not become too ae..te.
Mr.. Thurston said yesterday that
In spite of the heavy enrolment this

that II is impossible to say at this
time whether It will be necessary
to request an emergency appropria-
tion for additional buildings.
The enrolment Of pupils usually

November, and It 10 probable that
additional temporary structures may
be needed later on.

The trucks were selected from a lot of 1,250 turned over to the American Army of Occupation by the Germans, in accordance with the armistice.
 None of the trucks sent to the United States have rubber tires, the Germans being compelled to use vari- Ous substitutes because of the short age of rubber goods. The tires on most of the trucks are of steel on a wooden foundation, the wheel and spokeS also being of wood.

CLAIM INJUSTICE WAS DONE LABOR
 UNITS IN ARMY

Paris, April 1S-CCorresponden of the Associated. Tnress)-Grave in justice has been done to thousands of American soldiers constituting the Labor Battalions of the American Ezcpeditionary Forces because of the manner in which publicity has been given to General Order No. 32 of the United States army in France. de- clares the Rev. Dr. Albert J. Mozart ney, moderator of the Chicago Pres 0bytery, engaged in Young Mems Christian Association work in France.
 The ovder directed that soldiers suffering from social diseases shall be separated and assigned to provis- ional organizations retained for labor purposes in Europe" Dr. McCart- ney says it is unfortunate that mo attention has been called to the fact tha this order is in no way intended to reflect upon the Labor Battaions properly so-called, which are a per manent and Indispensable feature of the United States Army. The pop ular,mind," he adds, 'is likely to con- fuse the Labor Battalion feature of army life with the disciplinary la bor, referred to in General Order No. 32."
 He declares that he recently spent some time with 1000 men of one La Dor Battalion, and they 'are as fine and clean a set of fellows as you will find in tSe army and they sore1y resent the reflection that the popular interpretation of General Order No 32 has put upon them.
 "One boy. for instance. has a let ter from his mother stating that it has broken her heart to have dis closed to her the true reason for ills detention in France" She had read in the papers that all men of a. cer- tain division were home except those detained as a disciplinary measure "This is a plain crime against Ameri- can homes and mother-hearts," de- clares Dr. Mccartney.
