u. 5. Mess Sergeants
Become Experts at
Hagg|ing With Arabs
Burter Works Best
On Simple Items,
Such as Fresh Eggs
BY JOHN LARDNER,

Foreign Correspondent of The Star and
North American Newspaper Alliance.
ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN
NORTH AFRICA, April l7.-War
teaches many, many things useful
and practical in later life and when
the American Expeditionary Forces
return home after this conflict every
man who ever served as mess SER
geant in North America will know
how to make a deal with an Arab
for eggs-fresh eggs. In case there
are no Arabs available in the United
States after the war friendly tribes
of Indians may be induced to per-
form this function in order to assist
in the adjustment of mess sergeants
to postwar civilization.
Throughout the Tunisian battle
field native farmers are the sole
source of the breakfast egg supply.
To some soldiers the war here has
been a conventional cycle of battles,
marches, mine fields, bombings and
barrages, but to the men on the
kitchen detail it lives in memory
as a succession of grave, courteous
Mohammedans in red fezes holding
the chicken embryo between the
thumb and foref1nger of the upraised
right hand and saying:
-Four francs, very good"
A study of market conditions on
the recent Southern Tunisian battle
front shows that the price of single
egg ranges from a high of francs
to sensational bargain developments
in the lower brackets engineered
by sergeants with polished trading
technique. Much depends on local
conditions and how pressing the
Arab need is for cigarettes, soap

holes are punched to make pants.
In Tebessa, for instance, above
the battle-torn plain leading to
Kasserine Gap, mess sergeant last
week reported the purchase OF a
gilt-edged block of 10 eggs for five
packs of American cigarettes. Based
on the Army post exchange value
of cigarettes this represents almost
six dozen eggs for price the SER
geant would ordinarily pay for one
dozen. The average cash price OF
a single egg in the southern desert
region is 3 francs. or cents, and
in the more fertile northern neigh
borhoods of Constantine, for in
stance. francs. The original ask
ing price, however. is always higher
and the bidding price lower than
the final figure.
American traders in uniform who
have penetrated to the French and
Arab outposts of Tozeur and Nefta
have also learned to deal skillfully
for soft, baggy African trousers,
hand-worked silver and leather
goods. Useful mediums OF exchange
in this sectors are lemonade, cigars
and a well-known soft drink syrup.
At Tozeur citizen named Mo-
manned Ali will guide you around
town all day for 100 francs and two
cigars, or will sell to you for 500
francs and a canteen full of lemon
ade, two yards of red cloth to make
trousers suitable for wear, he ex-
plains, in American harems. Mo-
hammed Ali has dead pan and
it is impossible to tell if he is kid
ding on this score or not.
1t must be admitted that the
average mess sergeant has not pro-
gressed much beyond the ritual of
bartering for eggs. When other ele-
ments are introduced into the busi-
ness intercourse he is apt to be-
come confused. Outside of the town
OF Gafsa few days ago your CORE
spondent recorded, blow by blow, the
following conversation between an
Arab, aged IL. called Johnny, and

more occult channels.

scampering movement of fingers and

"Rouge?" said the sergeant, now
fairly desperate. Il don't want no

That's life in the desert when

and two minds fail to meet. To
keep the record complete I should
add that the Arab recovered his
rabbit that afternoon.

was decision to bar Jewish refugees
from Palestine. 1t insisted there was

These organizations referred to

|DUPRE FREED ON
 EVASION CHARGE
Youth Sought By Local Draft Board Now Faces
 Deportation Action
(NEA Cablephoto)

Charges of draft evasion were dis missed in the case of Wilfred Jo- seph Dupre, arraigned before U. S. Commissioner Howard s. Young, in Indianapolis yesterday, but immi- grafton officials plan to deport the youth. Deportation proceedings will be based on charges of illegal entry into the U. s. and commission of @ felony. Dupre, a native of Levack. Ont, Canada, registered for selective service with board 16B in Water bury. At the time he was sum- moned for his physical examination he was serving a two-year sentence in an Indiana reformatory for theft. A warrant was sworn out for his ar- rest by officials of the local board. Dupre told authorities in Indian apolis that he believed local officials knew that he was serving a jail sentence.
 He expressed a desire to enlist in the Canadian army as soon as he is deported.
