INSTALLMENT xxx.

The japanese attack on Pearl Har-
bor this afternoon came as stunning
news to the men at Fort Bragg
There had been rumor, one day a
couple of months ago, that Germany
had declared war on the United
States to beat US to the draw, and
since it was merely rumor, there
was no confirmation or denial over
the radio all day long. That supposed
news back then had been taken with
philosophic shrug and the thought.
We'll, it's what we've been expect
Ing"
This today caused a different war
feeling. 1t was not what we had been
expecting. To the soldiers here,
whose only attention to the news
papers is quick glance at the head
lines, it was startling and dreadful.
The men who heard the news an
nouncement over the radio this aft
ernoon at the Service Club were, for
the most part, new to the Army, with
less than a month of training be-
hind them. Their first feeling of
outrage gave way to the awful fear
that they would be sent away, green
Snd unframed and helpless, within
a week.
The rumor mill began operation
Immediately. New York and Fort
Bragg will be bombed within the
month, the rumors said. Probably, by
that time, all of us will be in Hawaii
or Russia or Persia or Africa.
Green and unframed and helpless.
This business of teaching man for
l3 weeks in a replacement center
will be dispensed with, now that war
is upon us. You're civilian one day
and a rookie member of a seasoned
fighting outfit the next.
Except for a few for whom the
radio held terrible fascination, the
men thought first of communicating
with their families, their friends,
their sweethearts. They Immediately
went for writing materials and for
the two public telephones of the
club. Almost all of the 1000 men
of Fort Bragg were trying to reach
their homes through the eight trunk
lines which ran out of the pitifully
overburdened little telephone ex-
change in Fayetteville.
Miss Ethel Walker, who was acting
as senior hostess for the Replace
ment Center's Service Club, had
planned an entertainment program
for the evening, but when she looked
out at the tension in the social hall
she despaired. She telephoned her
boss. Maj. Herston M. Cooper, the
special services officer.

There's no use trying to put on
the show tonight" she said. Shall
I cancel it? And may turn OF the
