Another view that should substantiate the report is thét the Italians were forced . soldiers at no time have shown high morale, even when they went forth to stab France inthe back. They fought half-heartediy | and were beaten back by the French in a series of clashes.

Shake your head, you damn buzzard! Ill make you talk, Taggard!” I felt sick at the tone in his voice. Sideways, I glanced at Taggard. Taggard knew where the location maps of his discovery were. He knew that once Johnson had them, he was going to die. He also knew that his daughter was in this house. I felt sorry for him. I couldn't help it. Mirtilo now entered the room He spoke in Spanish with John- son and then they pulled the gaz from Taggard’s lips. “Go on and talk!” Johnson s: “Yes, Senor,” Mirtilo urged. “I: is better so.
