Sergeant Borth, an M.P., was in charge of security. The Major set out at once to win the confidence of the citizens and promised to replace the town bell which the Germans had taken. General Marvin, chief of American forces in that section, was delayed at the outskirts of Adano, by a cart driven by Errante Daetano. The General ordered the cart thrown off the road and the mule shot. He then ordered Major Joppolo to see that all carts were kept out of the city in the future. The orders were issued against the wishes and better Judgment of the Major. o W. N.O. FXATURIA I order you, on my authority, to out.
