Show "Chariots of Iron" at Gaza. History repeats itself down to minute mi-nute details, the London Star reminds us, and recalls previous operations at Gaza related in the Book of Joshua. It says : "If that picturesque special correspondent corre-spondent to whom we owe the narrative narra-tive of the sun and moon standing still . ntbe Valley of Ajalon had witnessed the onslaught of General Allenby's auxiliaries, he might have pictured behemoth be-hemoth wallowing on the shore and leviathan rising out of the sea. It Is related in the Book of Judges that thought the tribe of Judah took Gaza, they 'could not drive out the inhabitants inhabi-tants of the valley because they had chariots of iron.' "Allowing for the intervening centuries cen-turies which have transformed the 'chariots of iron' Into tanks, we see that in this case the omens are in favor of the Invaders, and we may reasonably hope that the clearing out of the Philistines will be final and complete."

Polish laborers in Germany are not permitted to change masters or to move from place to place without government gov-ernment authorization. With such authorization, au-thorization, however, the masters can make exchanges, as we trade horses and mules, or as our housewives exchange ex-change soap grease for soap, or old rags for door mats, kitchen tins and such.
