WAR COLLEGE
 ON NEW PLAN
At Meeting of Officers it is Proposed to Abolish De partments and Reorganize United States Army on Startling New Plan
ASSOCIATED PRESS DlspArcu1

" WASHINGTON. Jan. S-Gathcred at the war department today by special "rdcr-of Secretary Stimson. were most of the army officers in the actual gen cral command. for a conferences which Is expected to have important results in shaping the future organization of the army
 The movement began last summer. when after years of hard work the war college evolved an elaborate scheme for 4 reorganization. The comanding gen erals met today after d careful study of the report. to frame drafts of Bills and outline executive orders. The con ference was called to order by Secre- tary Stimson, who in a few words oX- plaincd his reasons for desiring the of ficcrs to gather in Washington while congress is in SeSisOn and matters of army legislation still pending. No at tempt was made at todaY's session to discus the complex program for rcor- ganization prepared by the war college but this will follow subsequent meet ings to be held at the war college be ginning tomorrow.
 The plan coptemblates the abolition
 
 the creation of brigaGes as units in different parts of the country. all so arranged and proportionej in respect to the various arms of the service as to be capable of concentration at a mo mant's notice into regular army corps.
 The sponsors for the plan of reor- ganization appreciate the fact that it cannot be carried out except in the face of much opposition. If the de partmcnts are abolished it will mean the passing also of a great many small posts throughout the country. q move that would certainly draw forth bitter opposition of many senators and repre- sentatives of states and localities in which army posts are located.
 Brigadier General William Crozier as president of the war college was first invited to address the meeting. He outlined the radical congress which is proposed to be made the existing or ganization of the army. It's purpose. he said. is to maintain a military es- tabIishmcnt hereafter on war basis pot in the matter of the number of troops but in arrangements and com mands and the creation of tactical units so that d splendid mechanism will be available and ready to respond at a moments notice to the call of danger
 This instead of the present system whereby the commander of the mili- tary department finds himself with severa! regiments of infantry at one roint. as many of cavalry at another arI a number of sea coast Gefenses to care for and little or no field artillery, one brigadier general will be placed in charge of the complete brigade with d proper complement in each branch of the service which would be capable of speedy concentration and utilization as a brigade when required.

PARIS, Jan. S.-It was learned here today that the great powers have practically reached an agreement to advise Turkey to recede from her position on the question of Adrian oplc, but the powers are not in harm ony concerning the disposition of the Aegean Islands.
 The triple entente of Great Britain, France and Russia is inclined to back the desire of the allies for the ce.5- sion of the island; to Greece, but the triple alliance of Germany, Austria and Italy. favors leaving to Turkey the islands near the Turkish coast, particularly those close to the Dard- enellcS
 Difficulty is experienced in the set tlement of the question of Albania as Austria shows no disposition to modify her attitude Austria is anX ious to include Scutari within the limits of the new Albania. It is un- derstood the powers will make no representations to the Porte before the end of the week

WILL THE CHIEF
 THINK II RIGHT?
Question is Raised as to What Will Be Opinion of Marshal Moore on ''The Third Degrees" Problem

This is the night of The Third Degree" the big police problem play at the Elks' thcatcr. And this is the night when for the first time in the history of Phoenix. the, head of the local police department will act in the capacity of critic for any news paper Chief of Police A. j. Moore better fitted to pass judgment upon play of this character than any other individual in this city bv req son of his long experience in the de- lection and suppression of crime. has q task cut out for him that should be entirely to his liking and incl dentally will assure the public of being given stra iShtforWard. un- biased opinion of the problem in Volved and the company presenting the attraction
 It IS unnecessary to go into the plot of The Third Degree" to create interest among the theater going pco- pie of Phoenix. In general way everybody who reads knows that The Third Degree" is built around just such incidents as resulted in the big Rosenthal murder case in New York city and brought about one of the greatest exposes of metropolitan police methods in modern history. It is play that was denounced by one element and praised by another dur ing it's long run in New York city. It provoked two kinds of comment in Chica go It brought scathing rebul<e from q Wisconsin police cap tain. And it still appeals to the peo- pie who believe in justice even to the criminal without subscribing to the theory that he should go unpunished when he has actually committed wrong
 There cannot fail to be interest among the readers of the Republican in what Chief Moore may have to say on Friday morning regarding his conception of the ethics of the prac ticcs presented in the guise of theatrical production. Would it do for such practices to obtain in the Phoenix police department? Does Chief Moore believe that such prac- tices should be allowed to exist in the metropolitan police department? Does Chief Moore believe they really do exist or ever did exist? Read The Republican tomorrow morning and see. Incidentally see The Third De gree" and see just how nearly your own views and those of Chief Moore coincide.

Balkan Delegates Have Con- fidcncc That the City Will Capitulatc to Sieg ing Force or to Pressure of Powers
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArcHl

LONDON. Jan S-Whcther Adrian Cple will capitulate to the sieglng force or yield because of the pressure brought to bear by the powers is the question which occupies alike the rcace delegates and the ambassador ial conference.
 The Balkan delegates have contl- Gence that Adrianoplc will yield to one pressure or another within frN days. The ambassadorial conference i5 marking time in the hope that the Adrianople difficulty will solve itself to make interference by the powers unnecessary. The conference is also hampered by an agreement that any decision for interference must be unlI- imous Should AdrianOple hold out and peace conference be suspended, it may become imperative for Europe to intervene to preserve her prestige enabling hcr to dictate the creation of an autonomous Albania and partit- iOning of the Aegean Islands.
 It is suggested that Adrianoplc must be ccded to the powers who would transfer it to the allies after permitting the Turks to depart with hOnOrs and guaranteeing the religious and property rights of the Turks. Some more radical dclegataes of the allies are holding that Europe should complete her work in eXpelling Turk ey by making Constantinople an autonomous city under European con troI and outline d system to give d real civilized gOvernemtn to Asia Minor.

HOW WOULD THIS DO
FOR LAKELAND9

We have frequently read of trou-
Die being experienced by various
boards of trade in making collec-
tons from the members promptly,
and this no doubt is one of the
worst troubles with which any
board has to contend, for, while a
man will join an organization Of
this kind, and will agree to pay the
stipulated dues, 1t soon becomes irk-
some, or something gets the matter.
and the first thing the board knows
there is one man-and no doubt
there are lots of him-who has
dropped out Of the paying habit,
and It Is often hard to get him to
catch up. which makes It then the
best thing for the board to do some
dropping. There Is one plan, how
ever, the one adopted by the Ocala
Board Of Trade, which we believe
could be tried rrofltably by others.
The plan 10 to get each member to
pledge himself to the support Of the
board, and then make arrangements
With the banks to collect from them
and let the banks charge the
amounts to tho accounts Of the
members. It Is said to have worked
most satisfactorily in Ocala, and We
give 1t for what it Is worth.-Fort
