North Ireland's American Population" Grows
Bomb Damage Considerable
MM

This city of Belfast and the sur. rounding countrywide is predoFnl- iiAntly an area Of factories and taeir contribution to the English war ef- fort Is immense.
 Boats arc being constructed in sllipyasls for the Battle of the Att lantIc. shells and high explosive bombs are being turned out daily as a supplement to the manufacture of fine Irish linen for tho tables of Atns rlca, two and four-engine bombers are being built and flown to the RAT airdroines along the Epglish Channel front. ,s NORTH IRISH GIVE
 BRITAIN MUCH AID
 Just as in England, too, there are innumerAble reminders which you don't see In Dublin, that Q war Is on. The people have the tight, lean ex- pression you find on the faces of the men and women of Coventry, Bris- toi, London, Plymouth and South ampton. They don't have the gen. tie, friendly appearance of the Dub liner, who worries about the war, but has not fully experienced what tight food rations and bomb raids can mean.
 Bomb damage is considerable be- cause Belfast suffers from being too close to Q neutral Fire. German agents can secretly cross the border into Belfast the morning after an air raid, inspect the damage and then return back to Dublin, relaying the information quickly onto Berlin.
 That Is exactly what happened the day before the last big blitz months ago. Agents inspected the damage done during Q mild raid the night previous, noted that their Naxl boEIl- bardiers had missed nearly every target. But on the next night, how- ever, there was little missing, when German planes came again over the city to rectify their errors.
 Hour after hour, for seven hours, the German bombers moved up and down the center of Belfast, and when they stopped they had left in their wake smashed buildings, & wrecked railroad station and two or three disorganized factories. But be- cause bombs cannot level every square block, . considerable portion of the city still existed, and today, life moves along in normal, though somewhat mutilated fashion.

hills that are often er1veloped by the rain and fog and mist which press down and hide the lat, rib- bon-like runways upon which Q ferry pilot must land without beam in good weather and bad.
 They land always at night, the long hazardous flight across the North Atlantic being timed so the bomber will reach It's airfleld in North Ireland between the hours of dusk and dawn. One small, red beacon light ct one end of the field is the only illumination which the pilot has, as he drops down from the sub-stratosphere and sometimes that, too, is blink ed-out If an air raid is in progress over the area.
 TANK FERRIES
 HAVE GOOD RECORD
 The American Ferry Service has had no accidents to date, but the British have. The three planes which crashed recently in North Ire land, killing actually Q total of 63 pilots, has temporarily disrupted the British, North Atlantic Ferry Serv- ice. All the crashes occurred on the one Londonderry field which the British use most.
 Plane number one blew Q tire on the takeoH and crashed into the hillside at one end of the night -strouded runway.
 Plane number two, also heavily laden with fuel and, ferry pilots bound back for America, never got higher than that same hill at the end of the runway and 1t, too, crashed and burst into flames.
 The third bomber, coming in fast after Its eight-hour trip from Newfoundland had no beacon light to illuminate the rain-and -fog .cov- cred runway 70 the pilot Inisjudg- ing his landing, oversl1ot the mark and he, also, struck the same hill which had claimed the other two ships.

