i deercd on August 4 for the govern~
ment.
Altogether 426 ships have been
commandeered in order that work
on them might be hastened. Of those
33 have been finished. They are full
sized ships, averaging 1,800 tons.
Most of the commandeered shlpa
are In an advanced stage of construc-
tion. Scarcely a day passcs that does
not see at least one of them added to
the shipping resources of the allies.
The first of the 375 wooden ships
tracted for by the fleet corporation
was only a few days behind the first
of the steel ships in taking the water.
As soon as a ship is finished the
fleet corporation turns it over to the
parent organization, the Shipping
Board. The fleet corporation is sim-
ply the construction agency ot the
board. It does not build ships itself,
but it drawn up plans. lets contracts
and watches and hastens construc-
tion. When it has done its work the
board takes control of the completed
ship. Many ships it turns over to
the navy or to the army. Others go
to the ftalinnnnd the French govern-
ments to transport much needed mu-
nitions and supplies to their troops.
Other ships still are intrustcd to pri-
vate shipping companies to be oper-
ated by them under an arrangement
assuring excess profits'to the board.
The $1.000.000,000 steel trust is
no longer the biggest business. The
Shipping Board is bigger. Congress
has authorized it to spend $1,800,-
000,000. The Pennsylvania railroad
is worth less than half as much.
Besides the 428 ships it has coul-
mandeered, the board is building,
through its fleet corporation, 884
ships on its own contracts. Of these
Edward Tracey of Yale Collegcf 551 are of steel construction, 375 of

Sixteen camps. nearly as big as the

divisions.
Two hundred and fifty thousand‘
men have joined the regulars sluco'
'tbe war broke out. There are 17-
regular army stations and camps be-
ing used for the training of these re-
crults.
Seventeen stations are engaged in
training men for the navy, and ma-
rines are being turned out in three
more.
Not all the aviation fields have
been finished. but in n donors of them
cool headed young men are being
taught to fight in the air.
Nina amps have Just rounded off
the second increment of ofilcers for
the Reserve Corps.
f-‘ive medical camps are in opera-
tion, and three camps for engineers.
All of the larger camps have been
built in the last six months. The big
gest of them, the National Army can-
tonments. were built in three months
at a total cost of ”50,000,000. Only
a little over twice as much was re-
quired to build the Panama Canal, and
that took ten years.
Something between six hundred and
seven hundred million of feet of lum-
ber went into the National Army can-
tonments. The figure for all the army
camps is about 1,000,000 feet.
in population the camps range from
the 300 to 47,000. The men in a fly-
tug camp may know one another as
men know one aother in a email col-
lege. One of the larger cantonments,
on the other band, contains more men
than can be crowded into the Polo
Grounds or Comtsltey Park.
A good average crowd for a World's
Series game is 30,000. Such a crowd
is enough to swamp a half a dozen
car lines. All the men in one of the
National Army cantonments- would
make a crowd half again as large.
. Living conditions in the camps may
not be quite up to the top of the high
American standard. But it can safelyl
be said that no large army of soldiersi
was ever housed so comfortably be-
fore. There will be no freezing tblsI
~winter. Four of the cantonmenta sit
' slated farthest north have steam heat.
The rest have to put up with hot air
systems. But an American army spent
