Commissioned nurses you Are informed your Pappy pondered this grave problem through Many a Bull session and almost exactly similar letters to the stars and stripes 1918 Vintage. When those of us More interested in winning the War and going Home whipped Jerry on november 11, the lovelorn were still pouring out their frustration via letters to the editor. Maybe in a wrong but i sorta a despairing Man May do a lot of damage before he finally goes Down. A a  of thousands of Axis troops have surrendered since or came to Africa. How Many Allied fives would have been lost had our enemies expected no mercy and in consequence fought till the last Man undoubtedly Many of those who advocate harsh treatment would now be dead had their policy been that of the Allied armies. And we learn from or ricers that they much prefer to surrender to and be prisoners of the americans than the others. Our reputation will save in. Many thousand More lives before this War is Over.

In my Humble opinion the russian Soldat who has done More fighting in the past thirty Days than we have in two years has this idea. I Blush at the comparison. It is my suggestion that those of us who have nothing More important to do than waste time in social activities and the ethics thereof be assigned both male and female All ranks and grades to the nearest labor battalion where their surplus Energy can be applied to winning the War. In lieu of above lets hire Dorothy Dix and Emily Post to pass on such grave and vital subjects. Sonny boy is unhappy and wants his nurse.

He said Quot we be put enough pressure Ort Rule Are emulators of Hitler who likewise thinks that he knows More than god. They Are helping a Ebbels to convince the germans that they had better fight to the last Man rather than surrender and expect Good treatment. They Are already helping to prepare a future War in which their own sons May be drafted by stirring up As much hatred and desire for revenge As possible. Fortunately the number of such is Small and Axis troops still prefer to surrender than to die fighting. A Chap. Henry d. Buchanan prisoners dear editor concerning the treatment of prisoners of War. The quicker we can get the enemy to surrender the fewer american lives will be lost and the sooner we can go Home. Getting an enemy to surrender Means to convince him that he will be better off that Way but a Man who expects death anyway is liable to fight to the last and a mail not airmail dear editor everyone seems to have a different idea on the question of a mail is air mail. Sometimes we All know. Regular air mail letters arrive sooner than a mail which is supposed to be quicker. I figure this May be due to the speedier handling of air mail from Distant Points in the states. But what i we ant to find out. And from some one who knows and has the authoritative information. Is a a does it do any Good for a Soldier in North Africa to put an air mail stamp on a a mail letter to the states will the letter still be photographed and if so. How will the Apo in the United states know it is supposed to go by air a this has been bothering me for a couple of months. I Hope you can help me. �?t-5 Edward i1ungerford any letter in  form will be photographed it even though you attach an air mail stamp delivery in the states is by regular . The Topes of conversation off gigs at a local prisoner of War Camp have really no tiling to do with their a Mai and italian i Harges. ,. Most of the lads in the administrative Section and in the stockade themselves have All seen Active service at the front. Many of them have been wounded or sick and Are now in a a limited services. These lads knew what its All about and Are particularly qualified to take Over the running of a prisoner of War ramp. But they do have their troubles especially when it comes to writing Home. One lad wrote a letter to his Gal and said that he was in a prisoner of War Camp. Came the answer a of Darling How dreadful. Are they treating you  and pvt. Marlin Cohen of Brooklyn is1 still laughing Over the Day he was ? walking non Al Antly through the Camp Reading the stars and stripes a a when he noticed the prisoners stopping their work to stare at the Back of the Page. Turning the paper around he saw a cartoon of that Hitler Guy that was anything but flattering. ,. These germans were having difficulty in understanding what it was All about. Each stockade is under the supervision of an officer and a sergeant who can speak the language of the prisoners. Stockade number three is a typical one. Here it. J. Powers new York City and sgt. Vincent Zito of Camden n. A. Hold Forth Ove a group of italian prisoners ,. A it real y Isnit a very hard  says the Sarge. A a the prisoners do All the work we just have to see that Gold bricking is kept to a minimum. There did no to seem to be much Gold bricking the Day we were there. A new orderly room was in the process of bang built and Nany of the prisoners were Busy doing that while others were getting scenery and costumes ready for their weekly show. A Happy go Lucky lot and glad the War was Over for them. T traditional a my bad Lings o it from him. But they get the Gate.

Jeep addict the general rides around the front a great Deal. During this North Sicily Campaign he has averaged five hours a by in his jeep and sometimes runs it up to eight. He laughs and says jeep Riding is Good for the liver. A few times he has used planes. He Hopes soon to have a Small plane of his own that will land practically anywhere As it would save him hours each Day. On the front bumper of the general a jeep is the. Red and White plate of three stars and of course this draws the salutes off every officer and Soldier who is on his toes. In heavy traffic the general is returning salutes constantly.
