(Continued From Page 1) ’ troops poured ashore at a northern - Ireland |>ort day after day, while ! dock workers unloaded their sup I ply ships, until the disembarkation I wax completed yesterday and the news was released. The troops had come to strength- * en those already In the British Isles, and they had not the slightest doubt that at the time appointed they would Join In a United Nations offensive on the continent of Europe, forming a bridgehead from which United Nations forces. with the aid of conquered peoples, would start to sweep Hitler's armies back into Germany. The landing »•».* a result of the promise of Gen. George C. Marshall. United Blates army chief of staff, on his visit here a month ago that a steady flow of men and material would be sent to fight the war "to early victory." It lent emphasis also to Marshall's statement that American troops would be operating against the enemy In the very near future. As fast ax the men landed they were hustled off to their training stations. Equipment was put in operation as fast as It was landed The Irish countryside echoed with the tramp of soldier feat, the rumble of trucks and the clank of tanks In addition to the armored units there are cxmsldcrable numbers of mobile anti-tank guns. The first arrivals Were led by a 59years»ld commander from New York, a shott. gray haired veteran who came up from the ranks to ix-come a specialist In field artillery.

Routh Dakota. lowa. Minnesota and other middle western states. As the troops came ashore they swarmed to a British canteen, where they were served black coffee. pork and beans and sand wk-hen. Gulping their food they began kicking the sea kinks out of their cramped legs. Americans already here hurried to greet the new arrivals, among whom many found <>id friends It wns like old home week for some of the mid west boys who had played football together and

A second and a third torpedo were dodged similarly. One narrowly missed the atern. while the I last glanced off the bow. and like the first, failed to explode.

Germany Complains Os U. S. Treatment ' — i Claims Internees Were Badly Treated i By United Press German complaints echoed through starving Europe today regarding the American treatment 1 of Nazi diplomats whom the United States interned at expensive, lux j urloux resorts after America entry inti, the war. They were accompnnled by dark predictions that such people as the Americans, who permitted the Axis envoys to come in contact with Jews and negroes, could hardly win the war. To match the revelations of American diplomats and newspaper correspondents for whom they unbeing exchanged, the Germans gave some revelations of their own. They said the United States was having numerous Interior difficul ties due to the frustration by the Axis <>f President Roosevelt's political, military and economic calculations. The president, they said, was playing a w liked game after "international Jewry mid his own vanity" had "drfVen him to aspirations to world dominance.” "During the internment Gennatt internees at Camp Upton, l-ong Island, were guarded by J*-ws , truriH|tortt«l in police cars and kept In cells with negroes.” said one dispatch. "Their fingerprints and photographs were taken ax If they had been common criminals." "What the homei-omers report about their treatment is additional proof of a feeling of weakness at Washltigon," said the Berlin Boer-xen-Zeltiing "Somebody who lx strong would never resolve to such meanness as asking pictures or asking for criminal records, or putting women and children in Jail or behind barbed wire with Jews and negroes as wardens."

to Germany. Hlnce last December, Germany had to give Italy a month's wheat supply. Otherwise. Italians wouldn't have had enough final to last until the new harvest. Italy also suffers an acute shortage of meat, which used to be Impound In large quantities from Argentina With the en-epflon of mutton, which may be eaten twice a week, other meats are permitted onlv for Ha’urday lapcheon and butchers frequently can’t supply this meager ration Poultry i» still available, but the price is SO ootrageou* the working classes can't afford it. Butter naturally Is disappearing because Italy's cattle are being killed faster than they are being produced Olivi oil. the fundamental fat of the Italian diet, is rationed far below what is needed. Before the war. Italy Imported a considerable part of Its olive oil from Greece With rmrdeiate rationing. Italy should be able now to make its own olive crop do. There also lx a potato shortage In Italy, because the Germans get a big part of the crop In part pay i meat for the Industrial articles they export to Daly A" for fruits and vegetables, • which now form one of the main sources of Italian civil food supplies, it wax estimated that Itall-tn shipments to Germany probably are not much more than 20 per- * < <-n! alxive peace time exports. Although Italy hax plenty of sugar. It is rationed, because the Axis uses sugar to make fuel alco- ' hoi to relieve the gasoline short-, age. The main difficulty of agriculture is the lack of imported fertilizers. Which must be used If Italy's old satin land is to produce good crops. Algerian and Moroccan potash once wax lm|H>rte<l In large quantities. It Is not available now. The worst sufferers are the urban working classes, who must live strictly on rations because they can't buy luxuries or trade on the black market, to which the middle and upper classes turn for relief The best off are the peasants. who raise their own food and keep plenty for themselves.
