WASHINGTON, February 2.-By
Associated Press Cable)-Long discuss
ed plans for the reorganization of the
Army into six geographical depart
ments have been adopted and are an
nounced today. The present division
system is done away with, and Hawaii
is made a separate department to be
commanded by General Frederick Fun
ston. The Philippines will constitute
a second department, and the United
States is divided into four departments
which will probably be known as those
of the North, South, East and West.
General Funston is in command of
the department of Luzon at the pres
ent time.
While the announcement that Ha'
wall has been created a separate de
partment was not unexpected here, 10
cal army circles are somewhat surprised
AT the news that General Funston has
been placed In command of the new
department, as IL was generally sup
posed that under the reorganization
scheme as planned, the command OF de
partments would fall 10 major gen
erals.
The coming Of Funston, Il Is believed
will result IN General Maeomb asspm
ing command al kehoheid Barracks
