WNU Service Hungry Men at Vaucouleura Two men sat by a roadside In attl· t:o6Jes of deep de} ··lion. Tbe!r faces were white nod ,elr eyes haggard.

A mounted patrol of mllltary pollee ball passed that way n rhort tl$e before, 1 <It one keen glnnre at the t~·o men hn .1 !-ntlslled the po lice.

As long ns th• ~e men had their faces turned towtlfll the front, and as long as they behnn d themseh·e~. the police would not bother them. One of the men l1•••ked behind him. at the way the two had come. A white road, bnk!ng under th!' bot sun of early September, went up and down over the hills and so out of ~lght. He ·looked the other wuy, toward the op· posite hol"lzon. The roar! looped Its way, shimmering In the hpat. an equal distance. Between the two horizons were tree~. newly moweO fields, an!l clumps of bush, but no other llvln~ thing. "Sergeant," said the man, "you sure we're on tlie right road?" The other muu turned on his side to get his hand Into his breeches pocket. He bad a sergeant's s-tripes sewed rather askew on one sleeve, and a \"!lsty looking gold V on his right cuff sho'IHII thut he had been wounded In action. He drew out a crcnsed and dirty envelope and extracted a sbeet of thin paper therPfrom. ,..,'Sergeant Robert ~;udle," began the typewritten poper, "Base Hospital 23, Vlttel, Vmges. Dear sergeant: The regiment will be at Vaucouleurs until September 12. It Is boped that you can rejoin us there.'' There was an lndlstlngutshr.ble scrawl and the typewritten words, "Personal Ofllcer, Seventy-ninth F. A." On the strength of this thin E-t.eet of paper these two men hod tra'l"elerl across ~·ranee. :A 1'he sergeunt got stlffiy to his feet li'nd Inspected a milepost near where tbe two had sat down.

"Only about four miles more,'' said the sergeant com(ortlng-ly. He looked at his watch. "It's tweiYe o'clock.'' he addPd. ":\ow If we shoulrl hustl• e•·cn, we w.-uldn't get in In time for chow. \\'ell, thes'll ha'l"e s-omething they can gl\·e us for a handout. Let's litart out anyway." 'l'lle two started out. They went down the hills and clambered up the otl"ltlf side. The Jicat grew, nnd th!'J sa\'d'own often, for tliey were hot, they were thil·,ty, and tlieir new shoes hurt.
