DOCTORS BUSY

Many had been forced to swim.
Our two doctors soon had wait
ing list. They worked miracles in
their tiny sick bay. One doctor
amputated a mans leg in less than
10 minutes. He had to hurry. Other
urgent cases waited
Our destroyer was hit twice by
bombs, and the doctors sWore softly
at the conclusion and the shaking
of the ship reopened wounds.
BY 1920 in the morning Roberts
ordered the landing force to with
draw. The withdrawal was diff
cult and costly, but many troops
managed to climb into small boats
and get ont into the bay.
Three hours later our fleet limped
out of French waters.
Our wounded lay en- the decks
in the gangWays, in every cabin, and
in the Wardroom. Few of the crew
remained untouched, for we had
been under constant fire and bomb
ing now for nearly nine hours. The
Luftwaffe pursued us, and the Spit
fires took a dreadful toll. Every
few moments we saw a Dornier or
Focke- Wulfe streak comet-like into
the sea.
Until the final reports are in
it will not be known whether the
damage done and the undoubted lift
given to French morale will out
weigh the admittedly high casual

las Bostcns sWooped low and soon
the beach was covered with a heavy
white screen. The men landing on
the middle of the three beaches
were being strafed by Fock- -Wulfe

an aide who contacted the fighter
command and within half minute,
we saw a group of Spitfires veer off
and take care of the situation.
The air was bursting now with
noise and shells and the smoke of
gun power. Heavy guns ashore
turned their attention to us and
shells began dropping close. Rob-
erts ordered a smoke screen and
our destroyer streaked up and down,
trying to hide cur small craft from
the eunnerS ashore and the bombers
that had joined the party.
BY now it was evident that the
opposition ashore was very great.

Getting in
Final L.icks

Final ticks In their campaigns
were planned over the weekend by
Pierce county candidates for coun.
ty and legislative positions as
voters still continued to be spa-
thetic about the election which
will be held next Tuesday.
Both Republican and Demo
cratic party organizations in the
county were striving to get out a
sizeable vote on Tuesday but OBJ
servers believed that not more
than 80 per cent of the registered
voters would 60 to the polls.
Chief interest In Pierce
county seems to lie In the
races for prosecutor and
sheriff. Prosecutor Thor q.
TolIefson Is opposed for re-
election by stuart Elliott
while Lee Croft and DIR. L. \.
MILESTONE are rivals for the
sheriff's office.
Mos important post at stake Is
that of congressman from the
sixth district with John NJ. Coffee.
Democrat incumbent. opposed by
Ralph Woods.
Banks and state offices in the
city, including the liquor stores
and the Pierce county welfare will
be closed all day election day.
