Wee War Fought On Morgan Line; GLs Are Killed

agreement against considera bly, larger force of Yugoslav soldiers. Both sides agreed to stand pat there until the peace conference decides who gets what.
 Meantime there is some shooting Post No. 36 bIcks the road to the east with a pole such as guards railway crossing at home. Signs in three anguages-Itahan, Yugo- slay and English-say, in effect, that it is hot healthy to go further. Fifty yards or so down the road the Yugoslavs have there barrier across the road. Two or three American enlisted men stand behind our pole. They are armed Two or three Yugo- slaV soldiers stand at ease behind their barrier. There has been no shooting at Post No. 36
 But nearby last week convoy of three American jeeps was fired on at night; one American killed and two wounded. The week before il couple of Yugoslav soldiers came stalking into our zone at night. Our border guards shot them dead. The 88th of late has not been asking questions at night. Last April, It, Fred T. Rizzo and Pfc. Terry Ray approached the railroad crossing on the Trieste highway, will within the United States occupied zone.
 Three armed civilians dropped the crossing gate against the Am erican jeep, tossed the two surprised Americans out on the highway and rode of in their jeep. Maj Gen. Bryant E. Moore commands the 88th and such incidents raise his temperature considerably beyond a boil Thereafter no American ve- hicle was permitted on the roads at night unless at least one occupant was an armed guard Moore also instructed his troops to crack down on night providers. To crack down in this part of the world usually means to shoot. :.@-
 Artillery Super
 Shooting is about the best thing the 88th does-target practice shooting, that is. Attached to this infantry division are some heavy guns, just as big as can be moved through mountainous country.
 When the 88th Artillery goes out on the practise range, all hands are invited to witness the performances, especially the officers of Marshal Tto's army who guard the other side of the Morgan line. The 88th artillery pretty near can shoot flies off billiard balls and the eyes of the observers pop when the heavies do their stuff.
 The 88th took over here last October. It is a snappy, drill-parade outfit which salutes sharply and there is no grousing to speak of either. In fact, the Yugslavs have been so ornery on occasion that the morale of our division is simply tops They know why they are here and anytime the Yugoslavs want trouble collectively or singly they can have it by applying to the young men of the 88th.
 The incessant uproar here, the occasional hand grenades tossed at Americans, the riots in Trieste and the once-in-a awhile shooting of oul soldiers has maintained the 18th as fighting outfit. General Moore puts it this way:
 The division is fit to fight. We are operationally effective and we shall continue that way

The kids said
 "No!" the city said "Yes!" And the City of Chicago won the argument. These three youngsters, Mary O'Neill, 10, barDara Sable, 4, and Vincent Aruro, ,, left to right), didn't want a street car track laid past their homes.
 So they staged a sit-down strike right across
 the
 proposed right-of-way.
 But city officials ruled the traction company could put in their

 the kids would have to get out of the way.
