ELEVATOR
Civil engineers are watching -with
keen interest but divided opinion the
progress of emergency work designed
to save the 1.000.000 bushel bulk grain
elevator at the St. Johns terminal from
further subsidence.
O. W. Boschke. uncompensated ad
visory engineer, and G. IJ. Hegardt. chief
engineer of the dock commission, !
lieve that the pinch piling driven at the
northeast corner and along the east
side of the storage annex or grain bins
will furnish a permanent corrective.
W. R. Phillips, a member f ths
board of advisory engineers, employed
by the commission after the elevator
structure began to subside, disagrees
with Mr. Boschke and Mr. Hegardt and
holds that the foundation can only
stabilised by using soma adequate means
to remove the great weight of the build
ing from the ooze into which the founda
tion piles were drivtn without prelim
inary bonings to find bed rock or solid
gravel. Mr. Phillips has written a let
ter to the dock commission, in order
to protect his reputation as engineer,
declaring that In his judgment the
driving of the pinch piles will not
permanently stop the subsidence of the
building.
Mr. Phillips' letter to the dock com
mission reaqa as ioiiowb:
"In my report of April 5th I say :
"It is my opinion that it would be ad
visabla to, in an experimental way, ex
pend a limited amount for the driving
of piles to find out If the downward
movement of the storage annex might
not be checked.
' "Since the termination of my connec
tion with the committee that had the
matter of the subsidence in hand.
have still continued to plot the curve
relative to subsidence at the northeast
corner of that structure, and as this
curve indicates clearly that the expert
ment has been a failure, I would ask
that you' will not consider my opinion as
then given, as having a bearing upon
whatever further pile driving you may
choose to do with a view to so check
ing subsidence."
A suggestion originally made by Mr.
Phillips that the weight of sand between
the elevator floor and the concrete mat
set on top the pile foundations be with
drawn is to be followed by the commis
sion and a wall is to be built to keep the
water out when the sand is removed.

MARCH PROPOSES
ABANDONING AW
POSTS IN THE WEST
Skeletonized Divisions Will Be
' Stationed at Those Canton
ments That Will Be Retained.
42,569 NEW ENLISTMENTS
Return of Troops From Europe
in May Sets Record 317,186
tyen Come Back in Month.
Washington, May 31. (I. Nt S.) The
army poets of the West are be aban
doned in the event that congress passes
legislation embodying the recommenda
tions of the war department. General'
Peyton C. March, chief of staff, an
nounced at his weekly conference today,
f. very few of these posts would be re
tained, he stated, and only as hospitals
where men in the service whoso physical
condition demanded high altitudes could
be sent. .
Elaborating on his recent testimony
before the house military affairs com
mittee, OeneralrMarch stated that It was
the plan of the - department to have
skeletonised divisions stationed at those
cantonments which are to be retained
and to recruit men from the vicinity of
each camp.
COJIP9 MAJfECYEltS PROPOSED
These skeleton divisions, he said,
would be filled to -war strength in the
event of an emergency by drawing upon
men who will have received training
under any plan congress may authorise.
Drill and maneuvers would be held In
division formation at stated Intervals,
and for every five divisions there would
be a corps commander, and once a year
there would be corps maneuvers.
The old Hay-Chamberlain bill is en
tirely inadequate for the present needs of
the army. General March stated. This
measure provides for only 175,000 com
batant troopB which, with the other
branches, would bring the total to only
about 230,000. Besides, there are no
provisions for the branches that have
been added since the war, touch as avia
tion, tank corps, traffic etc Inci
dentally, General March stated that the
general staff has added aviation aa the
fourth arm ofthe military service. Here
tofore only three arms infantry, cav
alry and artillery were recognised.
EW RECORD IK MOVEMENT
The number of men actually landed
from France during May exclusive of
today is 817,116, constituting a new rec
ord for the movement of troops either
from or to France in a single month,
liighty per cent of these, the general
added, returned in American ships.
The army is now 62 per cent demobil
ized. 2,276.299 officers and men having
received their discharges. Enlistments
now total 42,669, the majority of which
were for three year terms.
Twenty-five full divisions and seven
skeleton divisions have been returned
to the United ' States, General March
said. The 81st is. sailing from Brest and
the 90th from St. Nazaire, which will
leave only seven regular army divisions
on the otner sjdee.
General March warned, that the "Vic
tory ribbon"., being sold throughout the
country is faulty in design and therefore
worthless. These ribbons will be Issued
by the war department just as soon as
the department contracts are delivered.
Casow- Will Sail Soon
San Francisco, MaV 81. (I. N. &)
The little schooner Casco, formerly Rob
ert Louis Stevenson's romantic South
Sea graft, now manned by a number of
au venturous souis wno plan an expedi
tion to Alaska and Siberia, Is expected
to sail today. Difficulties regarding
passports are said to have been adjusted
satisfactorily. The Casco will engage Jn
fishing in the Bering sea, and next sea-
son will sro to Siberian waters to land a
portion of the expedition, whose object'
ive is said to be a rich sapphire mine In
the Interior of Asiatic Russia.
