The Germans have been using the rough terrain to advantage. They dig deep within the snow to hid their self-propelled pieces and hea machine guns. We watched from a road as American Thunderbolts almost scraping the mountain tops because of cloudy weather attacked a twomile stretch of road.west of Wiltz. This stretch had been particularly unlucky for the Germans. Earlier 300 troops had been spotted marching along it. American artillery wiped out almost the entire group. A little later Thunderbolts strafed and destroyed 20 German trucks.

Representatives of more than half a dozen social, civic and labor organizations are expected to appear before the house social security committee at 1:30 a. m. Tuesday. They will protest provisions of state and county welfare department reorganization bills placed before the house by Earl Teckemeyer (R. Indianapolis), chairman of the legislative welfare investigating committee. Mr. Teckemeyes's proposals call for abolitfon of the present fivestate welfare board, replacing it with a threemember, full-time board. This body would formulate policies and administer -them. Another measure would abolish all present county welfare boards, substituting new boards appointed by eircuit judges, county councils, county commissioners and township trustees. One compromise bill was introduced in the house yesterday by Elmer Weller (R. Dale) and Edward M. Woodard (R. Bloomingdale). This measure would appoint a new five-member state board, hike salaries from $300 to $1200 a year and delegate more responsibility to board members. Other alternative welfare bills are in the making.

Dec. 28 (Delayed) (U. P.).—American nurses and brown-skinned native women met for the first time
today on the white coral beach of this island in the western Carolines, and .like women the world over, immediately became interested -in-each others’ clothes: As the nurses, all from a nearby hospital ship, stepped from the landing craft, some of the native women got down on their hands and knees to inspect their white shoes. The nurses were equally as interested in the grass skirts of the native women and the blue tattooing on their arms and legs, but their inspection was a little more aloof. As a demonstration of their friendliness, the nurses presented the natives with a few articles of clothing, including a set of women's undergarments. One of the women seized a pair of pink panties and put them on immediately—over her head like a double-barrelled snood — but - she smiled disdainfully at the brassiere. “The nurses were the first white women ‘to visit the ‘island but ‘Spanish, German, Dutch and Japanese traders have come here for the ‘past 200 years, leaving evidence of their passing in the lighter complexioned Hatives that ‘road the
