 None of the gatherings is of greater interest than the various athletic field
 days. The nations hold these at stated
 intervals, and two international meets were held last year. one under the aus pices of the English and the other by the French. Civilians were invited to
 compete with the soldiers, The Amer iean troops held two athletic meets.
 both of which were very successful In the international meet held by the British the Americans were first in the Ai0-yard run and in the four-man relay team. In the international meet held under the auspices Of the French troops the Americans got even more honors. In these two meets the United States soldiers got eight first. nine sec one. nine third and nine fourth places The British soldiers are devoted to boxing, and the inter-re gimental con tests provide excellent sport.

ENGINEERS FEE s4oo, ,ooo
Sir Alexander Binnie's Remarkable
 Contract With Ottawa

Engineers who have become diseour-
 aged at the lack of financial recognition
 Of the engineering profession, should take
 heart, says The Engineering News. The city council of the capital city of Canada has voted to retain Sir Alexander R. Bi-
 nie. the well known English engineer, as
 the designing and supervising engineer
 for the new water supply system. It has accepted Sir Aexanders proposition that he be paid s4Oo000 for the complete super
 vision of the scheme from its design
 through the completion of it's construc-
 tion, the engineer to furnish for this sum
 all of the engineering supervision and in- spection, as well as, the hesigning, speci-
 iication writing and. advice ordinarily
 given by consulting engineer.
 Specifically, Sir Alexander Binnie agrees
 to furnish the entire engineering force for the survey of the line. the designing of
 the system and the supervision of the
 work during construction. He agrees to be responsible (although such responsibil- ity is. of course. not financiaD for the proper execution of the work and for all payments made to the contractors, and he guarantees that at least twice during each working season i.e himself or one of his partners will come from England and visit the work In other words. the English engineer will substitute his own office and force for the ordinary city de- partment, which has control of the con strutcion of new waserworks for a city such an organization. for instance. as the New York board of water supply
 This, it will be seen is an extraordi- l nary contract. It is of a type fairly com mon, we believe. in those out-of-the- way countries where local authority is not sufficient to undertake the establishment | of its own engineering force, but decided 1xs tftatft ia, 1i..il fraI ,ff of l the size and quality of Ottawa. Realizing l this, Sir Axelander submitted an alterna- l tive proposal, whereby the city furnished the engineering force and the English en- gineer the services of his consulting firm For this he was to receive S140,000 The city fathers. however, accepted the first proposal under which, using the figures given in a report in an Ottawa paper nurportinp to come from Sir Alexander himself, the actual cost to the firm will be SS00.e0a. leaving a handsome personal fee to the consulting engineer of $100000.

 MORALE OF ARMY
Soldiers Benefited by Par

IN THE PHILIPPINES
Athletic Council Arranged to Regu. late Sports so Great Is Enthusi- asm-Soldiers of Other Ma
 tions Becoming Interested

That baseball has been an important United States troops Is evidenced in the reports of several army officers. and especially in the reports from the Phil ippines. More men are actual partici- pants in the game than in any other branch of sport. and the soldiers are taking such a live interest in the game that the forms of recreation and amusement which have been detriment- al rather than beneficial to the men arc gradually decreasing. says the New York Times.
 The enthusiasm for athletic sports among the soldiers in the Philippines has become so prominent that General Bell has issued an order for the forma : ton or an athletic council to regulate sports of all kinds and place them on purely amateur basis.
 This council will consist of one off cer rom each regiment There will also be board of representation to assist the council, consisting of one honcommissioned officer from the coast artillery, the Philippine scouts and the engineer. signal. hospital and quartermaster corps
 
 over the fact that wherever the United states soldiers come in contact with the soldiers of other nations baseball is regarded as the one sport which in the future will eventually become an international affair.
 Maj. Palmer E. Pierce who has just returned fom Tientsin. China where he has been on duty with the Fifteenth United States Infantry, says that the soldiers of other nations have become interested in the American game, and a series of games played there last summer for the champion ship of the regiment attracted the off. cers and men of all the other nations The games were played for silver-cups and took place at Recreation park Tientsin. A large crowd attended tho final game. after which the winners were presented with the trophies. Thi. same interest in the game was also shown in the recent Giant White Soa worlds tour.
