Two fishermen living in village near
the coast, it was learned today, found
the watch. II danglcd from the end of
n chain, crusted with salt, and was tug d,
ging strenuously as though trying to es
cape. One of the fishermen saw It glis j.
thing in the water, and the name Ray
mond ISzard" engraved Oh the case
stood out clearly.
The name revived the memory of the
hunt along the coast for the two boys.
The watch had been battered by waves.
IT had evidently been torn from the
coat of Raymond shortly after the lit -
tie fellow had removed his clothing.
On reaching shore the finder of the
watch learned that reward had been
offered. He got in touch with g. i.
Iszard, 241 West Hansberry street,
father Of Raymond, and returned the
chain and timepiece.
Mr.. Iszard said that while the works
were useless the case was well pre-
served, He was overjoypd to get the
watch, and said it will serve as o mem -
Ory Of the boy who had frightened his
life.

TELLS OF ARMY EXPENSES
General Solomon Reads Paper From
General Marshall Here

An interesting paper on how the con
struction division OF the United States
army spent more than 81 900 900 900,
written by Brigadier General II. C..
Marshall, Jr., chief of that division,
was read last night by Colonel G. r..
Solomon, of the engineering branch,
construction division, at the Franklin
Institute.
The paper showed that tho division
undertook and had completed or under
way Mt the time of the armistice 90
operation in 444 different localities, Gov
ering every state but one. "One of the
lessons of the war the paper says,
'is that the efficient conduct of large
operations is impossible without special
ization, and this is nowhere more
strongly exemplfed than in the con-
struction division"
An important function of the con
struction division was to provide for
the expansion of the hospital accommo-
eations of the country. A total of 294
hospitals. accommodating 121 900 pa
tients, at an approximate cost of 1927, =
525, 900. In general the operations Of
this division were confined to this side
of the Atlantic.
