Donkeys Rate In
Italy; Women Are
Not So Valuable

Cpl. Tommie Walters, who last
week returned to an eastern
camp with the hope of getting an
early discharge, doesn't have a
high regard for the average Eur
opean male insofar as the lat
ter's estimate of woman is con-
cerued.
Member of the air corps in the
European war zone, Cpl. Walters
said one day he inquired of an
Italian peasant why it was that
he rode his donkey while his wife
walked ahead. The Italian ex-
planned that the donkey was eco
nomically more valuable than the
wife and that 10 case of flying
bullets from the front the wife
stood between the bullets and
the donkey, thus lessening the
FISK OF DEAD donkey.
1t was hard to replace the DON
key, he said, but in case the
wife got killed he could get a re-
placemen without difficulty.
Cpl. Walters said it was the
common thing to see a woman
hitched alongside an OK pulling a
load. This practice, he said. he
observed both in France aud It.
ally: ,
Hunger in Italy, he said, was
pathetic beyond words, with peo-
pie walking early and late for
miles with buckets to get meal
scraps from American army mess
camps, ready to battle for any
morsel of food. so he observed.
Conditions like this. he said,
made American soldiers appreci-
ate all the more their precious
homeland.
