a program as an attempt to insist

Junction, or Admiral, which also was
selected late yesterday by the War
Department, is about 100 miles nearer
the Capital than the Petersburg site.
The Pennsylvania troops will be
mobilized outside that State and the
present plan is to send one division
of that States troops to Annapolis
Junction and the other to wrights-
town, n. J.
Selection of Petersburg and An
napolis Junction as cantonment sites
means that $4,000 troops, comprising
more than two division, will be train
ed within a radius of 100 miles OF the
National Capital. There is a third
camp in the fifth division at Wrights-
town, the fifth being the only division
with more than one camp.
Total of 100000.
With the engineer and field artill-
cry troops being raised at Fort Myer
and Washington Barracks, this con-
script army OF $4,000 in the camps at
Petersburg and Annapolis Junction
will be swelled into a force Of 100000

ton.
The selection of the last Of the six
teen cantonments made, the War De
partment will embark on its greatest
building project since army engineers
built the Panama canal.
In the next twelve weeks lhe army,
through private contractors, must
build sixteen towns, each with more
than 900 houses and all the improve
ments found In modern cities, each
town to house an army OF 10000, or
more than 600 900 in the aggregate.
Each cantonment will be city in IL
self, with streets, blocks, sewers.
electric lights. railroad yards, water
lines and garbage incinerators, in ad'
ditIon to the buildings. These build
ings will be barracks for 10000 men
in each cantonment, hospitals, store
houses, stables, and shops, all built
on sites that now are but meadow and
grove.
LIGHTED with Electricity.
There will be approximately 1000
buildings in each cantonment. Ths
typical company barracks will be q
two-story structure built Of wooden
frame covered with matched boards
The roofs will be of prepared roofing
All will be electric lighted. The can
tonments in the North will be steam
heated. Those in the South will be
heated with stoves. Each will nave o
kitchen and mess hall. The men In
the cantonments will sleep in doubls
hunks.
Awarding of contracts, laying out
the cantonments by town planners and
landscape architects and construction
of railroad sidings TO haul in the 4.00d
carloads Of material which each camp
will require will be the next step
Construction will go on with a rush
when the preliminaries are completed
As an illustration OF this army

company barracks put up under the
first contract awarded was completed
in an hour and twenty minutes after
the first nail was driven.

Despite war conditions, the prices of meats
have not risen proportionately with those of
other necessities. Wilson & Co.'S wholesale
prices on dressed beef in the city of Washing
ton the week of June 10, 1919, was 1875 cents
per pound; for the same week in 1917, 1915
cents per pound, an increase of little over
2 cents per pound.
Meat makes bone and muscle. Meat is
nourishing food. There is no reason for deny
ing yourself and family this needed food, when
not only healthful, nutritious but savOry, appe-
tizing dishes, "like mother used to make" are
to be had at lou cost.
The cheaper cuts of meat are of much better
quality today than when we were young.
Instead of range cattle, tough and wiry, they
are from plump, specially bred and specially
fed yearling beef. Try some of the cheaper
cuts-the round, chuck or flank-cook them
as mother used to cook them.

Lists of Contraband Articles Reco5-
nized BY U. S. Differ Widely From

Washington.-The American gov
ernment began preparations 70 arm
American merchantmen against Ger
many's ruthless submarine warfare
Shipowners have been notified Of
President Wilson's decision that lie
has full legal authority to proceed
with the policy.
When vessels said under the policy
of armed neutrality they will DO so
with the support of the administration
expressed in the form of war risk
insurance and naval guns and gun
ners. In the background will be the
entire resources of the United States
ready for action should Germany at
tack an American armed ship in vio-
lation of the warning of the American
government.
The State Departments view Of de-
fensive armament is that the mere
appearance of German submarine or
its periscope near an American armed
vessel will entitle the vessel TO take
all measures of protection on the pre-
sumption that the submarines pur-
pose is hostile. This is based on Ger
manys announcement that her subma-
rines will attack without warning any
belligerent or neutral merchantmen
encountered within the barred zone.
Whether this position will be en-
bodied in instructions to commanders
Of American armed ships and wheth-
er arms and ammunition will be fur

President Wilson's attitude has been
that no steps of belligerent charac-

international law Some officials close
to the president believe that in line
with this policy the United States

Since the policy of the government
in the past has been not to insure ves-
sells carrying arms and ammunition to
the belligirents, it has been consid
cred probable that this attitude will
be maintained. The lists of contra
band articles recognized by the Unit
ed States differ widely from those
drawn up by the belligerents since
the outbreak of the war and therefore
it is believed that only actual muni-
tions of war will be placed on the re-
stricted list for the purpose of de-
termining what ships are to be ill

EXTRA SESSION IS
BELIEVED CERTAIN
WILL BE CALLED BY JUNE 1T is
NOW CONCEDED AMONG
OFFICIALS.

WashingtOn.-An extra session OF
Congress not later than June is now
generally conceded among officials
here to be assured.
Although President Wilson has not
given any definite indication that he
has finally abandoned his hope that IN
extra session might be avoided. there
is an almost unanimous sentiment
among senators, representatives ana
officials of the executive departments
that one must be called. They de-
clare that even if the international
situation does not demand it, Congresj
must come back to complete its legis-
lative program and fill up gaps in the
governments financial scheme cauS-
ed by failure OF some of the more
important appropriation measures.
So certain are many members OF
Congress on this point that they are
speculating only on the probable date
OF the session. The general expecta-
tion among them. said to be based on
word passed out by officials close 20
the president, is that the end of May
or some time in June will be selected
as the time for the convening of the
new Congress.
The progress made by senators to-
ward carrying out the presidents rec
ommendation for a rule limiting Sen
ate debate generally was regarded as
he lil-n1ihnnd nf q
cial session within a few weeks. 1t
is pointed out that in his statement
the president conveyed the impress
sion by implication that such a revi-
sion of Senate rules would be a step
preliminary to bringing Congress back
to finish its program. After enume-
rating the important measures which
had failed, the statement continued
that sit would not cure the difficulty
to call the Sixty-fifth Congress in ex-
traordinary session" unless the par
liamentary barrier to action in the
Senate were removed.
Should the Senate limit debate and
the presidents legal advisers decide
he has no authority to arm ships
without congressional authorization,
the armed neutrality bill undoubtedly
would take place among the measures
to be pressed by the administration
at an extra session. 1t might be
urged even il it were held unneces-
sary from legal standpoint, in order
to line up Congress behind the pres
ident and wipe out the adverse i'm
preston which Mr. Wilson believes
has resulted in some quarters from
the Senate's failure to act in the ses-
sion just closed.
But aside from the international
crisis the breaking down of the ad-
ministration's legislative program is
regarded by many officials as an i'm
perative reason for an extra session.
There will be many flaws in the gov
ernment's financial and defense
schemes unless some emergency ac-
ton is taken because Of failure of the
big supply measures, particularly the
army and general deficiency bills.
