THEY GO in tiny groups; a squad -or less, moving guards apart and sticking close to the hedgerows on either end of the field.

Our men were taught in training not to fire until they saw something to fire at. But that hasn’t worked in this country, because you see so little.

i= . USUALLY, WHEN the pressure gets on, the German defenders of ‘the hedgerow start pulling back. They'll take their heavier guns and most of the men Sack a couple of fields and start digging.in for a new ne. : They leave about two machineguns and a few riflemen scattered through the hedge, to do a lot of shooting and hold up the Americans as long as they can, Our men now sneak along the front side of the hedgerow, throwing grenadesyover onto the other side and spraying the hedges With their guns. The fighting is very close—only a few yards apart—but it is seldom actual hand-to-hand stuff. Sometimes the remaining Germans come out of their holes with their hands up. Sometimes they try to run for it and are mowed down. Sometimes they won't come out at all, and a hand grenade, thrown into their hole, finishes them off. And so we've taken another hedgerow and are ready to start on the one beyond. This hedgerow business is a series of little skirmishes like that clear across the front, thousands and thousands of little skirmishes. No single one of them is very big. But add them all up over the days and weeks and you've got a man-sized war, with thousands on both sides being killed.

Again we find 8 situation where airpower was employed with devastating effect, but not sufficiently, The Japs got the jump on us at Pearl Harbor but after that we find no evidence that Jap leaders believed airpower would be the determining factor of this war.

My Day

HYDE PARK, Thursday.—A rather interesting suggestion has been sent me which concerns the wives of servicemen going to visit their husbands in crowded areas, The person writing me says that too often people do not carry adequate identification with them, ws and this leads to many difficulties. ; For instance, my correspondent says that’ wives of servicemen might be picked up by the police, ~and if they have no means of identification they might find themselves in difficult situations. Besides, in cases of illness or accident or financial distress, or ‘even if they were looking for a job,~some form of identification must be produced, - .

The Japs failed dismally because they did not see their mandated islands as unsinkable aircraft carriers and they neglected to equip those islands with suffi-| cient airpower. | Our navy plunged ahead and took one Jap “unsinkafle aircraft carrier” after another, thus temporarily upsetting an accepted axiom that carriers could not operate successfully against shore-based | air forces. To accomplish this, our navy put enough planes into the air to smother completely the Jap air resistance. . Some long time ago, we forecast that our navy would drive toward Formosa and thus sever Jap sea communication between production centers in the homeland andethe newly conquered empire to the south.
