Telling the Editor (Continued from page two) ment has come now for the last of the 80-point and above men. While on the way through these different stages of redeployment records are checked to make sure each man has enough points, has been paid up to date, and that he has all the equipment charged out to him. With inflation uncontrolled all over Europe the urge to make a little easy money has made many sell their clothing, and anything else a hungry Frenchman wants to buy. a great many uuyo waui bring home their pets that they acquired in their travels through Europe. These range from dogs, cats, squirrels, mice, goats, birds to deer and donkeys. Some ports are sympathetic with animal lovers and look the other way when pets are brought on board, while other ports occasionally have chloroformed animals. One thing most GIs wish is that people at home would study up a little on the various ribbons and decorations and shoulder patches, so that the battle-scarred veteran wearing a purple heart, bronze star, and citations could be spared the agony of the question, “What did you do to win the war, bud?” About Army News PARIS, France—All through the war the men serving in the Euro pean Theater of Operations were kept in touch with the rest of the world through their own news paper, The Stars and Stripes. It brought the latest news each day to the GI, in England, on the beaches, and in the Siegfried line. The Stars and Stripes appeared in tabloid farm, beginning with four pages and later eight. Its front page usually was given to the European phase of the war, but the fight in the Pacific was never neglected. Pictures were flown from New York so that they would still be timely when appear ing overseas. The first edition of The Stars and Stripes was printed in New York and flown to troops in Green land, Iceland, and bases off the Atlantic coast. When American forces moved into England the first overseas Stars and Stripes went to press in London. Later other editions were printed in Africa, Naples, Rome, Rennes, Paris, FJancy, Strasbourg, Nice, Marseille’ Frankfurt, and Num burg. One of the greatest promems facing the Army Information and Education division, was the distri- j bution of the paper. The air forces I transported it to the most distant points, and from there it travelled by 40 et eight, truck, and some times by mule to reach the men. To put out a paper like the Stars and Stripes a network of informa tion sources was necessary. Most of the GIs assigned to the paper were formerly professonal news papermen. European news was gathered by a corps of corres pondents stationed with supreme headquarters, armies, and divi sions. News from America and the rest of the world came by wire from the Stars and Stripes U.S. bureau in New York. Facilities of the United Press were also util ized. One of the outstanding features of the Stars and Stripes was “The ‘B’ Bag.” He^e GIs could spill their gripes without fear of being punished. It is said that General EisenhdWer turned to “The ‘B’ Bag” before reading anything else in the paper. However, most GIs turn to page seven first to see what is happening to Dick Tracy, Terry, Skeezix, and Blondie. Bill Mauldin, has become famous be cause of his cartoon, “Willie and Joe,” which so accurately portray ed the life of the doughfoot. Un doubtedly the most popular feat ure ever to appear in the Stars and Stripes was the column of the beloved Ernie Pyle, who died with the fighting men he loved.