Red army's offense, harassed by guerrilla tactics of infiltrating Blue forces, begged down today in the woods and swamps between the Red and the Sabine rivers.
 The Blue army. with its superior forces of infantry, lfAs taken the initiative and put the Reds on the defensive on the eastern and cen. tral sectors. On the western flank between thetwo rivers. scant prog ress was being made by the highly mechaniged but undermanned Red force.
 Infiltration by the small Blue forces deep into the Red territory through the woods and swanips can- not Do met by the Red arInored columns because they lack infantry support.
 The Blue forces have penetrated within l2 miles of the second ariLN headquarters at Natchitoches and have forced Gen. Ben Lear to move his headquarters to another point for the second time in 2z hours Small forces of Blue soldiers have made four raids in attempts te capture the general. Blue attachments far behind the front lines have put many tank out of action by ambushing then with beer cans stimulating hans grenades.
 This type of fighting has changeA . potential war of movement into q chain of wilderness skirmistes but individual soldiers have gained in, valuable knowledge of how to handle difficult and sudden situations.
 Ar1mistice Considered The numerous skirlnishes have ss taxed the men on both sides that al armistice was considered last night The counter offensive of General Walter Krueger's Blue aruag proveG so interesting to umpires, howeveS that the battle probably will b. extended until at least tonight.
 The war being fought here iH Louisiana bears no resemblance t< the European biitzkrieg I saw 6 1o40 or the spring campaign of l04L 4AAS 1Ppa4GkIOAy uuICkatSu uIOtc~ ments of small units and detach., mentS has no similarity with the highly coordinated mass movement of the German army.
 Particularly valuable to the BluD army are the 1Oeth and l6eth in, fantry, composed largely of Indianh from Oklahoma and Arizona. They are 8 thorn in the Red army's side. They have. the physical endur- ance to march 20 miles through swamps and woods daily and fight skirnishes between dawn and sun. down along most of the way.
 They delight in slipping from tree to tree and taking pot shots at what they call the 'poor mechanized Reds" forced to stay on the roads with their heavy equipment.
 The Indians, speaking Sioux Navajo and other Indian tongues, are used as telephone men by theiK divisions. Even if communication lines are tapepd by the enemy, the lingo baffies the listeners.
 Tn two fierce dog fights over Q Red airdrome the Reds admitted the loss og 90 lighters but claimed they had destroyed . ~large" number Of attacking Blue planes. Seventy-two fighters were engaged in the battle

hard at work constructing a naval base.
 Employed by a New York con struction company, the techniclans receive % dollars a week, banked in New York, and three or four pounds from the paymaster paid at camp ---Suf1clent to maintain them well in the sleepy village which has mo- thing more to offer in the way of entertainment than a few pubs, a small motion picture theater, some assorted stores and several eating establishments.
 Occasionally, too. you'll meet some American sailors. The day stood waiting in the bomb b-shattered rail- road station of Belfast for the train that would make the boat connec- ton for North Scotland, 8 contin- gent of twenty U. s. gobs filed through the gate and onto the train They were highly trained technical experts, the insignias on their llni- forms indicated and were bound for London. One chief petty offlcer from Philadelphia said they had volun- teered and would soon be teaching he did not say what-outside Lon- don.
 It's all very intense and war; like, this atmosphere of North Ireland. And in Belfast, particu- larly, you cannot escape for one minute the impact of war. Uni- formed soldiers and officers of the British army flow in and out of those hotels which are still stand ing, camouflaged motor.truck con- voys move along the streets, and a drive in any direction out of Bel- fast, which lies compressed in the hollow of 6 ring of hills, will carry you through lines of troops.
 This whole military Setup, in fact, is reminiscent of the early land

 With Blue Third Army In Field September ie. - (Up) - Tanks planes and infantry were locked to. day in the greatest battle of the war games along pearson's Ridge ir the west-central sector of the i70. mile front as the nianeuvers entered the fifth day.
 The Red First Arnored Division reinforced by the Second Armorec Division, struck in true blitzkrieg fashion and bent the Blue line at spots but in almost every ease of break through the attacking tanki were captured or destroyed.
 I watched the engagement from an observation truck on the ridge. ] saw Red tanks break through sev- eral times in small numbers but were eliminated by Blue anttrbnts and infantry forces. Blue Air forces were active throughout the fighting. A steady stream of Blue hombers attacked the Inassed tanks. In two-foui attack, Blue warplanes dropped more than 76 tons and expended more than . half million rounds oi ammunition.
 One B-25 medium bomber during q single mission dropped eight l00- pound bombs on a force of 100 Red tanks and four more i00-pounders on 20 tanks spotted ct another Secor.'
 The Army air forces newest bomber, the high-speed B-26 Martin medium bomber, engaged in its first real combat tests and according to Blue observers, gave an excellent performance.
 The Red commanders are using their tanks as if they were motorized cavalry, an entirely different con- cept of tank warfare than that saw the Germans use in Europe.
 The Red forces fritter away their armored strength by a series of iso- lated jahs on the enemy's flank. The German tactics I observed in Jugo- slovia were to use their tanks as part of 6 combat team that included aviation. artillery, infantry, and en- gineeer units.
 The Germans tested the enemy'E front for a weak point then drove this combat team, working In per- feet coordination, for a break through. Then the arznored units pushed on to confuse the enezny'E rear lines while the infantry and artillery employed their famous double-envelopment Of the enemy'i front.
 A Blue prize today was Colonel 0ihson, chemical warfare officer of the Red army, who was captured ct an undesignated point.
