The trees and the growth have been blasted right down to the shellcratered ground. “We finally ran the little devils out of here this week,” the general says. - ‘ : Three to a Jeep tNow you meet the first traffic coming from the other way—the American wounded. ‘There usually are three boys to a topless jeep, on stretchers laid c¢rossways—one across the hood and twa across the back seat. Some of the wounded boys are unconscious, but most of them are smoking quietly. There is no moaning or complaining. The jeep enters a long bend in the trail toward the right. Now you are in Huggins—with the American army in the field! : More will be heard about Huggins when the war is over and the 32d division goes home to the Midwestern states, These boys went through the night in the open or in halfshelters or thatches or anything they could crawl behind or under. And here they are by the hundreds, wearing jungle green uniforms.” You stroll up the road toward the front with Frank Hewlett, United Press correspondent. Suddenly a sentry yells: | “Hey, whgfe are you guys going? Right over the Japs? “No,” Hewlett says, “we're just trying to get up to the front.”

‘You've Found It’

“Well, you've found it,” the sentry says. “Now high-tail it to the rear because we’re going to open up on those guys with mortars back there and you might get your ears knocked off by a short burst.” The mortars start firing and you

{start back. The Japanese reply to

the mortars with machine gun fire and you suddenly feel real enthusiasm for following the sentry’s suggestion. An Australian Wirraway plane circles over the target, radioing the range and the results of the firing to the mortar crews. The mortar fire contintes for a hajf-hout and then suddenly ceases. o the.

gunner, “It was under two feet of water anyway. Say, look!" You look, and what you see is a sky full of trees, branches, logs and a great spout of water and you imagine you can see Japanese going end over end.

No Grief for Japs

The boy from Montana still stands in the road, his arm falling regularly every 30 seconds. You wonder how many Japanese lives come to a sudden end every time he swings that green helmet down ward. If you should feel sorry momentarily for the Japanese, you look across the road and see an American cemetery started a few days ago and still being filled. “Whoomps!” goes the last salvo. Suddenly you notice in the strange

silence that the Japanese machine

But one Jap with a hidden machine gun raised himself from among the corpses and let them have it head on.” A field telephone rings. ’ “No opposition, no enemy fire," the message says. “Forward position now reports Infantry is traversing the preimeter.” . - It's all over. Going back you think of the wounded riding on bouncing jeeps, of the boys walking along with temporary patches on their faces and their eyes glazed with fever and of the box wood crosses in the cemetery up toward Huggins.
