BUILDING PROGRAM
Sights OFFICERS
$4,000 Expenditure at
Camp Meade Solely for En-
listed Mems Quarters.

officers at Camp Meade will get no
new quarters under the $4,000 build
ing program which is due to begin
at the post early next Summer. The
entire amount will be spent for bar
racks for enlisted men, and, it was
learned today the only relief the off,
GERS may expect is use of materials
from buildings to be RACED with
which to patch up the shacks in
which they are living.
ALI the officers at the post are liv-
ing in war time buildings which are
in the last stag of decay. 1t is vir-
tually impossible TO keep them warm
and they are a constant fire hazard.
Officers Pay for Comfort.
Many of the officers have spent
hundreds of dollars out of their own
pockets in an effort to make these
quarters habitable, and they have to
be braced, patched and caulked con-
tinually to keep them from falling to
pieces.
The prospect today was that these
officers would continue to live in the
same shacks indefinitely, and that en-
listed men would be kept busy re-
pairing the structures with mate
rails salvaged from torndown build
ings. Assistant Secretary of War
Hanford MacNider said it may be
20 to 80 years before the Army is
able adequately to house its officers.
All money used for construction
work at Army posts, Col. MacNider
explained, comes from sale of surplus
property of the Army. Although this
money goes through regular budget
channels and is appropriated for the
Army's use by Congress, it's source
is the sale of extra property and sup
plies and only funds derived from this
source are used.
AT the present rate it win be 20 or
80 years before enough is raised to
provide for needed construction work
at various posts throughout the coun-
try, he said
Relief for the enlisted men. however,
is assured before next Winter. A
total of $4,000 is now available for
barracks to house three battalions of
Infantry at Camp Meade; plans are
now being drawn up and actual con.
struction is due to begin early next
Summer. The buildings to be torn
down will provide materials which may
be used TO repair the officers quarters.
in which they will probably live in
definitely.

III HURT IN CRUSH
AT RITES IN TOXIC
Two Victims Die Watching
Emperor's Cortege-Many
Are Made III by Cold.


TOXIC, February S.-Official police
reports tonight revealed that 721
persons were injured in the crush of
100000 faithful subjects. who packed
the streets of Toxic last night and to-
day during the funeral Of the late
Emperor Yoshihito.
Most Of the injuries were minor in
character. although several were Sc
rious, and there were two deaths.
1t was estimated that about 3,000,.
900 persons were assembled in the
capital during the funeral, but no
more than 1000 900 were able to crowd
to point within sight of the funeral
cortege, or even, to get near enough
to glimpse the procession.
Many Are Made Ill.
The number of those who contracted
pneumonia and influenza from long
hours of waiting in the cold streets Is
inestimable.
The four sacred oxen, which were
used to draw the gorgeous catafalque
Of the dead monarch over the four
mile route from the imperial palace
to the funeral gardens, have been
placed in one of the imperial pastures
to live in ease for the remainder of
their lives.
Lumber and other material used in
building the pavilion and other funer-
al articles, were donated to charity.
The catafalque and the palanquin
which bore the body from the pavilion
to the grave have been preserved in
the imperial museum.
Emperor Hirohito will journey to
the grave of his father at Asakawa
burial ground tomorrow to worship
privately.
