 Coach Private, Michael John is having a great bit of confidence in the material that composes the athletic activities about the camp.
 It 50 happens that a certain private, Raymond Baker, former 1st cook of "G" Go. who enlisted in II Go. before induction as @ bugler, has discarded his horn to return to the kitchen as End cook of his new found home, III" Go.
 We also hear that the telephone company Is about to give their em- ployes a raise in pay due to the fact that there are considerable amount of long distance calls from Blanding to Waterbury.
 The men from Waterbury expect to take a trip to the beautiful Cocoanut Grove near Miami Beach in the near future.
 Correspondence Is urged, meaning good news only. People do not know the feeling that goes through a soldiers heart when he receives a letter from one so dear to him. He has that one consolation that he is remembered no matter how great the distance apart they may be. A new theme song has been adopted for @ good number of men; but has not interfered with their work and training. The song is Good Bye Dear, I'll Be Back In A Year."
 1st Sgt Andrew Balster of Co ''i" says: we have great athletic program and I hereby issue 8 chal- lenge to any company In the 102nd Inf. to a game of baseball. softball or any other summer sport"

fighting from Phlorina to the fArise sector, c distance Of 100 miles. They tol dhow German dive bcunbefB had swooped down like hawks on their tanks, and how German tanks had rushed them from behind curtains of fire. They had stood up to it ell, and although they were very tired on reaching here, they spoke enc Enthusiastically of the way their units had performed.
 He Had Clese Shave
 "You must have had c close shave, Jim," c captain said to c major. wasn't that you in that tank barring the way at that little bridge near Grevena when tho Hun tanks rushed it2"
 "Yes," Major Jim replied, grim ming, "but I'd had that bridge well taped for hours. My gunner prob- ably never fired more than c dozen rounds but I had trained the gun myself squarely on the center of the bridge. I held our fire until the ferries were 50 close to me that if they had fred they would have blown me ell the way to blighty. Then ordered the gunner to pull the trigger.
 "A shell went clean through the center of the leading tank and pierced the secon done. There was . big explosion and the bridge col- lapscd. The rest of the Hun tanks pulled out"
 My tank threw . tread in the deep mud" another officer said. ''T,he forest around me was afise from German incendiary bembs and I and my crew abandoned the wagon, but not until we fai. out of ammunition. Mark you, if we hadn't thrown that tread I'd still be there running down the German infantry"

Thefe had been some heevy Shelling over the entire sector. Finally we could see the German Panzers (armored unttS) come sneak ing down the road. Behind each tank the German shock troops ad- vanced ef1 rnasse, their arms locked together.
 "In the valley, our tanks - grim, gray hulks - squAtted like toads, in battle formation, their guns pointed the right way, but showing no signs of life.
 "rhe sun was just going down.
 we let drive with rapid fire shells. The barrage played hell with the ferries. They retreated.
 Was One Good Show
 "But knowing we were outnuii1- bered, we pulled out. This fooled the ferries, and few minutes af- ter we were out of the valley, their artillery began laying down Q ter- rifle barrage there. Yes, think even you Americans would agree 1t was a good show"
 The narrator was among e group of British tank officers and men l found here exchanging accounts Of their adventures.
 (Corrells dispatch did not say why the men were away from the front. One implication was that they might be in Athens for q rest, one was quoted that his tank had been put out of commission. There wus no indication in his dispatch that these men were being evacu- ated from dreece)
 The officer said lis unit had ufi. dergone 10 consecutive days and nights of fighting in the northern Creek mountain passes. The same unit distinguished itself In France about Q year ago. The officer made Q point of that.
 f suppose you'll want to write Q hit of a story about this," he told me. And guess its okay, in view Of tho fact that our women will want to know we're safe, to tell them that all of us are ali right. Just say we're the same outfit that came out of Calais with only seven officers and lb men alive. They'll know"
 Some Bit of Revenge
 He said his unit had obtained some measure of revenge for ats defeat in France by wrecking IS German tanks and shooting down ii German airplanes in Greece, without one of our tanks being lost by enemy actlon.'
 The dramatic meeting with the main German force he described was ln the Phlorina sector, where the Germans poured when tho south Jugosla varny collapsed. While I taiyked to this ofilcer four of his bupddtes arrived, bearded, sineared with oil and mud, ai dwearing their battle dress. They hurriedly ex. sshanged notes on their rear guard

 There were AS men aboard the two planes and it is understood that they had diplomatic pass ports and were all apparently fiiers, mechanics and radio oper- atcrs most of them having flown for ten years.
 General Gromoff who is in com l7and of the flight, was on the second flight made over the Arc tic to Los Angeles in 1887, as was Col Iumasheff who is a member of the present party.
 At the time of going to press the Russian planes were await ing the arrival of Russian Con- sul Fedotoff aboard the PA. It seems unlikely that they will get away today.
