HUGE AMOUNT Of
WORK To De DONE
IN REAR OF LINES

WASHINGTON, D, c., Aug. 21.-The
work which will be accomplished by
American engineers in France, &C
cording to engineering experts, will
play an important part in the winning
of the war. 1t is pointed out that there
VII be work in plenty for all the en-
gineers available. Engineers from
this country will be active in the re-
Mobilization of the devastated districts,
they will reconstruct bridges, repair
roads and highways which are essen
tial for the expeditions handling OF
supplies and ammunition, and will
perform various other services, many
of which will be within range of the
enemy's guns.
1t has been rumored that Major-Gen-
eral Cocktails, who recently resigned
as manager of the Emergency Fleet
Corporation, may head the work OF
American engineers in France. The
work which these men will perform IS
regarded as the actual fighting. The
following statement relative to opera
tions, projected and under way, to ac-
commodate American armies on their
foreign expeditions, was authorized ON
Tuesday by the Office of the chief en-

American engineers must undertake
large operations in the construction
and repair of bridges in France. They
must repair and mailman the roads
and highways over which our supplies
will be brought up to the battle line.
Much of the latter work will be done

BESSARABIA one
Of RUSS|A'S BEST
BORDER SECTIONS

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. I'll
With the fall of Czernowitz and the
capture of Chotin, the Central Powers
have entered the gates of Bessahabia,
one of Russia's richest provinces,
which lies between the Pruth and the
Dneister rivers, and which was taken
from Roumania in exchange for the
Dobrudja district. after one of Russia's
wars with Turkey. The following bull
lowing bulletin by the National Geo
graphic Society from its headquarters
here, gives an interesting picture of
this province, its history, its normal
activities, and its physical features.
"Bessarabia the Russian province
lying between the Pruth and the Dnis
ter River and bounded on the south by
the Danube and the Black Sea, might
be likened to tall, slim pitcher, with
out a handle. 1t is completely bounded
by water except at very narrow poin.
at the mouth of the pitcher. The Dneis-
ter River forms the eastern boundary
of the province. Flowing out of the
crown lands of Galicia, the river runs
east in general direction for approx.
imately fifty miles Then it turns
southeast for ninety miles as the crow
flies, and finally runs south of east for
a hundred miles to Dniester Bay an
arm of the Black Sea, some fifteen
miles from Odessa, Russia's principal
port on that inland body of water. The
Pruth River, following out Of Galicia,
runs east for about twenty miles, then
runs southeast for hundred and ten
miles and then slightly west of south
to it's confluence with the Danube.
"Bessarabia is little smaller than
Vermont and New Hampshire together
It's greatest length is 275 miles, while
its greatest width is 175. 1t is mostly
fiat, except for some well-wooded off
shoots of the Carpathian Mountains in
the northwest. 1t might be said to be
the vineyard of Russia, being great
producer of wine. The population Of
2 500, 900 is made up of Moldavians.
Little Russians, Poles, Roumanians,
Eulgarians, Jews, Armenians, Greeks,
ard Tartars. More than 100000 of
tue inhabitants live on the soil The
capital is Kishinef, which is located
almost at the center of the province,
To the west of Bessarabia lies Rou-
rqanian Moldavia, and to the east the
Eussian provinces of Podolia ami
Kherson.

On the other hand, an invading army
would be more than $50 miles from
its base at Lemberg, with very limite1
transportation facilities for its ration
ing and munitioning.
The original inhabitants of Bessar-
