sist: certainly there is no pamper. ing of the doughboy when he's in the field; he is given the works" with super realism, as anyone who witnessed the recent U. s. Army maneuvers here for the benefit of Britains King and Queen vii Testify.
 Furthermore" said one officer, i've see no reason why the soldier shouldn't eat and live by Ameri- can standards whenever it is pos sible. For in the not-too-distant tomorrow" - he held up Smalllsh box of concentrated rations-" this may be his breakfast, lunch and dinner combined in the field of action"
 Mostly the troops eat American food in their own messes. When they are away from their camps on leave, little except fish and chips" is available for them in the cheaper restaurants. They drink tea more often than coffee because the tea is excellent and the coffee, as any pre-war tourist knows, is not brewed to the American taste. HIS SPIRIT
 IS TOPS
 Whsikey, both by the bottle and by the drink, is considerably higher in price here than 1t is in the States; quart bottle o5 Scotch or Irish whiskey, for in- stance. seldom can be bought fol less than six dollars and fre- quently is unobtainable at all. Ale is not a very popular substitute for American beer as far as the boys are concerned. The result is that drunkenness is rare in Ulster.
 The spirit of the 1942 doughboy Is tops. There's only one thing that will sadden him, and, some- time, embitter him. That is the failure of relatives and friends to write to him, frequently and at length. So please remember!

 With The American Army In Northern Ireland, July 21 The American doughboy on this door step to Europe has developed 8 healthy type of home sickness that bodes no good for the Schickel- gruber set in Berlin.
 He's in a hell of a hurry to get onto that Second Front. teach the Nasties some old-fash- toned manners = and then go home to the U. s. A.
 His proximity to scene of &C., tion has filled the Yankees soldier over here with 8 fighting spirit that has to be seen and heard to be fully appreciated.
 HE'S TOUGH;
 HE'E A SOLDIER
 I've talked to him by the hun dreds = this swell guy who will do the real fighting-as I've travelled in jeeps and peeps and staff cars along the serpentine, dust-white roads that wind through Listers blue-green mountains. And can report to his folks back home: He's fit. He's living well. He's eating well. He's working hard. He's TOUGH. He's SOLDIER.
 About a Second Front? Well, there's stocky, curly haired Pri- vate Clarence (Buzz) Bradley, anti-tank gunner, from Murhpys- boro, III. He has done lot of pro boxing, has Buzz, and knows has way about a gridiron, too. If he could take our military strate- gists aside, as he did me, here's what he'd tell 'em:
 "This war is just a Big Game without any rules. But offense is the best defense in any kind of scrap. You got to mix lot in a fight - but don't swing any wild ones. And don't ever drop your arms - that's bad And like in football, as long as you got the ball, the other guy can't win"

tin-hatted sentries who stand sondly and unbudging athwart the gates of American army camps.
 There's a healthy vulgarity in the 1942 doughboys' batter which any American Legionnaire would recognize. He's singing the World War I songs. He's talking the World War I soldier language. There is practically no new doughboy slang - except a i've letter word which, originating in the air forces, has swept like wild- fire throughout the army. Trans lated into polite parlorese, this word means that "the situation is, as usual, very confused" Also, a doughboy never is fled up" with his sergeant or with his girl-he is drowned off,"
 The troops are getting strict discipline in large doses. But it's an Amercian Army-type disci- pline that sits particularly well with American guys. It's a pa- ternal discipline in which the off, cers see to it, with a diligence perhaps not equaled in any other army in the world. that their men are sa well fed and well housed as possible, and that at nightfall they're all safely in their huts.

 SCENE OF BREAK
Thieves Obtain Cash Frus- trated in Attempt to Take
 Typewriter

Thieves ransacked the editorial and circulation departments of The Waterbury Democrat at an early hour this morning, making away with cash of $25 but failing in their intentions of carrying of type writers and an adding machine.
 Cash amounting to $50 in the same desk from which the $25 was taken remained untouched.
 Entrance was gained by climbing fire escape in the rear of the building to the third floor and fore ing open window The thieves made their way through the stereo- type and composing rooms of the newspaper plant on the third floor to the editorial and circulation de- partmentS on the second floor.
 A glass panel was removed from the door of the circulation depart ment. Desk drawers were rifled and an inventory this morning showed that $25 was missing. An adding machine had been carried from the circulation department to window near the fire escape on the second floor of the building. A typewriter from the editorial department was found in the same place. It was ap- parent that the thieves were scared off while making plans to carry these machines and perhaps others through the window, and down the fire escape to Canal street. It is probable that their car was parked in ttae rear yard of The Democrat plant.
 The break was discovered by Fred Carey, superintendent of the build ing when he reported for work at 4:30 this morning. Detective Lieut.. William Foley who Is Investigating expressed belief that Carey may have scared off the thieves and frustrated their plans to steal the adding machine and typewriter.
 The second floor rear window opening on the fire escape was left open, indicating that the thieves fled over that route.
