CIVIL SERVICE RULES WAIVED
Five Special Pension Examiners t.
Obtain Clerkships.

With the concurrence Of the civil
service commission. the President has
rescinded the paragraph of the civil
service rules excepting from examina-
ton five special pension examiners to
investigate fraudulent and other PEN
sion claims Of criminal character and
has authorized the transfer Of the ex-
aminers to clerkships in the competi-
tive classified service in the bureau of
pensions after appropriate non-com-
petitive examination by the civil serv-
ice commission:
That action was recommended by the
acting secretary of the interior and
the commissioner of pensions. on the
ground that the men are young. active
energetic and well qualified for work
as stenographers, typewriters and
clerks, and for making special investl-
cations, and their services would be
lost by reason of the failure of ap-
preparation for their salaries during
the ensuing fiscal year. Under the
appropriation act reduction of
eighty-eight is made in the force, and
only % per cent Of the vacancies can
be filled other than by promotion or
demotion. The transfer of these men.
it is asserted. will prevent CORE
spending reduction in the force. which
can be i'll afforded on account of the
recent increase of work.

mans soon saw us, and the big shells
began to fall SO near US that we had
to decamp-after we had done q good
deal of damage to the houses
1--WE spent the night in a ruined and
deserted village; little except bare
walls, though a few houses still re-
manned intact. I found one and 1t was
occupied by three dear old French
to sleep in and some beer with my
bread and cheese for supper. I slept
like a top, despite of the fact that the
shells were falling the whole time. and
in the morning when I wanted to md
some one to make me cup OF choco-
late-the old women were in the cell
lar.
During the early morning the shells
were falling quite close to me, killing
a number of the villagers-fourteen, I
believe-and wounding about thirty.
Then the exodus began, and I believe
every one except my three old women
and the Tommies. resting from the
trenches, decamped. We then got or
found them on fire. The sight was
more wonderful and awful than any
one could possibly describe: tho Eng
lish shells were going over our heads
one way and the German the other way.
Shells Bursting All Around.
Near to us were tho trenches, one
line Of fire with bursting shells, in
cendiary bombs and grenades being
thrown and fired across just like
lights on the ends of sticks, and great
black clouds from the coal boxes,
flashes from the shrapnel and explo-
sive shells, and the constant whistle
of all the shells going overhead. High
up in the air you could see the aero
planes observing our artillery fire, and
little balls of black smoke all around
them caused by the bursting shells of
the German anti-aircraft guns, and on
the ground the Tommies advancing on
their hands and knees. firing their
rifles off. and then getting up and
charging: sometimes successfully,
sometimes to be all wiped out. One
regiment that day lost 900 out Of 1900.
caused by our own artillery fire, but it
Is impossible to avoid 1t to q certain
extent. I returned that night in a
very thankful frame of mind to Es-
taire. I got good bed. This morning
we went right up to the trenches, and
shelled some houses held by Germans
only 500 yards away. We demolished
dropping shells all around us. One car
got pegged and we had to get 1t out
under fire, and tow 1t with the other
car.
II have now got back to Dunkirk,
and shall be- here for a few days as the
senior officer in charge of these armor-
ed cars has arrived from England; my
short command is over for the present.
1 expect to be going with some light

feet deep. SO I had to go back to the

I received orders to go back to where

was to report myself next morning at
$40. with two of the armored cars.
The scene here was extraordinary
one long line of motor ambulances
coming in from the trenches with all
the poor Tommies. and the empty ones
going back for more. This went on all
night. l eventually found a billeting
officer. who found coffin manufac-
turer's workshop for my men to sleep
the night In, and got some food for
them. I spent the night In chair in

instead Of reaching Gen. Rawlinson's
headquarters at $3.50 we got there at

the man with the three-pounders I have
been waiting for the whole morning.
The battle started at Z, and VIII be
over before you start. But sit down
first and have some breakfast.
He then produced a map and showed
me where to go, and l soon got into
the middle Of one of the biggest bat
ties of the war. 1t was terrific-all
kinds of shells dropping with whistle
and a thud all around us-'Jack John-
sons sending out clouds of black
smoke, shrapnel bursting in the air
and high explosive shells bursting
with a terrible flash and report. q for
got to mention that I had received
orders to leave one car some miles
back, and at the time had only one
car with me) I then left my car be
hind a deserted cottage and walked upI
to the farm where the headquarters
were, feeling as If I were walking on
air amidst the most extraordinary
noise produced by $40 of our guns. not
to mention the noise of the German
shells bursting.
The general showed me on the map
some houses which he said he wanted
destroyed, and also showed me map
where our trenches were, and out L
went again. Whilst l was talking to
him one of his staff told him that a
shell had just burst our field telephone
wire outside the farm.
