CAMP PIKE NEWS.

Among 35 Arkansas and Oklahoma men from overseas brought to the base hospital here this week are four who were wounded in the battle of Champagne on October 3. They are Warren Burns, John Gamble, Frank Hord and Iran Wherry. Gamble and Burns are still unable to walk from wounds in the feet and legs. The men all seem reluctant to discuss their part in the fighting, modestly declaring they did nothing more than thousands of others. "Oh, my foot just got in the way of a machine gun bullet," said Gamble lightly when asked about his wound. Gamble, who was cited for bravery and recom- mended for other citations that may bring him the Croix de guerre, would not say anything about his heroism. "Oh, I just rescued a French gen. eral under fire, that's all, and no more would he say. The men say they were treated fine" everywhere, and that French and English women were particularly anxious to make tho Americans comfortable. Sgt. Five Allen, who was in the fighting at St. Mihiel and the Argonne, tells of being gassed when he examined a perfume bottle, found on dresser with a lot of other feminine articles in dug out captured from the Germans.
 The training in new vocations for soldiers whose wounds prevent them from pursuing their former work, school has been established by the government in the base hospital area at Camp Pike. Six women trained in vocational instruction have been sent there to teach the soldiers and two buildings equipped with 20 type writers, wood- working and other machinery. In establishing these schools it is the purpose of the gov ernment to equip those who have lost
 
 limbs in new occupation of a trade that they may earn good pay and re- tain their independence. A man who has lost his legs for instance, may be trained in typewriting or other occu- pations in which legs are not neces- sary, while those who have lost one CT both hands or arms will be trained in agriculture, or some work that may be performed with the use of artifi- cial arms and hands.
 With approximately 16,000 men in Camp Pike awaiting discharge and the work of demobilization progress ing uninterruptedly, 1t is believed that within a month all of the men now here. with the exception of those in permanent organizations will have have been sent home. This does not mean that the camp will be entirely evacuated, for besides the permanent detachments, troops will continue to arrive from overseas and from other camps for discharge here. It is prob able that it will be months before this work will be completed.

Notable Figure In Red' Army Meets
 Death Tragically

Budapest, Sept. 13-"Comrade" Sczamueli, one of the organizers of the red army, who was shot while attempting to cross the Austrian frontier after the fall of Bela Kun, was one of the most spectacular fig ures in the brief but sanguinary reign of the Hungarian bolsheviki.
 ScZamueli was 30 years old, the son of a small landowner. He work ed on the Budapest radical newspaper, Nepsave, and was rather an obscure member of the left wing of the social democratic party. He entered the army, and was among the officers captured by the Russians in 1915. They sent him to Siberian prison camp where he remained until the bolsheviki revolution, when he went to Moscow. Here he took leading part among the agitation of the pris- oners of war, and became interested in the bolshevik movement.
 Returning to Hungary after the downfall of the Hapsburgs, he work ed unceasingly in preparation for the bolshevik coup d etat enjoying great popularity among the soldiers.
 After the soviet government was set up, Szamuel entered the govenn- ment as a member of the war college, and passd much of his time organiz- ing the Hungarian red army. He took personal part in resisting the Rumanian advance.

No Wheat Supply
 In the Ukraine

Paris, Sept. 13.-Advices from American Red Cross investigators at Poltava. Southern Russia in Paris to- day state that reports of an enor- nous grain surplus in Ukraine and Southern Russia which have disturb ed American wheat growers with wis ions of tumbling market may be dismissed as groundless.
 Investigators who have just ar rived at Poltava after tour of the country recently liberated by General Denikine, from the bolsheviki, state that early threshings promise crop from 10 to 25 per cent above the normal, this being due to the spur ring influence of the Germans, who directed their energies last fall to having every available foot in Uk- raine put into winter wheat. Even the bumper crop, however, will fall short of the domestic demand and it is declared that not a bushel of it will enter into competition with wheat from the United States. Russia and the countries bordering on the Black Sea will need the entire 1919 crop.
