TRUSS RARELY CURES HERNIA
OF 1886 patients with hernia
treated by trusses at the London
Truss society 4387 (4ls per cent
we're cured, according to a report
by Spanton quoted in Watsons
Hernia Authoritative textbook. In
guinal hernia rupture in groin) III
infants or young children Is cured
by truss alone in most instances.
The percentage of cures Of hernia
in adults is extremely low, probably
not more than four cases out Of
thousand.
Correspondent recently told us
here his nephew who had hernia
from infancy had operation Gun
successfully and then wore q truss
for several years and this appar-
emily cured the hernia. Three other
members Of the family had had
hernia, all apparently cured after
wearing truss for few months or
year, and in from Z to 13 years
these three have had no recurrence
of hernia. Correspondent himself
was partially disabled by hernia six
years ago, wore truss for a year,
then discarded 1t and has had no
furthe rtrouble. I printed the letter
because Of the extraordinary ten
dency to hernia in family, and
also to remind hernia sufferers that
spontaneous cure does sometimes
occur if the hernia Is properly re-
tanned or prevented from bullying
through the abdominal wall by
suitable support or truss The cor
respondent did not mention what
make or kind of truss he or any
other member of the family wore.
and 1t doesn't matter. The impor-
tant point is that both the fitting
and the wearing of such a support
or truss is matter for the indi-
vidual physician to attend to, and
it should never be left to the judg-
ment or advice OF an instrument
maker or any one else than the
physician. The application and
wearing of a truss for hernia in
wolves just as serious risks or pos
sible harm and chances Of impair
ing or preventing complete recov-
cry or cure as does the treatment
of fracture in any case.
Although hernia in adults is only
rarely cured by truss alone, there
is no question that considerable
share of all inguinal hernias in
young adults are durable by ca
carefully fitted truss-that is, fit
ted by and worn under the super
vision of the patients own physi-
clan and (b) regular exercises to
develop and strengthen the natural
muscular support. Such exercises
are to be done while the patient
supports the hernia carefully with
middle fingers of one hand. The
smaller and more recent the hernial
protrusion the better the chance of
cure by exercise. Further particu-
lars are given in pamphlet on

Rosso, Former Envoy
lou. s, May GET Post
Under BadogIio
BY HELEN LOMBARD.

Augusta Rosso, Mussolini's former
to Washington, is be-
ing mentioned as likely to play an
important role in Marshal Badoglio's
government.
Signor Rosso, a veteran. Italian
diplomat, has been in temporary dis
grace on his farm near Naples. If
he is called to a post IN the new
government, this will be an indica-
ton to Washington officials that the
Italians are veering toward the
United Nations.
During his long stay in Washing
ton, Signor Rosso took pains to make
it clear that HE was the Ambassador
Of Italy-and not II Duce's envoy.
He used to hold little "on the rec
ord" conversations with Washing
ton newspsipermen and ofiicials a.
which he displayed an amiable syn
icism toward politics in general and
Fascism in particular.
Sent to Moscow.
Signor Rosso was relieved of his
Washington post shortly after he
announced that he intended to
marry an American. the former Mrs.
Arthur Bunker. He was forthwith
dispatched to Moscow as Italian
Ambassador by way OF doing penance
for preferring an American divorce
to an Italian seniorita.
Several months ago Mussolini ap-
pointed Signor Rosso as Italian Am
bassador to Turkey. He never got
to Turkey, however, for the Nazis
stepped into the breach and insisted
that he was not only guilty OF being
married to an enemy alien but was
VIGOROUSLY sympathetic to the
Anglo-Saxon democracies.
The Nail Embassy in Washington
had very long ears. Some member
Of the staff may have transmitted to
Berlin the account of Signor Rosso's
"off -the-record" conversations or of
his fiancee's suggestion that she meet
Mrs. Roosevelt in person before she
married the Italian Ambassador.
Went to White House.
The then Mrs. Bunker deposited
cards at the White House and tele-
phoned afterward asking that she
be received by Mrs. Roosevelt. She
was told she would be invited to an
afternoon tea in the near future.
Mrs. Bunker answered that she
was particularly interested in hav-
Ing a private interview, with Mrs
Roosevelt because she was going TO
marry the Italian Ambassador.
If this story reached Berlin, and 1t
Is likely that it did, it is undoubted-
ly one of the reasons why Russo
failed to reach the capital of Tur-
key as Italy's envoy.
Another new, but fairly familiar
face in Rome may be that Of Daniele
Ware, who was italian Ambassador
to China when Count Ciano began
his diplomatic career.
Count Wares mother and wife are
English and after the Nazi-Fascist
alliance had gotten we'll under way
he was recalled to Rome and given

problems, and of meticulous plan
ming on vast scale to insure that
every vessel would be at the proper
spot at the proper moment" the
Navy said. The training of per-
sonnet was continued in North
Africa until the last moment before
showing off"
$500 Ships Took Part.
There were approximately $500
ships and craft of various kinds in
the total amphibious force thrown
against Sicily, and the Navy noted
that those under the American flag
constituted by far the greatest
number in the invasion fleet"
One OF the initial waves of Ameri-
can troops was taken across the
Mediterranean from North Africa
entirely by landing vessels.
Experienced officers marveled at
the seamanship of the crews-many
of whom had never seen the ocean a
year ago." the Navy said.
Some Of the American forces en-
gagged at Sicily had been transported
across the Atlantic specifically for
the job.

