Mac, first I gotta get ‘there, and before I can make it, I gotta job| here. : “All I'm thinkin’ is gettin’ this {war over, and it | {looks like it'll 5 | never end.” X There, in a few words, is the re{action of the vast |majority of sol|diers to the ques[tion that has the home folks agog | | —what to do with the G. 1's when {they return, Last summer Mr. Bell 'and fall, soldiers listened to over-| optimistic brethren and were con{vinced that it was almost over, | As the autumn vu | gradually realized that it had been | a sad dream, they were plunged into the blackest despair. |- And when the Germans hit us in the Ardennes last winter, the Amer- | jcan soldier went grimly to work, | | resigned a new slogan: “This damn war's never gonna end.” One Big Question That feeling has changed little despite the dramatic successes east of the Rhine. | From D-day until April 1 the United States had 473,215 European theaten casualties—including 80,000 killed and not including thousands who had died or were incapacitated by illness. Casualty. figures from the Pacific are read here, and nobody sees a short war there after this is over. Just now every officer and man is sweating out the big question:! “Will I be left in this damned army of occupation or be sent to the hell-holes in China and the Pacific?” Nobody expresses optimism of getting out, although some hope they will get 30-day home leaves before going against the Japs. But the soldier isn't interested in his post-war prospects just now. Absolved by Routine It is impossible to look forward when you've got to look -mighty careful or get your.'ears shot off. Nor can you think of the old job when you've a convoy of trucks to load every day, roads to rebuild and bridges to repair. “I've been in the army four years, two over here,” said a young lieutenant, grown older and quiet

“This is the best job I ever had,” |

said a first liutenant, “and I don't expect one so good when I'm dis-

period when a few million of us; soldiers will be out of luck. So I'm | saving every cent I can and my |

wife's working, and banking her allotment. We figure we'll need it.”

Perhaps too few are figuring so

don’t criticize them because it's just what they'll need.
