(International) Checking Air force Officers in Link Trainers The spirit that won the Army A AIR FORCE OFFICER came in for his routine checkup and surprised to a Wac in charge of the Link Trainer.

"Why, that's no work for a woman!" he said. "I've trained for it, sir," the Wac answered with a smile. "And if I can't do it, I don't belong in this man's Army." This Wac spirit isn't just one of brag or pride in the Corps. It's a spirit of confidence. For the WAC hasn't been given jobs, it has won the right to do them.

When the WAC was first organized, there were only four jobs the Army thought women could handle. But the WAC rolled up its sleeves and showed the Army what women can do. Job by job, they demonstrated their aptitude, their earnestness, and courage. And the four jobs grew into 239. Today, wherever you find a Wac on the job, you find a job well done.

With the AEF in France, July 19 (Delayed) (AP)--That cozy little deserted inn in no-man's land, where German and American patrols took turns nibbling at a basement cache of hooch, has lost its role as the leading battlefront tavern. It is well within the American lines now, and the liquor supply is gone.

The situation came to the attention of staff officers when it was noted that one outpost patrol kept returning at night smelling llke something that obviously ie army, tne depart-1 nadn 't teen distilled from roses. i statement Sunday Tne were entirely too eager if such service units to SO out into the night on patrols. That alone was enough to make the commander suspicious of his merry men who always returned from this dangerous work in such high spirits. A check disclosed that they were the solitary American patrons of the French inn between the lines, whose owner fled so quickly that he had no time to hide the itanan war prisoners have come and wine stock.

There are 35,000 members of the units located at various stations throughout the country.

The Italian prisoners are investigated after they volunteer for non-combat war duty, and those with pro-fascist leanings are excluded, it was said.

All records will be subject to periodic inspections." Some classes of operators, such as local and over-the-road common- carriers, and the petroleum tank truck operators, now are required to file a monthly operating report.

The forms for these reports are mailed directly to the operators and are required to be filled and returned by the of the month after the month indicated on the face of the form. Mr. Barnard advised operators not to mail in monthly reports unless specifically requested to do so. "ODT Is trying to simplify the task of keeping all truck records," he said. Colecclieo.

He attended Berlin high school. came in to disturb them with a bill. A German patrol came across the inn, too and decided it was too good a thing to ruin. There never was any formal agreement between the two enemy patrols, but each managed discreetly to visit the inn so as never to surprise the other. Thus the battle frontline bar, which was in territory so hot neither side dared cross by daylight, became an oasis of peace and alcoholic plenty.

"The funny thing was that every other building in the area had been, knocked apart by shellfire" said. Maj. Asa Gardiner. Baltimore, Md. "Of course, we couldn't let a situation like, that go on.

We had to put aa end to it." So some trusted reconnaissance men--teetotallers--went one night to the inn and destroyed the bot- tjed liquor and opened the taps in tne wine casks. The popularity of the night patrol fell off at once. It didn't seem so much fun when one couldn't stop in for a nightcap before returning to a foxhole.
