailles. Within another two days the Germans had outflanked the famed Maginot line and the French were forced to abandon the $500,000,000 system of fortifications in which they had placed their supreme trust The withdrawal was the beginning of the end for the armies of France. The train of events which led up to the outbreak of war last September began on March 11, 1938, when German troops marched into Austria without opposition. ( In March, 1939, Hitler," defying threats of British and French resistance, took over Czechoslovakia without firing a shot On September 1, 1939, he ordered his armies into Poland, again defying Britain and France, who proclaimed a state of war with Germany two days later. The Germans required less than a month to overrun Poland. Warsaw fell on September 28 after a terrific siege that reduced the city to ruins.
