be selected in eight southern states
tomorrow and United States senators

Democratic leaders claim the south

the Republicans do not appear to be
making much effort to poll "A large

in Tennessee and North Carolina. The
Republicans are hopeful of gaining a
few more seats in congress in these

conceding them the two they have in
Tennessee are making vigorous

| in this city alone for the lectures
readings and conferences on the du-
ties of a military engineer.
Like many another of the prepared
ness movements which are sweeping
the country, the project had for its
basis the idea of making known a
need that would confront the country
in case of war. The engineers took
| up the scheme with an enthusiasm
that surprised even the men who con-
ceived 1t. The lectures which were
the first step in the program were de-
! Ilivered under the sanction of General
| Wood, who himself addressed one OF
the meetings. General Wood asked
for an assurance that at least a hun
| dred men would attend the first meet.
ing. over two thousand were pres
ent, and 1t was necessary to turn sew
en- hundred away from the doors.
The training given the engineers
consists in a series of lectures on mill
I tary engineering problems, the sugges-
uon OF useful reading along the same
lines, and series or conferences on
the works thus read. Besides this
hundreds of the men are actually
drilling, with the intention of attend
ing the next Plattsburg encampment
They would like to have the govern
ment arrange for q special encamp-
ment for engineers, as the Plattsbure
camp comes at time when most en-
glneers find 1t impossible to leave their
work in the field, but so far this has
proved impracticable. The lectures
are delivered by staff officers of the
army and engineering corps, who man.
age to find time for the extra work in
addition to their regular duties.
| In the short time since the project
has been under way, seven lectures
nave been delivered, covering MANY
or the problems that an engineer en-
counters in the field in time of war. n
mas proved necessary to give each OF
tnese lectures three times over in or.
der to give all the men who want IN
near them chance to attend. AS for
the drill work, the leaders of the move
inent are confident that a thousand en-
glneerS would turn. out in this citv
aione II an encampment were provided
at time when their regular profess
sional work was not TOO pressing.
Inc numbers of the engineers and
elalileo @ technlcai men In any big city
comes as something of a SURPRISE IN
anybody who has never investigated
the question. The city of New Yori,
employs about four thousand engineers
IN municipal work Fifteen hnndrad
municipal engineers work on the suh-
way alone, exclusive of hundreds move
lemployed by private contracto As
o,,oiie o.i nistance OF What al reserve corps OF
engineers could do in time of war, the
Eltai question of the defense of New
YORK in case of invasion arises as q
pertinent example. The defenses n re
Oh course already elaborately planned
on paper, covering line more than =
nuhored miles long. In an emer-
gency' civilian engineers who had
eAt eahsh the necessary training and study
such as the engineers of New YorIS . ~
giving themselves to-day, could taIse
over those plans from the army enein-
eerlng corps and see that thew waro

men free to go with the troops.
