UNITED NATIONS AT WAR
|, s. sERv.cEMEN IN ICELAND


u. S. sERv.cEMEN IN ICELAND
American servicemen in Iceland
have found themselves in the midst
of a civilization older than their own.
Iceland has seven times as many
books per capita as the United States.
1t has almost no illiteracy. School
children must learn four languages
besides their own-English, German,
French and Danish. In Iceland, the
whole American garrison is housed
in series of corrugated galvanized
iron huts that look like diversified
water mains split in two, cupped
against the ground and anchored to
prevent the occasional 1O0-mile-per-
hour winter wind from blowing them
away Icelanders hope that these
iron huts may serve them as barns
and even as houses-after the Amer
leans are through with them.

BUILD FOR AMERICAN USE
The Australian Allied Work Coun-
Gil spent $780,, 100000 on public works
from February 26, 1912, through June,
1943. Of this amount, more than one
third was used on work for American
forces. The building of one large air.
field was begun six hours after the
Americans asked for it, and was ready
for bombers II days later. Most
spectacular item on the program is
the Tocumwal repair and assembly
depot which has sos buildings and
covers more than 16 square miles.
Nine weeks after work started, the
depot was ready for the first Amer
lean plane to land. The council also
has built an aircraft" hospital for
American army planes, hospital for
American forces at Sidney and is
now building trans-shipment base
for American forces unloading mate
rial sent from America.
"BATTLE BABY" EDITIONS
The Special Services Division of the
U. S.. Army recently inaugurated
plan of procuring condensed "battle
baby editions of "a magazines to be
distributed to all posts, large and |
small, over the world. The magazines
were chosen as result of survey
of the mems tastes. Stripped of all
advertising, most of them are pub
lished on thin paper and on formats
of greatly reduced size, although the
type is legible. These editions are
available only to servicemen overseas.

CRETE GUERRILLAS PIN
DOWN GERMAN TROOPS

Guerrilla activities on the island of
Crete are keeping 10000 German
troops on combat duty, the French
Brazzaville radio reported recently in
quoting a dispatch published in the
Swiss newspaper Courier de Geneve.
The broadcast said that a patriot
force of 1900 men, aided by hundreds
of British soldiers who were unable
to escape when the island fell, was
battling the Germans.
The broadcast said the Swiss news
paper article identified the leader of
the patriot army as Greek General
Mendakis.
These forces are supported by the
population, which supplies them with
food and clothing and furnishes them
with useful information concerning
the movements of the occupation
troops" the broadcast said. Through
many surprise attacks against enemy
transport units and depots, the pa
triots supply themselves with various
munitions and automatic arms"

NEW RULING ON ALIENS

An enemy alien who is German,
Hungarian, Rumanian, or Bulgarian
citizen or national may be indicted
into the armed forces of the United
States and assigned to a war theater
in which he will not normally be re-
quired to fight against against fellow
nationals or blood relatives, under a
recent revision of selective service
and War department policies. The
change in regulations may cause some
enemy aliens to withdraw their OBJ
jections to all military service. Such
cases will be reconsidered. Because
of the recognition of Italy as a CO.
belligerent, local selective service
boards have been directed to recon
slider the classifications of Italian
registrants previously not acceptable
because they were enemy aliens.
Neutral aliens may file a selective
service form 301 and request relief
from service in the armed forces of
the U. S. However, if neutral alien
becomes a co-belligerent, the previ-
ously filed form becomes ineffective.

10000 French Die In "Secret" War Climaxed By Paris Capture
By ROsETTE mAR0ROvE MIA Staff CaFFnannntlanl

NAfN UNMNN ABEhGHNgIAteaWWN
 Somewhere in France, Aug. B. The triumphant patriot army which came tout in the open" to liberate Paris has actually been waging Q bitter. dramatic secret war against the Nazis since the earliest days Of the occupation.
 New figures show that up Co May, 10s4. more than 10000 patriots have given their lives for their country since the Armistice. Another 4O0.OO0 laneuish in prisons. Overcrowded. starved and tortured But they have taken their toll of the enemy also. More than 1000 Germans and traitors have died at the hands of the patriots every month. and more than 500 acts Of sabotage have been carried out. Con- aner or Die" has been the motto Of these underground allies. Their will to resist has never faltered.
 Not only has the patriot army been ofIicially recognized by the Provisional Government in Algiers, but it has been incorporated in the French Army. with all military rights and privileges. Led by Gen. Pierre Koenig, now military gover. nor of Paris. the FIT numbers an estimated 75O,OO0 men. the equiva. lent of 10 to l2 divisions.
 The Nazis have long realized that the French patriot army constituted n serious menace to their defense plans. Last summer. with the aid Of the vichy militia. German troops went into the mountains of the Haute sayoie on the borders of Switzerlan dand Italy) the greatest stronghold of the partisans. With artillery and machine guns. and sup ported by German planes. they tried to clean up the Maquis.

 Twenty factories working tof the Nazis blew up. plus certain im- pOrtant laboratories which needed the urrent badly. Thus a small squae of patriots achieved the same rec suits that a good-sized bombing rand might have accomplished. In this particular section the Germans had not the faintest idea who were the real resistance leaders. They were stili on the most friendly terms with some of the local leaders who dealt with them daily on ofhcial business. ALLIES PRAISE FFH
 Reports from Allied Headquarters have now acknowledged the work which French patriots did for the Allies. Tn answer to an appeal made by Supreme Headquarters on D Day asking them to delay German rein- forcements being brought up to the Normandy coast during the i2 hours the patriots went to work. They held back the enemy for l-2 days. All over France the "Maquis" sprang into life-Frenchmen did everything that was expected of them.
 While the Allies have for sOmE time past been able tO supply the men of the 'Maqais" with a cer- tain amount Of arms and stores by parahute. these supplies have been nothing like adequate Nov. properly equipped and armed. they have pro- vided a valuable addition to tlle army of liberation.
