You should have the school arrange
a special banner. and every boy and

ferent and cold about school matters.
So let us do all in our power to wake
these people up and give US their NOR

enjoys a good address. we will have it,
if he enjoys a good foot race. etc, we
will have that and if he enjoys good
singing. good spelling and the other
events that will be in the contest
he will have spent a good day.

Work of American
Engineers to Cost
Billion in 1919
General Block Estimates
Needs for Equipment
and Construction

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Engineer OPP
erations. including the equipment Of
the corps and railroad and other con-
struction for the expeditionary force in
France, will cost nearly 100000, 900
IN 1919.
The exact estimate made public to-
day in the annual report OF Major Cen
eral William Black, chief of engineers,
is 1892 1000, 900 and is based on provid-
ing for the engineer operations Of
100000 men.
Equipment Of the engineers with the
regular necessary appliances is esti-
mated at S135,0O0,oOO. For this work
this year Congress appropriated s1,l74,-
GOO. but a deficiency Of S12,10O,OOO was
incurred in Quitting the ten special
railway regiments alone. One OF these
regiments helped stem the German as
saults on the British front at Cambria
this week
Congress provided S94 100000 for en-
cineer operations this year, but de-
fciency items totalling S186,000,OOO
have been submitted, the report says.
"for construction work to be accom-
plished by the force in France
The report shows that equipment for
seventy divisions, or approximately
100000 men, was purchased within
$50 hours after the declaration of war,
including 100000 articles, among them
four miles of pontoon bridges. Every
unit sent to France took its full en-
gineer equipment with it.

Names Advisers of
Defence Council
[.Stnf CotrespOndencci

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-The Cham
Der of Commerce of the United States
to-day presented to the Council of Ma
tional Defence the personnel OF some
of the new war trades committees which
are to cooperate with the government
in the discussion Of questions affecting
their several industries.
These committees will displace the
original Council of Defence advisory
committees in large degree. Their
creation became necessary on account
of adverse criticism directed at the
council by members of Congress be-
cause of the presence on government
advisory committees of men financially
interested in contracts which came be-
fore the several advisory committees
for approval.
Although there was no hint of scandal
in this connection at the time, never
theless the dual capacity of business
men serving on the council subordinate
bodies furnished a legitimate ground
for criticism. Recognizing this, Direc-
tor Clifford Immediately undertook the
elimination of the advisory units, at the
same time urging the several industries
and trades to name committees to as
sist and take counsel with the govern
ment on matters pertaining to their in
dustrial and business activities.
The National Chamber of Commerce,
cooperating with the council has been
arranging the personnel of the several
new committees. In a report to the
War Industries Board to-day the ma
tional chamber proposed the following
men as chairmen of the trades COM
mittees thus far organized:
Bridge buiders-John Sterling Deans.
