DIRECTING CAMP CONSTRUCTION
 DENOUNCES RUMORS
Colonel LitteIl Says Pub lished Stories of Big Prof its and Injury to Busi-
 ness PerniciOus

Washington, July IA statement de- nouncing published charges of immense profits in cantonment construction as ridiculous and extremely pernicious'' was issued tonight by Col. I. W. Littell. in charge of cantonment building for the war department.
 Under such headings as government hurting business disturbing the labor market etc." said Colonel Littell, "a series of editorials. and news items are appearing which are founded almost en- tirely upon falsehood, and the influence of which is extremely pernicious. They charge in effect that the contractors for the cantonments are paying more for ma terial and for labor than is necessary in order that they may thereby increase the profit to themselves. which is figured upon the basis of percentage on the cost of the operation; and they imply that this office is doing nothing to pre- vent this deliberate fraud on the part of the contractors.
 MOTIVE OF ARTICLES
 Such articles are written either with a reckless disregard of truth or a de- liberate purpose to hamper the govern ment in this work. The contractors for. building cantonments were chosen with
 
 tained in each contract which prevents the contractor from making any depar- ture from the standard rate of wages being paid in the locality where the work Is being done without the consent and approval of the government The prices paid for the various materials which go into the construction must by the terms of the contract, receive the approval of responsible representatives of the gov ernment before any purchase is made. All material is carefully inspected both al to quality and amount, and an accu- rate record of the hours of labor of every employe on the job is made by representatives of this office.
 RUSH WORK
 ''Of course, the calling of approxi- mately 100000 men to build these canton- ments must necessarily, disturb the labor market in the localities from which they are called Some inducements must be 1 offered employees to do this temporary l rush work, which in most cases must ] be done at a distance from their homes. l Consequently an increase in wage is | about the only method that can be em- | ployed to secure the necessary number ! of mechanics and laborers. However, 1 it has rarely been found necessary to 1 consent to the increase of wage more l than 10 per cent above the prevailing 1 rate in any locality"

GERMANY HAS MASSEO HER
GREATEST ARMY or THE
WAR.
,Hs Associated prss..,

WASHINGTON. Dec. l0.--Germany
has massed her greatest army of the
war on the western front. Secretary
OF War Baker declares In his weekly
war review. He says the United
States must speed up preparations to
meet the menace and warns that the
enemy is preparing TO put into exc.
cution in France plans that have
been maturing since the defeat of the
Russian armies at Tannenberg early
in the war.
He asserts the German counter-of
fensiye at Cambria regained less than
a third OF the territory General Byng
captured, but adds that Germany In
parrying the thrust emphasizes the
"reyiving strength of the Germans
in the west"
1T is not sufficient for US to pre-
pare to fight; we must prepare to
win" he says Our declaration OF
war against Austria associates us inn
medlately with the struggle in Italy,
The armistice negotiations on the
Russian front cover the entire line
from the Baltic to the Black sea
and the region of the Caucasus"
