present scale. At the present time the United States part of the F1fth Army has an effective ret shortage of 13,072 officers and men"
 This shortage of men needed so desperately in our battle line re- suited from the inability of the Se- lective Service System to meet the Army's call for manpower the pre- viousl summer. Only July, Selective Service had delivered l94,000 men of the Armys call of 235,0O0. In August and September the Army had requested l75000 men month and received l31 ,000 in August and 122,000 in September.
 Pursuit to the North
 Pursuit of the enemy was enter getic even though we were now making heavy withdrawals in prep aration for ANVIL, the attack in Southern France which was sched- uuled for August. Between mid-June and the last of July more than division week was withdrawn from the forces in Italy to train and stage for this operation. The 45th was ordered out of the line on 14 June, the Sd on IT June, and the seth on 27 June. The United States " Corps under Maj. Gen. w. D. Crittenberger moved nito the line in place of the VI Corps. which has been withdrawn 13 June. The French Corps of four divisions (lst Motorized Moroccan, 3d Algerian Infantry, 4th Moroccan Mountain, and 2d Moroccan Infantry were withdrawn between and 2l July, and replaced by the II Corps which had been out of the line for a rest.
 To compensate partially for this heavy drain on his resources and to utilize fmore fully antiaircraft units which were no longer required in such large numbers as result of our increasing air superiority, the theater commander retained several groups as infantry to form the 473d Infantry. At the time the 442d Infantry Regiment, composed of Americans of Japanese descent, was fighting with distinction on the left flank of the Fifth Army. Thus, by the end of June. Pescara, 95 miles east of Rome, had been cap tured and the Allied line extended across the pcnsinsula through Lake Trasimeno. Tn July the Fifth and Eighth Armies gained 50 miles. Aft CT heavy fighting lasting two weeks, Florence fell to British troops of the Fifth Army. Five days later United States troops captured Pisa. Meanwhile, the Eighth Army had passed through the Apennine Die vide, and on q September captured Riminl in the valley of tho Poe.

 The years passed on. Bill did not elect to go back to the chamber, and never saw service there again.
 "Once is enough Bill used to say; "Others have the right to increase their vocabulary and ora tory, and so step down and out. You know the Board Of Alder men is really the beginning, in many cases, for noted statesmen

 But suddenly something hap pened, he was taken sick, and before long was pronounced dead.
 We liked Bill Walsh, we liked his company, we liked his good natured jibes, and his extolling of those people he admired. He was thoughtful, and full of pity to those he found in the trouble of the law.

(By THE OUT-EASTER)

William J. Walsh died recently at his home, 63 Crescent Street. There was not much newspaper comment at the time, but just the same Bill Walsh was a well known citizen and as a constable and civil process server had much contact with the members of the Waterbury Bar Association and the many people on which serv- ice had to be made.
 Tall and erect, Bill Walsh car- ried himself with much alacrity as he travelled back and forth through the central streets of Waterbury His bearing made him look the part of the position he occupied. And In the service he conducted he was the kind of a civil officer, who readily under stood the plights of the ones mem toned in the papers, and had deep consideration for their wei fare. He was never a bully. just the reverse. he was kindly disposed. and rendered advice and counsel which had some ef- feet and guidance for the persons involved. Out of business, no ones company was more enjoyable. He was a wonderful story teller and mimic. Back in the days of 1912 and 1913 he served as an alder man from the fourth ward. This was during the Reeves adminis- tration, and at time when the old City Hall was destroyed by fire. It was ward representation in the Board of Aldermen in those days. Daniel T. Harrington was the president. The late Johnny Gallagher of "Out East" was the vice-president. Dan Began and John Hurley were also .n the Board of Aldermen. The Re- publican members were few and far between. because this was about the time, the town was changing It's politics, so that Democrats were being sent to the Aldermanic Chamber instead of Republicans. Try as they did, the Republicans who had lost the first ward, were not able to re- cover it.
 Meetings, after the fire, were held in the old Library Building at the corner of West Main and Leavenworth streets. Oh, what

 Further south the Fifth Army offensive had been halted before strong defenses of Cassino. Some of the bitterest fighting of the war ragged at this point. Determined att tempts to capture the town failed in the face of fanatiSal resistance by crack German units-notably the 1st Parachute Division, which General Alexander termed the best German division any front. It. Gen. Jacob L. DeVers, Deputy Allied Commander, wrote me on 22 March:
 We are struggling here with time. On March Is I thought we were going to lick 1t by the attack on Casino and advance up the Liri Valley. We used air, artillery, and tanks, followed closely by in- fnntry. I witnessed the attack from across the valley. It got off to start with excellent weather. The bombing was excellent and severe, and the artillery barrage which followed it and lasted for two hours was even more severe and accurate, with 900 guns participating. Two groups of medium bombers, followed by II groups of heavies followed by three groups of mediums, started on the minute at 8:30 a. m. and closed at 1900 noon, the groups coming over every 10 minutes up

Gold Badges! Insignias for Fire, Police Commis-
 sioners Evoke
 Comment.
By a StaR Member


 The other day in Hartford, the board of finance appropriated the sum Of $200 for a proper and dig nifled gold badge for It's new chief Of police, Mike Godfrey, a Y.D. World War No. I veteran, and a fine fellow.
 Years ago. too, Waterbury, used to present its board of public safety commissioners with the fln- est gold badges in the market. And when the commissioners com pleted their terms, the daughters of some used to have them made over into a gold belt buckle. And they added stunning" to the ap- pearance of the fortunate young lady.
 But now!
 They do say that some of the present-day badges as worn by some of our best known commis- sioners lack in cost what they once did probably not over two dollars. And yet our fire and police commissioners function without cost to the municipality: in other words they are paid nothing, unlike some of the other boards.
 The average commissioner. in years gone by. was very proud of his insignia of office. He used 10 show 1. now and then whenever he pulled back and relaxed with his vest wide open. Then 1t was, one knew he was a distinguished combined police and fire commits sioner. For real public display, he wore 1t whenever the police and fire departments were lined up on The Green for official in- spection. And how they did in- spect: why. say. those commissions CTS of the past eyed the firemen and pQlIeenien from head to foot. They Appeared like a wnosey' lot. I.4s.st441 l#% I4 s4I11s F4FHN&14E 1|aU
