them appealed to me more than this
one. I consider it not only a privi-
lege, but a patriotic duty to con-
tribute as frequently as I possibly
can to the fund to buy smokes for
American soldiers. The Washington
Times is to be most heartily com
rnended for this splendid enterprise"
Woman Happy to Help"
A woman contributor wrote the fol-
lowing:
Enclosed please find check for IS
for smokes for twenty OF our boys
somewhere in France I am so hap
py to be able to help along such
cause as furnishing tobacco for our
soldiers overseas. 1t sounds like
smiles and chummy condolences and
thoughts Of home and peace, and,
somehow, IT takes ones thoughts
away from the horrible side OF war
for an instant just to think OF our
boys smoking"
This letter sounds the keynote Of
the enterprise undertaken by The
Washington Times Tobacco Fund. II
IS not only the thought of how happy
the smokes will make our soldiers
overseas, but also the consciousness Of
the contributors that they have been
responsible for making the khaki-clad
boys comfortable and contented, that
will prompt donations to this fund.
Aside from this. there is the ma
terial side of the proposition. which
doubtless will appeal to all men and
women who know anything OF COM
mercial values and bargains.
Under an especially generous ar
rangement with the American Tobac-
90 Company. The w -Iington Times
is enebled to purchase IS cents worth
of tobacco and cigarettes for each IS
cents contributed.
All Goes for Tobacco.
Besides this actual saving OF 20
cents to the contributor or the SOL
der. all cost of packing and transpor-
fation has been eliminated. Each cent
contributed will be exclusively for to-
hacco.
Another big advantage Of contrib
uting to this fund is that there will
be no doubt about the smokes reach
Ing the boys in France. If a package
Of tobacco were sent by an Individual
there might arise all sorts Of COM
plications because Of the French regu-
lations prohibiting the importation
Of ''smokables." The Washington
Times Tobacco Fund has had these
regulations suspended for contrib
Htors to this fund.
By contributing to this fund you
will not only feel that you have per
formed a kindly service but you will
be told that you have done so. In
side each packet Of smokes to be sent
overseas by The Washington Times
Tobacco Fund will be placed a postal
card addressed to you. On it the
soldier will write his thanks and mail
It back to you.

name in the list OF donors may cause

MEADE ON SEPT. )
eao1o urOTNwOo Dic.unoERyyeoo

Latest orders received by District
draft officials direct that only 1 per
cent Of the District OF Columbia's
quota, or eleven men, be sent to Camp
Meade on September 8. A similar num-
Der will report at the camp on each OF
the four following days. After 8 per
cent of the Districts quota has re
ported at the cantonment camp, no
more will be sent until September 10.
On that day 40 per cent more will
report.
The first per cent to report next
week will be selected because OF
especial qualifications. Draft officials
have been instructed to pick men who
can cook and men who would make
good non-commissiOned officers. The
men first on the scene will be put to
work Immediately getting the Dis
trict's section at the camp in readi-
ness for the soldiers-to-be who are TO
follow them two weeks hence.
The same rules will apply to all the
conscript camps throughout the coun-
try, the delay in mobilization being
caused by the simultaneous movement
of the national guard and inability OF
the railroad to handle both large con
tingents at the same time.

Work is progressing rapidly on the

cofferdam has been moved from one

and sounding apparatus which will
test the bottom on which the piers
are to rest. This work has been
nearly completed. and the engineers
have found satisfactory bottom.
The cofferdams will be made of
steel. As q result of war demands,
It has been impossible to obtain deliv-
cries on this material, and work will

plan of using the fabricated steel

These mosquitoes" said a Govern

Experience proves that the mosqui-
