The next few days at the station were filled with the usual routine. I was assigned to a group due to go to London to a school, and I looked forward to that a good bit Orders came in at the last moment, and .1 had to''rush about getting ready to catch the train down. The trains were unusually crowded—most of the cars here are the compartment-car-riage type, although they do have a few of the type we are familiar with at home. Our train to London was jammed, and the aisles down the rides of the carriages were jammed, as well as the compartments—so much so that we overflowed into the lavatories at the ends of the carriages. There were four of us went together, and we almost rode in one another’s pockets. At every station a few more were packed on—you remember the subways in Manhattan during the rush hours, so you can picture what it was like —so darned intimate. We got in town, registered at, the school, and then had the rest of the eVfening to ourseives. I, stayed at the Imperial Hotel, on 1 Russell Square, a very old, Victorian house, quite huge and covered with the worst type of Victorian gingerbread, including a huge mosaic sundial on the front, surrounded by a host of terra cotta statues, gargoyles, wreaths of flowers, etc., and the top of the building surmounted with turrets, towers, etc., thexnain tower being topped within enormous gilded and decorated weathervane —it at least got me oriented as to north and south, quite a help since I’ve never been able to figure any direction of the compass out since I’ve been over here. Even the sun and the moon don’t seem to move in a straight line from east to west, but seems to be from northeast to northwest, so far as I can make out. After settling at the hotel, and trying out the luxurious bed (innerspring mattrefis and box springs, glory be), I went toward Leicester Square, and finally dropped in at a cinema—a very good film, British made, titled, “English Without Tears.” A comedy, and very well done—quite the best British job I’ve seen, at least for some time. The next A.M. I started to school —it was quite interesting, altho likte most schools, especially GI

ones, it had dull moments.

had a couple of very good lectures, one by Mr. Herbert Agar, author of “A Time for Greatness,” and assistant to our American ambassador, and another by Dr. May, of Yale, and of the International Institute of Human Relations. Both were absorbing lectures, and everyone enjoyed them, which is more than I can say for the greater part of the curriculum. The British girl who explained the language teaching systems, all based upon the Linguaphone system, did a very good job and entertained everyone with a skit showing an American GI, or Yank, lost in France, and asking his way of a French girl, the first part being before he took the language course, the second part after. She succeeded in making it funny, yet put het* point over. The second day of school, I was stuck with leading a trial or laboratory discu&ion group—a bad enough job with people you know, but worse when the group is strange, and composed of officers, first sergeants, tech sergeants, and yourself as the one and only staff sergeant. But I got through that all right. The night before Jack Scully had called me, being in town on a pass, and arranged to meet me for lunch. He belongs to the Churchill Club, and we ate there. It was quite an experience. The club was formed to foster better understanding and relations between the Allied Nations, and members of all forces belong and are guests, as well of course as native Britons. The club is in the old Abbey School, off the Little Dean’s Court of Westminster Abbey, and is beautifully furnished and decorated. One of the members of the board of directors is a director of the National Museum of Art, and he furnishes sets of fine paint- ■ ings to the club, changing them , periodically. There is also a fine ! library, as well as a lending library, and they even sell current • editions of the better books—l I bought Osbert Sitwell’s “An Open Door,” a quite good volume | of essays and short stories. There were uniforms of all countries, ! and of all grades and ranks, from i privates (in small numbers) to generals (more limited). The inbetween ranks were of course more cap-

Everyone was very democratic and friendly—just people— I started to say men, but there were some women, and very pleasant ones, too. After lunch I grabbed another cab back to school.
