When the five new regiments and
20 battalions of railway engineers,
now being organized, are put on duty
there will be 10000 Americans en-
gagged in railroad construction and
operation in France. hA.lsf sfT-
After the United States entered the
war one of the first requests trans
mitted to this government by the
French mission was for assistance in
Strengthening the French railways.
Nine regiments of railway engineers,
whose organization was started be-
fore General Pershing sailed, were
in France by August, 1917. Six OF
them have been engaged in construe-
tion work, building and rebuilding
railways, building docks, and rear
ranging terminal facilities.
The other three regiments have
been engaged in operation, and some
of the railway troops have been on
the fighting line, The additional
troops will be used partly for con-
struction and maintenance and part
ly for operation rD7 5s919 1snssW
A total Of sf66,OoO,OOO has been
spent on railway materials alone, In,
cIuded ipi the purchases are 172 21lo-
comotiyes, i22 $50 freight car, and
$4,000 tons of steel rails. sa'oo % l.

MAY SKIP SPRAY IN NJ .aaa5f9EH
REGULAR SCHEDULES

Many fruit growers have been able
to omit part of the regular spray
program for the control of fungus
diseases this year because of the dry
weather .Hn'
If it should turn off rainy, how
ever, where the orchards holds a val
liable crop of fruit already covered
with protective coating of fungi
eide, it would be well to apply a sum-
mer spray before the rain begins or
as soon as possible.
| 1t is too late for control if applied
after an extended period of rain. In
regions where fog and mist prevail
it would be well to hold strictly to
the regular schedule of sprays.

Silence IL Appalling
After the triumphal and glorious
march through France and Belgium. and
even Luxembourg, the appalling silence
almost frightened one. There was gloom
everywhere. Even the German flags and
arches which had welcomed the return
ing boche soldiers had been put away,
and nothing remained undone to make
the ceremony more sombre.
One was deeply Impressed by the
quiet dignity of the American dough-
boys Sunday. These lads whistled and
joked and played mouth organs while
going into battle, but marching through
Germany there was not a smile on their
faces or joke on their tips. They were
dead serious.

The American public is vitality inter-
ested In the war emergency and recon-
struction congress which began prelimi-
nary meetings here today, because prob
lens of living costs, OF wages, of con-
Gnued production and all the Infinite
perpiexities of Industrial life are to be
discussed and acted upon by many of the
nation's greatest business men.
How American Industry can best be
transferred from war TO peace basis
with a minimum of labor disturbance
and of business credits Is one OF the
big problems within the scope OF the
congress.
The congress, sponsored by the United
States Chamber of Commerce. cleared
decks for action through series Of
committee meetings held In several score
halls. churches and hotel rooms, depend
ing on the strength Of the committees.
The general sessions begin tomorrow
and will continue until Friday, with
meetings morning, afternoon and eve-
ming. except that the Friday afternoon
session will conclude the congress.
Philsdelphians Present
Ernest r. Trigg. of the Philadelphia
Chamber Of Commerce, was one OF the
members of the National Chambers di-
rectorate, who conferred today in the
Traymore Hotel. They consulted on last
minute details of the conference, at
which more than 1000 delegates will be
present.
Other PhiladeIphians who will be &C
tive In the congress include Joseph b.
Mccall. president of the Philadelphia
Electric Company; w. II. Gartley, Of
the y. g. l.; David Ludlem, president of
the Autocar Company; Alba q. john

Company.
The creation of central committee
as an Intermediary between the Govern
1ncnt and American business was dis
cussed this afternoon at committee
meetings.
Each committee represented an in
dustrial subdivision and the value of the
proposed central committee was dis
cussed from the viewpoint of each in
dustrial group.
May Send Committee Abroad
The sending of commission of busi-
ness men to Europe as representatives OF
American manufacturers was forecast at
several of the meetings.
The commission, independent OF any
Government agency. it was proposed
would confer with similar bodies repre-
senting the Allied nations 1t would
seek exact information regarding the
needs of commodities and supplies by
q Americas allies.
President Wilson's visit abroad was
not commented upon at the committee
sessions. Among the questions discussed
was the future of Americas merchant
marine, but. as with the railroad own
ership question, the committees avoided
committing themselves to definite poll
dies. reserving action until the general
session begins.
