WITH THE UNITED STATES
ARMY SOUTHWEST OF MA
TEUR, April 80 Delayed .-Ameri-
can troops captured Djebel Tahent-
Hill 6o9-in bitter fighting 16 miles
southwest Of Mateur and turned
their long-range artillery on Mateur
for the first time in this campaign
today.
The bombardment of Mateur, an
important road junction 18 miles
from Bizerte, brought an immediate
counter battery fire and the heaviest
artillery dueling since the American
attack began April %.
The Germans dispatched IS or 20
Focke-Wulf 1905 in a vain attempt
to locate and silence the American
guns.
The doughboys who stormed up to
the top Of the tabletop mesa imme-
dlately began mopping up scattered
German units on the shoulders who
had withstood a siege of several
days.
The shelling Of Mateur apparently
caught the Germans by surprise. It
was the first time that city had been
brought under fire since the early
days Of the campaign, when a Brit
ish force drove to the outskirts of
Tunis itself before it was compelled
to retire.
Stung by the hammering long
range guns, the Germans replied
with their own 77-millimeter how
itZers.
The Germans definitely didn't
like our shelling of Mateur and

AmeHcon-Noz; Artillery Duel
Makes Hill Ring for Miles
Enemy Surprised by SheIIing Of Moteur;
Performance Of U. S. Forces Praised

Judging by their reaction, we must
have blown one of their major gen.
erals out of bed," said a staff officer
Hill Rings for Miles.
The savage artillery duel made
the hill ring for miles with thun-
derous roars and the earth shock
and trembled wherever the great
shells struck. In fierceness and for
size and number of guns engaged
it was the biggest duel of the cam
paign for American long-range bat
terieS.
In addition to their march up
Djebel Tahent, the control of which
greatly facilitates its advance, the
infantry swept to the top of several
minor hills leading to another ridge
OF importance-the 1,800-foot Diebel
Anntra.
Praising the performance of the
troops in this sector, an American
colonel said: "The enemy certainly
has no complaint on either the
lack OF experience or the boldness
of our troops
Give Good Account.
He said they have been giving a
good account OF themselves against
some of the best men Won Arnim
has"
Along the southern edge of the
German position the Yankee in
fantry easily beat off minor Nazi
counterattack.
In the north the infantrymen,
chopping slowly through Tunisian
mountain jungle growths, were ham
pered by the supply problem.
Doughboys themselves carried am
munition, equipment and food over
the tortuous trails.

Mount Rainier Meeting
To Discuss Bond Issue

Hundreds of Mount Rainier resi-

meeting at o'clock this afternoon
at the town hall on Rhode Island
avenue to discuss proposal to au-
thorize the town to issue bonds up
to 2 per cent of the assessed valua-

for the construction of storm sewers
and bridges.
A referendum on the proposal will
be held in conjunction with the
election of Mayor and three coun-
cilmen tomorrow.
1t was estimated that 2 per cent
bond issue would amount to about
$4,000. Opponents of the pro-
posal contend that approval OF such
bond issue would mean a scent

Giving Binoculars to Navy
Is Hobby of Optometrist
By the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
CH1CAGO.-Dr. George M. Elgin s
new hobby is giving binoculars to the
Navy.
Last summer the 50-year-old op-
tometrist gave his own pair to the
Navy for use in the fleet. Later he
donated another pair and explained
to Navy officials that he had a
standing order for binoculars with
a sporting goods house and that
whenever they got a pair for him
the Navy could have them.
Recently he brought in his sew
enth pair-and he said he doesn't
want any back after the war. His
stepson. Kenneth Anderson, has
been in the Navy five years.