More Than 1900 U. 5.
Ships Took Part in
Invasion Of Sicily

BY the Associated Press.
The Navy has disclosed that more
than 1900 of its vessels. ranging
from cruisers to small landing craft.
effected the landing of United
States invasion forces on Sicily. The
ships were handled by force total
ing more than 10000 officers and
men.
Revealing details of naval par
ticipation in the Allied drive into
the Italian island, the Navy said
yesterday that the huge feet in
cluded not only large combat units
and many sizes of landing craft,
but also number of anti-sub-
marine patrol vessels and "a swarm
of motor torpedo boats"
The men had been especially
trained for months in the operation
which they carried out on the
Sicilian coast, but the Navy said
that success of the invasion from
the naval standpoint was essentially
a story of the success of specialized
landing craft which have been de-
veloped to break down the coastal
walls of the Axis European fortress"

The landing craft were not de-
scribed in great detail. Pictures
have shown they included small
barges for transporting men, tanks
and guns and fairly large ships
which are seaworthy and capable
of striking at Europe from ports in
the United States.
The American naval units engaged
in the largest amphibious operation
in history were under immediate
direction of Vice Admiral H. K.
Hewitt, commander of United States
naval forces in North African waters
Under Admiral Hewitt were Rear

shore was only the elimination of

Clashes Of Italians
And nazis Reported
In Northern Italy

By the Associated Press.
MADRID, July 29.-Generalissimo
Francisco Franco has Cancelled plans

tween Italian and German troops
in Northern Italy emphasized the
growing seriousness Of the situation
there.
Foreign Minister Count Gomez

summer, also is remaining in Madrid
to follow Italian developments at
first hand.
The reports of fighting between
German and Italian troops said that
Italian regulars, aided by civilians
and railwaymen. had, tried to block
the entry of Nazi forces north OF
Milan and Turin.
While the reports could not be
cOnnrmed ana there was no au-
thentic evidence of widespread re-
sistance to the movement of Ger
man troops, there seemed no reason
to doubt that Italian railroad work
ers-many of whom have long been
unsympathetic to Fascism-might
be making travel difficult and un-
comfortable for the Nazis.
The possibility also was seen that
isolated clashes might have taken
place between German and Italian
soldiers in Northern italy if the
Nazis had tried to use arms to en-
force requisition orders dated prior
to Mussolini's downfall.
There were reports that in many
cases Italian military storekeepers
had refused to recognize the validity
of these Fascist orders.

WPB Aide Sees Drop

Arthur D. Whiteside, vice chair
man of the War Production Board,
in letter to members of Congress,
has expressed the belief there will
be 20 per cent reduction in the
dollar volume of civilian business
for the last six months of this year,
compared with the sales for the
same period in 1912.
WPB said Mr.. Whiteside, the vice
chairman for civilian requirements,
wrote the letter to inform the leg
islators of the general situation" on
the business front so they would be
in a position to discuss conditions
while they were at home during the
congressional recess.
He told the members of Congress
he wanted to hear of any "particu-
larly severe local complaints"
WPB said that while the vice
chairman's letter did not mention
any reason for his prediction for a
reduction in sales volume, it OBJ
viously was because many articles,
such as radios, washing machines
and electric refrigerators, were of
the market this year.

Gen. GiIIem Reports
Italians Were Caught
Mapping in Sicily

BY the Associated Press.
The Italians were caught mapping
In the invasion Of Sicily, an Amer
lean general said, because their
intelligence officers cried 1wolf" too
often.
Back from an observation trip
to North Africa and Sicily, Maj.
Gen. Alvan c. Gillen,, jr, chief
Of the armored command at Fort
Knox, KY, told press conference
yesterday that the Axis forces had
received unmistakable reports that
the attack was coming.
''One italian general-he was very
useful to us later-told us they had
heard about the approaching inva-
sion 20 days ahead" Gen. Gillem
said They made preparations
every night. but it began to get
sort of tiresome, and along about

that the retreating Axis forces had
little time to sow systematic mine
fields, though the Allies occasion
ally ran into hastily planted mine
areas.
BOBBY traps were more trouble
some, and in at least one place
the Comiso Airbase-German SOL
diers dead on the field had been
mined as BOBBY traps. That was not
the first time, Gen. Gillem said, that
Germans had mined their dead.

Gen. Gillem said he had watched

The Sicilian population appeared

formed quickly before the building.
AS the mob tried to break
through the doors and hurled paw

Fascists inside the building tossed
hand grenades at them.
Soldiers were said to have joined
the attackers and sniped at the de-
tenders until the commander of the
army garrison Of Milan arrived with
orders from Marshal Badoglio to
obtain the surrender of the de-
tenders.
Before he could act, however, the
mob, encouraged by the presence

broke in and killed the Fascists, the

 Rep. Andrew J. May, O., Ky.) chairman of the House military af- fairs committee, has promised that his committee will give a thorough airing to the whole draft-father pie ture. There already is more propos- ed legislation in the Congressional hopper than will ever see the light of day, but one bill is almost sure to come in for much discussion. That is the one by Rep.

The war in the Pacific is cer- tain to be, it is said, one principal ly of sea and air power-not man power. That, at least, will be the arguments that opponents of the draft-father movement will put up.
