The bonds represent the best and

Gadgets and goods on sale immedi-

Some may be made of inferior material
In the period of adjustment following

ROME, Feb. 26.-(R-The Italian
front simmered down to an uneasy
quiet of endless partrolling, con-
slant vigil and grim discomfort to-
day as the 10th U. S. Mountain
Division completed its task of
mopping up German positions
around Mt Belvedere, west of the
Bologna-Pistoia highway.
Artillery kept up a ceaseless
pounding along the jagged battle
line running across Italy through
the peaks of the Apennines and
down into the valley of the Pc
near the Adriatic.
There was some improvement in
American positions in the Belve-
dere area.
Characteristic of the difficulties
faced by American troops in Italy
are those Of the 8O5th U. S. Tank
Destroyer Battalion, whose pres.
ence in the Apennines was disclos-
ed officially today.
Most of the 805th is so isolated
in the rugged mountain country
south of Bologna that its only COM
munication with the outside world
is by field radio and pack mules,
which periodically hike above the
line where even jeeps must halt.
