For 30 hours the capital of Alsace, across the Rhine from Germany was held by the two Stars and Stripes sergeants and a company of military police.

They thought the troops needed the paper as well as the citizens of Strasbourg. For three days after their Staff reluctantly left the two terg eants painfully published the Stars and Stripes with the aid of three front-line reporters and a French linotype operator. It came out as one sheet, in Eng lish French and German and was the only news Strasbourg had. Electricity failed often during the night and it was S a. m. be fore the first issue was off the press. The boys slept a few hours and then distributed the paper throughout the eity. Because of that panic was prevented, ac cording to testimony of dozens of Strasbourg citizens. Took Flags Down "The worst moment for us," said Dallalre, "was the day we went around with the people of Strasbourg and helped them take down their French and American flags. We were so ashamed we couldn't look each other or the people in the face. And they were ashamed and un happy, too. After all, you can't blame them. Look at the way the Germans treated them when they were here. They knew what would happen If the Germans re turned. It would have been one of the greatest massacres of this war, and thats saying some thing." Sat. Victor Dallalre is the brother of Ray Dallalre.
