Construction Work
of CantOnlnent Begun
at American Lake

Tacoma, Wash, July 2S,--The great
machine at the American
Lake army post was thrown into high
gear today with the starting of the
sixth week OF actual work on the can
tonment, which must be ready to re-
eeive division Of the conseript army
on September |.
The first buildings Of the fourth and
last infantry brigade of the canton
ment were started this morning and the
work on the three already under way
speeded up to the point where the
growth Of structurs was fairly visual
lied as one watched. Twelve hundred
and helpers wore at work, in
addition to 500 laborers working on wa.
ter and sewer systems, another crew of
$50 busy on railroad construction, with
nearly 100 big trucks distributing ma
terials.
The one cloud on tho horizon is the
possibility Of famine in lumber, due
to the closing down Of logging camps
and mills through I. w. w. strikes.
Some of the large timbers needed are
not even in lumber stocks Of the mills
and must be cut, it is reported.

tions and hit the mark at which they
were aimed The French soldiers pre-.
dict the Americans will be champion
bombers on the western front.
The American ability in this diree.
tion has aroused the French troops to
great interest in baseball. Every day
the Sammies are patiently tutoring
their friends in the game. They have
had to start with first principles Of
toss and catch.
In football the men of the two
armies are more nearly matched. To-
day the first of series of internation-
al games between crack poilu team
and one made up Of American Sammies
was arranged. t
One reason for the splendid condition
of the Sammies and the minimum of
sickness at the camp is the systematic
daily inspection. Every bed is summed
and hundreds of soldiers vigorously
WELD shovels and brooms in ''polic-
ing" their quarters every morning.
Medical officers, held regular lecture
course, explaining to the men the neces-
sity for physical cleanliness.

FIRE N CALIFORNIA
NOW UNDER CONTROL
Hard Fight In SOnOnla Coun-
ty Wins Three Persons
Missing

Santa Rosa, Cal, July 25.-Three are
missing today and believed to be dead
as result Of the fires burning through
Sonoma county forests since last Fri
day. After nearly four days battling
against the flames, the fires are pfac-
tically under control.
All of those believed dead are frora
the Guerneville section. L. Bevens, an
aged man, and his son, who lived alone
in cabin near the Mount Shasta mine
have not been seen since Saturday
morning and returning fire fighters re-
port that the Bevens cabin has been
destroyed and their mine fire swept.
William Gray, after fighting fire
since Friday afternoon, started for his
home in Guerneville Sunday morning,
over the burned area. He has not reach
ed Guerneville and searchers have found
no trace of him, easing the fear that he
was trapped in sudden flare-up Of the
fire.
Reports from Healdsburg and Guerne-
