BUILDING ACTIVITIES
INCREASE in WEST
Although Below Prewar Normal,
Figures Show Gains.

Private individuals and corporations
are responsible for most of the build
ing activity in that section OF the
country east OF the Missouri River and
north OF the Ohio. according to a
statement issued yesterday by the
Division OF Public Works and Con-
struction Development Of the Depart
ment Of Labor.
The building figures in the statement
are for the first three weeks in Feb
ruary. and while they show building
activities far below the prewar nor
NAL. they show also a marked in
crease in February over January Of
this year.
In Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Washington and adjacent territory
contracts awarded in the first week Of
February were of a money total of
G.1S7.000. the second week the total
was N.57TOO0. and for the third week
sl.57I.OO0. a total of s4,S340o0 for the

.YANKS ORDERED
TO QUIT ITALY
One Regiment Has Been
on Duty Near Trieste.
Situation Cleared.

American troops assigned to duty
with the Italians are apparently des-
tined to come home soon.
This was the deduction drawn
last night from Chief of staff
March's announcement of advices
saying that the ss2d Infantry of the
Eighty-third Division had been or
dered concentrated at Genoa.
The concentration order was signi-
fcant not alone for it's indication of
Homecoming, but. also because IL
marked the elimination of a situa-
tion wherein lay the seeds of diff
Guilty. These troops, the only regi-
ment assigned to Italy. had been
to Fiume, Cattaro and
Trieste and were assigned to occupa-
ton duty. Out of this arose a situa-
tion which proved somewhat EN-
barrassing since there were indica-
tiors that the Americans We're being
used TO further Italian aims along the
Adriatic.
The Italians, it is reported, have
taken advantage of the fact that the
Americans were welcomed In the
land along the Adriatic. And. 1t is
known that the War Department had
heard reports that in some cases the
Italians were seeking to have the
Americans overstep the territorial
lines laid in the armistice terms.
Second Division Leads
incidentally, the War Department
was advised yesterday that there Ia
no truth to recent reports that the
American forces in Italy were poorly
clad or ill-fed.
Startling figures from official sour,
ces, given by March, showed that the
CORY toll of battle deaths was 1884, 900
Russia led with a total of 1.700. 900
Germany was. second with 100000
