Captain Peterson worked until s

said that his handling the truck had
the same effect on his men as has
the shouldering Of regulation pack

body has the courage to let up then,
he said. He took u short nap when
the sun was just beginning to break
through and he slept for three hours
on pile of army blankets. He
was awakened, he said, by the kind
Of noise which comes from stadiums
at football games. 1t was rumbling
and rising. He looked out Of the
window and saw a crowd which the
reporters agreed was made up of
10000 persons who wanted to buy
army things and wanted to buy
them badly.

small balcony on the second floor

that the place didn't open until
