Guinea Pigs unit test in Italy earns praise at Volturno

The Guinea Pigs, an infantry unit of Japanese descent from Hawaii, fought their first active combat along the Volturno front. Witnesses praised their courage in heavy mountains fighting north of Iayento, relieving trapped positions and taking a fortified village despite intense German artillery and machine gun fire. Individuals praised include Private Takeshige and Sergeant Lakimi for resilience, with several men wounded and one officer dead after guiding advances.

Mother's Day Appeal for War Relief Funds

A melodramatic plea urges readers to donate to the National War Fund and local welfare agencies. It describes a mother killed by a low flying plane, asks who will comfort and feed the child, and highlights support for visiting nurses, juvenile delinquency programs, and USO aid. The message urges united giving on three fronts home, military, and United Nations, doubling last year's contributions.
