MANY OPENINGS IN
QUARTERMASTER CORPS
Material Expansion Expected
at Lytle-Draft Men May
Enlist.

1t Is expected that expansion on n
large scale will begin soon In the
quartermaster's department at Lytle.
Although no definite figures are now
available. 1t was stated this morn
ing by officers In the quartermaster's
department that plans are at present
under consideration at Washington,
and will be given out in the near fu-
tuIe. Extensive changes in the re-
clamation and utilities division are
contemplated, and a post laundry,
which will take care of all the SOL
dier's washing, Is to be built. Along
with expansion in other branches, an
increase in the administrative unit will
be necessary, and this part of the
9uartermasters corps Is pointed out as
being an excellent place for men Of
this city to do their bit. Advancement
for intelligent clerical workers is said
to be rapid, and large number are
sent from Lytle to officers training
camps every month. About forty
Chattanoogans enlisted In this branch
of the. service last month, but there Is
still room for many more. Enlistment
in the quartermaster's corps Is open
to all men from Is to 40 except those

U-BOAT CREWS REVOLT IN
PROTEST OF FURTHER WAR
Sailors Incited to Attack Of
ficers and Get Themselves In
termed at Neutral Ports.

London, Aug. 7.-Rumors of a re-
volt by German sailors at Wilhelms-
haven in protest against continuation
of the submarine war are in circua-
tion. according to dispatch to the
Express from Amsterdam. 1t Is re-
ported that propagandists among the
men melted sailors about to leave on
submarine cruises to attack their offi-
GERS and surrender their ships or seek
an opportunity to sink them and get
themselves interned in neutral har-
bors. More than fifty submarines are
said to have disappeared.
Twenty-three of the ringleaders of
the revolt are said to have been ar
rested and sentenced to death. Many
others have been arrested at Kiel and
elsewhere. 1t is added.
The correspondent who sends the re-
ports admits that the stories are con-
flictng and the facts difficult to asccr-
tain.
The men behind the movement, the
accounts state, are revolutionary sail
ors who for some time pact have been
conducting propaganda with the OBJ
ject Of stopping the submarine war
because of the increased dangers.
The recent resignation of Admiral
Won Holtzendorff as chief of the naval
staff is declared to have been con-
nected with the scandal. Emperor
William. It Is added. has abandoned an
intended visit to the fleet at Wilhelms-

AMERICAN ENGINEERS
UNDER HARASSING FIRE
Attempts to Throw Bridges
Across Vesle Meets De-
termined Objection.
ASSOCIATED Press.)

With the American Army on the
Vesle Tuesday, Aug. 6-The Germans
appear to be determined not to permit
American engineers to throw bridges
across the Vesle, and as n result several
American officers have had thrilling
experiences Bridge builders had been
eager to proceed with their work de-
spite the German fire and their officers
have had to hold them back.
Lieut.. E. +. Mail, Of California. on
Tuesday. was under cover with sixty
men on the south bank awaiting lull
in the German shelling in order to
build bridge. 1t was intended to
build footbridge on the foundations
OF bridge destroyed by the Germans
and then to put up larger structure.
Rather than expose his men Lieut.. Mail,
carrying two planks, started out on an
exploration trip by himself.
Cheered BY His Men.
The lieutenant reached the southern
pier Just as the German machine gum
ners commenced heavy fire. This
did not stop him. He tossed one plank
into temporary position and then put
the other In place from the south pier
to the pier in the middle Of the river
The enemy fire becoming warmer Lieut..
Mail jumped into the river and took
cover on the north bank. Afterwards
he recrossed to the south bank and re-
joined his command amid cheers from
the soldiers. At another point farther
west Of Fismes, Maj. Francis r. New
comber and Capt. James p. Growdcn,
during daylight, felled tree across the
Vesle and crossed to the north bank.
There they chopped down another tree
which fell toward the southern bank.
Soon afterwards they had completed
footbridge with the tree trunks as
stringers. Newcomber and Growden
had gone ahead of the bridge building
gang to the position and when the gang
arrived they found the work well
started. The enemy discovered the
footbridge soon afterward and since
