There will be no serious delay in the construction of sixteen for the army, Secretary Baker said. They will be ready about September 1, the tentative date considered for summoning to the colors the first 625,000 men. The process of selecting the men, the sectary indicated, probably will be set in motion in July. Regulations for the selection and exemption processes have been prepared and will be made public next week. President Wilson it is understood to have approved the general scheme worked out by the war department to secure fail and unselfish application of the law through local officials.

Machinery for the task of constructing the sixteen cantonments also is virtually complete and in some cases actual physical preparations have begun. Most of the contracts have been lot, army officers have been detailed to oversee construction, and under an order published today the engineer units of the national guard of fifteen states will be mustered into the federal service immediately to aid in technical features of the work. At each cantonment, all construction operations will be under direction of a construction quartermaster. The department attaches particular importance to the work of the constructing quartermasters, because, as the responsible representatives of the government, they check up all the figures of the contractors to see that their cost plus percentage contracts are fairly executed. The only question as to cantonment sites that is not finally phine Garvin filed by B.

Mr. Thorn said "that he has enjoyed a splendid business." The store is up-to-date in every respect and the elaborate displays attract the eyes of every one who passes. They carry a mammoth stock of dry goods and ready-to-wear which are sold at prices that appeal to the conservative buyer. The new firm will certainly meet with great success in Chanute if they continue along the same principals in which they have started.
