Nazis Beaten In Massacre

By coincidence, it was almost
four years to the day when
British troops used the same
crossroads as defense point
to hold the Germans while 9TH
err troops were being evacuated
from the CherbOurg peninsula
to England.
The Americans cut the PENN
sula at the exact point where
they had planned before the in
vasion although the COM
manding officers of the various
units did not know where this
point was when studying the
tactical problem.
Before they left England
they worked out attack prob
lens on sand tables showing
simulated terrain i'm this area.
"When we reached it," an Of
ficer said, 'it was like coming
home. Every officer knew
where he was and what he had
to dO.''
With John Thompson of the
Chicago Tribune and William
Stoneman of the Chicago Daily
News I climbed to a hilltop
overlooking the sea and gazed
down on the escape corridor
which had been closed by the
doughboys.
In a tall Elm tree, 1t. George
Connolly of Arlington, Mass,
had an observation post, obser-
ing the effect of artillery fire
on enemy positions.
We had taken over the area
where the enemy manned
positions. expecting pos
sihle landing from the west
side of the peninsula rather
than the east.
With Connolly were Pfc. Will
liam Wilson of China Grove, N.
c., and Pvt Lawrence Hickey
of Yonkers, N. Y.
Below us lay the narrow cor
ridor which the doughboys had
closed to the enemy and be-
yond was the blue sea. Be
hind us, American guns rum
bled and shells rustled over TO
burst in enemy positions.
Fires burning In the area OF
St. La D'Ourville threw a pail
of smoke into the sky and there
were other fires burning in the
green countryside, testifying to
the accuracy of the U. s. bat
teries.
From the north came the
steady. humping of our bornns
falling on enemy columns ana
the rattle of strafing, with the
whining dive Of planes.
And while the harsh SOUNDS
of war beat in waves over our
little hill there came from the
trees the cheerful melody OF
songbirds singing in the green
branches.
officers leading the assault
units which first cut the wess-
ern escape road were Caps.

out. Then the bigger guns en-
gagged In the fighting, and for a
confused, exciting time, the bat
tie ragged seemingly in all d.
recti0nS.
The battle ragged for about
two hours, with the Americans
putting their heaviest mortar
fire concentration on the ene-
my since the original landings.
On top of this, the artillery call
ed for ga serenade," while the
infantry had orders to hold on
at all costs.
When the artillery calls for a
serenade it means that every
gun in the group drops its 9TH
er missions and begins firing on
the area where the danger is
greatest. This particular sere-
made poured more than 1000
shells onto the Germans.
The enemy attack wavered.
1t slowed. Then it broke under
this awful pounding. The Ger
man columns began pulling
back. The fields around st. JAG
ques are Uttered with German
dead. Their bodies lit along the
hedgerows and in meadows
splashed with the rainbow col
ors Of flowers. Their attack was
mass suicide.
After this abortive attempt to
break out of the trap, the enc
my began moving north on the
roads to Bricquebec, while
other columns poured into the
same town from the other side.
The Allied air forces immedi-
ately bounced on this tempting
target. Fighters and divebomb-
ers smashed at transport con-
verging on the town, and, as
one officer said, "the filters had
a filed day."
Meanwhile, In the corridor
occupied by the Americans be-
tween Barneville and st. Lo D.
Qurville, the infantry was flush
ing out small groups Of Ger
mans and destroying isolated
points Of resistance. The enc
my was so confused that many
prisoners said they did not
know who their commanders
were or where they were sup
posed to 60.
Americans were behind Ger
mans and Germans were be-
hind Americans. But the ma
jor difference was the Yanks
knew their mission while the
Germans did not know which
way to turn.
The main road from Barne-
Vile to St. Lo D. Durville was
cut ut 10 p. m. last night, and
an example Of German confu-
sion was that when our troops
reached the st. Lo D'Ourville
crossroads they captured five
Nazi military police who had
been put there to direct traf-
fic down an escape route to
the south.

BY BILLY ROCHE

Young Corbett was the cock
lest fighter ever to win a title
and the most contemptuous of
II.
II was Nov. %, 1901. when
young William II. Rothwell, alias
Dung Corbett, came out of the
middle west to flatten the hith-
erto invincible Terry McGovern
in two blood tingling rounds at
Hartford, Conn. This was a stun
ming upset, for McGovern ruled
favorite at to S, and one Of
the few to bet against him was
this same upstart, Corbett.
It's ring history now how the
kid from Denver, on his way
to the ring, pounded boldly on
Terrys dressing room door and
bawled: Hurry up, Terry, come
out and get your licking!"
Up TO that time, McGovern's
opponents shriveled and shrank
when they faced his ferocious
aspect in the ring.
The defeat left McGovern raw
ing mad. The boys had fought
at 1875 pounds ringside, instead
of the till then conventional 1872
featherweight limit, and Terry
snarled at Corbett:
You amt the champion, any
way; you didn't make the
weight
DIDN'T WANT TITLE
That's O. X. with me, Ter
ry,' replied his conqueror. You
keep the title. I'm satisfied just
to be known as the guy who
kayoed Terry McGovern.'
Corbett repeated his K. O.
over McGovern in IL rounds,
March 81, 1908, in San Fran
cisco. Young Corbett couldn't
stand prosperity, however, and
defeats by heavier men, Jimmy
Britt and Bat Nelson. coupled
with his proclivity for gambling,
put him almost down and out.
William n, Rothwell, 2-2la
1876 at his fight best, was born
Oct 4, 1880, in Denver, Colo.
Game to the last inch, what
ever he did he did with all his
might When fighting, he fought
with both hands; stepping the
primrose path, he burned a trail.

met Young Corbett in gam

was broke, asked Jack TO stake
him TO half a buck. Doyle Of
fered more, but Corbett declined,
saying he just wanted a drink.
An hour later, strolling past
a roulette wheel, Doyle saw Cor
bett, surrounded by an admiring
crowd, playing the wheel, with a
stack of chips before him.
How much you got there?"
asked Doyle.
Bout $6OOO," replied Cor
bett.

Couple of hours later, Doyle,
finishing goodnight cigar on
his hotel veranda, heard some
one coming down the street
whistling cheerily. 1t was Young
Corbett.
