steel factory, for example, were men
who knew little about the steel
industry. They failed to hit vital
spots. Often the damage could be
repaired with hardly any delay to
these plants operations.
Now. say Belgian spokesmen here
no act of sabotage is undertaken
without skilled direction. The work
is directed by engineers who are
specialists in various industries
They know just which parts of
machines are difficult and costly to
repelace and just where a neatly
placed bomb will knock out opera
tions longest. Often the most ap-
propriate place to strike would
never occur to a man unfamiliar
with the industry.
Owner Reaches Britain.
There arrived in England recently
the owner of small Belgian indus
try. For years he took German
orders and pretended to fill them
But always, he explained, he could
make the work unsufferably slow
by seeing to it that just the right
machines broke down. at just the
right time. Finally it became too
obvious and he had to flee the
country.
No individual acts of sabotage are
sanctioned by the engineer officers
who direct the work. The men who
carry out the destruction are con-
Sidered as soldiers acting under
orders, rather than as irresponsible
guerrillas. One result. say spokes-
men here, will be that good deal
of Belgian industry will be in a
position to resume normal opera
tions shortly after the Germans are
out Of the country, and at the same
time it is rendering the foe almost
no service at present.
1--WE learned our lesson in the last
war" says Government spokes-
man. There are ways of dealing
with Germans without hurting
yourself too much"
Another result of the disciplined
sabotage is to lessen slightly the
llulllUCl vi lOl ecu ldOol ol aus VI
skilled workers, who must be kept
to repair the damaged machines
The recently escaped industrialist,
for example, says that one of his
most vital machines has had to be
torn down and set up again about
81 times during the last three years,
due to "uneXplainable" breakdoWns
Labor Draft Heavy.
Still the labor draft is heavy and
is becoming worse and worse. More
and more skilled mechanics are be-
ing taken from the country. They
now are used chiefly in France at
hard labor repairing roads and
vital factories damaged by Allied
bombs. The age of men subject to
this labor draft now has been re-
duced to IT. Approximately $780,
900 have been deported to date. The
heavy drain on industry can be ap-
preciated from that fact that the
total membership of Belgian labor
unions just before the war was
about 9O0OO0-and practically every
worker was a union member.
Last spring began the draft of
women workers to serve outside
Belgium. There was such protest
from the church, due to reports
of immortality, that the Germans,
who then were trying to placate
the Belgian people, temporarily dis
continued the draft Within the
last few weeks, it has been started
again and any woman between the
ages Of 18 and IS is subject to this
draft. They are used as hotel and
restaurant help In Germany itself,
as mattresses in military messes,
and as farm laborers.

The large quantity of information
that has been assembled into readily
disable map form should be of mate
rial aid in the search for new oil
fields to supply increasing war de-
mands, for the geologist in his
search for new sources of supply
is guided by the accumulated ex-
perience of the past, and the records
provided by unsuccessful tests are
frequently of value in appraising
the future possibilities of an area
and in determining the locations
and necessary depths of new tests.
In addition to the more significant
wildcat tests, the map shows the
names and locations of some $50
anticlinal axes, the location of all
the oil and gas fields that have been
or are now productive, and select
ed list of 422 wells for which data
regarding location, well name, date
drilled, surface formation, and old
est formation penetrated are given.
The map has been compiled by
H. H. r. Sharkey, j. d. Love and
Jewell Kirby from federal, state and
company sources and Is on scale
of / inch to 5 miles. The wells, anti
clinal axes, and oil and gas fields
are printed in black on a base map
printed in gray on which streams
are shown in blue.
The map, entitled Map of Wyo-

Gloon ranch, about rs miles north
of Chester and few miles south of
Bears Den field producers, this
week is scheduled to test an oil

Rotary rig has been moved off
and finch pipe will be landed at
1900, to be gun perforated for test
ing the oil zone.
This well, c NE NV SW 29-36N-
sc, had gas flows in excess of
6,0O0, 900 feet In horizons above the
lime. The lime zone that showed
oil in cores was hard and tight and
failed to produce on drill stem test.

Stocks of domestic and foreign

Compared with the total of 221 $751;

Shortage Denies Veterans
Farm Loans, FSA Says
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
Hundreds OF veterans of this war
have applied to the Farm Security
Administration for financial assist
ance in re-establishing themselves
on farms, but lack of FSA funds
has necessitated the rejection of
some Of the requests, the FSA said
yesterday.
In addition, the rising value Of
land In some States has prevented
FSA from making more than a few
loans to help veterans buy farms,
it added, because farm purchase
loans are made only for farms that
are priced on the basis of the long
time earning capacity of the land.
The latest tabulation shows that
as of midsummer 3,089 veterans of
this war had filed applications for
loans. Forty per cent or 1880 had
been approved and others were
under consideration,
