He4hI usu u - Ho41 weg and Zluiinci maun Heu Oly Sox?rad. Copenhagen. July 10.?In their re? views of the administration of the re? tiring German chancellor, Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg. the German news, papers comment prominently and often in an uncomplimentary manner on his treatment of relations with America. In the Vosslche Zeitung. George Bern hard openly accuses Dr. von Beth msnn-Holl weg und his foreign secre? tary, Dr. Zimmermann, of having played a double game with Washing? ton, making war inevitable by at? tempts to deceive and mislead Pres? ident Wilson In regard to the policy and intentions of Germany. Herr Bernhard intimates that the sulmiarlne policy if managed skilful? ly/ might not have led to war with the United (States had not these dip? lomats played double and increased the danger and destroyed every chance of avoiding a break. He says while they encouraged the idea of media? tion by President Wilson in America did nothing to make it acceptable at home; launched the proposal to Mex? ico to turn against tho United States i while negotiating with Mr. Wilson, and arranged the dinner to Amhaam- ' dor Gerard and approved the text o! 1 the speeches delivered at the dinner, and then astounded the president and 1 the ambassador with the submarine note. Th? Vorwaerts comments on the re? tirement of Chancellor von Beth mann-Hollweg, saying: "We must get away from the am? biguity and lack of clarity which , ave given Germany's foreign pobcy the reputation of dishonesty." Tho newspaper demands that the new chancellor declare plainly whetiier his peace program Is one ot conquest or not. It says there ca.i be no middle ground. Th?

Knell Cantonment 111 HiltfUHI Milit?r.\ Cities in Yui'ioiis Parts of Hie Coun? try Will Have a Thousand Houses. Sixteen great military cities, which when completed will house about 10, 000 men each?and there are not more th:in 150 cities in the entire Cnlted States of greater population ? are now in process of construction, says the New York Times. These cities are the cantonments in which the first American selective draft army, of between ..600,000 and 000, 000 men will receive their preliminary training in this country, prior to their transfer overseas to the allied battle fronts in France. The contractors to whom the contracts have been let for the building "overnight,' so to speak, of these sixteen army cities, are already hard at work, and they have less than nine weeks ahead in which to finish their jobs. That the war department will suc? ceed In making good and that each of these new cities will be ready on schedule time for the more than 20, 000 draft men, who will be ordered to them for training, is the belief of ev? ery officer in the grrnV. Army offi? cers and regular army enlisted men. with several thousand civilian em? ployees added, will bring the popula? tion necessitating a building prob? lem involving the construction of about 1,000 houses, all of them of considerable size, in the space of but a few weeks. The average ground area covered by each cantonment will be between 1,500 and 2,000 acres, and the maintenance of the sixteen cities is expected to entad an expenditure which in one. year will probably total more than $120,000,000. ? 00 To feed the soldiers alone, who will be trained in these cantonments, will require in one year more than 2,000,? 000 bushels of wheat, more than 84, 000,000 pounds of fresh beef, and 4 21,000,000 pounds of fresh pork. The milk needed will totnl | in a year more than 10,500,000 ,gallons, and Ihere Will be noedod projbably 2,50(i, 000 bushels of Irish potatoes, over 325,000 bushels of onions, and over 275,000,000 pounds of other vege? tables, such as cabbage, spinach, tur? nips, etc. In addition to all this food for man are the oats, hay, and other feed which will be needed by the more than 100,000 horses and mules which will be employed at the canton? ments. The sixteen army titles will be lo? cated near Ayer, IfoOO.; Yaphank, L. [,; Wrightstown, X. J,; Annapolis lunction, Md.; Petersburg, Va.; Co? lumbia, S. C.J Atlanta, Ca.; Chilli cothe, O.; Louisville, Ky.; Battle Creek, Mich.; Des Molnes, Ia.< Fort Kiley, Kans.; Fort Sam Houston, Tex., Kockford. Hl.; Litt?) Kock, Ark., and American Lake, Wash. What the emergency means which faced the war department following the passage of the selective draft law Und the announcement by President Wilson that he would call to the col? ors the first 500,ooo men of conscrip? tion age on September .1 can be un? derstood, as was pointed out by an officer of the quartermaster corps, b} keeping in mind what happens in tin ordinary run of affairs during the construction of the average living house. The architect takes his time over the plans, there is plenty of time to look about for a contractor, and much time is wasted waiting for ma? terials. "Compare,* says a war department memorandum, "this every day ex perlence with the government's task of providing in about twelve week; barracks for about ttoo.uuo men, with water supplies, plumbing and heatin;; equipments, hospitals, store hous ? stables and shops in locations when there was not Inn- at the time the site was selected but meadow and grove What private citizen would expect to move into a honst? on September 1 on which not a stroke of work had bee; done on June 1 ? Bach centonoient will be a city o orderly and properly laid out Street) and blocks, with complete sewerage and olectrle lighting systems, ntllrou yards, water lines and lire depart? ments, garbage incinerators and bun drodi of other conveniences neoesaar in the life of any well-organised mod ein settlement, In the ((instruction of the Panama canal the government's expenditure amounted to nhoul 140,000,000 a year, land for the cantonments probably as much will he expended In four months, .lust about one month ago the official! on whose shoulders was placed the burden of making the can? tonments ready on time, started tu solve the problem, involved in the task was