and Built Bridges, Too
Aged Piemaker Arrives

90 Years, Cooked Dough
nuts for A. E. f. at Front

The Holland America liner Nieuw
Amsterdam arrived here yesterday
from Rotterdam, Plymouth and Brest
with 2,O63 officers and men of the A
Z. F. and 500 civilian passengers.
Among the military travellers were
men of the 302d Engineers Of the 77th
Division, who returned in command of
Colonel Frank A. Giesting, and went
to Camp Mills for rehabilitation. The
organization, which left Camp Upton
in March, 1918, got into action in the
Vosges in July, and built fourteen
bridges along the Aisne and Vcsle. AS
combat troops they participated in en-
gagements along the Disc and Vesle,
the regiments casualties being 400
killed and wounded
On the Neuw Amsterdam came
Major General William 8. McNair, who
went overseas in command Of the 151st
Artillery Brigade of the 10th Divis-
ion. He was on the Antilles when
that vessel was torpedoed and was
rescued after being three hours in the
water.
Made Pies Under Fire
Among the civilian passengers was
Mrs. Minnie Burdick, sixty years old.
of Houston, Tex, who made pies and
doughnuts for the American troops
in various Salvation Army huts be-
tween Bonnet and San Joire. "Ma"
Burdick was gassed in October and
sent to the rear for treatment. She
was accompanied by her husband who
was with her on her pie-making trips
along the front. Elmer Burdick, her
son, is with the 9th Division, and her
daughter, Cecil, is engaged in Saliva
tion Army work in Bordeaux.
J. Frank Hanly, former Governor of
Indiana, who went abroad to address
the American troops on the subject of
civic duties, was one of the returning
travellers. He said he found the men
tired of being amused and that their
chief aim is to get out OF service and
into real work in civilian life.
Dominick |. Murphy, American Con-
sui General in Bulgaria, returned with
his wife, after four years service in
that country. He said the Bulgarians
did not wish to enter the war on the
side of Germany, but were forced into
it by the government. The Bulgarians,
he said, are much misunderstood on
this side Of the Atlantic.
Made War Cost Estimate
Lieutenant Colonel D. G. Jackson, Of
the Massachusetts Institute of Technol-
ogy, who was requested to go over the
devastated regions of Belgium and
France to get data for the fixing OF
war costs and losses for the use of the
American representatives of the peace
conference, said that the total cost of
the war to the United States and the
Allies would be approximately two
hundred billion dollars.
Colonel A. Depage, prominent sur
geon of Belgium and head of the Bel
gian Red Cross, arrived on the Nieuw
Amsterdam to attend the international
Congress of Surgeons. to be held in
Atlantic City. He was accompanied
by Colonel John Van Schaick, jr, COM
missioner for Belgium for the Ameri-
can Red Cross.

dam were Rishop NJ. G. Harris. of the
