With The AEF
Honor, Devotion For General

For just moment he hest
tated. Then he said quickly
"Goodbye and coed luck
And thus he quickly turned
away.
His second in command
stepped up and bowed:
Men Of the 36th division,
pass in review before COM
manding general"
The bugle shrilled sharp and
cold and the guns ratified a
brisk and throbbing beat and
the troops of the Seth division
all of Texas and veterans all
marched sma~tly by their
general.
1t wasn't down Broadway or
Main street across a battle
field they'd won with their own
buddies and their own blood.
They were not parade soldiers
but tired t12ntlng men. Here
and there a shoulder pad or
piece of equipment was
missing and WEAKNESS stared
starkly out of almost every
face.
But there was a high-priced
pride in their stride, in their
sharp salute. in their 'eyes
right for leader they loved
and for whom they were say
ing with the highest stribute
they had:
Goodbye and good luck, sir
And 1ue are sorry -

they were great fighting men
and crisply cited chapter and
verse to prove their achieve
ments in Italy were unparal-
leled in military history.
He spoke of tnei- victories
and of the costliest and the
most famous of failures-that
first brutal crossing of the
Rapido river where they lost
almost 1000 men in 48 hours.
He told them simply that had
been no fault of their own but
because they had been order
ed to do what was impossible
with the troops available for
the attack.
He asked them to join him
in moment of silence to
honor the thousands of their
friends who had fallen since
the division splashed ashore
at Saleino in September. For
that moment there was not
single motion in all that
mass of olive drab.
Only once did he mention his
personal problem. He said he
was sorry not to be able to
lead them any longer and let

fight for their new general as
they fought for him and no
man could ask more. He tod

SPRING

Spring is just around the corner,
And it makes us as happy as
little Jack Horner.
AS the months go by it gets warm
er and warmer,
And it won't be long till I'll be

I'll work in the garden all the
long day;
Not very much time will have
for fun and play.
I will do all I can to help my I'm

And show the world how pa

War On Many Fronts

War and the Working Glass said the time has now run out" and preparations from the east and west have finally been completed.
 CommandOs Land
 Fascist newspapers from northern Italy said Allied commandos had landed in unusual strength on the Italian Riviera, adjoining France on the Mediterranean, and had de- Stroyed newly-built coastal fortifi- cations.
 On the land fronts, the Germans laid down heavy artillery barrage in the mountains west of Cassino in southern Italy, where there was considerable patrol skirmishing. No unusual cavtiity was reported on the southern Russian front. The Red air force made destructive at- tacks on besieged Sevastopol by day and night on Saturday.
 In the Pacific, Allied bombers ranged widely against Japanese island positions over the weekend Targets included various points along the New Guinea coast, Rubaul on New Britain, the Carolines, Mar shalls and Kurile Islands.
 In northeastern India, the Japa- nese opened general counter-of- fensive along the Kohima front, and 8 communique indicated the fighting was extremely heavy and the Japanese were making some progress despite large losses.

England CooIs To Neqro Soldiers

London, May 8. - (UP) - The London News Chronicle charged today that the many thousands of American Negro soldiers in Britain who were received warmly by the British people on their arrival two years ago, now are barred from community life here because anti Negro prejudice among White American troops has infected" the British public.
 In long article by a staff cor respondent, the newspaper said American Negro troops constitute the largest Negro population Britain has ever known and that the pres- ent situation poses a problem vital to the morale of these troops as well as S tse development of Anglo American relations.
 Tt was with pleasant surprise that American observers who were here in 1922 when the first Negro contingents arrived from America saw amicable and smooth relations develop between these Negro troops and their British hosts" the article said.
 Are the American Negro troops as happy today as they were then, as Allies and guests of the British people? The blunt and simple ans sWer is mo-"
 The article contended that the attitude of some Britons toward these troops has changed and that the Negroes no longer have the good VIII and cooperation of the general public,

 The War Department said that from June, 1943, until last March 31, the prisoners put in 19,300,321 man. days of work harvesting and can- ming crops, numbering and general work for the Army which included salvage, laundering and warehouse jobs.
 The prisoners are treated "hu- namely and fairly" it said, but strict discipline is maintained. The Germans, especially, are familiar with the terms of the Geneva con- vention regarding the treatment of prisoners and the department said that most of them realize they are being given all rights and privileges to which they are entitled"
 Only 285 prisoners have escaped since the war started and all but five who made their breaks recent ly have been captured.
 Since the prisoners are now be- ing used to help meet labor short ages. the Army said that future camps probably will be built in the Great Lakes areas, New England and the Middle Atlantic States and on the Pacific coast.
