WITH AMERICAN TROOPS IN
THE ST. Lo SECTOR. July 13.-
Pfc. G. G. Smith, Philadelphia,
Tenn. was a one-man army for q
brief period-and didn't know it
until his battle" was over and won.
Pfc. Smith, leading scout for a
rifle squad in an attack, wormed
forward $50 yards at ''H-hour." He
saw an enemy soldier near a hedge
row. The man ran. Pfc. Smith fol-
lowed and came on a machine gun
nest. He shot the gunner. He also
fired at the assistant gunner, miss
ing.
Then he wondered why no Amer
lean comrades were near and sud-
denly realized he was alone in an
enemy outpost area. He quickly
crawled back to his own line and
demanded why the rest Of the squad
hadn't joined In the attack.
1T hasn't started yet" he was
told. you must have got your
signals mixed"

nurse. The men brought aboard
were pleased to be out of battle
and seemed even more pleased to
find themselves near young women,
she said. She said that probably
all nurses had had dozens of pro-
posals due to temporary emotions"
by their charges. She Is not en-
gagged.
Toughest trip was March, 1943,
return in convoy with lights out.
The ship then was a hospital trans
port, not a white hospital ship en-
titled to the protection of the Hague
convention. There were 1,10O
wounded men aboard. She remem-
bered the smell of burned flesh, the
endless work Of attempting to care
for SO many men.
She expects to ship again soon.
She'll miss the life after the war,
she said, because she likes the sea-

MUSSOLINI SAID
TO BE- VERY ILL

BERN Switzerland, April Is -
R- The Fascist Press said today
that Benito Mussolini was grave
ly ill, providing the first confirm,
alton of long reports.
The Corriere Dele Sera said the
former duce of the Italian En-.
pire, "devoting himself to reflec.
ton in solitude, is already detach-
ed from the world, waiting for
death to st-ike.''
The Geneva Tribune, which
picked up the Corriere item, said
it was further reported that Mus
solini was in need of a duodenal
operation but that doctors felt
his condition made it too risky.
Ever since Mussilini's custer as
Italian premie-, last July and his
subsequent sensational rescue
from the Badoglio regime by Ger
man paractutists, there have been
recurrent reports that he was
critically ill, or even that he had
died.
Shortly after disclosure last
September that he had established
