Reports from headquarters said
American warships and swarms of
fighter bombers covered the land

bombs and machine gun fire into
the German attachments as they
surged down to the beach to give
battle to the surprise element which
contributed to the success in out

The Americans broke up the
counter attacks, a field dispatch
says, and they successfully estab-
lished bridgehead."
The action was near the mouth
of the river, 40 miles west of Mes
sina, and probably has resulted in
the trapping of a large force of
Germans within 10-mile area be-
tween the main American Army at

and the landing party at the rear.
Elsewhere the battle of Sicily has
resulted in steady advances on all

Special Service is Set
for Friday July 10

THREE YEARS ago on July
is, Our Lady of Lourdes Grotto
at ST. JoSeph's sanatorlum con
Quoted by the Sisters of Charity,
was formally dedicated. Since
that time additions and improve
ments have made the Shrine the
lovely symbol it is today,
through the donations of Catho-
les and Protestants alike. At the
third anniversary of the Shrine
next Friday services will be held
in the evening at 1870 o'clock
and the public is invited.
In the old story of Our Lady
OF Lourdes, recently told in
best selling novel Song of
Bernadette' by Franz Werfel
and now being made into a mo-
ton picture, Our Lady appeared
before Bernadette wearing a
blue sash on her robe. Conse-
quently this color is carried out
in the local shrine by the light
ing effects and also in the blue
candles and altar lamps upon the
white marble altar.
ARRIVE IN TIME
The two statues OF Carrara
marble which are there TO depict
Our Lady and Bernadette were
made in Italy and although they
had been ordered many months
before and were due in August,
1910, they luckily arrived in
New York on June 6-just four
days before Italy declared war.
The stone for this shrine
which is a replica of the original
one in the small town of Lourdes
in Southern France, came from
Castalia, Ohio, and is called
Tufa stone, which, in reality, is
petrified wood, millions of years
old. Twenty tons of it were used
to build the replica and water is
piped through it TO drip from the
rocks to form the pool of health
giving water. The actual con-
struction took from May s to
July l6, 1910.
INTERESTING MEMENTO
One interesting memento is
cemented into the stone of the
Shrine. A visitor at the origi-
nal grotto in France brought
back a piece Of the stone on

which the Virgin was TO have
appeared. The 'isitor broke the
stone into three pieces. gave two
to her sisters and had the third
piece made into golden locket
which she presented to the Sis
tiers for the Shrine.
The back of the grotto is
mounded with earth, and flow
ering myrtle grows all over it.
A secluded nook is there with
the fourteen stations OF the cross
placed on the walls of the hos
pital in plaques of bas relief.
