We've Got to Hurry is Spirit
of Men Supplying Invasion Force
By DOM SUTTON
Editor of NEA Service

LONDON, Aug. 9 - If you're
seeking signs and portents Of a
Second Front, you don't have to
look farther than that all-im-
portant "one-third of the u. S.
Army" which is the Services of
Supply.
1t is safe to say that more
than half the thoughts and ener-
gies of the hard-driving officers
and men of "SOS" in this the
alter are devoted not to the i'm
mediate task of keeping house"
for the swiftly expanding A.E.F.
in Britain, but to the even more
tremendous job of preparing
supply lines for a Europe-bound
invasion force.
TASK is ALMOST
UNPRECEDENTED
Thanks, but we just dropped
in for a moment and now we've
got TO hurry on" is the attitude
which British liaison officers
have learned to expect from the
chiefs of the vital supply branch
of our army.
While details of these prepare
tions naturally cannot be re-
vealed, it is safe to say that
SOS is viewing the possibility of
such full-scale invasion at
tempt with a stern realization of
the tremendous hazards involved
and with full appreciation of the
almost militarily unprecedented
task of supplying cross-sea
drive against an enemy power
fully entrenched on the opposite
shores.
For it can't be easy. Let's, for
instance, narrow down the
problems which such an over
water campaign would place
upon just one of the many SOS
branches+the Medical Corps.
First, stretcher units and am
bulance units must be organized
and equipped; then transported
directly to the scenes of action
and properly dispersed.
The daily monitor leader. [volume] (Mount Clemens, Mich.) 1942-19??, 1942-08-06

boys food would have TO be
imported.
Other more trying problems
have confronted SOS. however,
and are being conquered. Port
facilities must be expanded. Be-
cause the Signal Corps wireless
equipment is not adapted to the
electric current in Britain. trans
formers and even genu 'ators
have had TO be rugged up. Re-
pair facilities for bomb or shell
damage to American equipment
must be provided for. Port facil-
tiles must be expanded.
Then there is the problem of
providing storage space-muni-

penters and the plumbers, the
telephone linernen and the radio
operators for His Majesty, John
@. Doughboy. In a modern war
of movement, SOS goes into the
front lines with the combat
troops-indeed, as in the case
of the engineers, 1t may move
AHEAD of the fighting men.
But even without a Second
Front to think about, SOS has a
whale of a job right in the
British Isles. First, there's the
unloading of new contingents of
troops. Each soldier lands carry
ing his own full equipment--hel-
met, kit, gas mask, extra uni
forms, bedding roll, etc.-so that
he is pretty well ready to move
right in to whatever temporary
or permanent quarters SOS has
arranged for him. But sos
transportation branch must see
to it that these debarkations are
accomplished speedily and eff
ficiently.
There always must be close CO.
operation between the transpor-
tation branch and the quarter
master corps (both SOS) SO that
food will be at the right place
at the right time and in the
must be made to house these
troops in a country whose hous-
ing facilities, never over-great,
now have been further eurtailed
by bombings and by the diff
ficulty of obtaining building ma
terials.

ally good and, with distance
short and trains fast and the

entirely adequate to the present
needs of the A.E.F.
In a land which. before the
war, is said to have fed itself
only two days out of seven, the
U. S. quartermasters have found
the domestic food situation now
so improved that approximately
25 per cent of the American
army's rations can be obtained
in the British market; it pre-
viously had been thought that

Fleets OF hospital boats must
be made ready to bring the cas-
ualties back across the Channel
or the North Sea to Britain.
(This, Of course, is merely one
of the many phases of the ship
ping problem which Is all-vital
to the success of an invasion at
tempt).
OPERATION is
ALL-AMERICAN
Evacuation hospitals must
have been established behind the
British seaports to receive and
Immediately treat the critically
wounded.
Base hospitals must have
been established farther inland
for the treatment of the less
seriously injured and for con-
valesc, nts.
And large, ocean-going hos
pital ships must be equipped to
carry home those men who are
deemed unfit for q return to the
ranks within $50 days.
This, mind you, is an all
American operation. For on the
medical side, as in other phases
of this joint military adventure,
American officers have found
that Britain necessarily is &C.
cupied with the job of taking
care of it's own and its colonial
troops.
The Services of Supply are the

 Right here in America there's a social custom that ought to be put aside the way Britain is putting aside bread-and-butter plates.
 And it Is one that women could rule out themselves. In small towns and all but the largest cities 1t is customary for a prospective brides friends to give showers for her. It isn't at all unusual for a girl to have as many as six or eight showers given for her by friends who are anxious to see her well stocked with linens, dishes, lamps, and brio brac.
 The hardship isn't on the friend who gives the shower, or on the bride who has to exchange duplicate presents and find space in her clos cts for a pile of things she'll never use.
