One significant fact is that tha
English soldiers have suffered much
less from this disease than the
French troops. This probably is be-
cause tuberculosis was less frequent
among the English people before the
war than among the French. due to
better anti-tuberculosis work IN Eng
land. and partly because the English
army was mobilized more slowly and
most consumptives were welded out
by medical examiners.

FACE BIG TASK
TO AID ARMIES
Work in France Equal to
That on the Panama
Canal.

Washington, Aug. 1-Engineeriug
work approaching the magnitude of
the construction of the Panama Canal
Is about to be done in France by the
Engineer Corps of the army The
scope Of these operations, as explain
ed yesterday by Gen. William M
Black Chief of the Engineers of the
Army, will cover the building of a
railroad system greater than that in
some states Of this country, the con-
struction of docks and terminals
which would do credit to many
American ports, the construction and
operation of huge electrical plants
and pumping stations and water sup
ply system sufficient to supply several
large cities.
The plans for this tremendous en-
cheering undertaking in France are
already drawn and the material is
now being purchased in this country.
The railroad material and rolling
stock for the contemplated system
will cost about five times that of all
purchases made annually for the
Panama Canal.
The cost of the Panama Canal up
to the time it was opened for traffic
was approximately $375,000,000. 1t
required 10 years in the building, tho
Canal Zone strip having been taken
over May 4, 1904, and the work being
pronounced complete August 15,
1914. If army engineering in France
is to cost this country five times as
much as was spent yearly ON the
Panama Canal it will mean an an
nual outlay of $1s7, 100000.
The French railroad system cannot
undeStake the transportation of the
American armies. The American rail-
road system which the Engineer Corps
is about to build in France will run
from the seaboard to the front and
will transport both the troops and
handle an transportation Of supplies.
as well as the removal of the wound
ed and the salvage gathered from the
battlefield.
The engineers are also preparing to
repair and maintain roads and high
ways over which supplies will be
brought to the battle line. Much of
the latter work will be done within
range of the enemy guns. The same
street and road equipment as is used
in leading American cities will be
shipped for this purpose.
The equipment of the wharves and
piers in France utilized by American
FORCES Win the terminal IdSAiAeASS ~
ouired will Of itself be an immense
operation. The lumber for this work
will be cut from European forests by
regiments of American foresters.
Experts are already in France
studying the water supplies problem.

will stay will be piped as is done I'M
der an American city system.
The battlefield illumination with
search1ights, trench lights. flares, star
bombs and rifle grenades is to be
handled by the Engineer Corps using
appliances of American manufacture.

Hans Sulzer, the new minister to
the United States from Switzerland,
will have his hands full handling the
vexed question aof the regulation of ex-
ports by the United States so that
nothing American reaches Germany.
Mr.. Sulzer is well qualified by training
to handle this matter. He is not a
diplomat by training, but business
man and member of one of the most
prominent and oldest families in
Switzerland. After studying law he
received practical commercial training
In banking houses in Basel, Switzerz
land, and Rome, Italy. Later on he
made a prolonged sojourn at New
castle on-Tyne, England. He also un-
dertook commercial study trips to
South and Central America, as well as
to the United States.
Since the outbreak of the war Mr..
Sulzsr has occupied himself particu-
lar1y with import and export ques-
tons, and as vice president Of the
Swiss metal syndicate he also acted as
co-counselor in questions relating to
the obtaining of raw materials for the
machinery industry. He succeeds DR..
Paul Ritter.

THE AUTOMATIC STOP

Regret is expressed by the Railway
Age Gazette that the system of auto
matte train stops is not being adopted
more rapidly. The Chicago and East
ern Illinois Is said to have operated it
very successfully. The excuse given
is that it would be expensive, that new
issues of stock and bonds would De
required, and that the railroads are
not allowed to have rates that make
it possible to sell securities on favor
able basis.
The public is keenly anxious to have
all possible safety appliances installed.
Yet it recognizes that these things cost
a lot of money that must be paid for
in rates Whether the public would
be willing to allow sufficient rate adj
vances to allow a general installation
of automatic stop devices is possibly
open to question.
The chances are that with present
high prices for everything, we must
get along with old fashioned methods
for a time longer After all, the cease
less cultivation of the quality of hui
man vigilance will bring results in the
long run. The accident record on the
railroads in past years was due only
in part to lack of equipment. It is
due quite as much to certain tenn
peramental carelessness running
through American life.
No railroad operation can be put on
a sound basis except by a persistent
policy of encouraging vigilance. and
not taking chances. The operating
heads must get right down out Of
their stuffed Office chairs. and among
their men in the railroad yards and
engine cabs, and talk Safety First to
them.
Then the spirit Of discipline must
be maintained. There must be some
f1rmness and decision and men tenn
peramentally untitled for railroading
must be allowed to go into other
fields where they will do less harm
AS the years go on, the railroads
| should set aside each year some sums
| for new safety appliances, which
ought to include automatic stop de.
| vices, but meanwhile discipline and
| education are quite as important and
much less costly.

Method Of Drying
Fruit Products

TO avoid the loss Of juice, cherries
should be dried without removing the
pits, says today's bulletin from the
National Emergency Food Garden
commission, which is conducting ma
tionwide campaign for the prevention
of waste of the food resources of the
country.-Wash carefully, remove sur
face moisture by pouring on a paper
and then spread on trays in single
layers to dry. Drying by artificial
heat will require from two to four
hours.
Peaches and apricots should be
dipped in boiling water until the skin
slips, cold-dipped for moment,
Place pit side up on trays for dry
ing.
Plums may be washed, cut in
halves and the pits removed, and
then treated the same as peaches.
Apples, pears, and ounces should
be pared, cored and sliced To pre-
vent dtscoloration, dip the slices of
fruit for a moment directly into cold
water containing an ounce of salt to
the gallon. If preferred, the whole
fruit may be cored after pee1ing and
then cut cross-wise into rings, these
rings being dipped into the salted
water as above. Do not let fruit re-
main in the water more than a few
minutes. Remove surface moisture
and place on drying trays in single
layers. After slicing, pears and
ounces may be steamed for ten min
utes before drying.
Dry all fruits till leathery and pill
able but not until brittle. Properly
dried fruits should be free from mois.
ture when pressed between tho Fin
gers.
All dried products must be condi-
toned for several days before storing
by pouring from one box to another
Nor several days to mix thoroughly
