FORT HUMPHREYS, V —Another step in the formation of a new Army of the United States was taken on the parade ground here to- day when the 304th Engineers were formally presented with the regi- mental coloPs, consisting of the na- tional ensign and the regimental standard, thus marking the official recognition of this military unit as a part of the United States military forces. The presentation was made with all the pomp such a military ceremony command This regiment is composed of offi- cers and men from Philadelphia and viciaity and is commanded by Col. J. ¥ rber of Philadelphia, who ac- cvepted the colors today. The presen- tation on the part of the War De. partment was made by Brig.

The 13th Regiment of Engineers and their band, together with the band of the 30ith Reserve Enginee the officers of the 304th Reserve Engi neer Regiment, and the men attached to the Citizens' Military 2 Corp ing Corps were lined up on the parade grounds to take part in the presenta- tion ceremony.

Young, referring to the excellent record of the 304th En- gineer Regiment of the A. E. F. in the World War. He invited attention to the fact that that famous regl- ment received its preliminary train- ing in this camp, where the new 304th is.taking its war lessons. He said he was sure that in turning over the colors to the 304th Engineer | Regiment he had placed them in safe hands and they would be well taken care of. Col. Barber, in accepting the colors on behalf of the regiment, expressed the appreciation of the War Depart- ment'’s official recognition, which w being given at this time. He said that as the old regiment had done, so would the new. Many of the old offi- cers have been commissioned in the new command, and the new officers have been imbued with the same spirit that prevailed in the old regi- ment. He pledged the loyalty of the new regiment and said it would be ready instantly to take up its duties in the field in any conflict in which the country might be engaged. Getting Field Work.

The members of the Reserve offl cers’ training camp are from the fol- lowing _instituti Carnegie Insti tute of Technology, Pittsburgh; Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore; Penn- sylvania State College, Virginia Pol technic Institute and the Virgin Military Institute.

The course includes in tion in map making, reconnaisance, advanced guard and attack, construc- tion work, including trestle and pon- toon bridge construction, as well as demolition with the aid of high ex- plosives. The course has not been without its instruction in paper work, that is, the carrying on_ of corre- spondence, issuance of orders, mak- ing out requisitions for supplies, etc. Officers on Trip. This afternoon a group of the mem- bers of the Reserve officers’ training camp were taken on the United States Engineer boat Chicago on a trip down_the Potomac as far as Riverside, Md., for the purpose of i specting river and harbor constru tion work. The group was in charg of Maj. J. D. OConnor. in charge of the Potomac River and Harbor dis. trict, with headquarters in Washing- ton.” Maj. O'Connor explained to the embryo officers the of the work of the Army Engineer Corps in its river and Harbor improvement work. This group returned to camp last night and another group will be taken out today. Many of the officers of the 304th Engineers were trained for World War in this camp. A number of them expressed surprise on re- turning there to find the old frame buildings still standing, and no new construction of a more permanent nature. This condition prevails in spite of the fact that this is the site of the Engineer School and the gineer Museum. Valuable papers and documents are stored in the same frame buildings that were rushed into being for war purposes. Col. M. Markham, U Engi neers, is in command of the post, Maj. D. L. Weart, formerly in the office c public buildings and grounds in Wash- ington, is executive officer and Maj John F Regiment of U. S.

The 304th Engineers will complete their duty July nd then the 324th Engineers from Pittsburgh will arrive for training until August 9. From the latter date until August 23, the officers of the following regiments will be in camp; 353rd Engineers, Pennsylvania, 43 officers; 309th and 325th Engineer Regiments, each with the 404th Engineers, with 15 officers, also from Ohio. The 343rd Engineers, composed of officers from this city and Baltimore, will report in camp August 1 for two weeks’ training. The battalion from the District of Columbia will be com- manded by Col. John Stewart. How- ever, they will remain in camp for a day, as they will have probably the most interesting training of the period. They will leave August 17 to hike to Bull Run, camping en route, and studying the war maps and fortific: They will re- turn to camp August 30, and will be Qismissed from further active duty. WANING INTERNAL TRADE AWAKES SOVIET CONCERN Government’s Let-Up in War on Private Capital Has Brought Scant Relief. Correspondence of the Associated Press. MOSCOW, June Problems of in |ternal trade are now engaging the are ni ‘cl(-ses! attention of the Soviet govern- |ment. The recent conference of the | Communist party and the Federal Con- | Bress of Soviets passed a number of reforms to facilitate private trade and to attract private capital to general trade and indus The government has found after many years of war {upon private trade that private capi- tal in Russia does not exceed 5,000,000 rubles. The trade turnover hardly reaches 2,000,000,000 rubles a year. Moscow, which is considered the bi |gest trade center in the Sqviet fed- eration, made a trade turnover last vear of 1,723,000,000 rubles. The bulk of this sum falls upon state and co- operative trade, as 93 per cent of the Moscow industries are in the hands of the state and only 7 per cent is in the hands of co-operative and private con- cerns. Private manufacturers in Mos- cow employ only about 10,000 work- men, which is only 1.3 per cent of the total number of wor Moscow industry. W. W.
