In connection with their plans for re-

which is now making plans for the es-
adjustment of temporary houses and
hotels on the present battle front,
which. of course. is at present entirely
without facilities for receiving the
army of visitors which, it is felt sure,
viii pour in when the belligercntS lay
aside their arms. Negotiations are he
ing carried on with American manufac-
turcrs for the construction of portable
onc-story dwellings,, and hostelries.
Plans, specifications and prices have
been requested for structures of diff
fercnt types ranging from one, two and
thrce-room houses to community, or
hotel, buildings having from twenty
five to 200 rooms, in addition to
kitchens and dining halls. The COM
pany anticipates expanding about

In spite of the rapidity with which
the genuine article is being turned out
