When the five new regiments and
10 battalions of railway engineers now
being organized are put on duty there
will be $4,000 Americans engaged In
railroad construction and operation In
France.
After the United States entered the
war one of the first requests transmit
ted to this government by the French
mission was for assistance In strength
ening the French railways. Nine regi-
ments of railway engineers. whose or
ganization was started before General
Pershlng sailed, were in France by Au-
gust, 1917. Six of them have been en-
gagged in construction work, building
and rebuilding railways, building docks
and rearranging terminal facilities.
The other three regiments have been
engaged in operation, and some of the
railway troops have been on the fight
Ing line. The additional troops will
be used partly for construction ana
maintenance and partly for operation.
A total of S160, 1000 900 has been spent
on railway materials alone. Included
in the purchases are 1,727 locomotives,
22,630 freight cars and $4,000 tons OF
steel rails.

Relatives of soldiers named In cas-
ualty lists forwarded from France or
dinarily are notified within "a hours
after receipt of the lists, according to
a statement authorized by the war de-
partment statistical DIVISION"
with a staff of officers and a corps of
stenographers, gives all It's time to
the maintenance of files of soldiers
names and addresses. This division
notifies relatives.
A copy of the roster of each contin-
gent sailing to join the expeditionary
forces is filed in card index fashion,
each card bearing the name of one SOL
der, his organization, and the name
and address of parent or other relative
or friend designated by him to be mott
fed In emergency. When a casualty
list Is received from General Pershing
each name cabled from the American
expedltionary force is listed with the
emergency address on file In the card
index. AS rapidly as the new list with
emergency addresses is built up the
telegraph clerks get duplicates. These
clerks already are supplied with blank
kilograms which require only the rela-
tive's address, name Of sender, nature
Of casualty and the date, and filling In
the blank spaces they get the tele-
grams off as quickly as possible. In
| oddt1ion - ,,,oip+aintnO tho talaOra MI
blanks for the sake of speed the stats
teal division is supplied with sets Of
form letters to be filled in and mailed
when further details are available.
While relatives are generally in re
ceipt of information within "a hours
after the cables are received, delays
are sometimes due to clerical errors
caused by the fact that names mus
pass through so many hands In France
and In America, incorrect emergenc!
addresses turned In by soldiers, re
moyal of families to addresses othe
than those listed, and the occasional
necessity for cabling back to Genera
Pershing to verify name or to Obtain
an address.

Through the operation of repair
shops for clothing and other articles
n considerable saving in reissue OF new
eouIpment has been made at army
camps. One camp quartermaster estl-
mates the issue of new clothing has
decreased one-third, and of shoes 40
per cent.
At a base repair shop for clothing
an average of 1881 garments were re-

Reports are reaching the children's
bureau of the department Of labor from
the hundreds and thousands of women
who during the last go days have been
Weighing 100000 children of Amer
lea, and the way In which permanent
poverty menaces the healthy growth OF
the children of the nation Is being re-
vealed as result of the weighing and
measuring campaign.
Workers have been so much aroused
by the conditions revealed that they re-
quest information regarding follow-up
work. Many of the families are de-
scribed as being pitifully poor. One
mother had a new baby wasting away
for want of milk. The mother was
told to drink one quart Of milk day
herself and to give one quart day to
each Of her six children. Milk Is 10
cents a quart, and the family income
S1b q week. The women writing to
the children's bureau said they did
not know how to solve the problem.
The childrens bureau has been COM
PEELED to reply to such reports that
federal appropriations are available
only for the families Of men actually
In the military or naval service.
Nearly $4,000 negro soldiers are
now In the National army. OF these
1000 are line officers holding commits
sions of captain and first and second
lieutenants. There are about 25O col
ored officers In the medical and dental
reserve corps.
The army now includes two divisions
of colored troops, which when fully
constituted will include practically al
branches of the service; infantry. en-
gineer, artillery, signal corps, medica
corps and service battalions with mel
technically trained in all branches o.
scientific work.
There are now openings In the vet

THE BREAKUP OF AUSTRIA.


Germany and Austria have their hands
more than full these days The war must
still be carried on; the clamor for peace
by the Germans, somewhat tanned by
suffering, is more insstent, and races
long under the heel Of these two nations
are in rebellion and determined to have
self government
Austria must become, in conformity
with the will of its people," said En-
peror Charles ON Oct. Is, "a confederate
state in which each nationality shall
form on the territory which it occupies
its own local autonomy" This proposal,
however, did not contemplate union
of the Polish territories of Austria with
the independent Polish state and the
city Ct Trieste and the neighborng dis
trict was to be treated separately. The
opinion in Rome was that Charles was
trying to save his tottering empire by
recognizing President Wilson'S tenth
point in his program of reconstruction.
NNAtAiAApho ioh tllOllStA, hONtNtl, slllNc
the Presidents tenth point was enunc-
ated and Charles had fallen behind the
procession Consequently, in his last note
to Austria Hungary the President said
that "the United States has recognized
that state of belligerency exists be-
tween the Czecho.S lovaks and the Ger
opA An
that the Czecho- Slovak national council
is a defacto belligerent government
clothed with proper authority to direct
the military and political affairs of the
C2ccho-Slovaks. 1t has also recognized
IN the fullest manner the Justice of the
nationalistic aspirations of the Jugo-
Slavs for freedom" He then refers
Charles to the peoples themselves as to
what action on his part will satisfy
their aspirations and their conception
Of their rights and destiny as members
of the family of nations"
This declaration Of the President
