mated by him who have already been
selected to perform this work.
The Senate added an amendment

at a rate of interest less than S per
cent. and the loan shall be secured by
lien. mortgage or otherwise. No loan,
no house nor money given under this
act may be given to any person not an
American citizen.
The Senate rewrote the paragraph
dealing with the character. Of buildings
to be erected, so that 1t now provides
that houses erected by the govern

be of only a temporary character, ex-
cept where the interests of the govern
ment will be best subserved by the cree
tion of buildings of a permanent char
acter."
Another amendment provides that in

eminent proposes to requisition the oc-
cupants may have ten days in which to

CAMP MEADE. Md. May 1.-Greatly
increased territory for a field artillery
range and maneuvers of the Camp
Meade troops is indicated in the infor-
nation from an excellent source that
the War Department is about to avail
itself Of an option on 5000 additional
acres Of land. thus doubling the size OF
the reservation. Secretary Baker is ex-
pected to sign the order for the lease to
become operative within a few days.
In. the event that large numbers of
new draft men are sent here during May
and before the camp is vacated by the
10Th Division, it will be necessary to &C
commodate great many Of the soldiers
in tents. as the barracks are practically
all filled now and cannot accommodate
more than 1000 of additional selects.
There is no word from Washington. nor
any indication here, that the division is
likely to move soon. Some time ago. it
is understood, Meade men were on the
list marked for early overseas service.
but there is little indication now that
they will move ahead Of several other
divisions.
