With Mysterious Implements to SBeek Sources of Petroleum and Water. PARIS (#)—Bearing his rod and clock, Abbe Lambert plans to go to the United States to prospect for ofl and water. The abbe, who has been army officer, doctor of theology, journalist and coun- try priest, is credited with discovering water sources in Europe, the Near East and Africa—notably on the Sahara desert. It is said he located an under- ground stream in Marseilles which had been causing landslides. His method is something of & mys- tery. He walks around a suspect spot with & clock and an assistant follows him with the rod. When the clock turns in his hand, he says: “There you will find water if you dig a hole.” Sometimes they do. It has been suggested that if the ancient libraries of Central Asia were ransacked and diligently gone over we should find accounts of voyages or mi- grations from China to the New World dating hundreds and perhaps thousands of years ago.

WORKS COLUMBIA 5228 Corps, seven Dental Corps and seven officers of the Veterinary Corps will, between next January 1 and June 30, become due for promotion to the next higher grade. In anticipation of these advancements, the War nt authorized last week the convening of examining boards, to meet at various posts and stations, for the purpose of examining such offi- cers of the Medical Corps as may be directed to report for examination to determine their fitness for promotion. Ten boards of officers, to examine offi- cers of the Medical Corps, have been appointed to meet during November and other boards will be appointed later. In the Medical Corps examinations, 5 lieutenant colonels will appear before the various boards for promotion to the grade of colonel, 25 majors will be ex- amined for promotion to the grade of lleutenant colonel, 2 captains for pro- motion to the grade of major and 13 first lieutenants for promotion to the grade of captain. In the dental examinations, 3 majors of this corps will be examined for promotion to the grade of lleutenant colonel, 3 captains for promotion to major and 1 first leutenant for pro- motion to the le of captain. It is expected that 3 captains of the Veterinary Corps will be examined for promotion to the grade of major, 3 first lleutenants for promotion to the grade of captain and 1 second lleuten- ent for promotion to the grade of first lieutenant.
