MOVING OF ENGINEERS
SCHOOL IS CRITICISED
Representative Anthony Wants Of
fees Brought Back to Wash
ington Barracks.

That the Army engineers school
had been moved from the Washing
ton barracks to Camp A. A. Hum
phreys, Va, without sufficient reason,
was the statement made on the floor
of the House today during considera-
ton of bill authorizing the expendi-
ture of about 100000 to complete
quarters and to make other improve
ments at Camp Humphreys.
Representative Anthony of Kansas,
mittee, which investigated this mat
ter, declared that the only reason
that the engineers shall have been
moved from the Washington barracks
was to provide quarters for the OF
ficers attending the War College.
gineer officers should be moved back
to the Washington barracks as soon
as practicable. He admitted that 1t
would not be practicable. probaoiy,
until next year, since it would be
necessary in the meantime to find
the War College.
Mr. Anthony said that he believed
that Camp Humphreys should be used
as a school for field operations for
the Engineer Corps, but that 1t would
not be necessary to erect a lot OF
pose.
While the committee was investigat-
ing the Camp Humphreys project, he
said it ran on set OF plans for
magnificent chain of buildings to be
used as the Engineers School and to
cost s32, ooO. 900. He said these plans
had already been approved by the
general staff and the Secretary of
War. He vigorously attacked such a
project as wildly extrayagant.
