By EUGENE BURNS ON THE WOMANLESS WAR FRONT, Andreanof Islands (P) The sergeant in the quonset hut remembered it had been just a year since he'd seen a woman. "Remember.

My dame and I had been stepping regular for seven years. She could seat it out that long, all right. But then I'm sent up here and bang, she marries a draft dodger. Don't worry, I wrote his draft board." You shouldn t have kept pecking at her. that long any way," somebody replied, but was ignorea. uet tnis, interrupted a cor poral. "McCoy's girt moves from Nebraska to Seattle so's to be on the west coast in case when he got a furlough. And now she writes that she's met the man of her dreams a sailor first class. 'That's better'n Cy," said an other. "He was pouring his heart out on a girl and went straight to her door when he got back to Portland last month. Who should he meet but her husband!" ' Shorty spoke up. "Yeah, but the husband throws a party next night and Cy gets him another and is engaged to her now." "He's a damn fool if he gave her a ring," said Silva. "I gave mine a big diamond, a marine grabbed her off. and now she won t give it back." Joe, who had been holding back until prompted, said, "My girl wants me to come to Louis ville to decide between me and another. Imagine asking the gen eral lor a furlough on that one?' mine writes -rake it easy witn tne Eskimos.' I haven't even seen one." "What we need is women," said Cy. "Yeah, suppose they do bring a shipload. Then what? The odds would be about a hundred to one and where would we get with out bars." One man had been fumbling in his barracks bag. He pulled out some letters. He said "I goes back to Sioux City and finds me a girl. Have her pick out a big ring worth sixty bucks the next day. She says she'll be true to me always and we'll get married on my next furlough." The letters were some that had been returned to him unopened. rney were marked un claimed."
