s. ENGINEERS
 GREAT AID TO
 GENERAL CAREY

With the American Army in France, April 18.-(By the A P.)-Reports just received at the American army headquarters from British command CTS give the first definite information that American Engineering corps in large numbers were among the forces hastily assembled from all branches of the service by Major General Carey for his improvised army which filled the gap in the line made by the Ger mans at the opening of their offensive last month. The American Engineers were at work constructing and operat- ing field railroads and building bridges.
 Three companies of an engineering regiment were caught in the early bombardment and were ordered to fall back. To one of the American companies, which had been consoli- dated with the British royal en- gineers, was delegated the task of guaranteeing the destruction of an en- gineer dump which it had been de- cided to abandon.
 This detachment destroyed all the material, made rapid retreat. caught up with the larger group and imme- diately resumed work, laying out trenches. These operations lasted from March 22 to 27. As the Ger man attack became more intense the engineers were joined by cooks, order lies and railroad men as part of Gen. Carey's forces.
 The commanding officer of an American regiment took charge of an infantry sub-sector and directed the action of his troops for one week until the emergency has passed at that point. To this officer Gen. Raw linson, commanding the British army engaged in that sector, sent a com~ mandatory letter.
 The report of the gallant conduct of the Americans on the British front has caused Gen. Pershing to send the following letter to the engineering command:
 The commander in chief has noted with great satisfaction the fine con- duct of the officers and men of your regiment during the recent German offensive. as testified by British army commanders"

By heroically sticking to their posts William zeigler, en- gineer, and John Hanley, fire man, on the tug Isis, averted an explosion and saved from death or injury the balance of the crew when the vessel sank at the City Ice & Coal Company's dock this morning about 7 o'clock, through being over loaded on one side with coal.
 The two men only quit their posts in the engine room when peremptor- fly ordered to do so by Captain Jo- seph Green, who was only taken off his boat when the wheel house was awash.
 When the skipper and crew of the tug saw it was taking a dangerous list to starboard, desperate efforts were made to jettison the cargo of coal. but this was found to be inn practical so an effort was then made to turn the craft around that her starboard side could lie against the dock and be secured there. It was during this maneuvre that the boat began to settle, and when the en- gineroom crew saw the danger which would result from the water getting in contact with the boilers and fur naces, they immediately began to draw the fires and let off steam.
 Masters of other craft in the vicin- ing Isis, but could not get into po- sition quick enough to be of assist ance and were running a great risk with their own boats.
 Peter Brady, the steward was pre- pairing breakfast and he was rescued | with difficulty from perilous posi- ton.

London. Nov. 13.-Problems connect
ed with the policing and provisioning Of
Russia and the central powers hinge
primarily on the immediate disarma-
ment Of the German fleet. the Russian
warships held by the Germaps and
those under control OF the Ukrainian
government in the Black sea. War
ships which are held by the bolshe-
vikists in the Finnish gulf also must
be put out of commission
Without freedom of movement in
the Black and Baltic seas, the entente
powers and the United States viii
have great difficulty in affording econ
oMic relief to central Europe as well
as Scandinavia.
Consequently the attitude of the Ger
man navy toward the armistice terms
is watched with eagerness by entente
officials, who are anxious to prevent
starvation among the belligerents and
to restore normal conditions among the
suffering millions.
Baltic Soon to Be Closed BY Ice.
Speedy action is necessary for the
relief Of nations adjacent to the Baltic
sea, as many Of its ports will be ice
bound within two months and the
congested and disrupted conditions Of
railroads make relief by land routes
uncertain. The United States and the
entente powers have shown no dispo-
sition to deal with the bolshevik gov
ernment. While Russia remains In
control of the soviet there seems little
hope of feeding Moscow, Petrograd
and other large cities there.
Georgia and Armenia can be fed
with comparative ease when the allies
are free to navigate the Black sea.
Railroads there have not been serious
ly impaired. Germany is supposed to
have about 100000 troops in Ukraine
and in the Russian Baltic provinces AZ
we'll as $4,000 in Finland. Under the
armistice terms these viii remain un-
til the entente requests their with
drawal. Adequate provisioning OF
these is important TO prevent their
possible alliance with the Russian hol-
shovik5.
