nounCement of the fact was made
here, coupled with the explanation
that these units were rounding out
their training course. A similar
announcement either directly from
General PeTshinE or from the de-
partment. is expected when American
troops finally take over whatever
sector OF the battle lines they are
destined to fight in.
There have been no hints dropped

gaining strength here that the day
