 In a cleared" German town, across the Roer, Feb. 24 - (U.Po - It was a good day for war-clear and bright.
 High overhead the snow exhaust trails from our fighter planes un- travelled through the sky in white embroidery above the smoke clouds of battle.
 The winter sunshine was warm. Tn a flower garden just behind us tulip plants stretched from black mud.
 We were walking along the rub ble-flled streets of this blasted town, when we spotted two CTS crouching about 10 feet apart with their helmeted- heads ducked and rifles pointed.
 As we dropped to the damp ground behind low stone wall, they told us a German sniper was hid- den in a building about block away. He had been taking pot shots in their direction. l.,
 Our questions were stopped by the hollow sound of Nazi rifle. It was a defiant lonely crack that seemed to have no echo.
 Then came the sharp report Of a big gun, a shrill whooSh and deal ening explosion. Two doughboys ium6ed ;.o, ran crouched across the o roadway and disappeared behind a ' side wall. In a few minutes. there was & series of shots, but this time they had a different ring. The hol- 1ow-sounding Nazi rifle had stop- ped. .
 Far off the big gun started ur ,. again. The sound of bombardmenl trebled into roar. But new sound !. different from the others-joineo in. It was a soaring swish, like the blast from the open door of gian' 2 furnace.
