OUTSIDE LA HAY E-DU PU11o'
July 4. Delayed - lUP)-EXeept
for a few little motern mechanized
details, the fighting here could be
right out of the Last OF the Mohl-
cans.
American infantrymen are fight
ing through woodlands cut up by
thousands Of hedges and stone walls
which afford perfect cover for rifle
men and machine gunnerS of both
sides. The troops bang away at
each ether from behind trees and
walls in a manner made familiar
by James Fenimore Cooper. Only
the remote bang of the artillery
or the roar of planes overhead dis
tur6 the illusion in this clearing
at the intersection of two foot
paths.
A couple of thousand yards below
here lies the town of La Haye-Du
Puts We are on the forward side
of a hill which American infantry
men Stormed and cleared yeSter-
cay.
They are fighting their way down
toward the town and its tough 60
ing, according to Capt. William
Carpenter. who admitted he was
from Nebraska but wouldn't give his
home town because he doesn't care
about having his name in the home
town paper.
This Carpenter is a tough hombre,
tall. broadly-built and with a nasty
CLINT in his eye when he talks about
Germans.
Hey. get Gown there" he growls
at a man who walks upright across
path and then explains:
We've been getting shelled here.
They can spot us when we move
around and then they let us have
il"
He says that with little laugh,
as Though it were amusing.
Eight German prisoners lie
sprawled nearby. all of them very
young.
They don't fight very hard
kids like that" Carpenter explains.
We didn't have a very tough time
coming up the hill. Our company
suffered only three casualties when
We reached cur objective. I'm con-
vlnced that if we had the same
+ number of men holding the same
Positions We could hold on almost
forever"
