j in the Cisterna sector. On their way
to a junction where a road blork was
to have been established, the assault
ing forces were dispersed by a heavy
concentration of “Kraut” artillery
fire, and the headquarters men found
themselves in a pocket far behind
the enemy lines, lost and without
contact with friendly troops.
The senior officer of the group, a
first lieutenant, organized his men.
They pushed on toward the objective
as a combat unit, annihilating ma
chine gun nests and mortar emplace
ments as they advanced.
They were hopelessly isolated as
dawn approached, far in advance of
their battalion and facing German
artillery fire at close range. They
dug in, intending to hide through the
day.
A large “Kraut” patrol passed by,
unsuspecting.
An Italian shepherd discovered
then in the afternoon, but kept their
secret.

for us to risk it,” Miller said “we !

tiously, they followed through a nar-
now defile leading toward the Am
erican lines.
“The ditch led us right up an op
en field covered by enemy machine
gun fire,” he continued, “and we had
to stay where we were until the
moon went down. It was after mid
night by then.”
The journey continued in three
groups, Miller now leading the sec
ond group, nine men. He and his men
crossed the open leld, circumvented
“Kraut” command posts betrayed by
the enemy.’s flashlights and voices,
made wide detours around a variety
of German strong points.
One of the men coughed as they
circled around a pill box, but a Ger
man sentry only 20 yards away
coughed art the same time, and their
•presence wasn’t suspected.
A German sentry challenged them.
The lieutenant in command shot the
sentry instantly.
They came to an extremely deep
ravine through which flowed a small
stream. Two of the men skidded
down the bank and followed the
creek downstream until they had
guided the others to a place where it
would be possible to cross.
At this point Miller and the others
lowered themselves into the abyss,
and a human ladder was formed for
ascent up the other side.
Once across, they were confident
they had reached American terri
tory. They were soon disillusioned
by a heavy volley of small arms fire
that drove them to cover and ac
counted for their only casualty.
Here a German machine gunner
prevented them from moving far
ther.
A corporal was sent forward a-
gainst the enemy that stood in their
path. He eliminated this last ob
srtacle and the little band of lost
men was enabled to continue to
where they had heard an American
machine gun chattering.
They called out to the gunner that
they were friendly troops and were
able to cross back into their own
territory.

day, occupied all the enemy terri

in recent years on improvements of
various sorts to the physical ‘prop

Judge Neal W. Workman said that
the demand for hospitalization in
this community had outgrown the
facilities of the hospital. He point
ed out that more people are seek
ing hospitalization in illness than
ever before due to hospital insur
ance and increased incomes. Judge
Workman praised the services. ren
dered patients by the hospital staff
and credited his recent recovery in
part bo the excellent care he receiv
ed at the hospital.
There were short talks by others,
all agreeing to the urgent need for
a larger hospital.
Judge Blease explained that the
discussion was for the purpose of
acquainting the group with the need
of a larger hospital so that agita
tion plight get under way against
bhe day the public would be called

ers to gather at Columbia. Many of
the farmers present made donatrone
to create a fund to set up state head
quarters and to carry on the state
wide campaign for members. The
amounts of the checks ranged from
a few dollars up to $100.
