It's strange how memories of
peacet me life influence these
makeshift homes. If a soldier has
fixed himself a dugout or. an aban-
doned house, and has cleaned it
up and made it look presentable,
his visitors instinetively feel that
this is mans house, and he is
its head. They use his Grafton can

the floor.
But no matter how. much time

"Grimly, yet with confidence in

had wooden floors and real rugs
and charcoal stoves made from
German gas cans and the flexible
tubing that had been used to wa
terproof vehicles for the landing.
Old brass from shells made good
stove parts, and the thick card
board shell cases were used to line
walls and to make "sidewalks''
through the mud.
All the dugouts were sunk deep
in the sandy. damp ground, and
had thick roofs. made of layers OF
logs and planks and dirt. That
made them almost unVulnerable to
shells.
The Germans must be given
credit for rigging up some very
fine dwelling places. They had the
advantage Of time. Their dugouts
at Casino were fantastic. One was
so deep that it's roof, almost flush
with the surface of the ground,
consisted of 4-foot layer of dirt
and rocks on top, then a section
of railroad ties, a thinner layer OF
stones, layer of crisscrossed steel
rails, and beneath that a ceiling
of more thick wooden. ties.
Its roof indicated that many OF
our shells and bombs registered di-
rect hits on it, yet 1 doubt if the
explosions even disturbed the sleep
of the, occupants. The walls were
lined withrreaI plywood, nicely it,
ted, and they were springed. hunks
which folded into9the wall. There
was a. radio, too. and number
of German magazines. 1t was easy
to see how the krauts were able

tb) II we give Russia the

THIS argument goes into the
Il situation over the separation
of troops, which is extraordi-
narily slow. The argument is
that IL the army is 10 be de-
modified quickly. the Russians
won't be afraid OF us and there
fore will make war on us, and
that argument Is used in spite
OF the amazing spectacle of our
ability 10 raise an armed force
OF 100000 and TO create a
wartime industrial establish
ment that defeated the Germans
and Japanese--the latter prac-
tically single handed.
So those who are terribly
hysterical say that the Russians

and blow us TO hell, ignoring
the fact that this country will
have a couple of buttons OF its
own. and that as Things stand

that as another war Is around

(b) Give the b o m b TO the
world so that no one will use il

Both arguments assume that
another war is in the offing. AS
only Soviet Russia is physically
capable of making war on US. IL
is apparent that our nerves are
