WITH THE AEF IN SOUTH
ERN FRANCE Aug. 17-De-
layeO-tR-Even at the risk OF
being called a debunker, comes
now the time to tell the public
that this is no beachhead. It's
full-fledged 'front.' and then
some.
Comparing this with Anzio,
for instance, is like comparing
the Podunk Center gymnasium
with Madison Square Garden.
The first big difference is
seen from the sea, where the
whole coastline is dotted with
shipping. There are more than
800 big naval vessels. to say
nothing of countless small
landing craft, ducks, PIT boats,
tugs and so on.
From this invasion armada
supplies and troops are being
landed all along a 50-mlle
stretch of the Riviera. At Anzio
YOU could stand at one spot
and meet every soul who came
ashore.
Riding a PIT boat it took us
nearly an hour to find the par
ticular beach where we were
supposed to land, and we put
in at the wrong place several
times. At Anzio there was no
such trouble; everybody ran
the same gauntlet through
Bomb Bay" in order to reach
the tiny Nettuno docks.
Once ashore the difference
becomes far more marked.
Here you can ride halt the day
along the coast without get
ting shot at, even by enemy
artillery.
BY way of contrast it will be
recalled by the citizens who
were there, that at Anzio you
got blasted by German big
guns before you ever got off
the boat. And until the day the
Anzio beachhead burst its
bonds to overflow on to Rome
there never was a time when
you were out Of range of those
guns. And there never was a
time when you could drive
more than 80 minutes in any

MYSTERY Wells
SKELETON CASE

Nothing new has developed ii
the case" Tom Creekmore, di
rector of the State Bureau o
Identification, reported yesterday
concerning the unidentified skele
ton found near Camp Davis ovel
4 year ago.
The case precipitated much inter
est throughout the state in the
months following as clues to the
skeletons possible identity were Of
fered.
1--WE still have the skeleton here
at the bureau, and we are hoping
for new developments, but there
have been no additional informa.
ton received in several months,
he declared. g..
The skeleton in question was
turned over to the SBI by the
New Hanover county sheriffs de-
partment May 6, 1913. It had been
found in field near Camp Davis,
and the person to whom it be-
longed was thought to have been
dead for eight months.
The complete skeleton was
found above the ground. There
were no shoes, clothes, buttons
or other personal effects near.
A small quantity Of auburn hair
was discovered nearby, and was
of sufficient length and texture
to indicate that it belonged to
a woman. Examination of the
bones revealed no signs Of foul
play; however, it was argued that
the individual could have been
murdered or died from causes
that would not be reflected in
the bones.
Doctors who examined the skele-
ton stated that it was that of
woman, between 20 and 80 years
old.
Mrs. G.. P. Curry of Boston,
Mass, plastic surgeon, recons-
tructed the skull and pictures of
the plastic head were subsequent
ly made and distributed in an
effort to hasten Identification.
Attempt was made to associate
the skeleton case with the disap-
pearance of woman from cabin
in the Maffitt Village area about
November, 1872 the time when
the person to whom the skeleton
belonged was thought to have
died. However clues proved frut.
less, and law enforcement authori-
ties apparently abandoned the
idea that the two cases were con-
nected.

direction without running into
rifle fire.
What's more, any time you
looked up from that open
road you realized the Germans
were locking down On you
from the Alban hills. Here
we already control the heights
many miles inland-only the
doughtboys look down on the
Riviera drive. It's wonderful
feeling.
There are a hundred such
little differences between this
and any other beacnhead the
soldiers have known in North
Africa, Sicily and Italy; air
superiority such that when ack-
ack guns begin banging you
look only for protection against
falling flak-with few excep-
tons. At Anzio you always
looked for protection from
bombs.
The first week at Anzio you
ate whatever you could get
and you were doggone glad to
get it. This is D-Day plus 2
here and hot meals are being
served three times daily but
already everybody's gripping
about the '1ousy chow"
Countless rear echelon out
fits that never did get to Anzio
already are buzzing up and
down the roads along the
Riviera.
The final proof comes from
the correspondents who, in any
invasion, draw lots to see who
gets to 60 in first, because
the Army is too busy in the
early stages to be bothered
with food and quarters for
too many 1ewsmen.

With The AEF
Anzi0 Was Never Like This

During the rough days at
Anzio the atmosphere was so
tense that, regardless of his
official status, any incoming
reporter was greeted wita
shouts and general gladhand
from even his most cutthroat
competitor.
But here on the Riviera front
things are going so well that
any reporter arriving before
he is expected gets glowering
looks from his contemporaries
and ned better be sure he's
properly assigned to some
particular outfit or back he
goes to Italy in nothing flat.
Nope, boys and girls, this
amt no beachhead.

The Sauce Is the Thing!

To indicate the Importance OF
sauces In the culinary scheme OF
things, I point out that the great
Escofner, In his book, devotes the
second, third and fourth chapters
exclusively to sauces Of various
types. And In his comments on them
he brings out several points that
should be marked down and learned
by heart by any one aspiring to be-
come q gifted amateur chef.
In the first place, Esco6ier says,
experience, which plays such an
important part in culinary work, Is
nowhere 30 necessary as In the
preparation Of sauces, for not only
must the latter flatter the palate but
they must also vary in SAVIOR. con-
sistency and viscosity, In accord
ance with the dishes they accom-
pany."
Again, ANY sauce whatsoever
should be smooth, light without be-
ing liquid, glossy to the eye and
decided in taste"
And, AN essential point In the
making of sauces Is the seasoning,
and 1t would be impossible for me
to lay suficient stress on the Inn
