Draft Census Boards
Named by Mitchell

Complying with instructions from
Federal and state authorities, Mayor
Mitchell yesterday appointed a central
board of control and five borough
boards to take the Federal selective
census for military service on June 8
and the state census from June IL
to 20.
In appointing the boards the Mayor
explained that they were so composed
as to have a physician. lawyer, a
representative of labor, a business man
and a man engaged in charity or relief
work on each board. For the present
these boards will be confined to the
work of carrying out the registration
as provided for in the Federal law.
Whether they will serve as exemption
boards is yet to be- determined The
Mayor said, however. that the selec-
tions were made to secure men of such
character and ftne8 as to qualify them
for the work of exemption.

Reserve Engineers
Show Their Skill
First Day in Field
Men Who Will Repair
French Roads Build Camp
Near Fort Totten

Picked artisans, who make up Com
pany A. First Reserve Engis>ers. were
given an opportunity TO show their
skill in the manipulation of tools yes
terdsy afternoon. when they were
dropped from automobiles in driz-
cling rain on water-soaked grounds
near Fort Totten, Long Island.
The men. who had left jobs in fac
tories and Offices in New York the pre-
vious day. were confronted with piles
of lumber. canvas and raw provisions,
and realization that they would have
neither food nor shelter until they had
prepared them for their own use. With
in five minutes saws and axes were in
motion. Two hours later everything
but the completion of drain trenches
and similar frlls of camp existence
marked the industry of the engineer
soldiers.
"The men have fallen into their
tasks in fine style, and am well pleased
with the outlook" said Captain II.
w. Hudson. who was in charge of the
camp in the absence of Colonel c. II.
McKistry.
Regulars from the fort turned ad-
miring eyes upon the work of the men
who hope soon to be reconstructing
railroads of France and Belgium that
were destroyed in the first rush Of
Germans earlier in the war. But the
volunteer soldiers had little time for
fraternizing, since their task was hard
~ begun.
Company A is the first OF six com
panies who make up the engineers or
ganization, all of which will be en-
camped on the grounds near Fort Tot
ten within two weeks. The company
consists of 165 men experienced in
carpentry. metal work and other trades
that would fit them for their especial
task of railroad building.
AS soon as the government can sup
ply the engineers with necessary sup
| plies they will move over to a reserva-
ton provided for them at Great Neck
1t is probable that they will remain
there for military practice for month
or six weeks. 1t is thought-by the
optimistic members. at any rate-that
they will then sail for France.

Government Gets
Camp Lumber at
Reduced Figure
From The Tribune Bureau


Washington, May 22.-The Council
Of National Defence to-day announced
the negotiation of contracts with lead
ing lumber dealers of the country
whereby the government will secure
lumber for the construction of the new
army cantonment camps at price
averaging from SO to So less than the
prevailing market prices in the various
sections from which the lumber will
be shipped.
These contracts are drawn on the
basis of a varying maximum price, ac-
cording to the cost of production In
different sections of the country and
the grade of lumber involved.
The elastic arrangements which have
been agreed upon between the lumber
men and the lumber committee Will
leave the government entire freedom OF
choice to buy lumber from whatever
firms it wishes, and at better prices, II
possible. At the same time contractors
purchasing direct on emergency prof.
ects will have at their disposal through
the government agencies the names of
dealers with whom they can deal to the
best advantage.
The committee on lumber is now con-
centratng its efforts on assisting in
arranging a proper apportionment Of
the lumber supply in the different can
Torment districts in oroer to fill the or
ders of the contractors for each can
Torment from the nearest available
source of supply. and thus avoid un-
necessary transportation charges.
Twelve million feet of lumber will
be required for each standard canton
ment unit of $4,000 men, although the
size will vary. The total which will
be needed for all government under
takings, including the Shipping Boards
programme, aviation school buildings.
navy requirements and aircraft and
building. will probably be about 1,50o,-
5000 feet.

TR|PLEPLAYWAS
FIRST Of kind
NLOCAL BALL

Honolulu baseball fans are still!
talking about the great triple play
made by the Filipinos on Sunday IN
the twelfth inning OF the game with
the Chinese. This was the first triple
play to be made in Honolulu, without
the ball being hit, according to all
records which can be obtained. The
writer has seen triple plays, but never
one where the ball was not hit
1t is doubtful II the same play has
been made many times anywhere. 1t
was pulled off so quick, and in place
where it was needed and caused the
crowd to go wild. The stands cheered
for fully a minute after the play was
made. Some quick thinking on the
part of Marcial saved the game for the
Filipinos in this inning.
The Chinese batter had the signal
for the hit and run, and Tan Lo on
third was caught flat footed by King
and Batong. King gave the ball to
Marcial, who caught a runner asleep
off second, and then threw home and
caught the runner from second trying
to score. This play surely saved the
game as the Chinese had some heavy
hitters coming up.
