WITH THE UNITED STATES FORCES IN TUNISIA, Feb. 25- Italian soldiers in Tunisia are care ful to keep a white handkerchief handy for emergency.
 The reason for this, explained an Italian prisoner to Private Nich- olas Giordana of Brooklyn, who gave him a cigarette, is:
 They all have the white hand kerchiefs in their pockets ready to show them at the right time.
 When we saw you Americans coming we were glad to give up. We had not had anything to eat for more than two days.
 The Germans pushed us up ahead in the attack. If we don't fight, the Germans will kill us from behind. If we do fight, you will kill us.
 We don't have any way to go, said the Italian prisoner.
