WARNING TO DUTCH GIRLS

U.S. Soldiers Not Wanted As Friends (Rec. 11.30 p.m.) NEW YORK, Dec. 13. Posters warning that Dutch girls who consort with United States troops will have their heads shaved, have, appeared in Holland. A correspondent of The Chicago Sun at Maastricht says an

American civil affairs officer tore down one poster, but it was replaced overnight. The first posters appeared on September 14, when Maastricht was captured. Since then they have appeared in most of the liberated areas of Holland. A Dutch liaison officer with the United States forces said the people are exhorted daily from the pulpit to keep their daughters away from soldiers. One American soldier told the correspondent: “It is apparently all right for Americans to die to liberate Holland but they must not be treated as friends.” OBSERVATION TOWER HIT BY NEW ZEALANDER LONDON, December 12. A direct hit with two bombs was made by Flight Lieutenant James Cullen, D.F.C., of Waihi, on a tower southeast of Nijmegen used by the Germans for observation. Flight Lieutenant Cullen, who was flying a Typhoon, said: “The building fell apart and was completely destroyed.”
