American, French and British Civil

(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

NEW YORK, June 26. Several
developments of far-reaching impor
tance In the affairs of the Triangle

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

If the cost of tho work Is over

RUSSIA WANTS
OBLIGATIONS EXPLAINED
WASHINGTON. June 20. 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. '

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.
