ties where it might have been of value as a fire stopping agent.
 Fortunately there are today in Poland men who out of the mlsfor- tunes of the war hope to build a new Poland, which will be 8 safer and happier country, than the Poland of the past. Even before the war, the universal employment of wood for housing purposes subjected the towns and villages to frequent fires, which often laid waste entire tracts. The economic loss of these fires has long been a subject of serious discussion, and the Warsaw Architects Circle had started an agitation for the employ nent of a better fre-resiSting ma- terial. The activities of this or sanitation attracted attention, but unfortunately the members were so situated that they were only allowed to act where repairs or new build ing operations were under way.
 Polish Architects Are Busy. The complete sacrificing of miles or housing territory and the absolute necessity of rebuilding has opened a

REBUILDING POLAND
 A GIGANTIC TASK
Architects and Workmen Wiping
 Out Trace of the Hun

Washington. Oct. 25.-Devastated Poland is being rebuilt Because of close German supervision and the German practice of seizing all ma terjals for German use, the work has had to be carried on almost surrep- t1EiouSly But it is already under way. It is naturally of a temporary nature; fsrst because of the lack of supplies aad money, and again because the ascd of shelters is so pressing and inn mediate. But various Polish groups are working, trying to direct even tj}fs work in such a manner that the iaioor now being employed will be used for al least laying the foundation for j new Poland to be created.
 The actual rebuilding will of neces- sity have to be an after-the-war prob lem, because the devastation in Poland has been 50 widespread and complete. Hundreds of villages have been actu- ally reduced to heaps of cinders and a.s,fIcs, roads have been obliterated, gssc fields have been made sterile, and ttyon the trees, not only along tho a7s hways, but in larger forest tracts, l-ave been cut to the stumps.
 Public buildings, bridges, and rail- ways have been destroyed, and in that it@rtion of the kingdom adjoining German Poland, the railroads have been remadc to link with the German governmental system, while the roIl- ing stock has been either confiscated or worn to such a condition as to be nEclcss as an economic instrument in tho future.
 Houses Built of Wood.
 It mast be confessed that the com pleteness of the destruction of Polish villages and towns wac made easter 9y the character of the houses and general buildings. The extra ordinary wooded areas in Poland and the natural cheapness of wood has re- suited in large wooden house areas. Some of them had matched roofs, and fn other cases shingles were used. Many houses that were not destroyed by shell fire were caught by the torches of the advancing and retreat irg armies, and even those which oscaped the fire brands were consum ed in general confagrations. The prac- tice of covering wood construction with plaster served in some cases to save the buildings from incendiary shells, but unfortunately this form of protective covering, was employed < chiefly in the rural districts. and not E in the more thickly settled communi-

the ability to construct the entire house is almost inherent in each Pole, the work will have to be carried on with tact The ability of the Polish workman to, handle wood and his con- f1dence in his skill, is such that he is likely to lag at the adoption of a new medium. Fortunately the educational work is now going on, and when the

actual opportunity comes it will not be so strenuous a task.
 In addition, of course, a system of loans will have to be provided-loans which can be made by the new Polish state to the house. e-builder, and loans which the Polish state will be able to raise abroad.
 In fact, the work of rebuilding is

so monumental that the people within Poland, and the present Polish exile throughout the world, have no ides that they can accomplish all that | desired of their own initiative. I'm situation will call for large amour of supplies and for additional direct ing skill from the Allies and from ourselves,

(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, May Oelayed) The
banner company of Carey's detach-
ment which, under Brig. Gen. Van
deman Carey, held an important
gap in the Fifth British army in the
first week of the German offensive,
was made up Of 800 American rail-
way engineers. Like all the others
of the famous "nondescripts" which
included Canadian and British sup
posedly ncn-combatant units, the
Americans were volunteers.
The American engineers won quite
reputation for the manner in which
they handled machine guns, a weapon
fairly new to the rail and road build
erS.
A disastrous gap appeared in the
Fifth army south of Hamel. in the
later stages of the opening battle.
The Germans had crossed the Somme
at Hamel and had a clear path for
sweep southwestward.
No Troops Available
No troops were available to throw
into the opening. A certain brigadier
general was commissioned by Major
General Cough, commander of the
Fifth army, to gather up every man
he could find and to hold the gap
at any cost" The general called upon
the American and Canadian en-
gineers, cooks, chauffeurs, road work
men, anybody he could find; gave
them guns, pistols, any available
weapon, and rushed them into the
gap in trucks, or horseback or on
mule-drawn limbers.
A nj
from a machine gun school nearby
were confiscated. Only a few men,
however, knew how to operate the
weapons ard they had to be worked
by amateurs with one Instructor" for
every ten or II guns. The Americans
did especially well in handling this
arm.
For two days the detachment held
the mile-and-a-half gap. At the end
Of the second day, the commander,
having gone As hours without sleep,
collapsed. The situation of the de.
tachment looked desperate
General Carey Returns
While al. were wondering what
would happen next, a dusty automo-
bile came bounding along the road
from the north.
= 1t contained Brig. Gen. Carey, who
had been home on leave and who was
trying to find his headquarters.
The general was Communicated by
the detachment and he was found to
be just the commander needed He
is an old South African soldier of the
daredevil type. He is famous among
his men fo rthe scrapes and esca-
pades of his school-boy life as well
as for his daring exploits in South
Africa.
Carey took the detachment in hand
and led it in series of attacks and
which left no time for
sleeping and little for eating. He
gave neither his men nor the en-
envy rest, attacking first on the
north, then in the center, then on
the south-harrassinga the enemy I'M

Whenever the Germans tried to feel
him out with an attack at one point,
Carey parted with a thrust some

available man, and drew the Germans
on to the defensive.

The spirit of Carey's troops was
wonderful. The work they did was
almost supernatural. 1t would have
