higher classification of the two. 1t
is planned TO have a salary limit of
about $4,000 a month Since the

been weakened by the loss of men this
year and many fans look for them to
trounce the locals.
Seven men viii make the trip to
Lafayette and the probable lineup of

Whiteman. Bacon and Zilky at guards
are the men favored by the students

WITH THE BELGIAN ARMY IN
FLANDERS. Feb. 9.-(By mail to
New York. The Belgian army sur
geons who sat opposite me in the
compartment of the train which car
ried us as far as Calais, on the way
to Dunkirk, had been prisoners Of
war in Germany since October. Now
they were on their way to Calais,
where they had been ordered to re-
port after their exchange had been
effected.
OF the two officers. one ranked as a
captain, as the two golden and one
silver stars on his collar testified.
The golden stars on the collar of the
others Overcoat showed him to be a
lieutenant Leaving outside conver-
sation, the captains story. as brought
out by questions put to him directly,
was this:
81 was taken prisoner near Ant
werp. For a few days | was detained
in DObeln, in SaNOny. together with
dozen other officers. some French.
some English and some Belgian. We
slept in two small rooms in a bar
racks. rooms which in times of peace
serve as common soldiers quarters.
Our bedding was sacks filled with hay.
/ cannot say. however, that while at
Dobeln we were badly treated, con-
sidering the circumstances. This is
war, and prisoners must not expect
too much.
Soon, however. we were trans
ferred to Ebersdorf We found a
number of officers were already pris-
oners there along with 1000 French,
Russians. Belgians and English-if
one English prisoner in all this num-
ber may be allowed to represent Eng
land. OF the Belgians some 200 we're
civilians. Why they were there no
one seemed to know. 1t was very
unhappy lot.
"The officers slept. as at DObeln, in
small rooms of a barracks. Several
had to occupy the same room. The
ordinary soldiers and other prisoners
slept mostly in stables. in straw
which had not been changed since the
beginning of tthe war. II was alive
with vermin and reduced to powder
by constant trampling. Each of us
was allowed a single blanket and we
were often cold. OF course none of
us had more than a change of clothes;
the majority not even that; yet ! do
not know of a single case where any
body was provided with clothes by
the German authorities Most Of us
went without underwear aud shirts
while we washed and dried what We
had.
theoretically, both the barracks
and stables were heated. A heating
plant had been installed, but the
actual heating had been let by con-
tract 10 a civilian and he economized
