front-line coal mine in Germany,
partly in enemy held territory and
partly behind the American lines,

Allied Military Government detach-
ment attached to the 1st Army.
The main opening of the mine is
in Alsdorf, but there is one shaft

The military government detach-
ment under the command of 1t.
Col. John E. Patterson. Riverside,
Calf, has the responsibility of re-
opening the mines in Alsdorf,
Herzogenrath and Kohlscheid, all of
which have large capacity. The
mines have been saved from damage
by flooding, which would have taken
months of repair.
When a mining locality is cap
tured Capt. Paul M. Sorenson, Kim
shamcove, Alaska, makes a recon-
naissance to determine the i'm
mediate problems. A detachment of
four to six officers and enlisted men
go to the outlying towns to super

He attended the Army Military
Government School at the Univer-
sity of Virginia, and was sent over
seas last February. Since then he
has been in England, Normandy,
France, Belgium and Holland. His
wife and daughter, Emily Winthrop
Tribble, 10, live at 2122 Decatur
place NV. Maj. Tribble is a grad
uate of Mercer University.

emy, Capt. Bolton is 40, and has

of the 7th Army were rescued today
by other dougnboys who fought their
way through the Nazi encirclement
ring.
A dispatch from. 9Th Army
Group headquarters in France to-
day said the relieving force was
composed Of Japanese American
troops who fought brilliantly In
Italy. 1t identified the rescued
men as members Of the 14lst
Regiment Of the 36th Division.
1T was really ironical that we
were so glad to see the jap
anese," the dispatch quoted Pvt.
Walter Yattaw, Providence, r. l.,
as saying. But boy they are
real Americans.
The battalion was trapped October
23 when German troops cut in be-
hind them. The Yanks who fought
their way through the encircled men
said the surrounding woods were
full OF dead Germans and that the
enemy paid 10 for every one of our
casualties.
GA dispatch from headquarters
OF the United States 9Th Air
Force in France said the incident
occurred in the Demanaile de
Champ Forest, 7 miles southeast
OF st. Die, and that troops were
isolated at a distance of more
than 1000 yards from the main
7th Army force.)
Attacks Fought on.
During the week they were iso-
lated, the doushboys huddled in cold
foxholes and fought OF numerous
German attacks, but apparently the
enemy did not realize the desperate
plight OF the Americans because
they made only one determined as
sault and that on the last day lust
before rescuers reached the unit.
The Yanks were without food TO,
hve days. Rations and medical sup
plies finally were parachuted to
them from low-hying Thunderbolts
and fired in by artillery shells.
TO form cover for their foxholes
the men cut down 5-inch trees with

trary to or in violation of the terms
of this ordinance shall be deemed
