WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE quar-
termaster corps of the army yesterday
! announced that plans for the construc-

designated. There will be q total of

gins. Each one of these cantonments
win be fitted to receive and care for
full division, or approximately twenty
two thousand men. E-.
The quartermaster corps is also per
fecting arrangements for moving the
troops after they are turned into armies.
To move one army corps of approx.
mately 10000 men, technically known as
a division, will require, according to the
war department, railroad officials state,
6229 ears, made up into 366 trains, with
a like number of locomotives. In these
trains would be 2ll5 passenger coaches,
3S5 baggage ears, 1855 box cars, 1899
stock ears and 775 fat ears.
The equipment for each unit of this
army is as follows: E1.
Infantry Regiment--Fifty.f Off
GERS, 1890 men, III animals, 22 vehicles.
Cars Required-Forty-eight passenger
cars, baggage cars, Is box cars, 8
S5 cars.
Artillery Regiment, Mountain-Forty-
five officers, 1850 men,. 1929 animals, "a
guns.
Cars required: Thirty passenger cars,
7 baggage ears, 30 box cars, 81 stock
cars; total, l24 cars.
Artillery Regiment, Light-Forty five
officers, ll70 men, 1857 animals, 32 vehi-
clCs, - guns.
Cars required: Thirty.two passenger
cars, o baggage ears, 25 box cars, So
stock ears, 46 fiat ears; total, 10 cars.
Signal Corps, Field Battalion-Nine
officers, III men, 206 animals, l5 vehi,

Cars required: Six passenger ears, 3
baggage cars, 8 box ears, 10 stock cars,
5 fiat ears; total, % cars.
Cavalry Regiment-Fiftyf four off
GERS, 1884 men, l436 animals, 26 vehi,

cles, ~ guns. H.
Cars required: Thirty four passenger
cars, 10 baggage ears, 25 box ears, rs
stock ears, ~ fiat cars; total, 1874 cars.
1t will be seen from the above that
the heaviest drain will be on the pas
senger car equipment, the moving of one
such unit requiring four and two-tenths
per cent of the entire passenger car
equipment of the American railroads.
Only scven-tenths per cent of the mum,
Der of locomotives owned are required
and but two-tenths per cent Of the fiat
and box ear equipment, so that in an
handle approximately 100000 men and
emergency the American railroads could
their equipment at one time.

GRAIN FOR BOOZE
HEAVILY TAXED
BY PENDING BILL
DistiIIers Wall FranticaIIy That
Law Would Force Them To
Suspend Operations Or Go
Out Of Business Permanently
ASSOCIATED Press BY U. s. Naval Com

WASHINGTON, June Is -
A new tax of sixty cents to a
dollar hundred pounds on all
grain used i'll distilled alcoholic
beverages was Yesterday agreed
upon by the senate finance COM
mittee which has the war tax bill
under consideration. This action
of the committee was taken in the
face of and despite the vigorous
protests of the distillerS who de-
clared that such a tax will unques-
tionably force distilleries in all
parts OF the country to go out of
business or at least temporarily
suspend while the law is in oper-
alton. ...5'. ~.
. Another drastic provision which
the committee yesterday agreed
upon was the prohibition of all
imports of all distilled alcoholic
beverages from other countries,
The action taken by the senate
committee has brought gloom
into the ranks of the liquor inter
ests which have been fighting ev-
cry step in the direction of pro-
hibition of or further restriction
upon the liquor traffic. 1T has Civ
en- unqualified satisfaction to the
dry advocates who hail it as par
tial victory at least and a long step
toward national prohibition. They
voice the belief that once the inn
portation of distilled liquors is
prohibited by law it will be i'm
possible for the liquor interests to
ever again wipe that law from the
statute books.
lhe agreement on these import
ant provisions by the senate COM
mittee is considered in legislative
circles to pave the way to a final
agreement on food legislation.
What is regarded here as signal
triumph for the advocates Of food leg
islation as urged by the administration
and Food Director Hoover, was the an
nounremcnt last night that Samuel
GOmpers, a member of the National De.
fCnse Council and president of the
American Federation of Labor, has
formally called upon the federation to
back the administration plans for food
con;rO oil. Mr.. GOmpers has urged that
tn" enormously powerful organization
of the federation get behind the cam
paigr for food control, and bring what
pressure it can to bear upon congress
beth collectively and individually.
Dispatches from London also urged
fOod control in this country. 4 tele
gram from the British capital last night

British cabinet and labor leader of
the United Kingdom, as saying that the
British wOrkingmen are vitally inter

NJ EW YORK, June 15--Batter-
~ ed by the fierce artillery
fire Of the British under Field
Marshal Haig, the German forces
on the western front are reeIing
and their defenses are crumbIing
with increasing rapidity. Des-
patches from the British head
quarters last night announced
still further important gains in
the vicinity of Messines, where
the last Of the famous "BIoody
Angle" is disappearing under the
sledge hammer strokes OF the
Allied gunners.
The Germans apparently are
unwilling to meet the attacks of
the British and are avoiding bat
tie whenever possible with the
victorious attacking forces. East
and south of Messines last night
the British were busy consoIidat-
ing their deep gains over more
than two miles of front, WreSted
from the enemy in the fighting of
yesterday.
The importance and signifi-
canoe Of this gain was summed
up in a statement issued last
night by General Maurice, of the
British war office in which that
officer declared that the British
attack on the Messine sector is
by far the most important and
successful Allied offensive in the
war, and comparatively cheap in
the cost of men. This he added
was due in large measure, if not
entirely, to the enormous super
iority which the British have won
for their gunners and airmen by
their steady preparation of the
last three years. He also as
serted that the last few days
have proved to the British high
command that the British armies
are capable of ousting the Ger
mans from their trenches, when
ever, by preparation they have
maSSed sufficient guns and men
TO turn the trick.
The Germans yesterday retreated on
two mile front south of Warncton,
which crosses the first line between the
River Lys and Saint Yves This was
but part Of the retreat, however, for
the Germans also lost ground due east
Of Messines. Hemet and Gaspard, two
important points fell into British hands
These towns lying east of Messines be.

and east of Ploegstreete, give command
of positions which seriously menace the
German forces holding the important
town of Warneton.

terday were engaged in fierce artil.

French sectors were quiet. The bonn
bardment in Flanders, however, is

In the eastern fronts both Russian
aud Rumanian forces remained quiet,

Rurds in the Caucasus, in an effort to
cut the Russian lines Of communication.
