Construction Branch
 of Army Made Great
 Record During the War

1 Expenditures for the cantonmentS represented 70 per cent of the total ] for the Panama canal, but the time consumed was less than 90 days, against 10 years for the canal Sup plementary building projects under taken by the department aggre- gated a much larger project than the cantonments and included enor- nous storehouses, factories for va rious purposes, proving grounds, army posts, embarkation facilities docks, magazines, railroads, aviation fields and hospitals.
 i "On November II, 191s," the re- port says, s'the construction division was conducting 535 operations in 442 localities, involving an expendi- ture of s1,000,0OO.0OO. These touched every state but one"
 As the construction crews de veloped teamwork, remarkable in 1 stances of speed were reported Precautions taken to assist the cor, tractors included the detail of a ldisbursing officer on the spot ''witt the check book ready" so that ma. terial could be paid for on delivery and so that special equipment could be obtained at a fair rental and : steady flow of building material; be insured. The last feature finally necessitated the sending of soldier: into the forest to cut logs and pile: and to load them on railroad cars which were guarded by soldiers t. their destination.
 i When a shortage of stoves threat ened the health of the new army officers of the construction division were sent to the factories to speed up production, with the result tha' the army obtained 15,000 in three months, although that number is : years output of the industry"
 Fire prevention at the variou: army projects was so efficient tha the per capita loss was only 4 cents, as compared with the civilian rate of S242.

WASHINGTON.-Even in Amer

WASHINGTON.-Even in Amer ica, ''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 national army and 16 tent cities for the national guard, says the official war ma terial' history just made public by the war department. The task in volved the erection and equipment of 32 cities capable of accommo- dating 10000 persons each, with all the requisite water, lighting, sewerage, hospital and heating utili- ties, and in addition the preparation of the strictly military features, such as parade grounds and rifle and artillery ranges.
 The creature comforts enjoyed by the American soldier of 1917 are contrasted with those afforded the man of '61-'65. Substantial bar racks, heated by steam or stoves, took the place of tents; chemically pure water replaced 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 hoecake.
 Lumber used in the cantonments alone, the report says, was equiva- lent to a boardwalk 12 inches wide and one inch thick Ito the moon and half way back" while the nails of one popular size would ''girdle'' the earth 31a times"
 The race between the contractors to complete the cantonments in the time for the initial draft is elo- quently described, the builder of Camp Taylor, Louisville, Ky, win ming by a narrow margin. The can comments occupied 167.741 acres ,f land, which cost an average of S3.93 per acre, and the contractors profits were given as less than 212 per cent of the gross cost of construction.

RESUME TON OF TRADE RELATIONS
 SOUGHT BY HUNS

COBLENZ-German mail passing through the American censorship 9 recently has been made up prha- cipally of letters relating to re- sumption of commercial relations with the United States, Great Brit ain and France. Dealings in cloth ing materials and articles of cloth ing take up a predominant place in the letters referring to business matters, and from indications in the mail it would seem that a treat deal of cloth is being imported Irtc occupied Germany from France anI Alsace-Lorraine. .- The head of a chemical works in Winkel and Wiesbaden, writing to a New York concern, says that since commercial relations between the United States and the occuipe! ter ritory of Germany are about to be renewed, he desires to order at once several hundred ton: of phosphatcs. He believes he will be able to ar- range for the import permit fer this shipment. Quotations F. 0.

The letter sets forth also that the shipbuiidine industry is in a position to turn out a million tons of shipping win in a year, and that materials, such as lead, steel and copper are at hand in sufficient quantities to carry out this program.

HARRY PRATT |S BACK FROM TRIP
 ON UPPER RIVER

Assistant District Attorney Harry Pratt and Deputy Marshal Pete Me Mullen returned to Fairbanks yes terday. They had been to Panama Crossing to investigate the disap- pearance of Henry Hichquist, a prospector. who was reported miss ing some time ago.
 The party found nothing that would throw any definite light on the fate of the oldtimer. His cabin and the scene of his labors were visited, but no trace of the 1aiss ng man nor any clue that would guide them was found.
 The Indians in the neighborhood of the Crossing and the Lake Mans field country were closely qucs- tioned, and it was learned that Highquist started out in a polling boat, bound for Fairbanks. some time ago. The search party found a boat on a sandbar q short dis tance above McCarty. The beat had a large hole in her side, which may have been caused by contact with Ia sweerer.

DENVER, Colo. - William H. c'Billy") Adams, of Alamosa, who served the people of Colorado in the legislature for 36 years, has announced his retirement Adams has given this advice to the young man contemplating entering poli- tics: Don't. Unless you can make your living outside politics"
 Adams came up from his cattle ranch in Conejos county when the state of Colorado was just two years old, being elected to the lower house. Each legislature since then, including the session which ended April 8, he has been a familiar figure in the legislative chambers, first as member of the house and later in the senate.
 Adams was an expert on parlia- hSHLais Ia" anu lIliS hho"leuSC helped him through many a hard fought fight on the floor of the legislature. In his own opinion, his greatest battle was the one which ended in the last election of the late H. Nj. Teller to the United States senate. By quick thought and application of an obscure par liamentary rule, Senator Adam, then belonging to the minority wing, seized control of the senate when the president left the chamber, talk ing what he called 'the rump sen- ate' with him.
