VOCATIONAL FIGHTING

Latest figures show that nearly 24O,OO0 transfers of men from one unit to another have taken place in army camps in the United States as the result of occupational quail fications ascertained through the committee on classification of per- sonnel of the adjutant generals office.
 The speeding up of preparations for overseas service dur ng the past few months has meant a great in- crease in the work of the committee. About 4O,OOO transfers have taken place each week recently.
 Through the medium of the com mittee an organization has been built up in all army camps by which en- listed men and commissioned off cers are classified according to oc- cupational qualifications. In some of the camps, where as many as 2,500 men are received daily, a force of 200 trained interviewers is employed to ascertain full informa- tion regarding the mems occupa- tions, education, experience and special qualifications.
 The central personnel bureau at Washington receives reports soon after the arrival at camp of each draft increment, showing the mum. Der of skilled and semi-skilled men in different occupations. The Sig nal orps, Ordnance, Quartermaster and other corps are constantly mak. ing requests for skilled men needed by their specail troops. By means of the occupational classification the transfers are promptly made.
 A general order which has just been issued requires that every en. listed man leaving the States shal have made out an occupatioal card This enables officers on the other side to place men where they car be most useful.
 i Among men now being trans ferred because of occupational quail fications are mechanics, chauffers chemists for gas defense work, phy sicists and meteorologists for avia tion purposes, surgical instrument repairers, bacteriologists, map drafts men, refrigeration experts, crane operators, foresters, railroad build CTS, railway shop workmen, account ants, gunsmiths, and other ordnance specialists and workmen for engin ger regiments.

There is scarcely a need pr desire that can not be filled from the large stocks which are constantly being replenished. Although the men are issued ample rations the quartermaster stores are opened to enlisted men for the pur- pose of permitting them to add to their menu or to satisfy individual desires for dainties or delicacies. The highest grade of merchandise only is carried in stock so that the men may be sure of having the best, whether in rations of extra supplies.
 Meats, groceries, fish, vegetables, notions, toilet articles, smokers ar ticles, and scores of miscellaneous items are included in the published price lists. These lists are made available to each company and pur- chases may be made either for cash or credit.

CLUMSY. OF GERMANS DO
 NOT WORK OUT
Germans Fail to Corrupt Belgians of Flemish Extraction, to
 German Ways.

WA0f11NGl OIN, U. C.- rom Belgian who has escaped into Eng ; land after three years of captivity | in German prison camps, the Bel gian legation here has received in teresting details of the clumsy ef- forts of the German conquerors to alienate the Belgians of Flemish ex- traction from their countrymen of Walloon descent, as practiced among Belgian prisoners in Germany.
 The project, which has been de- scribed as stupidly conceived and executed had it's birth, the advices say, in the dreams of the Pan-Ger- manists who would set up in nor thern Belgium Flemish state that would assume the status of a Ger man protectorate. .,
 The first advances were made to- ward the Belgians of Flemish ex- traction confined in the prison camps They were segregated and forward ed to other prison centers, where they were treated with some degree of kindness in an effort to win their support in establishing the new state. All measures calculated to win over the prisoners failed miser- ably, said the legations informant, and the groups remained indissolu- bly Belgian.
 Parts of the letter describing the German intrigue follow:
 ''The plan of the Germans was 70 concentrate all the Flemings in the camp at Gottingen, to give them privileged treatment under the SUD- ervision of civilian, Professor Stange, of the Gottingen University and to induce them to join the acti- vist movement aiming at the separa- tion of Belgium into two political states, Flanders falling under Ger man direct or indirect control. i 'In the course of July, I decided with a few companions, to volun- i teer for Gottingen in order to coun- teract the enemy's intrigues. We found there Professor Stange and a few of his activist disciples hard at work. Stange was practically the commander of the camp. We were treated with great consideration by the sentries, the system of blows and threats was suspended and we were much surprised to be addressed as "Herrschaften.
 'The converted men were only a very small minority, including some students and artists. Happily :. the new regime allowed the patriots to speak out and to unmask the traitors. Our work was made con. slderably easier through the inter. ference of two members of the Council of Flanders" Borms and Weert. Their interference stamped Stange's Flemish activity as a purel, German manoeuver and one by one the prisoners ceased to attend the i Club 'Fursorge.'
 "At the same time the regime ir camp changed entirely. The "Herr schaften" were again "Schwein hunde" and new commander was sent to the camp The civilian haG failed in his mission and the mili tary exerted it's former power witt a vengeance.
 Most of the Flemings at Got tingen, (nearly 10000 passed thru the camp) were sent to various kom mandos. The number of Stange's conversions among the Flemish pris oners might be almost a hundred Even the fear of being sent to z salt mine did not induce more thar one man in a hundred to lend z patient ear to separatist propa

Havre, France, Oct. 9.-Letters
from Belgium tell of starvation prices
paid in the occupied districts under
German rule for food.
Communal employees at IXelles have
figured minimum amounts for mere
existence as follows Man and wife,
81 900 q year; unmarried persons,
$500: child over IL, $340; child over
6. $240: child under 6, $1d4. This does
not include clothirg-only food.
A citizen of Brussels writes a friend
that food prices are eXorbitant. There
are only eonsumptives and anemic
people left. And how could it be 9TH
erwise? Tho absolute necessities are
lacking or unobtainable. Flour costs
from $3.50 to So n pound. Butter costs
ST q pound; meat Sc pound and all
fats from $6.40 to $72Q a pound. Po-
tatoes sell for 80 cents d pound. Eggs
cost 30 cents each, and milk is 25 cents
a quart.
at is madness just to think Of the
money it costs Just to clothe oneself,
Except for some clothes I bought the
children in 1915, we are still wearing
the same clothes we wore before the
war. Thread, which formerly cost
cents now costs $240 a spool. Cot
ton flannel costs So a meter $50 inch
esp and cotton goods costs 1915 for 80
inches Before the war the same cloth
cost 10 cents,
But in spite OF all, we are not will
ing to yield TO the Germans"

er having been surrounded for more
than four days in the Argonne forest,
are now recovering from their har-
rowing experience.
The men had subsisted partly on
oak leaves and many units were so
depleted by weakness that wounded
men had to take turns ut guard duty.
Yet, they cheered as they drove back
the German forces surrounding them.
When they reached the American
lines, they were white and exhausted
but were infinitely proud of their gal
liant stand. Major Whittlesey was in
command of the battalion, A second
lieutenant came out with IS machine
gun bullet holes in his clothes, but
without scratch, he had one bruise
from o bullet which had killed
man behind him. A machine gun
fired at this lieutenant from a disc
lance of thirty feet and the lieuten-
ants gas mask was cut away but he
was uninjured
1t was just after midnight when
the news first reached the weary but
determined men that help was COM
ing. The rescuers rushed on through
the German lines, breaking one enc
my defense after another and com
pleted the rescue.
While fresh troops drove the Ger
mans in wild flight, the tired heroes
of the battalion began to filter back
to their bases. Many of the men We're
suffering from variety of wounds,
but most of these injuries were not
serious. They could scarcely eat
when they were served with beef
stew and coffee, but later improved
considerably in vitality and their
spirits are now as high and defiant
as they must have been during the
days when they were beleagaered in
the woods.

In any event fewer enemy shells
dropped on the First army front than
on any other of the preceding three
nights. Even when our doughboys
leaped from their box-hold trenches

several points it became necessary for
the infantry to halt while our guns
hammered the enemy into a more
