WASHINGTON, May 10.-Nine new
regiments Of army engineers, to be
composed exclusively of highly trained
railway men, will be the first Ameri
can troops to be sent to France. They
will go "at the earliest possible mo
ment," the War Department announced
Monday, for work on communication
lines, but speculation as to exactly
when or to what points they will be
sent is forbidden because OF the sub
marine menace.
The new forces will be volunteers
raised at the nine great railway cen
tiers Of the country. Each regiment
viii be commanded by an Engineer
Colonel OF the regular army, aided By
Al Adjutant All other officers will be
railway engineers or officials.
The expedition will have a total
strength of between 1900 and $4,000
men, each regiment being composed
of two battalions of three companies
each.
Every branch Of railway workers
necessary to the building or operation
of lines will be represented in the
ranks, and the War Department ex
poets a response TO the call that Will

PROGRESS IN PROBLEM OF

WASHINGTON, DC, May 10.-First
hand information as to progress made
By the Naval Consulting Board to-
ward finding means to combat the Ger
man submarine was given Secre-
tary Daniels, when the board 5
subcommittee dealing with this sub
jet came to Washington for con-
ference with Navy Department Off
Gals. - i

Board. whose statements In New York,
Saturday indicated a belief that the
problem was nearing solution, will &C.
company the subcommittee, whose
members are Lawrence Addicks, Thoa.
Robbins. Elmer A. Sperry and Benh-
min Thayer.
Secretary Daniels talked with Board
members and arranged the confer.
eDce. No definite announcement is
expected to follow the meeting. The
Secretary repeatedly has indicated tina,
even q complete solution OF the prob.
lem would have to become known first
through actual operation. No navy
official would admit that he knew OF
any specific scheme evolved by the
Board, and Mr.. Saunders statements
apparently were regarded as indicating
only that results had been obtained
which would justify experimental WORT
on a larger scale.
