That would paraphrase the sentiments of third officer Madeline Bushman special service officer Here. Seems that hardly a Day passes that she does no to aet at least 25 or 30 requests to have Waco a race some kind of a Soiree. They track Are Down at Midnight. Tiey phone half a dozen times to wheedle a a yes for one dance. There Are pleas for the entire company on no More than 24 hours notice. The orderly room can to get the phone to carry on its business. It would be a military secret even if we knew the proportion of Waco a to i s. But it s obvious that it is some Thina very minute says of. Bushman.

They Are just a Small group trying to be reasonably Bright at work the  Day. And believe my says it. Bushman. A iced like to dance and swim and picnic with every one of the soldiers.

Agues ter ska. Of ton receiving her summer in Sicily if there were Only impounded a Little More modernism and sanitation in Sicily i think a Good Many of us would sort of like the place. Actually most of us feel friendlier to the sicilians than we did to the French in Ortli Africa. And in comparison to the arabs Well there just in t any comparison. Nobody can deny that North Sicily is Beautiful. It is constantly mountainous. All but the highest mountains Are covered with Fields and Orchards and Many of the Hill ides Are terraced to prevent erosion. Everything is very old. And if it were Only clean As Well it would be old in a Nice and gentle Way. The North coast is in strange contrast to the South. On the South coast the towns Are much  Thier and the Jie Ople seem of a lower class. Coming from South to North there is a freshness about the country and Jie Ople both. The Macadam Road that follows the sea All the Way from Palermo to Messina is a Scenic one. I be heard a dozen soldiers say if you could Only follow this Road in peacetime it would be a Nice vacation  it a Kew Good roads Interior roads through the Mountain Are very few. And mostly gravel and quite rough. All through the Campaign our troops had to use mules to get their supplies up to them in tile mountains and there were times during Battle when men went without food or water for As much As 60 hours How they kept on going is beyond me but i be reached Hie Point where nothing the infantry does startles me anymore. The third division had than 500 mules at the end brought 30 Burros with them Africa on a Day but discovered the Burros  keep up with tile infantry so had to abandon them for stronger sicilian mules. Most of the mules were pretty poor and we lost a lot of them both by artillery fire and Plain old exhaustion. Toward the end of the Campaign the division got so it hauled the mules in two and one half ton trucks right up to the foot of the mountains so they could Start their pack journey All fresh. The american doughboy s fundamental hones y shows up come tunes in comical ways. All the ugly the Campaign various army Headquarters were flood d with sicilians bearing pencilled notes written on everything from toilet paper to backs of envelopes saying �?�1. O. U. For one mule taken for the u. S. Army on aug. 2. Signed pvt. Paul  actually tile appropriating of captured enemy equipment including mules for military purposes is legitimate and no restitution made but tile doughboy in their simplicity never thought of that. All captured Supply dumps Are More they from by the army for reissue later but our soldiers often get in and help themselves before the army gets there officially. For example at one time every Soldier you saw was carrying a packet of German bread a thin Brittle substance that resembles what we Call i get Crisp at Home. The soldiers seem to like it or maybe it was just the Novelly of the thing. The germans As usual were Well supplied and we Are now being served on Brand new German folding tables and the diners sit on individual unpainted German stools. Also you see quite a few officers sleeping on folded German steel cots with German Mosquito net framework. Speaking of mosquitoes the summer heat and sicilian Lack of sanitation has begun to take the toll. Diarrhoea is common there is a run of the same queer fever i had and a Good Many Are coming Down with malaria Iii fart the correspondents themselves dropped off like flies with malaria the last weeks of the Campaign. Usually Nev wont to hit army Hospital for a few Days until the attack passed and then returned to work. Our soldiers Are very careless about their eating and drinking but you can to blame them. One of the most touching sights to me is to see a column of sweat soaked soldiers hot and tired March into a Village and Stop for a rest. In a moment the natives Are out by the hundreds carrying water in their Glass pitchers in earthen jugs in pans in anything filling the boys empty canteens its Ria fictions to drink this water but when you re really thirsty you Aren t too particular. No fresh vegetables most of the time Over Here. I have approached native food and drink pretty much like a persnickety tourist in peacetime who avoids All possibility of contamination by Cating no fresh vegetables and being very cagey about his drinking water. But despite that i came Down with the fever and a couple of Days after getting Back to Normal i was hit with a a the g. I so or army diarrhoea. Half of our Camp had it at the same time. We All took Sulf Guanadine but still mine Hung on. Then i moved into the Field again w Ith the troops feeling like death and getting weaker by the moment. Then one Day we drove info a Mountain Village where americans Hadnot been before Aud the natives showered us we Ith grapes and figs and wine and hazelnuts and peaches and i finally said Oil to hell with it and started eating everything in sight without even washing it. And within two Days i Felt Fine again. Moral it worked once but its a bad habit and you better not try it. Mail Call three Gas Kaye give Lively show to that Glt neral.
