ARMY ENGINEER CORPS
VALUED Agency IN WAR
Extraordinary Scope of Duties I'm
posed Disclosed Today in De-
partment Report.

The first complete and connected story
which gives any idea of the extraor-
dinary scope of the duties modern war
fare has placed upon engineering troops
is told for the first time in chapters Of
the War Departments brief history Of
American war efforts made public to-
day.

Army says the report, worked and

NO EARLY DROP IN PRICES
+ EXPECTED BY EXPERTS
Statement Relative to Conditions
i Under Business Readjustment
u. Made by r. w. Babson.

No extensive drop in prices can be
expected for some time to come, in
the opinion of Roger W. Babson, di-
rector general of the information and
education service of the Department
of Labor, who today issued a state
ment on wage levels and prices.
'1n the present period of business
read5ustment," the statement said,
mo single question appears to bear
a more vital relation to the speedy
return of nationwide prosperity than
the question of prices With each
month that has passed since the sign
ing Of the armistice, developments
have tended to upset preconceived
ideas as to exactly what would hap
pen. The one outstanding fact is
that in spite of the most highly COM
petitive conditions, brought on by a
scarcity of orders in many industries
prices have not materially receded,
excepting for raw materials.
Many who have pinned their faith
in lower prices" Mr.. Babson contends,
ARE pointing to declines in the cost
of few raw materials like cotton,
wool anu leather. They forget that
wearing apparel and other manufac-
tured products. before reaching the
public have gone through SO many
hands and processes, all requiring
labor in it's broadest sense, that the
final cost is largely determined by
the labor cost"

AUSTRIAN DELEGATES
ASK DIRECT WIRES
Embarrass French Officials, as Hun
ENJOYS Have Only Facili-
ties Available.

PARIS, May 1.-THE French Of
ficials have become embarrassed by a
demand made by the Austrian au-
thorities that direct telephone and
telegraph communication be afforded
the Austrian peace delegation during
the negotiations, just as it now is
available to the Germans.
The embarrassment arises from the
fact that the German peace delegates
are using the only wires available and
it is not considered probable that
they will agree to give up any of
their facilities to their former Aus
trian allies.
PARIS, Saturday, May 10.-The
French foreign Office having been in
formed that the Austrian peace dele
cation might be expected to arrive on
Wednesday. work is being hastened
on the delegation's quarters at st.
Germain- where the palace
of Francis is being put in order for
the reception of the visitors
Used for years as a museum, it con-
tains wonderful collection of Gallo
relics ranging from prehistoric times
to the era of the Gallo kings
1t is planned that the presentation
of the terms of peace will occur in
the most beautiful apartment of the
old palace, which is located on the
first floor and approached by a grand
staircase, the walls of which are en-
blazoned with royal devices.

Progress in Development.

The report lays stress on the fact that
great progress was made during the war
in the development of road building
railway and other engineering equip
ment which will be of value CONNER
cially in peace time. The motorized ma

There were developed instruments to
locate hidden guns, one of them spotting
III German guns in one day. Other
instruments developed determined the

the matter of voting upon the propos-
al Of granting to the Holly Sugar Cor
poration to set out of the corporate
limits of the city certain tracts of land
near their proposed factory site and

any reasonable demand to this com
pany, but the question as to whether
the sugar company was going to do

cussed during the week We have
taken the time and expense to Sc
cure some light upon this important
matter and direct our readers atten-
ton to the telegraphic communica-
