E E American, French and British Civil ians Cooperating in Restoring Dev astated Region 243 Villages Deso lated Regions Organized, Made Self-Supporting by Crops Planted (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) FRENCH FRONT, June 11. Am erican, French and British civilians are working In closest co-operation with the French military and civil authorities In restoring the lands de vastated by the Germans when they hurriedly quit the lines they had held for two years from Noyon to the Somme. The Associated Press corre spondent after visiting JN'byon, the adopted city of Washington, went thru the entire district and observed what was being done. Others have followed the example of the federal capital and have de voted their energies to the succor of particular localities. For Instance the American fund for French wounded has stepped aside from its original Idea and taken full charge of the ham let of Relierlcourt, with Its 125 re maining inhabitants. 24.1 Desolated Towns. The Countess de Chabrannes la Pal lice has taken to herself the hamlet of Macourt, of which only heaps of bricks and stones remain, and will re build It. Dr. Baron Beni de Rothschild has opened a food and clothing depot at Noyon and sends everything neces sary to any applicant In any part of the afflicted district. All this, however, is but a drop in the ocean when it is realized that 'i there are 243 vilages and hamlets liiread over the country which the Germans before their retreat tried to make into a desert. One hundred of these small communities are now just heaps of stones and bricks -without one habitable room or cellar among them, while of the remainder one third were partly demolished and the rest only slightly. In this region only 35,000 old men old women and young children, un der 4 year of nge, were left without shelter or food by the Germans. Some 12,000 of these were evacuated imediately to the interior of France, where a proportion of them joined relatives. Organizing Country. The military authorities have grap pled in a masterly way with the vast problem which confronts them of providing a lurge destitute commu nlty imediately behind the lines. They - set to work to organize the country and its people. The first step was to provide food and this was done thru the commlssiariat. Then came the question of putting n cultivation again the 250,000 acres of agricultural land comprised In the zone. The devastated country was di vided Into seven sections and com posed of 25 communes, each in charge of an oflcer with skilled aides Horses were lent by the army, broken ploughs and harrows were repaired by motor mcchnnics of the army seeds of all kinds were procured and work on the land was begun. For tltis manual labor was necessary and this was found among the many peas- ants and small fanners lu the Tanks. Tmctors in Use. Thirty American tractors were found lying Idle In a depot not far .from the stricken district and these wore transported to the places where they could be most useful and putj to work. The labor was dangerous owing to the presence of unexplodcd shells under the surface of the fields but only one accident has occurred from this cause. Jn this way about 4000 acres have 1 been ploughed and sown with grain and grass and another 2500 acres more ploughed and cleared of weeds, while with the help of American. Eng lish nnd French donors, every family has been provided with seeds and roots to form a truck garden, with the result that sufficient produce is ex pected to make tho community self supporting. TRIANGLE FILM FEATURES LOST BE RESIGNATIONS NEW YORK, June 26. Several developments of far-reaching impor tance In the affairs of the Triangle corporation hnve occurred. William S. Hart, idol of hundreds of thousands of motion picture onthu slasts, notified the Triangle Film cor poration that he would no longer ap pear In their productions. Papers releasing Mark Sonnet t. founder and supervisor of the Key stone comedies, which have won laughs around tho world, from the Triangle Film corporation, were sign ed by Scnnctt and tho Triangle au thorities. NATIONS Nl REBUILDING RUINED FRANC SIXTEEN CITIES FOR NEW ARMY N Contractors of Army Cantonments Bound by Terms Which Will Check Huge Profits in Building War Towns Schedule of Contractor's Fees to be Allowed.- BY BASIL MAXLY. WASHINGTON", June 26 T!nclo Sum lins let contracts nnd work bus already begun on the greatest city building; program in the world's his- ory. . Sixteen pities, each bigger iliitn Lexington, My., fund (wilh u com bined population as luriie as Clove land, urc to be constructed before Sept. :. Their construction will cost mine than was spent on I lie Piiiiitmn ennui in any one year. It offered the biggest clinnee ever known either for oollossnl graft o for a brand new record in the eon luet of government business. This is no tune to use nny of the old-time safe and snne nntiyrnft devices. These cities cantonments for the selective service nrmv must be ready by September or t lie wlioh military program is disorganized. Un der the old system of competitive bids it would be September before the contracts were written and Oeto ber before t lie work began. ' So Uncle Sam adopted tho plan used by big corporations on rush jobs, paying the cost of materials and labor, plus a reasonable profit til some new wrinkles which make the contracts as nearly graft-proof as possible. Under the ordinary scheme o paying on the basis ot "cost plus percentage profits," the" profit per centugo remains the sumo no matter how high the cost runs. This make t to tho interest of the Hiiscniptilou: contractor to run costs up. The first tiling Uncle Sam did was to arrange it so that the percentage got smaller lis the. cost got larger. For example, the percentage on a con tract where the cost is under $100,000 is 10 ycr cent, but if the cost is ove $125,1)00 the contractor gels only 8 per cent. Ordinarily this would be considered a good enough