Construction of 16 CantOn- ments Proving Too Great an Undertaking in so :
 Short Time
MANY DIFFICULTIES NOW SURROUND THE COMPLETION OF WORK
Department Is Under Fire From Every Side, Especi- ally Congressmen and
 Contractors

Washington, June 18.-Sim- ultaneous construction of 16 war army cantonments, each to house 10000 troops, has proved such an enormous task that of ficiaIs do not now believe it can be completed in time to per init mobilization of the first quota of 650,000 by Septem- Der 1.
 Whether any of the men selected under the draft will be called out until the government is ready to begin training of the entire first quota has not been revealed It is believed, how ever, that even if all the cantonments are not complete by the beginning of September, the date generally sug- gested for the mobilization, such units as can be accommodated may be summoned in advance of the others.
 Work on the cantonments will go for ward as rapidly as possible and war de- partment officials are hopeful that if all have not been completed by September l. they will be ready soon after that date The task has been surrounded with many unexpected difficulties. The de- partment has been under fire from conn mfttees which hoped for cantonment sites and has been deluged with corre- spondence from contractors seeking share in the work. There have been conflicting opinions as to types of build ings, the present plan for two-story con- pany buildings to house together the 1s0 men of each infantry company having met with objection from the medical sec tion of the defense advisory council on the ground that not enough air space would be allowed.

BELGIUM, CRUSHED
 ID EARTH, SHALL
 RISE ONCE MORE
President Wilson Tells Mis- sion That He Sees Day When Nation Shall
 Be Restored

Washington, June 18.-In greeting Belgium's war mis- sion today President Wilson expressed Americas "sol- emn determination that on the inevitable day of victory
 Belgium shall be restored to the place she has so richly won among the self-respect- ing and respected nations of the earth"
 The commissioners spent their first day in Washington paying official calls. Secretary Lansing accompanied them to the White House, where Baron Moncheur, head of the mission, handed to President Wilson personal letter from King Albert and expressed in a short address Belgium's gratitude for Americas aid.
 Since the first days of the greatest tragedy which has ever befalIen hu- manity,' said the baron. Belgium has contracted an immense debt of grati- tude to the generous American nation. In magnificent outburst of sympathy for the little country which had chosen to delay powerful and pitiless enemy rather than to tarnish its honor or forswear it's plighted word, the in : itiative of American citizens gave to the unfortunate vitims of German cruelty in Belgium the most splendid evidences of generosity.
 1 But the chivalrous sentiments which animate the people of the United States went further than this when President 1 Wilson, giving an admirable example of disinterested power, uttered the words we'll fitted to make us 4s le with hope and cause us to fix r eges confidently open the starry liner which has become more than q 1na symbol of strength placed at ti Ssrs vice of helhighest and most pun SsIin ciples.
 BELGIUM NOT CONQUER In
 Yes, Belgium will again tai ner

RUSSIAN MISSION ID REACH CAPITAL
 TODAY AT NOON

Washington, June 1s-Russia's war mission, whose coming is awaited with more than ordinary interest because of the internal situation facing the new Russian democracy, will reach Washing ton at noon tomorrow to discuss CO., operation in the war with American of- fcials
 Ranking officials of the state depart ment will meet the envoys at the rail- road station and accompanied by cav airy guard will escort them to their headquarters. Every effort was made to have the welcome reflect the American nations deep sympathy and confidence for the struggling democratic government at Petrograd.
 The mission, it is understood, will have full powers of negotiation and will serve as Russian counterpart to the Amer ican mission now in Petrograd under the leadership of Elihu Root. Since it's de- parture about five weeks ago from the Russian capital, it has kept fully in touch with the situation by cable and wireless and is fully enough informed to discuss the situation in detail.