first of all the selection ul the sixteen sites, the scientific plan nlng and laying out of the gjxteon c'ties, the purchase and the r.ssem bllng of the materials, the drnwlne, hi of ihe contracts and the slgnlag u the contractors, Also there was ill mobilisation of the thousands of CS I ? neuters, mechanics and other laborers, j skilled und unskilled, and hundreds I of other matters, some big, others small, and all of which bad to be settled in the shortest possible time. I ? * * To construct each canto.intent w.erc required about 4,000 carloads of ma? terials. As soon as the site was de? termined upon, a sanitary engineer, a city planner and an army officer rep? resenting the war department proceed? ed to the place selected and started the work going. They were followed by the contracting engineer, who holds a major's" commission, and un? der whose supervision the city is now being built. An idea of the size of this job may be gained from a glance at the ma? terial estimate for a typical canton? ment. Lumber is the big item, some 26,000,000 feet or 1,;{ur, carloads being the requirement. Rooting nails alone will fill one modern freight car. Crush? ed stone for the roads will make 812 carloads. Here are some of the other items: 28,000 squares of roofing, sixty cars; twenty carloads nails and hardware; twenty carloads plumbing; 10 2 car? loads of tanks, heaters, stoves, ranges, piping, electrical materials, refrigera? tors and the like; railroad materials for five miles of track, divided into thirty carloads of ties and other tim? ber, twenty carloads of spikes, rails fishplates, etc., and 114 carloads ot ballast; ten carloads of electric light poles, wires, insulators, etc. Mater? ials for 12,000 cubic yards of con? crete will take seventy carloads of ce? ment, 360 carloads of stone and 175 carloads of sand. The men of the cantonments will sleep In double-deck bunks. Thi; means there will be 37,000 separate bunks, each with a mattress. To transport) the mattresses 125 cars will be required, and the bunks will take 62 more. Water and sewer lines will make 65 carloads each, and lf>0 car? loads of hospital equipmont will be necessary. Three carloads of screens are also included in the estimate, :v are 20 carloads of construction tools. Where water cannot be obtal led from already utilized sources, wells must be driven or reservoirs con? structed,. The problem of sewage dis? posal will be met by connecting can? tonment sewage mains to already ex? isting sewage systems where possible, or by building reduction stations where necessary. Areas of the cantonments will vary with the typography, the minimum being from 1,50,9 to 2,000 acres. In addition t0*^fi\e city itself, parade grounds, manoeuvring spaces, and rifle"ranges must be provided. Each cantonment will contain clost to 1.000 buildings, the typical com? pany barracks being a two-story Btruoture, built of wooden frame, cov? ered with matched boards. The roof. will be covered,with prepared rooting. They will be well ventilated with flues, lighted by electricity, heated in the north by steam and in the south b. stoves. Each will have a kitchen and mess hall. * * * Col. I. W. Lltteel of quartermas? ter's department of the army, who Is in charge of the work of building the cantonments, made public the fee system of the cantonment contracts The* fees vary from 10 per cent on small contracts of $100,000 or less to 6 per cent, on contracts of more than $250,000. The fees In all cases cover both profit and overhead expense. They were fixed upon by the depart? ment acting with the assistance of the emergency construction ^committee of the general munitions board and oth? er civilian advisers. "In deciding on the cantonment contracts we have had to consider three main points of practically equal importance," Col. Litteel said. "The first has been the absolute necessity of speed; the second, proper construc? tion, including sanitation and commit nication and transportation facilities; the third, economy. Taking all three into consideration and also the fad that time will not permit the comple? tion of drawings and specifications which would be necessary in order to sisk for competitive bids before the work must be started, the quartermas? ter's corps, acting in conjunction with the emergency construction commit? tee decided to make contracts on the percentage or 'cost plus' basis, at the same time using all possible safe? guards In the shape of guarantees from the contractors as to their ca? pacity and integrity. ? * * * "The profit system has been decid? ed on only after weeks of study to find a basis fur tht fees which would as? sure the country of the highest grade of work from the contractors and it the same time prevent extravagance through the payments of excessive I profits. It is a pleasure to pay tribute to the loyalty and patriotism of tho grenf majority of contractors who have come here to .discuss the ques? tion with u?. With a few exceptions, they have acquiesced willingly in out contention that tin- profits must l?< kept down to the lowest level eon Bisten! with high-grade work. Borne firms have offered t<> do the work on a r<_^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ a cost basis, but wo have, considered this an unwise policy both economi? cally ami nationally. Tin; utmost speed ami efficiency must be develop? ed in these and future building jobs for the government, ami the accept? ance of Offers of free service might easily disrupt the high-grade con? tracting firms liest qualified to do the work effectively. "On all amounts between $534,71*4.? 