 "IT'S JERRY!"
 Atkinson knew his only chance to live was to attract the atten- tion of his own tanks, circling the area while ground troops moved up. He forced himself to lie on his back, and stuck his good leg, crimson clad, in the air. Every time the leg made an appearance the Japs tried to shoot 1t down.
 Meanwhile, 1st It. Charles Neil son spotted the signal and moved in with his tank. Nelson knew that Atkinson wore the loudest red socks in the. division.
 ''It's Jerryl' he shouted.
 Atkinson's troubles were not over. A tank gunner spotted him and thought he was a Jap. Ma chine guns chattered, and shells tore the dirt a few feet from Att kinsonis face. He threw up his hands in protective gesture, and a shell ploughed through the palm of his right hand. The firing stopped as quickly as 1t began when the gum ner discovered his error.
 Nelson brought his tank nearer, and in matter of minutes, Atkin- son was carried to safety in Q rub- Der poncho.

Red Blood And Red Socks
 One Of Wars Strongest Sdgds
Saved the Life of Lt. Atkinson on 0kinuwo

 Olxinawa- (DelayedD ~ The red- dest pair of socks in the First Di- vision saved the life of 1st It. Fitz- gerald Atkinson, 24, of Nashville, Tenn, and provided c happy ending for one of the strangest stories of | the war.
 Lieutenant Atkinson had taken his tank into Okinawa's Mzado valley twice in three days, killing 100 Japs. He had drawn nothing more punishing than mortar fire. which he weathered easily. Then all hell broks loose.
 His tank had been destroyed, all but one member of his crew were dead, and Jerry had been wounded eight times. The pay off came when Marines took him for Jap, and put friendly" bullet into his already riddled body before they realized their mistake.
 When their General sherman tank was hit by anti-tank gunfire, his driver tried frantically to es- cape, but the impact had broken the tracks. Before Lieutenant Atkinson could shout instructions over the tanks radio communication system, two more shells tore home, perm anently wrecking his mount One mas was killed.
 MANAGE TO ESCAPE
 Cpl. Robert R. Boardman, 2l, of Salem, Ore, pointed to flames al- ready breaking out inside the tank, and Atkinson gave the order to clear out. Before 1t could be carried out, however, another shell crashed through the turret, killing the gunner sitting directly in front of him. Atkinson's leg was badly torn and burned, but he and Board- man managed to escape. Unable to walk, Jerry was at- tempting to crawl out when Boardman came to his assistance. Together, they made 1t to a cane patch 250 yards away. It looked like temporary safety.
 But as Atkinson and Boardman entered, a Japanese rifle exploded almost in their faces. A single enemy bullet tore through Atkin- sons neck, took off Boardman's right index finger, and split his windpipe in two. Atkinson fell l where he was hit. Boardman tum- bled into ravine.
 Boardman tried to call to At kinson, but discovered he could not make a sound. His vocal chords had been destroyed. He de- cided the lieutenant, unconscious and bleeding profusely, was dead. Unable to reach the officer without exposing himself to certain death, Boardman edged his way down the ravine and managed to reach his own lines safely.
 Meanwhile, out in enemy ter- ritory, Atkinson had recovered consciousness. He tried, painfully, to straighten his broken limbs. A Jap rifle cracked, and Atkinson realized he had been shot in the chest. For what seemed lifetime, he lay in the open. Finally, he tried again to shift his body. Once more he was wounded, this time in the shoulder.
 Moving his eyes but keeping his body rigid, Atkinson saw eight Jap- anese riflemen 20 feet to the left, and suddenly realized that they were using his body as barricade while they sniped at advancing American troops.
 Atkinson finally moved again. The Japanese shot him in the hip. Desperately, Atkinson gathered his strength and when the attention of

Drive Begins

+ A double-barrelled chance for all
members of Fort Huachuca to sub
scribe to YANK, the Army Weekly,
will be provided on payday, 81
March. Not only will all service
men and women here have an OPP
portunity to subscribe to YANK at
their camp address and home ad-
dress, but also ten per cent of all
money collected for subscriptions
will be retained in company funds.
Here's the setup: In every order
ly room an enlisted man will be ap-
pointed to enter subscriptions for
YANK, the CT weekly, as men leave
the pay-table. At the special YANK
table, soldier subscribers names will
be entered on the camp subscrip-
ton list, home subscription list, or
both. In response to requests from
soldiers all over the world, YANK
has arranged to send subscription
to any soldier at his home address
so he may keep permanent file
there.
Rates for either type of Subscrip-
ton are So for the year, 81 for six
months, of which ten per cent is
kept by the unit fund of the sub
Scribing soldier. All subscriptions
are, of course, voluntary, and are
offered as convenience so a SOL
dier may be assured of getting his
copy of YANK every week without
fail.
Written by and for enlisted men,
YANK is now printed in fifteen edi-
tionS in all parts of the world. It's
features such as Sad Sack, Mail Call,
pin-up girls, What's Your Problem,
The Soldier Speaks, and strictly CT
are the most popular soldier read
ing in the world. It's staff of en-
listed men correspondents, photog-
raphers, artists and editors cover
the war on all fronts for GIs and
from a GI viewpoint.
YANK will follow a soldier where
ever he goes, overseas as we'll as in
the States, wherever mail is deliver
ed. Simply fill out the change-of-
address blank in any issue of YANK
and send it in.

before Our troops made their land
ingS.
In two months we ship overseas as
much tonnage as went to General
PerShing in all Of World War I. In
one month in Europe we fired as
many artillery shells as General
PershingS Army fired in the whole
of the other war. Our military rail-
way service reaches across western
Europe, Asia and North Africa. Six
teen hundred ships under direction
of the Transportation Corps carry
men and supplies around the globe.
This war has demonstrated clearly
the Importance of supply as factor
in military strategy. It is a war of
supply In Europe we have fought
the Germans on basis of manpoWer
equality most of the time with one
American against one or more Ger
mans. Our air strength, artillery and
other equipment gave us the pre-
pOnderance of power. We hear that
the Russians in their offensives have
a strength of three or four to one
against the Germans but they have
fewer supplies. The difference in
supply superiority and in mobility
between the Germans and the Amer
leans is the contribution of the Army
Service Forces.
Our production goals for 1915 are
larger than ever because in Europe
we need more heavy guns, ammuni-
ton, tanks, more of everything than
was expected and more than was
used in previous campaigns. We need
supplies to equip French troops,
supplies for the Philippine Army, for
the Russian Army, and for the Chi
Eese. The supplies provided our allies
are we'll spent. Their effort is heroic
and they need our help.
Overseas civilian supply is an in
creasing problem. AS we liberate new
areas we must rehabilitate their
plants, utilities, railroads and farms
to, chelp~ them support themselves.
Even aside from our eagernesS to
help, our friends, we cannot have
starvation and unrest behind our
fighting fronts. We use French rail-
roads from the port to our front
lines. Already we have sent to
France some seventeen hundred loco
motives and twenty thousand freight
cars and six hundred locomotives
are on the way. We have rebuilt
seven thousand miles of railroad in
France and Belgium, including hun
dredS of long bridges. We use French
production facilities as far as we can
to make tires and clothes, and even
heavy equipment needed by our

demand for civilian supplies will
rise. Finally, more will be needed for

Some 400 items are now in short

back to this country, handling their
