 It was at this point that the pre- mier declared that 1t was not the duty of the British government to commit the country to gigantic en- terprise in order to improve Russian conditions, much as the government deplored those conditions, pointing out that Russia was a country very easy of invasion but difficult one 10 withdraw from.

GREATEST FEAT IN BUILDING
 ENVIRONMENTS

WASHINGTON, June 16 (by Asso- ciated Press) ).-Even in America "the greatest builder of the past" no feat |of construction has ever approached that involved in the completion in 90 days of 16 cantonments for the na- tional army and 16 tent cities for the national guard, says the official war material" history made public today by the war department. The task in- volved the erection and equipment of |32 cities capable of accommodating 10000 persons each, with all the re- |quisite water, lighting, sewerage, hos pital and heating utilities, and in ad- dition the preparation of the strictly military features, such as parade grounds and rife and artillery ranges.
 The creature comforts enjoyed by the American soldier of 1917 is con- trasted with those afforded the man |of '61-'65. Substantial barracks, heat ed by steam or stoves, took the place |of tents; chemically pure water re- placed that secured from the casual spring or stream; scientific laundries cared for the national army recruits clothing, and field bakeries gave him the modern successor to the ashy hoe cake.
 Lumber used in the cantonments alone, the report says, was equivalent to a boardwalk 12 inches wide and one inch thick "to the moon and half way back" while the nails of one popu- lar size would "girdle the earth 3k times."
 The race between the contractors to complete the contonments in the time for the initial draft is eloquently described, the builder of Camp Taylor, Louisville, Ky, winning by narrow margin. The cantonments occupied |157,741 acres of land, which cost an average of $393 per acre, and the contractors profits were given as less than 21a per cent of the gross cost of construction.
 Expenditures for the cantonments represented 70 per cent of the total for the Panama canal, but the sme con- sumed was less than 90 days against 10 years for the canal. Supplementary
 building propects undertaken by the
 department aggregate much larger
 project than the cantonments and in
 cluded enoromus storehouses, factoEies
