Ibeen engineers or other auxiliary
troops which probably were caught at
their work as they were few months

suddenly enseloped parties Of British
forces behind their lines in a swift

any firm which has burned

That some of these portable houses

Americans participation in the war
will probably see as much as 3,O00,-

This amount is for construction
