MARYLAND Soldier EIudes N0zis
Through knowledge Of Stars
Bronze Star Won by
Corporol for Leading
Comrades to Sofety

Practical knowledge of following
the stars" was one Of the accom-
plishments which helped earn for
Corpl. Osborn Belt, 6505 Meadow
lane, Chevy Chase, Md, the Bronze
Star for "meritorious achievement
in the bloody battle of the bulge in
Luxembourg last winter, when he
was trapped behind German lines
Corpl. Belt, who is back at home
on 30-day furlough, recalls vividly
the exploit of fighting his way back
through German territory with q
small group of American soldiers
who once hid in a haystack. But
he was more surprised, he said, than
his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. r. o. Belt
when a letter arrived at the home
bringing the official citation for the
Bronze Star award.
Attached to the headquarters
battery of the 18th Division Artil-
lery near the town of Wiltz, Luxem-
bourg, TVS Belt is credited in the
citation with having collected a
group of five men and led them
through strongly held German
positions to friendly troops"
Led Men to Safety.
Through his aggressive leader
ship and practical knowledge of
following the stars" said the cita-
tion, "he was able to lead these
men through exposed terrain and
four days of bitter hardship tc
safety. The supreme fortitude and
tenacity of purpose displayed by
Technician Belt reflects great credit
upon him and the armed forces of
the United States"
The haystack incident was toward
the end of their trek back to the
American lines, Corpl. Belt recalled
The American soldiers dug hole
in the haystack and pulled hay
over them. Some German soldiers
came, surrounded the haystack, he
remembered, and even sat down to

lean against the hay where he and
his men were hidden.
Asked how he got out, Corpl
Belt said: "Our artillery began
pounding the German positions,
hitting some houses nearby early
one morning. So the enemy SOL
diers got excited and we slipped out
about O'Clock and found our way
back to the American lines"
Feet Frostbitten.
Hospitalized for badly frostbitten
feet, Corpl. Belt said they were
improving, but he was still listed
for noncombat service. Asked il
he received a Purple Heart for the
damage to his feet, he replied: 81
refused it."
He wears ribbon with stars for
four campaigns, Normandy, France
Luxembourg and the Rhineland.

LONDON, July 20.-A second let
ter from an American soldier charg-
ing that soldier prisoners were "tor-
tured" and beaten" In the Army's
Lichfield, England, guardhouse, was
published in Stars and Stripes to-
day as Army headquarters began in
vestigating similar complaints by
two other soldiers.
Il was also In the 10th Replace

was not otherwise identified. 'T was
not beaten myself but 7 have seen
brutal treatment given our Amer

freezing temperatures, they ran us
into supposedly hot showers and
then turned on ice cold water.
II have also seen guards beat and
lash fellows with naked bodies in
the latrine, which was so cold that
toilet seats had layer of ice on
them. Blood could be seen on the
walls of the latrine at any time. At
all times there was more than one
guard applying torture. " The
guards-often drunk-said they had
been given authority by their co
Commanding officer)."
Stars and Stripes earlier had
printed a letter signed Dough,
Company M, 3l0th Infantry" who
said he was beaten four times while
confined in the guardhouse and that
he had seen other soldier prisoners
beaten with clubs "for minor mis-
behavior" Dough" also quoted the
guards as saying that they had
orders from the co ." and

one will be punished" an Army

but still is taking men in under
the draft as requirements.
Nearly 100000 Army men already
have been discharged under tht
point system.
| This figure was reported by Act
! ing Secretary of War Patterson
yesterday at a news conference tt
explain why the Army has refused
to met recent demands of so indus
trial and professional groups for the
release of soldiers to meet civilian
needs.
Declaring that it was impossible
for the Army to accede to all re-
quests made for the discharge OF
soldiers for the sole reason that
they are needed in their former oc-
cupations, Mr.. Patterson said the
requests have ranged from no.
600 men for the coal mines to three
men for breeding mice"
The public doesn't seem to under
stand, he said, that if the Army met
all those requests, it would have to
release at least 1000, 900 men, COM
pletely disrupting the policy set UP
by the joint chiefs of staff for press
ing the war against Japan and also
forcing the abandonment of the
point system.
Many Men Being Released.
At this time, he said, the Army
is returning to civilian life about
twice as many men as it is taking
in through inductions This rate is
accounted for not only by the point
system but for all other reasons
such as age and wounds.
BY June /, 1916, the Acting Secre-
tary said, the Army expects to have
released a total of 100000 mer
and to have taken in 100000 new
men. No more than these 100000
can be discharged, Mr.. Patterson
said, without reducing the total
Army strength below the level be-
lieved necessary to insure complete
defeat of Japan with a minimum
cost in American lives.
Meanwhile, the point discharge
system for releasing conscientious
objectors has been temporarily
stalled pending the outcome of leg
islation prohibiting such plan.
The House Military Affairs Com.
mittee has reported favorably bill
providing that mo point system
shall be applied in the release o.

Importance under civilian direc-
| ton. ."
National Selective Service, which
announced the point discharge sys-
tenn for conscientious objectors ir
May and planned to release ap.
proximately $50 of the men over 9
years period beginning next month
said it had deferred starting thu
system until Congress has acted or
the measure.
Patterned on the Army's poini
discharge arrangement, the Selectivt
Service plan was based on length
of service, martial status and num-
Der of dependents. 1t would have
affected about a tenth Of the mer
now serving in work camps anc
other civilian projects.
The House bill, while ruling out
the point plan, would permit the
discharge of objectors in cases oi
undue hardship.

visit of Admiral Lord Louis Mount
batten and his staff to the Manila

ture operations against Japan.
The announcement that the pur-
pose of the meeting was to arrange
complete coordination between the
two commands, implied an inter-
change of plans and strategy for the
two theaters in carrying out the
complete defeat of Nippon.
Undoubtedly the question of jap
anese-held Malaga and the Indies
the mopup of Burma and the China
campaign. as well as the invasion
of the japanese homeland itself
held priority in the conferences.
While the two leaders met, men,
bers of their respective staffs dis
cussed problems in common.

for whom Lord Mountbatten ex-
pressed great admiration, he visited
Gen. Walter Kruger, commander
of the 9Th Army; Admiral Thomas
