With Ernie Pyle in France Pyle Describes Some Of His Favorites In The Infantry By ERNIE PYLE ON THE WESTERN FRONT (By Wireless) The commander comman-der of the particular regiment of the 4th infantry division that we have been with Is one of my favorites. favor-ites. That's partly because he flatters flat-ters me by calling me "General," partly because Just looking at htm makes me chuckle to myself, and partly because I think he's a very fine soldier. Security forbids my giving his name. He Is a regular army colonel and he was overseas in the last war. His division commander com-mander says the only trouble with him is that he's too hold, and if he isn't careful he's liable to get clipped one of these days. He is rather unusual looking. There is something almost Mongolian Mongo-lian about his face. When cleaned clean-ed he could be a Cossack. When tired and dirty he could be a movie gangster. But either way, his eyes always twinkle. He has a facility for direct thought that Is unusual. He is lm-natient lm-natient of thlnkin? that rets off onto byways. He has a little habit of good-naturedly good-naturedly reprimanding people by cocking his head over to one side, getting his face below yours and saying something sharp, and then looking up at you with a quizzical smirk like a laughing cat. One day I heard him ask a battalion bat-talion commander what his position pos-ition was. The battalion comman-de comman-de started going into details of why his troops hadn't got as far as " he had hoped. The colonel cocked his head over, squinted up at the battalion commander, and said: "I didn't ask you that. I asked you where vou were." The colonel goes constantly from one battalion to another during battle, from early light till darkness. He wears a new-type field packet that fits him like a sack, and he carries a long stick that Teddy Roosevelt gave him. He keeps constantly prodding his commanders to push bard, not to let up, to keep driving and driving. He is impatient with commanders com-manders who lose the main point of course, being to kill Germans. His philosophy of war is expressed in the simple formula of "shoot the sonsabitches.'' Once I was at a battalion command com-mand post when we got word that 60 Germans were coming down the road in a counterattack. Everybody got excited. Th e y called the colonel on a field phone, gave him the details and asked him what to do. He had the solution solu-tion in a nutshell. He just said, "shoot the sonsabitches," sonsa-bitches," and hung up. XXX Another of my favorites is a sergeant who runs the colonel's regimental mess. He cooks some himself, but mostly he bosses the cooking. His name is Charles J. Murphy and his home is at (225 East State St.) Trenton, N. J Murph is redheaded, red-headed, but has his head nearly shaved like practically all the western front soldiers officers as well as men. Murph is funny but he seldom smiles. When I asked him what he did in civilian life, he thought a moment mo-ment and then said: "Well, I was a shyster. Guess you'd call me a kind of promoter. I always had the kind of job where you made $50 a week salary and 11500 on the side." How's that for an honest man? Murph and I got to talking about newspapermen one day. Murph said his grandfather was' a newspaperman. He retired in old age and lived in Murph's house "My grandfather went nuts reading newspapers," Murph said "It was a phobia with him. Every day he'd buy $1.50 worth of 3-cent 3-cent newspapers and then read them all night. "He wouldn't read the ads. He would just read the stories, looking look-ing for something to criticize He'd get fuming mad. "Lots of times when I was a kid he'd get me out of bed at 2 or 3 in the moring and point to some story in the paper and rave about reporters who didn't have sense enough to put a period at the end of a sentence." Murph and I agreed that it was fortunate his grandfather passed on before he got to reading my stuff, or he would doubtless have run amuck. Murph never smoked cigarets until he landed in France on D-Day, D-Day, but now he smokes one after another. He is about the tenth soldier who has told me that same thing. A guy in war has to have some outlet for his nerves, and I guess smoking is as good as anything. XXX All kinds of incongruous things happen during a battle. For in j stance, during one lull I got my portrait painted In water color. The artist sat crosslegged on the grass and it took about an hour The painter was Pfc. Leon Wall, from Wyoming, Pa. He went to the National Academy of Design in New York for six years, did re search for the Metropolitan Mus eum and lectured on art at the New York world's fair. Artist Wall is now, of all things, a cook and KP in an infantry regiment reg-iment mess. He hasn't done any war paintings at all since the in vasion. I asked him why not. He said: "WeU, at first I was too scared and since then I've been too busy." Provoan Promoted To Major in Army Austin Carter of West drive, has received word from his son, Jack D.