anlidote against graft but tlic men who drew up the con tracls for Hie government went fur ther. The conlract schedule provided fc a diminishing profit percentage, but calls forlunip-sum payments within certain limits. For example, wher the cost is between $100,000 and $123,000, a lump-sum fee of $10,000 goes to the contractor. These lump-sum payments provid an automatic check on the level of the cost. Suppose a contractor on a job that ought to cost around $100,000. lie can make his $10,000 profit if he gets the job dune for $100,000; but he doesn't get. a cent more unless he pads the cost to run over $12."i,000. And after he reaches $12.r),000 he drops down to an S pe cent profit basis. Ho wouldn't ge any considerable extra graft mile lie run the costs up around $1.")0,000 It is easy to pad n contract to in crenso the cost by a quarter or third; but when it comes to junipin the cost n half or two-thirds, it is U easy to delect, and brings n man jus' lilllo too close to the doors of tl penitentiary to be comfortable. As a final check it is provided tlin no mutter how high the cost run: Uncle Sam will in no case pay a con tractor more than $2')0,000. Just ns effective as these nulouin ic checks against graft, however, the scrutiny given the records of e erv applicant conlrnctor. If there a shady spot in his record, he doesn ;ct the job. It is possible in Hie rush som irul'ting will be done for there in any known method ot making nnge out of contractors, cilhcr dead alive but the man who tries it w be running a big risk. SHiediilo of Fees. If the cost of the work is nnd $100,000 a fee of ten per cent of xu cost. If the cost of the work Is over tino.nno and under $125,000, a fee of $10,000. If the cost of tho work Is over $125,000 and under $250,000, a fee of 8 per cent of such cost. If the cost of the work Is over $250,000 and under $260, 600. 6 7, a fee of $20,000. If the cost of the work Is over $2iiJ,6ti6.f7 and undt-r $500,000, a fee of 7 per rent of such cost. If the cost of the work Is over $500,000 and under $535,714.29, a fee of $37,500. If the cost of the work Is over 535,714.89 and under 13.000,000, a fee of 7 per cent of such cost. If the cost of the work la over 3,000.000 and under $3,600,000, a fee of $210,000. f the cost of the work is over $3,500,0(10 , a fee of 6 per cent of uch coat. The total fee to the contractor hore- nder shall in no event exceed the sum of $250,000, anything in this agreement to the contrary notwith standing. Portland Livestock. , PORTLAND, June 25.

The dis solution of the duma and the council of empire, urged by the Pan-Russian conference of workmen and soldiers' councils, was explained by members of the Russian mission here today as merely another step in the building up of a new government in Russia. Jt does not indicate the slightest hostility, it was said between the councils and the other parts of the government. The duma, it was explained, ceased to exist when, after its dissolution by the czar and its later extraordinary sessions, it created out of itself the provisional government. 1I1 Automatically To this government It entrusted complete legislative, exncutlyo and ju dicial powers, and with Its blrtrf tho duma Itself was dissolved. Since then it has met oiriy once for a decennial ceremonial and has had absolutely no part in the government. The council of the empire was even less represen tative than the duma, it was stated, as It was composed of appointees of the czar, selected from various classes such as capital, education, agriculture and former ministers. New Russia Wants to Know Special Ambassador Bakhmetleff of the mission will address the senate tomorrow, with special reference to the foreign relations of the new pro visional Russian government. It is understood to be the purpose of the new government to announce broad principles of diplomacy under which the present war should be conducted without going Into too great detail as to their specific application. One of the main reasons why Rus sia has proposed a conference of the allies is understood to bo tho uncer tainty there as to just what treaties Russia Is now bound by. ' NEWSPAPERS TO AID U. S.

"Yes" "No" for the regulars unparalleled lu tho nation's history. Reports from all over the country Indicate that the dally papers, as requested by Secre tary Baker, are taking hold of the work vigorously and are bringing home forcibly to ellglbles the neces sity of quick expansion of the regular establishment. Many of them are pointing out that enlistment with the regulars not only would give men eligible for the draft an earlier opportunity for service abroad, but would insure that they go to the front under experienced offi cers of tho line. Officials are empha sizing that the plan of enlistments for war only offers an opportunity also for a man over 31 years and less than 40 to do his share along with the younger men subject to draft. President Wilson's proclamation, setting aside the recruiting week, it is pointed out, virtually amounts to a call for volunteers among men of this class. A mass .meeting in support of the Red Cross was held in the I. O. O. F. hall on Saturday, June 10. Judgo Gilmore was chairman and a good audience was present. Tho chairman introduced Mr. L. McCormlck of Med ford, also Mrs. C. L. Schieffelln, who gave very forcible speeches on the aims of the organization, explaining that the money raised during Red Cross week would bo devoted solely to sending doctors and nurses and ambulances to France. A collection was taken up and several members joined oJ. the close. The membership of. the auxiliary now stands at 35 and sewing will soon be begun. i On Saturday evening the house to house Red Cross collection In Rogue River and the adjacent districts amounted to $020 with no doubt some more to come. , The roses at the band stand are mass of bloom just now and the pride of the Ladles' Improvement club, and of Mr. Mathis, who tends them skillfully.
