I Washington, Juno 23. There will bo no serious delay in construction of the sixteen cantonments for the na tional army, Secretary linker said to day nnd all of tho establishments prolwbly will bo ready about Sep tember 1, the tentative date consid ered for summoning to the colors the first C25.000 men. The process of ee lcctlng the men, the Secretary In- dlcated probably will be set In motion early in July. Itcgulatlons for tho exemption and slcctlon processes have been pre- pared and will bo made public next week. President Wilson Is under stood to havo approved the general scheme worked out by the War De partment to secure fair nnd unselfish application of the law thru local offi cials. Minor modifications are be ing made but plans will be complete In a few days. Machinery for the great task of 9 construction Is complete and in soma ' cases actual physical preparations havo begun. Most of the contracts have been let, army olllcers have been dialled to oversee construction nnd under an order published today the 4rcuKlner units of the National Guard of fifteen States will be mustered Into tho Federal service immedlatly to aid In technical features of the work.

Seven of tho men designated for theso posts are regul ar army, officers .and the other, nine nro successful civilian engineers who have been commissioned as majors In tho Quartermasters' Reserve Corps. The department attaches particular Importance to the work of the constructing flunrternuihtera becauso as the responsible represen tatives of the Government they will chec up all the figures of the con tractors to see thai their cost plus percentage contracts ure fairly ex ecuted. The only question as to canton ment sites that Is not finally hettled. Mr. linker said, Involves a possible relocation of the cantonmont now nssigned to lies Moines. Objection hns been raised to the Des Moines location on the ground that railway faciltles are not adequate and that it will be impossible to provide prop er drainage. These points have been reopened for consideration. Untitling "of the enntonments, the Secretary bald, would proceed on the " present general specifications, tho some minor modifications would bo mado because of suggestions by the medical committee of which Gorgas is a member. After thee amps are built and tho troops under training, additional funds may be asked of Congress to carry out further the t" suggestions of th doctors. Tho main problems now are those of material and transportation. A new difficulty hns presented ItsoU In the shape of a shortage of Iron - plpo. An enormous quaulty of piping will bo needed for tho mains and connections at the camps nnd the available supply officials my will not meet tho demand without crippling ordinary nctlvltles of tho country. For this reason a considerable qantl- ty of wooden piping will bo used. Uy way of emphazlzlng what can be dono In a short time, when ull the resources of the department nro put to work, officials revealed today that cantonments for tho regular army mado necessary (by tho expansion for war purposes have been rushed almost to completion. Tho work did not Involve, of course, anything llko tho amount of material or labor need ed for the sixteen big cantonments, but It wns in Itself a big undertaking and was put thru on record time.

That Alex ander Kcrensky, Russia's new war minster, will become the Itusslan Xnnolcon nnd lead her discouraged armies to victories under n dictator ship llko that which Uonaparto creat ed in Franco 118 year3 ago, is the crowing conviction of ptudents of llussian nffalrs In Washington who ure alive to tho lessonr of history.

The directory know peace would bo suicidal but was powerless to con tinue aggressive warfare until as a last resort Napoleon was plsced In cbarce of the armies of Franco Just as Kerensky was last week named to command tlio armies of Russia. So much for similarity of national conditions. Let us look now at the men. Like Kerensky, Napoleon liad been one of tho most ardent of revolu tionists and strong antimonarchist. A follower of Rousseau, his pro- renubllcan essays Tverc written In the same temper and -with as great earn estness as tho fiery speeches of Kerensky in the duma. When Napoleon took charge of the armies to save Franoo he baa no more Idea of becoming emporcr than Kerensky lias. Kerenskys great speech announc ing re-estnblislnnent If iron discip line In the Russian army sounds al most, llko -an echo -of Napoleon's speeches to the French armies of 1799. Even In features thero is a -marked resemblance bewteen tho two. ltls true Kerenslty lacks military training, but to-day victory requires organization and consolidation of en- ,tlro nations, not mere groups of soi,ilers I ,... ,.!.. tho training of Kerensky admirably fits him. And above all ho has caught this lmncinatlon and captured the confi dence of tho Russian soldiers and peasants to the same degree ns tho Little Corporal hold the Frencu peo ple and Its army enthralled by his courngo and daring. Out of tho volcanic upheaval oi every revolution eomo leader of over whelming greatness haa appeared. Is It not reasonablo to expect that tho Russian revolution will run mo to form and dovelop its Napo leon or Its Cromwell, In tho person of some genius as Kernesky who to day holds In his hands tho fato of Russia and perhaps tho fato or mo entire world? .

Two llttlo 11-year-old girls may be ex amined by physicians of Indiana Uni versity for the "bump of criminality" which caused them to enter into a criminal career with a vengeance. They have been Incorrigible for several years, and their escapades culminated In what for an older per son would have been robbery, besides a Joy ride. Going to the home of a merchant, ono of tho girls asked if she might leave her apron there nnd entered Into conversation.. The man consented and loft the room for a few mlnute3. After the girls had left he discovered a wallet containing $17 had been stolen. Tho two girls, relating their esca pade later, said they proceeded to a Jewelry store, where one of them nurchaoed a gold bracelet. They then visited clothing stores and made lib eral purchases. When dressed in style, they called a taxi and ordered the driver to take them to a pleasure jark and later to a moving pirtuio show. After a choice dinner later at a cafe, tho girls bid the mone? i4iid wsit homo about midnight, alter ti wonderful day.
