NOT MO GO
TO THEE FIGHT
ON BATTLEFIELD
WITH TIIK AMKRICAN ARMY IN
KNHhANIt, Aug. lu.— When a sol
dier leaves the Halted States he
should not feel certain he is go
l lug to win glory on the battle
j field in Kranee. Whether officer or
enlisted man, lie Is subjected to fur
| lher scrutiny in Kngiand and in
Fiance, and until a little corps of
1 een eyed and careful officers have
completed the examination no one can
I tell into just what part of the big
j army machine he is going to fit.
j There are in Kngiand camps where
| every man who passes through is
"trade indexed.” This is especially
true of one camp where a large part
ot the airmen and motor transport
tones arrive shortly after debarka
tion. The records accompanying them
show what the men have been doing
in civil life, and a further examination
! of them and a scrutiny of the demands
i often determine the part they are to
! take, sometimes only for temporary
I duty, hut in some cases for an indefl
| nite period
I'nun (his lot are selected the men
"ho "ill go into the big repair shops
at mice. Men experienced in elec
trical work are sent to stations where
their services are most needed. Or
ders for automobile experts are Idled,
i and nut inlrei|ueiitly the men in com
mand of tile station are called upon
to supply men for following, for a
tilin', ai least, exactly the sann kind
ol work they were doing in the I'niteil
Stales before their numbers ia t lie
drali were railed.
A big hospital is being er -et-ii at
ein <iim11 The money for tli 'ma
terial '.as furnished by the lied I'ross,
i lie hi ; 1 ' ing done by ti e irmy
i The must met ion of the buildings is
i lmt materially different from that of
| war hospital- lining erected ia tile
I'niteil Stales, and the same el -s m
| skilled labor is bring used. .Uxperts
in the use of cement are working
there Clumbers are doing the same:
sort of work they were paid to do in j
the United Slates, carpenter! are em
ployed in doing as high grade ^>r
as could be found aciywhere,Alai the j
drawing of the plans and specifica
tions is done by architects and engi
neers. \ 11 the men whoso work is go
ing into the building have been taken
from the rank and file of those who j
reached camp on their way from the
ports of debarkation. They will be
| bold there only so long as their work
j cn the structure Is required, and then
they will rejoin their organ nations un
less detailed for other work.
Officers engaged in fixing the trade
index of the army have boasted that
from the ranks of the National army
there may be found men who can do
any class of work required, from
grinding a diamond to working on the
titling of a bin un.
I .ONI ION, Aug. 1". A systematic
collection throughout the country of
till hartl nut shells and fruit stones,
urgently reuuired for war purposes,
i; being conducted by the govern-1
ment Knglish householders, tiotel
proprietors, superintendents of insti
tutions and others were asked recently
In the national salvage council to
save all the fruit stones and hard nut
shells available.
FHENCH GIRLS FURNISH
INCENTIVE TO STUDY
LONDON. Aug 10 Tin* army is,
solving more than on** national ilith
eulty. In pre-war days, perhaps ow
ing to their insularity, the Knglish
; "♦'!»* not what might he called good
linguists
IhH tlie army fm: lived all that Its,
grammar might leave a lot to he de
Hired, hut when it comes to making
itself understood, the army gets
there ”
Practically all of the moys have
mastered the essentials ol the French
language. For instance, they have all
learned to say "Hong soir, ma'amsellc;
voulez \011s promener aver moi?"
To keep their linguistic accomplish
ments up to the mark, the American-'
have Joined them, and new phrases
have to be adopted
"(Jiicss I’ve got yam trimmed." says
the \ anki e, as lie walks off arm in
arm with "ma amsolle. to teach her
"American."
"Oui. monsieur, mais you are e. r
tnfneinent •stung.’ " chirrups tb* He]

And thus the Knglish Tommies and
American doughboys find that tin
man who can get away with the best
French also can get away with the
best girl and competition is keen.
