Commanders for the new regiments
probably will be announced tomorrow.
Work Of recruiting the regiments will

While the regular engineer troops
or the army are among the best drilled
In the service. IL is improbable that
the new regiments will be subjected to
any lengthy military training. They
Will be given military organisation
only for the sake Of greater mobility
and efficiency. They will carry the
usual arms and equipment of engineer
troops, rifles and %bayonets; but their
real fighting will be done with the
complicated appliances and engines Of
railway operation or construction.
Supplemented by labor and skill
available in France. the nine regi-
ments represent a tremendous power Of
construction that would enable the
allies to remake their lines Of com.
m~unication in the shortest time pos
sible and fit them for the increasingly
heavy task Of supplying millions Of
fighting men as the battle lines push
forward.
The administrators action means that
American troops carrying the American
flag and in the uniform Of the American
army are soon to he IN French sofl. If
there is psychological value In such a
mission. as both French ara British COM
missions have urged, it will show itself
with the arrival in France of the first en-
gineer regiment.
1t will not be necessary to equip the
engineers with the tools Of their craft.
France and Britain can supply whatever
Is needed. probably. supplemented by adj
ditional American machinery of which
they have already secured n carried

will be the first American troops to be sent
to France. They will go at the earliest
possible moment the war department
announced to-day. for work on communi.
ton lines. but speculation as to exactly
when or to what the points they will be
sent is forbidden because of the subma-
rine menace.
The new force will be volunteers. raised
at the nine great railway centers of the
country. Each regiment will be COM
nanded by an engineer colonel Of the reg

Of between 11.0no and 1900 men zach regi-
uneint being composed Of W. battalions
Of three companies each. Every ranch
OF railway workers necessary to the
building or operation Of lines will be rep
scented In the ranks and the war depart
ment expects a esponse to the call that
will permit a careful selection to be exer-
cised and insure a force already trained

under the colonel of each regiment. Re-
cruiting machinery Of the regular serv-
ice or the National Guard will be placed
at their service and It is hoped that en-
rollment of the troops will take little
time. The recruiting points will be New
York, Chicago, st. Louis. Boston. Pitts
burg. Detroit. Atlanta. San Francisco and
Philadelphia.
Oficials believe the great railroad
brotherhoods will cooperate. throwing
the strength Of the unions behind the re-
cruiting efforts. The railway companies
already are so organized under the coun-
Gil of national defense that their CO.
operation Is assured. The engineers and
officials Of the lines who offer themselves
will be selected in such manner as not
to cripple the operating forces Of any
company.
The decision to send the engineers Is
