|U. S. SOLDIERS FIGHT JUNGLE

Troops in Panama Setting Up Defense Posts

For Canal.

By NAT A. BARROWS

SOMEWHERE IN THE PANAMA

sloshed ‘through jungle mud and fought your way, cascading sweat from every pore, among steaming, incredibly tangled mountain trails in the hot countries, you can’t appreciate fully just what our soldiers have accomplished in setting up gun batteries and searchlight positions on these hilltops of the Panama Canal defense area. The United States Army has never before done anything like it —anywhere. It is a story that will live as long as American soldiers

Built Own Homes

They've built their own homes and set up their own life amid conditions utterly foreign to white men. They've dragged their guns and searchlights and heavy equipment up mountain’ trails that left me panting and gasping—with only a water canteen to carry. I've seen huge ‘army searchligiits operating atop a hill so inaccessible and so steep that I marveled how even a panther or a bushmaster

Only an X-Mark

They started out with nothing more than an X-mark on a map. Somewhere in that general area was the spot desired for an outpost against enemy planes. First came .the survey party seeking the most suitable hilltop. Hacking their way foot by foot with machetes, they pushed through the tropical wilderness. Hitherto, only wild beasts and deadly reptiles had roaméd that region of the great shadows. ‘The actual job of getting their fighting equipment up those trails is best explained, I think, by the motto that the men of the Atlantic brigade of the P. C. A. C. have adopted: “Whatever the task.” Yes, no matter what the task, the job will be done. No matter how hard it is, American coast artillery somehow or other will see it through.
