WITH THE FIFTH ARMY IN
ITALY. Sept. 15.-(Delayed}-Life
goes on about the same as usual in
no mans land in Italy these days
despite the fierceness of the war
being waged on all sides.
Accompanying reconnaissance
patrol which whent into no man S
land beyond our lines, I had a
chance to see how Italian farmers,
villagers and townsfolk were living
in the middle of the criss cross fire
between the Anglo-American forces
and the enemy.
l found they were not only amaZ-
ingly unafraid of the shellfire and
patrol skirmishing about them but
also that they were ready to sell
American Doughboys and English
Tommies any supplies they have in
reserve in the way of eggs. grapes,
wine and occasionally chickens.
Their motto seems to be business
as usual"
The patrol I accompanied was
headed by Second 1t. Benjamin

In one town the name of which
can not be revealed for military rea-
sons we found an American Dough-
boy being cared for by an Italian
family and nursed back to health.

While making another patrol, he
had got lost and was found by an

The main difference between
Italian towns in no mans land
and those in territory held by AL
lied forces is just the reverse Of
what I had expected.
I found in no mans land, the
average household is composed
mostly of old men and women and

NATIVE SON
By RICHARD WRIGHT

white people felt it was good when
one Negro killed another; it meant
that they had one Negro less to
contend with. Crime for a Negro
was only when he harmed whites,
took white lives, or injured white
property. AS time passed, he could
not help looking and listening to
what was going on in the room. His
eyes rested Wistfully on the still
oblong white draped form under
the sheet on the table and he felt
a deeper sympathy for Bessie than
at any time when she was alive.
He knew that Bessie too, though
dead, though killed by him, would
resent her dead body being used in
this way. Anger quickened in him;
an old feeling that Bessie had often
described to him when she had
come from long hours of hot toll
in the white folks kitchens, a feel
ing of being forever commanded by
others SO much that thinking and
feeling for ones self was impos-
sible. Not only had he lived where
they told him to live, not only had
he done what they told him to do,
not only had he done these things
until he had killed to be quit Of
them, but even after obeying, after
killing, they still ruled him. He was
their property, heart and soul, body
and blood; what they did claimed
every atom of him, sleeping and
waking; it colored life and dictated
the terms Of death.
The coroner raped for order,
then rose and stepped to the table
and with one sweep of his arm
flung the sheet back from Bessie's
body. The sight, bloody and black,
made Bigger finch involuntarily
at the same instant, he saw blind
ing flashes of the silver bulbs flick
with painful effort to the back of
the room, for he felt that if he saw
Bessie again, he would rise from
his chair and sweep his arm in an
attempt to blot out this room and
body helped him to stare without
seeing and to sit amid the noise
without hearing.
A pain came to the front of his
head, right above his eyes. AS the
slow minutes dragged his body was
drenched in cold sweat. His blood
throbbed in his ears; his lips were
parched and dry; he wanted to wet.
them with his tongue but could
not. The tense effort to keep out of
his consciousness the terrible sight
of Bessie and the drone of the
voices would no allow him to

move a single muscle. He sat still,
surrounded by an invisible cast of
concrete, Then he could hold out
no longer. He bent forward and
buried his face in his hands. He
heard a far-away voice speaking
from a great height
1.-THE jury will retire to the next
room"
Bigger lifted his head and saw
the six men rise and file out
through a rear door. The sheet had
been pulled over Bessie's body and
he could not see her. The voices in
the room grew loud and the coroner
raped for order. The six men filed
slowly back to their chairs. One of
them gave the coroner a slip of pa
per. The coroner rose, lifted his
hand for silence and read long
string of words that Bigger could
not understand. But he caught
phrases:

Mrs. B. o. Davis
Is Inspector For
Sperry Company

NEW YORK-(S N S)-When 1t
came to following in the war effort
footsteps Of her distinguished hus-
band and celebrated father-in-laW,
it was a toss-up between the Wo-
mems Army Corps and war work OF
a highly important and confiden-
t1al nature with one Of the nations
greatest war production plants, the
Sperry Gyroscope Company. Mrs.
Davis chose Sperry where she now
works as an instrument inspector.
The Sperry inspectors husband,
Lieut.. Colonel Benjamin Davis, Jr.
is in the North African war theatre
commanding an all-Negro air
squadron that has already been en-
gagged in some of the fiercest sky
fighting on the Tunisian ana
Sicilian fronts. Her father-in-laW
Brig, General Benjamin Davis,
rose from the ranks to become the
first colored general officer in the
United States Army.
While Mrs. Davis feels that her
work as an inspector in the great
Sperry plant may be less exciting
than her husbands job, she says,
... it is just as important in It's
own way and is a job that almost
anyone with little common sense
can learn to do. =" Mrs. Davis is
graduate of the New Haven
Teachers College and studied at the
Yale University School of Educa-
ton and the Art Institute of
Chicago
Lieut.. Colonel Davis was gradu-
ated from West Point in 1886. He
was appointed to the Academy by

Slowly Max turned and walked
back to his seat, his lips thin line,
his face white, his head down.
Bigger was crushed, helpless. His
lips dropped wide apart. He felt
frozen, numb. He had completely
forgotten Bessie during the inquest
of Mary. He understood what was
being done. To offer the dead body
of Bessie as evidence and proof that
he had murdered Mary would make
him appear a monster; it would
stir up more hate against him.
Bessie's death had not been men
toned during the inquest and all of
the white faces in the room were
utterly surprised. It was not because
he had thought any less OF Bessie
that he had forgotten her, but
Mary's death had caused him the
most fear; not her death in itself,
but what it meant to him as
Negro. They were bringing Bessie's
body in now, to make the white
men and women feel that nothing
short Of a quick blotting out of his
life would make the city safe again.
They were using his having killed
Bessie to kill him for his having
killed Mary, to case him in a light
that would sanction any action ia
ken to destroy him. Though he had
