The Department of City Transit has SS7.424.4S8 in loans to spend on the clty'n high-speed lnes and a possible borrowing capacity of J14.000.00P. This la mors than the combined resources of all the other city departments. Director Twlnlng's present plan call for tho completion of a section of the Frankford elevated line during the Smith administration Proposals for parts of the work between Arch and Brldgo afreets will he asked for In the near future. The department alicady has. completed field work and plans fpr undertakings that will keep an army of employes busy for this and several years to come. Tho Transit department fared best In loan authorizations under tho present administration. It was first given JJ6.000.000 for a section of the Broad street subway and a part of the Frank ford elevated. In 1916 It was allottod 157,100,000 for the completion of the llroad street subway and the construc tion of high-speed lines running through suburban sections. War Halts Work Started When thu world war started the de partment had Just gotten work under way on tho City Hall section of the mibwny and preliminary work on the Frankfort! elovatcd. Contracts let be fore this country entered tho war In cluded the. Arch and Iiocust streets sec tions and tho Thompson street sewer. Two sections of tho Broad street sub way wero also let. but In some Instances contractors refused to enter Into the con tracts. Others entered Into nnd Juit begun were annulled by City Councils and tho Mayor. In one way or another the department -encountered many dclayo In getting work unaer comracr. r.vcn ancr wonc naa been let engineering difficulties aroo that resulted In more delay and In tho In stance of tho City Hall subway con tract, held by the Keystone Stato Con struction Company, caused tho prlco to nearly double. Hardly had tho Keystone Comrany been granted a contrnct for tho work at Jl.767,320 than the discovery was made that the foundations1 of City Hall would not servo with so great an excavation beneath them. -foundations Had to Tie Underpinned "Work was stopped and engineering experts mado exhaustlvo examinations and decided that the massive founda tions would have to undergo a process of underpinning. This caused addi tional cost nnd already $2,830,000 has been paid to tho contractor doing the combined work ot subway construction and underpinning. This work Is the only large municipal undertaking that has been pressed with anything llko top speed throughout the sixteen months this country" was an ac tive participant In the war. It Is ex pected that when completed It will have coat the city In excess of 13,000,000. It la now more than 75 per cent complete, but will require many months to finish. A total of $7,400,000 has been set nslde by Councils for the construction of the Frankford elevated from Arch to Ithawn street, but the department now estimates that this Bum only will put In operating shape a section as far as Bridge street, leaving the remaining three-and-one-half miles for completion when more loan funds are provided for the purpose. 13,336,073 Already raid Out Already $3,336,072 has been paid out on the construction item. The engineer ing part of tho undertaking has cost $121,803 nnd the remaining $4,000,000 will bo eaten up in contracts that will be let this spring and summer. In addition to the moni- already spent on the Frankford elevated and on the Broad street subway under the pub lic buildings the department has paid out $100,000 for work done on the Thompson street sewer; $406,000 In In terest charges on borrowed money and $1,100,000 on the loop upon which work was stopped when the contractors and the city reached an amicable agreement of settlement last year. Estimated Cot Many .Million, short The actual cost of completing the city's high-speed system as agreed upon under enabling acts of Councils and con firmed by (he Items In the large transit loan authorization has been variously estimated at different times during the prevalence of high prices but every esti mate differs from those that preceded It. It Is known, howeer, that at existing prices the possible $72,000,000 of loans authorized and loans possible under the latest borrowing power will be many millions short of the grand total. In Illustrating the curtailment brought about by existing prices of steel and other materials, officials of the depart ment today pointed out the fact that the $26,000,000 already authorized hv i u)Uiici iu uuuu me uroaa street sub- way the length of the city's main thor oughfare, win De naroiy enough to con struct a subway from Oregon avenu north to City Hall, leaving the greater nonnern siretcn or me street unpro vided for.

Clark has lost a leg. and has been recommended for the Distinguished Service Cross. Latell. terribly wounded, will walk with a limp as long as he lives, for one leg Is shorter than the other. Ho killed six Germans with his bayonet before they "got" him. Cor poral Brooks, recovered from many wounds, was decorated by General Pershing himself with tho "D. S.

