Officials here still professed tonight to be without information as to when the president planned to return to Washington. It is generally believed. however, that he will not start for home until the treaty has been signed and that he will present it in person to the senate. In some quarters the opinion is expressed that he will tour the country, speaking in support of the treaty and the league covenant.

Reconstruction Work at the Base.

Hats off to the work the surgeon
generals department is doing at the
base hospital for the convalescents
and patients! Any one who will visit
the school being conducted in ward ST.
and who will inspect the work being
done at the bedside of patients wilt
be amazed at the scope OF a job that :
Is being constantly enlarged. Fifteen
reconstruction aids are at work in
the hospital wards and they are indeed
angels of blessing Everywhere one
now finds men working at various
crafts-making baskets. jewelry, wood
carvings, toys and drawings. Others
are being instructed in various aca-
demic and commercial branches. Then
at ward 81 one finds the headouar-
ters or a small polytechnical institute
Here the convalescent men gather %
study typewriting, stenOgraphy and
other business courses. Courses in
auto mechanics, carpentry, agricut-
ture, telegfaphy, telephony. photoI-
raphy and other useful occupations
are offered.
About 400 men are enrolled in the
various courses already. and those IN
charge of the school are confident that
this number will be greatly enlarged
Capt. q. w. Ramaker is the educaticn-
al off1cef and has general charge OF
this reconstruction project in Camp
Meade. Lieut.. H. MembridRe is yoca -

One cannot estimate all the benefits
that result from this splendid work.
Men who were belfast and bored be-

Men with arms weakened by wounds

Dances out upon the curbStone. that the sol

Such a sight fills her with pleasure, holiday

Then she notices that others Solemnly and
sadly stare,
As the boys march quickly onward, looking

Just AZ quick the babys heartstrings seem to
tighten at the sight,
And the look of childish gladness disappears
and in its place
There's a look Of awe and wonder stealing
