Repair Army Clothing.

Repair Army Clothing.
Through the operation of repair shops
for clothing and other articles, con-
siderable saving in reissue of new equip
ment has been made at army camps.
One camp quartermaster estimates the
issue of new clothing has decreased one
third, and of shoes 40 percent.
At base repair shop for clothing an
average of 1881 garments were repaired
daily during the first eighteen days of
May. In addition to the work done at
base repair shops many thousands of
garments are repaired at camp shops,
one shop being located at each large
camp.
During April nearly 10000 pairs of
shoes were repaired in army repair
shops. AT present practically all hat
repairing is done by contract, the price
varying from so to 80 cents hat.
This work is in charge of the conser-
walton and reclamation division of the
quartermaster corps, which has been in
operation only during the last four
months.

now being organized are put ON duty
there will be $4,000 Americans engaged
in railroad construction and operation

After the United States entered the

to this government by the French mis-
sion was for assistance in strengthen
ing the French railways Nine regi-
ments of railway engineers, whose or
ganization was started before General
Pershing sailed, were in France by
august, 1917. Six of them have been
engaged in construction work, building
and rebuilding railways, building docks,
and rearranging terminal facilities. The
other three regiments have been engag-
ed in operation, and some of the rail
way troops have been on the fighting
line. The additional troops will be |

GERMAN CORN CROP REDUCED.

New York--The yield of the Ger
man corn crop has been reduced
and is barely sufficient for the feed
ing OF the population, according to
a statement made by Privy Coun-
cilor Kleinert of the Imperial Ger
man bureau before the food com
mittee of the reichstag, according
TO the Berlin Tageblatt of June IA.
In reply TO demand by the bour-
geoisie parties that the farmers be
allotted a larger quantity of Ger
tain kind of corn (called in German
hinterkorn, black CORN, as this
would have a conciliatory effect in
view Of the many enforced deliv-
cries and numerous compulsory
measures, Kleinert said that the so
called "hinterkorn" could not be
released in general for fodder pur-
poses, for the reason that unfavor-
able experiences had been made in
that respect in 1916 Notwithstand-
ing a careful system of control, ex-
traodrinaTily great difficulties were
and these difficulties
would increase now that the situa-
ton as a whole is more tense than
in 1916 and that the total yield of
our crop has been further reduced
and barely suffices for the feeding
of the population"

American institution. Southwark
the convalescing soldier Will look
across the water to the busy harbor
of Southampton, with the shores or
the Isles of Wight in the distance.
Of the hospital jetty they will see
anchored an ancient British frigate,
now used as a training-ship, her
decks swarming with young mid
shipmen at their first lessons In
seacraft.
Conferred in these surroundings is
an old manor house, erected as a
private residence 35 years ago by a
wealthy British landowner, which
will serve as the central hospital
building. From the tower of this
structure one may have an unob-
structed view for 20 miles. The
central corridor of the hospital Will
be l 900 feet long, and wards on
either side will accommodate from
so to 100 patients each. Here, and
III neighboring hutments which will
cover nearly ten acres, VIII be
room for 5000 wounded TO be careu
for comfortably. There will be
separate buildings for the medical
and nursing stats and other en-
ployes, and for kitchens and oper-
ating rooms. At some distance
from the main buildings will be a
large isolation hospital, with its
own kitchen and equipment.
This estate, located at some dis
lance from the main roads so that
the ambulance traffic will not be in
terfered with by the regular bust
ness of the central highways, was
purchased by the Red Cross. Cap
tain F. Harper Sibley of the Red
Cross, former president of the
Chamber of Commerce of Roches-
ter, n. Y, is supervising the con-
struction work. Saptain Sibley has
been in charge of the American
Red Cross work at Southampton
since his arrival in England last
April.
During the pleasant English sum-
mer, these tent wards will be very
comfortable and agreeable, and
long before the first chilly weather
of autumn comes, the frame huts
wards, steamheated, will be ready.
1t is possible that some of the
tents will be retained for the use
of convalescents or for overflow
purposes in the event of big of
