When the five new regiment and
19 battalion of railway engineer
now being organized are put on duty
there will be 60,000 Americans en
gaged in railroad construction and
operation in France.
i
After the United States eatered 1
the war one of the first requests!
transmitted to thla government byj
the French mission wn for assls-
tr.nce In Htrengthening the French!
rcMways. Nine regiment of mil- i
way engineers, whose organization i
waa started befcre General Pershing j
sailed, were In Frr.nce by August,:
1917. Six of them have been en-!
gaged In construction work, building!
and rebuldng railways, building:
docks and rearranging terminal fact-1
litles. The other three regiments
have been engaged In operation, and j
some of the railway troops hr.ve been j
on the fighting line. The additional :
troops will be used partly for con-!
structlon and maintenance and part:
ly for operation. '
A total of $160,000,000 has been
spent on railway material alone. In- i
eluded In the purchase are 1,727 !
locomotives, 22, 630 freight cars, and ;
359,000 ton of steel rails.
RADIO TAUGHT
IN 600 SCHOOLS
The demand for specialists In the
army I Increasing dally. Mechanics
and technicians of all kinds, includ
ing radio and buzzer operators are
needed by the signal corps.
. In nearly every large city the fed
eral board of vocational training,
through local school authorities has
established school of radio com
munication where men of draft age
who have not been called may re
ceive a preliminary course In the
operation of radio and buzzer in
struments. There are about 600 of
these schools where instruction is
given, usually in the afternoon and
evenings. It takes about 200 hours
for a student of average nbility to
obtain a speed of 20 wcrds a minute,
Rending and receiving. Further in
formation regarding these school
may be aecured from local school
authorities. I

The standardized "type B" truck
has been officially adopted as the
standard heavy-duty truck for use
by the army in all it departments
requiring this capacity truck. A
large number have been ordered and
it is expected the first 10,000 will be
completed about August 1, 1918.
The 12-cylinder Liberty motor,
according to a statement by the War
Department, weights 826 pounds and
develops 450 horsepower, or a weight
of 1.8 pounds per horsepower. The
gasoline consumption s approximate
ly 0.46 pound per horsepower hour.
Next to the agregate number of
subscribers, perhaps the most strik
ing feature of the third Liberty loan
was the support given It by the farm
ing and rural populations of the
country, according tg a Btatement by
the Treasury Department. Not only
did the farmer purchase liberally of
the bonds, but the rural communi
ties a a rule were more prompt in
completing their quota of the loan
than the larger clue. More man
20,000 communities in the United
Stato subscribed or oversubscribed
their quotas, many of them on the
first day of the campaign. The ma
jority of these were not cities, but
country districts.
