What When Eternal Question in Tunisia By ERNIE PYLK. IN TUNISIA (by wireless) The finish of a campaign such as this one in Tunisia has a definite reaction on everybody. At first there is terrific enthusiasm. Then after a few days a letdown occurs. Everybody realizes, once he relaxes, how terribly tired he is.

He Is like a rubber band has been stretched too tight A feeling of anticlimax settles over him. Dozens of times I've" heard-such expressions as "I'm all jumpy" and, "I feel at loose ends" and "I want to get moving, I don't care but Staying in Tunisia now is like sitting- on in the tent after the circus has finished its performance. Everybody is wondering what we are going to do next, and when, and where. Of course the Germans woulcMike to know that, too. And I can assure you that if they don't know any more about our plans than the correspondents and the bulk of the Army, they are completely In the dark.

We in the common herd have no Inkling of what the next act will be. We can only hope It will be soon, for this feeling of intermission is getting us down. a a i 'As for me, I 'don't know what I'll do either. First I'm going back into Algeria and take a bath and get some laundry done and read a few letters. Then I'll sit down of a couple of weeks of column writing in peaceful surroundings.

You'll have to bear up under a few more columns, for I have a lot of leftover items to put on paper. What comes after that is anybody's guess. I might go back to England for a while. might take a Cook's tour of South Africa. I might even take a Mediterranean cruise or feed the pigeons at St Teter's In Rome, who knows? a a The Germans didn't quite' hew to the ethical line1 in one thing they continued to destroy their own stuff the surren der.

Sometimes their destructive frenzy was almost laughable. I saw one blvouack where they had left all their big guns, their ten-wheelers, all their heavy gear intact, yet they had smashed such things as personal radios, toilet kits, chairs, and even an accor- Idlan. However, what they put out of action was trivial. The couapse was so huge that most of their stuff was taken intact Today.

Our military police acted quickly to throw Kuards around all cap' tured supply dumps and preserve them until the army can collect, sort and put to use all the captured material. A little scene on the day of the surrender sticks in my mind.

Hundreds of Germans were stand lng and sitting arouhd a Tunisian farmyard. There was a sprinkling ot Italian prisoners, too, and a scattering of American, British and French soldiers on various errands. It was indeed an inter national assembly; In this far foreign farmyard there, was a windmill. The print ing 6n the windmill's, 'big fan seemed so incongruous that I had to jot it down, for it said "Flint Walling Manufacturing Kendajlville, Ind." You Just can't get foreign enough to lose us Hooslers, One of the English-speaking German soldiers asked me why I was copying that down, and when I told him it was because the windmill came from my home state he smile and said, oh, yes, he'd been in Indiana several times himself!