2!? and $300.000,000, which will mob ably covert the majority of important contracts, the fee, including the con? tractor's overhead and profit, will be 7 per cent." Admiral Sims on the Jutland lint tic. (London Times.) Admiral William Sims, of the Unit? ed States navy, spoke at a meeting held at the London Opera House yesterday aiicrnoon to commemorate the heroism of the sailors who fought and the self-sacrifice of those who fell at the Battle of Jutland. The meeting had been arranged by the British and Foreign Sailors' Society. The Bishop of Willesden presided and among those on the platform were Admiral Sir Cecil Burney, the Dean of Durham (Dr. Hensley/'Hen son), Dr. C. W. Saleby, and the mother of John Cornwell, V. C. The Opera House was crowded, and an >\erllow meeting had to be arranged in another hall. An expression of regret for his in? ability to be present received from Admiral Sir John Jelllcoe was read by the chairman. Admiral Sims said how glad he was to have an opportunity of expressing his admiration for the gallant men who in the Jutland battle gave up their lives in this struggle to make the world a fit place for decent men to lire in. (Cheeks.) "Many of these men," he continued, "were friends of mine and of my brother officers, so that we can understand in a meas? ure the grief of those to whom they were dear, and as the representative of the American Navy in European waters I can assure you that those bereaved ones have the entire sympa? thy of our navy and of the vast ma? jority of the people of the United States, where It is realised that the blood shed in that greatest naval bat? tle In history was shed not only for Great Britain and her allies, but also for the cause of freedom throughout the world. This fact was not at first well understood across the water, but it is understood now, and our presi? dent has declared that we are pre? pared for any sacrifice that this cause may triumph. "*Phe dilficulty was that the associa? tion of ideals between our people and yours had not hitherto been close enough to allow of a realization of the spiritual bonds that really unite us. To those of us who hnve enjoy? ed such an association the matter was very clear. There were many of us who anticipated that this spiritual union would manifest itself in no un? certain way at the first threat of real danger to our civilization. I am glad to be able to say, that, as the result of many visits to Great Britain ami her colonies, I had reached that con elusion; and in 1910, when our lleot visited England I made a small but very undiplomatic speech In the Guildhall, in which I expressed an opinion which is now being translated into action by the intelligent pinion and will of the entire American DOO pie. This is about what I said: "If the time ever come.? when the in? tegrity of the British Empire is se loUSly threatened by a European coal? ition you may count upon every ship, ?every dofthr, every man. and every drop of blood- of your kinsmen across the seas.' (Cheers.) Speaking f6r my own service, 1 desire to pay a tribute to the brave seamen who have consecrated the waters of the North Sea with their blood to the everlast? ing honour of their service and our profession. I trust, if the fortunes of war should necessitate another Jutland battle. American seamen may have the opportunity of proving themselves able to sustain your naval traditions. Our naval forces are al? ready on actual service in these wa? ters, and are lighting alongside \oiir in the most cordial and complete co? operation.1 (Cheers.) The Bishop of Willesden said that the British anil Foreign Society was laying Itself out to do all in its POW er to give to the American seamen who came to our shores the splendid welcome they deserved.

Living on 1 '??!?! Hal ion?American* W ill Soon be Only Army in BeWOgej Eating While Breast American Training Camp In France, July 18.?-(By the Associated Press). ? The busiest of all the American troop departments these days is the quartermaster's, which is working almost feverishly to perfect its sys? tem of supplying the men with all the necessities. The work has gone ahead so fast that the quartermaster al? ready has a three months' supply of all foods within a short distance of the camp. The troops are still eating the dark French bread, which is being paid for with American flour, but within three days bakeries will have been estab? lished and the rations will change to white bread with a heavy crust, that mal.es it transportable and durable. The American army will then be the only one in Europe eating white bread. It is today the biggest meat con? sumer, as the men receive a ration of twenty ounces daily. The American soldiers are now liv? ing on the so-called field ration, which consists of twenty ounces of fresh beef daily, or 12 ounces of bacon, or 16 ounces of canned meat, or 16 ounces of canned salmon; 18 ounces of soft, or 18 ounces of hard bread or flour or beans; 20 ounces of potatoes, with a similar amount of onions or tomatoes; an ounce and a quarter of coffee and three ounces of sugar, with salt, pepper and syrup, as well as prunes, dried apples or peaches or jam. When the supplies all arrive, there will also oe butter, which will be distributed as an extra on special occasions. The entire plan of the quarter? master's department is to be entirely independent of the French at the earliest date possible, so as to be no burden either to the government or the population. The department is still trying to decide what to do with the gift made by the French government to the American troops in honor of the 14th of July, the French national holiday, consisting of champagne, red wines, jellies, ham and other delicacies. There is a considerable quantity of champagne and red wine for each soldier and officer, but for the present the authorities have not been able to decide whether the distribution of these wipes would be in \iolation of the spirit of the ?reeent legislation covering the question of liquor to soldiers. So far the troops have been rigidly held to water, even though the diffi? culties of .filtering are considerable. Refrigeration plante wil be neces? sary for both water and food supplies, and recommendations for the con? struction of these plants have already gone forward. Practice today began early, as usual, despite dismal weather, it in? cluded anti-aircraft practice which was pronounced highly successful.
