Men and women in uniform have
seized upon the facilities of the
Public Library to continue their
habits OF reading and they report
to library officials that wartime has
created new and varied interests
along literary, chronological and
cultural lines. Cards are issued to
any one in the services who expects
to stay in Washington six weeks or
longer.
Recently a soldier who became
interested in the italian paintings
at the National Gallery came to the
art division for books and color
prints on Italian art. A Navy cap
tain came in to find out how to in
stall a canvas mural. A sailor bor-
rowed books on lettering. A wing
commander of the RAF came to
see the art room and to browse
among the pictures in the picture
collection. The chronological divi-
sion is pushed for books on airport
planning, construction and manage
ment, radio and boat building.

Tracer bullets of all sizes scoot
across intervening spaces between
two behemoths which are tanks, both
crews bent upon the rapid and ulti-
mate destruction of the other. Now
and then tracer hits the ground or
a heavily armored vehicle and, rico
chetting up, up, into the air looks for
all the world like a fiery-tailed comet
gone mad.
Foot troops try to follow up what
ever advantage their vehicles have
given them, if any. They are
knocked helter-skelter, torn to bits,
completely annihiliated by direct
hit by high-explosive shell-smoke,
dust, white clouds forming smoke
screen laid down by the artillery
farther back, firing, not by sight but
by location at place they can't see.
They fire over the heads of their
comrades. Their aim Is directed by
an observer we'll up by the battle or
in a small plane, the like of which
you could buy back home In quieter
times for as low as $500.

left are hulls Of vehicles of every

some still holding what was once a

dolph w. Acker recreated the scene
of battle fought land very bitterly
contested" for one of the numerous
passes in Northern Africa.
Sergt Acker is stationed there
with the Medical Corps.
The letter reads:
Can't tell you when, of course, but
I passed through battlefield which
was fought-and very bitterly con-
tested it was, too-around, in and
for one of the numerous passes in
Northern Africa I must speak in
generalities to tell you some of the
things I saw.
The first thing I felt forcibly was
the utter incongruity of this whole
thing. The complete but extreme
ruggedness of the beauty of this
country-spring flowers, crops, trees,
palms, date and banana, almond
trees, some of which are still in
locomotive trees stretching some-
times as far as the eye can see,
colorfully garbed Arabs and their

tents, all blended together in har-
monious riot, somewhat like rain
bow which had become too tired to
stretch itself across the sky and had
chosen this particular area to lie
down.
Sunsets are glorious in truly
magnificent setting of azure sky
dotted with fluffy white clouds. Ring
this scene with mountains, massive
and rugged, but not high.
War Breaks In.
Into all this, which fairly cries
aloud of peace and happiness for
the inhabitants therein, inject war,
suddenly, harshly, without decent
thought, without rhyme or reason.
War, not as our grandfathers knew
it, not as any of our predecessors
knew it, even though you go back
to Ghengis Khan or before. War
the modern way.
I didn't see the battle that took
place here but I've seen enough of
others to enable me to reconstruct
this one.
Where before was peace, quiet and
happiness there Is now utter and

From somewhere in North Africa

United States infantry, wrote the
following to his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Or .ndo F. Sykes, 4919 Forty

"I know you must have been
worse than frantic, but since the
African campaign ended there
hasn't been any outgoing mail from

am here is because your prayers
were answered-of that I'm con-
vinced, because I saw a miracle
happen.

of the fellow who was the bully Of
the town back there. The lion
like roar of the puny guy everyone
thought would be knocked over at
the first puff of wind ... The laugh,
not mirthful, of the adventurer who
is having good time, even though
the next bomb knock them all to the
ground and send sharp, ragged
pieces of white hot shrapnel whis-
Ting around their ears.
Tanks, planes, trucks, guns burn,
blazes leaping yards high, oil and
gas going up in black clouds. Men
scream trapped in burning vehicle
without a chance of being rescued.
Mines explode-blowing up vehicles
and men alike-they're so imper-
sonal.
1t is a cacophony of the worst in
sound, softly BASED by the muted
roar Of the intermingling voices of
men-no longer men but true beasts
all in their own way applauding or
weeping or praying, all intent on but
one thing-total despoilation Of the