RUSSIAN SITUATION IS MUCH IMPROVED
 THINKS FRENCHMAN

Stockholm. June 1s-(Via London )-The situation in Russia has improved notice ably in the last two months, in the opin- ion of Albert Thomas, French minister of munitions, who with other entente rep resentatives of labor interest has been on mission to Petrograd. The coun- try's leadership is no longer dual in such great measure and the governments s power and influence has increased, MT. Thomas reported.
 The situation, according to the French minister's view, is still preca rious in many respects, but it is far from desper- ate. The influence of the agitator, Len inc, and his followers, is declining.
 MT. Thomas expressed the belief that the resumption of the Russian military offensive was quite possible unless unex- peeted things should happen. The great est danger to the government, he said lay in the German propaganda, which was conducted actively and in the most extensive proportions.

Along the Vardar and Morava valleys northward through Servia undoubtedly would prove easier ground over which to operate than northward along the Struma and through western Bulgaria to the junction of the railway at Sofia.

 Although on the eastern wing the Britt ish have given up numerous villages which they previously burned, they are holding tightly to the bridgehead position on the left bank of the River Struma in the Lake Tahinos-B -Butkovo sector, northeast of Saloniki That the retire. ment of the British was voluntary is i'm dicated by the Bulgarian official report dealing with the maneuver. which does not mention any fighting as having talk en place. There has, however, already been some activity on the part of the British in the vardar-Lake Doiran sec tor, but Sofia reports that the attempt made by them to advance near Dautli was repulsed.
 To the east of Arras on the front in France the British troops have been com pelled to fall back from advanced post lions before an attack delivered by the Germans which was covered by heavy bombardment. Otherwise there has been no fighting anywhere in France or Bel gium except by raidlng parties and by the artillery wings of the opposing forces.

Submarine Toll Since February " Is Shown
 In Report Of Admirably

Arrivals and sailings in British ports since the intensive submarine campaign began, have averaged about 25o0, includ- ing channel sailings.
 The British figures do not give the tonnage of vessels sunk, but officials here say that 5000 tons probably would be a fair average for vessels of more than 1900 tons destroyed. Computing the total at that average and putting the average of the smaller ships 1000 tons, the total loss during slightly less than four months submarine warfare would reach 1,745,ooo tons, or about 25o,Ooo tons less than the entire worlds shipping output during 1sD

President Wilson
 Warns Opponents
 of the Food Bill

Washington, June 1S.-Presfdent Wilson today in a letter to Repre- sentative BOrland concerning the administration food bills, warned opponents of the measures that they must be prepared to bear the responsibility of their defeat is they succeeded in accomplishing 1t.
 "A certain disservice has been done the measure by speaking of it as the food control bilI." wrote the President. "The object of the meas ure is not to control the food of the country but to release 1t from the control of speculntOrs and other persons who will seek to make in- ordinate profits out of it and to protect the people against the ex- tortiOns which would result.
 'It seems to me that those who oppose the measure ought very sc- ricusly to consider whether they are not playing into the hands of such persons and whether they are not making themselves responsible should they succeed for the extra ordinary and oppressive price of food in the United States. F0odstuffs will, of course, inevitably be high but it Is possible by perfectly IeEit- innate means to keep them from be- ing unreasonnbsy and oppressively high.
 Representative BorIand of Mis- souri made speech at the night session of the House denouncing attacks upon Mir. Hoover.
 sI am willing to trust the Pres ident's appointee,. Mir. BorIand said, "lrst. because he appointed him and, second, because Mir. HOov- er's record and achievements jus tify the confidence thus expressed.
 "It may be that the opposition is confined entirely to wind. hope so. I am willing at present to be- Iieve so. should hate to feel that there was a class of men in our ranks willing to shoot their own officers in the back"

Washington, June 1S.-(SpeciaI)-In connection with mobilization camps there are three items of interest to Alabama tonight;

 2. Representative Dent of the Mont gomery district, returning to Wash ington today. declares that General Wood will recommend that MOntgom- cry be selected as the training camp site for Alabama troops.