They were members of the Seventy ninth Compnny, Sixth Regiment of marines. Twenty-nino other men In this company alone were cited for heroism. Private Clark comes from Houston, Texas. Ho was knocked down nt Cha-. teau-Thlerry hy a high-explosive shell, wounded In several places. For more than three hours he lay on the battle, field. As he lay there he was wounded ngain and again, so that when the strctcher-benrers came he had fourteen wounds. One leg had to be amputated Just above the knee.

They fixed me up nt the field dressing station ' Behind these two flesh wounds lies a story ot cool bravery ' They wen him his decoration. The fighting had been Intense. As tho marines camo up to hold the line, the French dashed back, yelling, as Brooks tells It, "Boucop Bosches Paris est ! Ilnls."

In tho face of a killing machine-gun fire, knelt down In front of the officer to shield him from further Injury, and applied tourniquets so the officer would not bleed to death. He finished the Job, though the Oerman machine guns got him before he was through. Corporal Brooks was wounded again nt "Hell Woods" on July 3, this time In the left leg above the knee. Again he refused to be evacuated to a hospital. On September 16. at St. Mlhlel. how ever, the Germans "got him for fair," as ho says. Two machine-gun bullets In each leg brought him down helpless, and he was packed oft to a base hospital. It was when he was convalescent In the base hospital that he received his decoration. His bravery had been noted and reported, but In the confusion his company had lost track of him. So a notice was published In the Stars and Stripes, the army's newspaper, asking him to write tb the Adjutant General Deeuraled Ily Gen. Pershing A week or so after he did go General Pershing dashed up to the hospital In a staff automobile, nurses, oflicers and convalescents were turned out on the parade ground, and Brooks tho only man there to be decorated had the cioss pinned on his blouse by the commander-in-chief of the American Expeditionary I'orces His citation lead: "At Bouresches,' France, on June 6, he was conspicuous for the heroic action ' VV" of placing his body In front of his pla toon leader while under heavy machine gun fire, In order that he might dress the latter'a wounds.

H6ro Marines March Amid City's Cheers Continued from rase On Chateau-Thierry, at Hell Wood, at Sols sons nnd at a score of lesser fights. They were' greeted by the spectators as was due tho men who did more than perhaps any other unit to turn tho t(dc of victory against the Germans. Submhrlne Heroes In Line v After tho veterans from tho marine corps came tho overseas bluejackets, men from the destroyers and submarines who helped win the war by keeping the ocean lanes clear for our freight ships and transports. Tho Bushncll, mother ship of submarines, and the submarines that camo home with her recently, were rep resented by tholr full complements. The crowds looked curiously at these sturdy young' fellows who had gone down under tho sea after tho Germans. Tho "sub" crews carried banners, with their service chevrons painted on them, tho names of their Bhlps and hero and there a pithy record ot achievement, such as "fifteen months In tho Irish Sea." There were souvenirs, too. of Ger man submarines that had been "got" by tho submarines whOBe crow marched In line. Thcro was "a lifo ring from the Uermnn "U-50," which tho American "L-4" sank nfter a two-hour battle. In which tho American crnft barely cs- capcu. Thcro was another live ring from the German U-62, which tho American L-2 sent to tho bottom. And most prized possession of the fighters on tho subma rines there was the white bull terrier which Captain Frledell, of tho Bushncll', got In London, and which wore a blanket bearing tho legend "Dog of War." It was tho mascot of tho undersea Ashlers. Following theso men from tho sub. marines and tho no less active destroy. Lers with their banners, too, telling of iiiuiiins speni pucning anu tossing in tho Icy gales of the Irish Sea came the wounded men of tho marine corps. Silent Tribute to Wounded Men Tho crowd grew silent as theso he. roes npproached. They wero borne in automobiles, for they nro still too weak front wounds or too badly crippled to march in line. Tho crowds craned their necks to get a better look at these quiet, cheerful men, who smiled and bovved or raised their hands to their caps' In military salute, In answer to tho cheering which broke forth Invariably after the first pause of awe and respect. Tonight a box party will be given at tho South Broad Street Theatre by Major and Mrs. Diddle In honor of Major General and Mrs. Barnett The others of the party are Mrs. Hiram Bearss, wife of Colonel Bearss, Col onel and Mrs. Hamilton DIsston Eouth, General and Mrs; Cyrus S.
