The task involved the erection and equipment of 32 cities capable of accommodating 40,000, 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 is con- trasted with those afforded the man of '61-'6: Substantial barracks, heat- ed by steam or stoves, took the place of tents; chemically pure water re- placed that secured from the casual spring or stream: scientific laundri cared for the national army recruit's clothing, and field bakeries gave him the modern successor 1o the ashy hoe- cake. Lumber used in the cantonments alone, the report says, was equivalent to a board walk inches wide and one-inch thick “to the moon and half way back” while the naiis of one pop- ular size would “girdte tne earth 3 1-2 times.” The race between the contractors to complete the cantonments in the time for the initial draft is eloquently de- scribed, the builder of Camp Taylor, at Louisville, Ky., winning by a narrow margin. The cantonments occupied 167,741 acres of land, which cost an average $3.93 per acre, and the con- tractors’ profits were given as less than 2 1-2 per cent. of the gross cost of construction. ‘l‘ Expenditures for the cantonments epresented 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. Supple- mentary building projects urdertaken by the department aggregated a much larger project than the cantonments and included enormous storehouses, factories for various purposes, proving grounds, army posts, embarkation fa- cilities, docks, magazines, railrpads, aviation fields and hosPitals. “On Neovember 11, 1918,” the report says, “the construction division was conducting 535 operations in 442 loeal- ities, involving an expenditure of $1,- 000,000,000. Thes& touched every state but one.” As the construction crews developed team work, remarkable instances of speed were reported. Precautions taken to assist the contractors in- cluded the detail of a disbursing offi- cer on the spot “with the check hook !ready” so that material could be paid on delivery, and so that special equip- ment could be obtamed at a fair ren- tal and 2 steady fiow of building ma- terials be insured. The last feature finally necessitated the sending of the soldiers into the forest to cut logs and piles and to load them on railroad cars which were guarded by soldiers to their destination. When a shortage of stoves threat- ened the health of the new army, offi- cers of the construction division were sent to the factories to speed up pro-| duction with the result that the army “obtained 15,000 in 3 months although that number s a year's output of the industry.” Fire prevention at the varfous ar- my projects was so efficient that the pared with the civilian rate of $2.42. THERE ARE 13,600 UNEMPLOYED PERSONS IN CONNECTICUT Hartford, Conn, May 14—David Elder, field representative of the United States Employment Service, stated today that according to the e timates received from the nine offices throughout the state connected Wi his department the number of unem- ployed persons in Connecticut at the present time is 13,600. There are more unemployed in Bridgeport than in any other town in the state. The number in that town is given as 6,800, which is 100 fewer than the number reported last week. New Haven comes next with 4,000 unemployed Waterbury reports 400. Mr. Eld the labor situation in the state proving satisfactorily. He said i it was extremely hard to supply the de- mand for carpepters and painte particuarly for the latter. The ave- rage pay for unskilled labore was thirty-seven and one-hali cents an hour, which is only a little less than it was when the labor market was more affected by the war conditions than it is now. The farmers began the spring operations on their farms with tpe expectation that there would be an’ appreciable falling off in' the rate of wages for farm help but they find that their expectations are not being realized. Farm help are paid from $30 to $35 a month and board. PASSPORTS TO BE ISSUED WIVES AND MOTHERS Washington, May 14.—After June 15 the inhibition against granting pass- ports to wives and mothers of Ameri- can officers and enlisted men who may wish to go to Europe will removed. I was announced toduy by the state department that passports will be is- sued in such cases providing the ofi- cers ur men erned are not about to return to this country, but wives and mothers who take advantage of this opportunity will not be able to return to the United States within six month~ =his time limit is set to pre- vent congestion in transportation fa- cilities.

Dodge, the treasurer, at which notable men, in- cluding Ambassador Elkus, Dr. John H. Finley and others told of the wide- spread desolation and misery throughout Asia Minor. One million dollars of the amount will be spent for clothing and sup- plies, it was announced, and, in addi- tion, the following allotments were made: Persia $500,000; the Caucasus $825,000; Beirat, Curfa and Mardin $300,000; Aleppo $100,000 and Constan- tinople $630.000. The balance of the sum, $225,000, will be held in reserve; for emergencies. Dr. Howard S. Bliss, president of the Syrian Protestant College, in Beirut, drew a graphic picture of death and starvation there. Ambassador ETkus said “hundreds [of thousands af young and heipless or- phan children of the Near Hast look to America to give them the chance to live” The real task of the future, he said, would be to train them to work and become self supporting. The ambassador called upon the assem- blage to express its condemnation of “the recent massacre in Poland ufl iJewish relief worlers who, interrupted in their task of philantaropy, were ar- rested, herded together and without trial or inquiry, were deliberately mur- dered.
