Overseas voting tear editor there seems to be opposition fifi soldiers and sailors to vote by mail in 44, even though they Are not registered in their Home states. One argument is that the Bill is unconstitutional in that it interferes with states rights to determine the voting qualifications of its citizens. Now in t the fact that these quibbling states found it constitutional to Send Weir men overseas qualification enough to Grant them their vote its no use dear editor a  to hts . T i fat All these Well meaning democratic dog faces quit beating their Gums about the whole affair surely most of us Haye been in this army Long enough to know who is going to do As they please it and it ainu to you Doggie As for the female Soldier in her Choice can we blame her if she showers her charms on some one who can offer a few simple things like transportation and a Ether talk. The Oran edition of the american expeditionary station  formally opened last night the a ceremony resplendent with High Militan officials radio men and a comedian named a1 Julson. Tie commanding general and the naval Commodore of this area were there wih their staffs. A1 Jol son   by songwriter Harry Aisil of Quot Dir a Quot Fame. In his dedication address the commanding general exp tel sed his satisfaction Over the new radio station and the pleasure it would give to troops stationed in this area. A Cor rat plated special service on the Job they had done and on thet initiative saying Quot Yuvi to Mil. Pass the Buck and pass the a munition. Too Quot a Futua r ,.

What did he say Quot demanded Jolson. Quot just some i  about a  quipped the Captain. After the ceremonies Jolson went of to a nearby Hospital to i certain troops there. He will remain in this area for some time. Decent place to go for entertain  ment this ainu to you either dog hither of of Yogi. Shomier argument some states do not permit Absentee voting at any time. Perhaps these states would like the War department to yank the men out of the front lines in order to comply with the Petty wishes of a state who wont let a Man vote until he is exposed to a Brand of political philosophy on the Home grounds. States that do not permit absentees voting Only flaunt a fear that its absentees do not know what the political score is in their Home state. And As to the puerile argument that a Large number of men inducted before the age of 21 never veg Steved and would be barred from voting is hog Wash too. If the men blacklisted due to circumstances beyond their control Are old enough to fight for their country they certainly should have a voice in the management of it. A sgt David p. Thomas in Sicily it. Gen. Nelson Bradley is 50 years old. He is married and has one daughter who is the Apple of his Eye. Mrs. Bradley is living in West Point for the duration As Are the wives i several other generals in this area. Their daughter Elizabeth who is 19, will be a senior at Vassar this fall. Its Only 30 Miles from West Point hence she can be with her Mother on weekends. Each of them write to the general about three times a week so on the average he gets about one letter a Day from. Home. They usually write a letters. He usually writes about twice a week although during hard campaigns two and three weeks sometimes get by without his having Tine to write. When he does write he pecks out his letters on a portable typewriter in a very proficient two Finger system us Finfer at Vassar Elizabeth is majoring in French at Vassar. And this summer had the ecstatic experience of talking to Gen. Henri Giraud in his own language anti asking him about her father who Giraud had seen just before leaving Anca. Gen. Bradley incidentally does t speak any foreign language. The whole Bradley family is devout in its esteem of Gen. George Marshall. When Gen. Bradley got his third Star Elizabeth wrote him a letter of congratulations and said general i the world next to Gen.  _ Gen. Bradley is a tall Man who seems thin although he weighs 182 pounds. His legs Are Long Aid he is a terrific Walker. Recently Hanson Baldwin wrote a piece about him in the new York times which mrs. Bradley wrote her husband  an  piece except he called you medium height which made me furious. Actually the general is just half an Inch under six feet in his socks the general is deeply tanned lie is balding or top and the rest of his hair is Short and speckled with Gray his head flares out above the ears More than the average Many a giving him a dome and an air of erudite Ness. He wears fait by tinted Tortoise Shell glasses. It could be toying with the truth to Call him handsome. Instead of Good la oks Hie face shows the kindness and calmness that lies behind it. To me Gen. Bradley looks like a school teacher rather than a Soldier. When i told him that he said i  t so far wrong because his father  a country school teacher and he himself had a taught at. West Point and other places. His specially  mathematics. Does no to smoke the general does no to smoke at All. He takes his cig Aret rations and gives them away. He drinks and swears in great moderation. There is no vulgarity m this a a a a simple Soldaty note to love sick dear editor to our Ive sick writers who worry More about whether they can Date nurses and Waco a i have this co say we Are fighting a War i think. In fact the greatest War this country of ours has Ever been involved in. Lets get in the game that 4s far More important than your Oates. If  anything on the Ball the dates will take a Are of themselves no matter what the Rule is sgt Fred e. Kurth restaurant trick dear editor while in Oran having supper in one of the restaurants i saw something that i Hope is not a be coming a custom among american soldiers. Twice in successive evenings i saw a Soldier sit at a table where other soldiers were eating eat and walk away without pay tog one  a pfc. And the other a amps a t-4 so they will know who i mean if they read this. The innocent soldiers at the table either have to pay for some Soldier s meal or try to explain the situation to the manager. Either Way they lose either some francs or the prestige that the american uniform carries. If a Man gets in town without Money he1 can probably get some at the red Cross if he does no to i11? a they Llerve he  take it mice is buddies of a Une civilians that a a trick Worth of our enemies. A Maas n. Jasuja matter of right dear editor enlisted men should be permitted to Date nurses. Not merely because we enlisted men Are asking for it but because it is right. Laws and regulations Are made to protect the weak not the Strong Arentt it Fries intelligent enough to choose whom they shall Date then Why the regulation English nurses who Wear pips and crowns May Date enlisted men. Arentt of flyers Clever enough to get a Date go Vui us without hiding behind some out a Moded regulation officers whom i have heard express themselves on the subject do not favor the regulation. If officers nurses and enlisted of men Are against it then Why not do away with it it of Robert l. Dew the nearest thin to a Hollywood set around Here is that set up of a  outfit.
