March 29. A new product of Teutonic ingenuity, a small but deadly land mine which cannot be located by detection instruments, has appeared on the Italian front to impose one more problem for the American ground forces battling there. Lt. Col. Alfred K. du Moulin, back from observation duty with the I’hirty-fourtb Infantry, told of the nine in a report today to Lt. Gen. ■icsley J. McNair, commanding genial of A i my ground forces. Known as the “wooden shoe mine,” he anti-personnel device is made of dywood or plastic and is called “the vorst curse” of all the enemy’s •veapous. Until the non-metallic nine appeared engineers and infanty moving out in the wake of rereating enemy forces could locate juried explosives with detectors actuated by a magnetic current. The new mine Du Moulin reports, “looks like and innocent bar of soap, nit has enough TNT in it to blow off a man’s foot when stepped on.” A kettle-shaped, portable pillbox “Is one of the most astonishing licenses tne Germans have developed,” :lie observer said. Although it ia about five feet in diameter and six eet high, only the six-inch concrete lome and machine gun snout are visble when the pillbox is sunk into place. Camouflage makes it all but ndistinguishable beyond ten yards. I’he pillbox is equiped with a bellows o cool the gun and the two-mun •rew is kept warm by a small stove.

CHRIST SHED HIS BLOOD FOR US. Blood was shed in the settlement of America to find here a land where peoples of the earth could escape oppression, expand freely, and worship as they chose. Blood was shed to make the United States victorious in every conflict in which she has engaged to establish the principles of freedom. America is fighting for the same four freedoms now and she depends on her loyal sons and daughters to give their blood to maintain, for future generations the “bill of rights the heritage of their valiant forebearers. With millions of men and women in the armed services here and on eighty battle fronts, ready and willing to shed their blood ~ surely, those of us at home, are willing to give of our blood that some of them, that will have died,
may live.

WHAT DID YOU DO TODAY, MY FRIEND?
Lieutenant Dean Shalain, tank commander, wrote this poem on the battlefield of Africa. He amputated his own foot with a jackknife and thought he was dying when he wrote this poem. He was rescued by Americans after about two hours of hiding and is now in a hospital in England. What did you do today, my Friend, From morn until dark? How many times did you complain The rationing is too tight? When are you going to start to do All of the things you say? A soldier would like to know, my Friend, WHAT DID YOU DO TODAY?
We met the enemy today And took the town by storm, Happy reading it will make For you tomorrow morn. You’ll read with satisfaction The brief communique, We fought, but are you fighting? WHAT DID YOU DO TODAY?
My gunner died in my arms today I feel his warm blood yet; . Your neighbor’s dying boy gave out A scream I can’t forget. On my right a tank was hit; A flash and then a fire; The stench of burning flesh Still rises from the oyre.
What did you do today, my Friend, To help us with the task? Did you work harder and longer for less, Or is that too much to ask? What right have I to ask you this You probably will say; Maybe now you will understand - - - YOU SEE, I DIED TODAY.
