NEW PLAN OF THE WAR DE-

316,264 ENLISTED MEN
Ready to Respond Without Confusion to a Call for Emergency Service Each State Assigned Quota.

Washington. Feb. 14-DetaiIs of the war departments plan for organizing the regular army and the militia of the various states into field armies, ready to respond without confusion to a call for emergency service, are given in a circular issued today by the mil itia division of the department.
 Twelve Militia Divisions.
 Creation of twelve militia divisions with headquarters in each district, is contemplated. Each state is assigned it's definite quota. of troops to be fur nished. In the four proposed field ar mics there will be in all 316, ,264 en- listed men in addition to some thou sands who would be employed in time of actual war at depots and in trans pOrtation operations.
 The circular shows that most of the states already maintain as many men as will be needed in the infantry and light artillery branches, but there is a serious shortage in coast artillery, cav airy and sanitary corps. States conse- quently are urged to transfer their unitized infantry units to other branches of the service to complete their share in the divisional oTganiza- tion

 At Il o'clock the authorities had street lights of Ottawa turned out and at the same time the lights on the parliament grounds were shut off, while those of the parliament buildings were obscured by the drawing of win dow blinds.
 The BroC}Ville message came from the chief of police of that town and stated that three or four aeropIanes had been observed to cross the St. Lawrence river. from a. point in New York state near MoTristown and after dropping light balls had headed north in the direction of Ottawa

Irigadier General Clarence R. Ed wards, commander of the canal zone. forces, has sent a long report to Ma ior General Leonard Wood which has the endorsement of Colonel Ctoethals. in which he recommends the disarm- ing of the Panaman police and the po- licing of the Panama and Colon with zone police. If an appropriation IS not available for this purpose, General i'd wards suggests the use of soldiers
 It is understood that General Wood will lay the matter before the Wash ington authorities at an early date, in order to avoid incidents similar to that of last night and also on July 1. 1912 when four American soldiers were kill in the TenderlOin district by Panaman policemen. Under the treaty with Pan anna the United States has the right to take such action.

AMBASSADOR GERARD TO
 CONFER WITH THE KAISER
German Emperor Has Invited Him to
 the Battle Front

Washington, Feb. 14-Press reports announcing that the German emperor had invited Ambassador Gerard to confer with him at the battle front were read tonight with keen interest JE officials of the United States gov ernment. Aside from the indication that the American note had produced an impression of supreme importance 1t was thought the emperor had de- clded on a conference so quickly be- cause only four days remain before the German admiralty's proclamation for a submarine campaign on merchant ships goes into effect
 It was believed here that the am DassadOr might explain at length the American viewpoint, aS he is reported to have done in a. conferance with the imperial chancellor inn edfately after the note was presented at the foreign office. Tn many quarters it was sup posed that one Of the chief purpo ses of the informal conference with Am baSsador Gerard was to elicit from the American government some under standing as to it's position regarding shipments Of conditional contraband destined to Gernlany's civilian popu1a- uOn InasnTuch as the German sea war zone proclamation is described lies because of the alleged interfer- ence by the latter with shipments of foodstuffs destined for the population of Germany the growing importance of this question was admitted on all sides here.

BELGIUM's POPULATION
 REDUCED BY 6oo,ooo
A Condition Without Parallel in the
 Worlds History.

New York, Feb 14-BeIgium' pop uIation has been reduced by 600, 900 as a, result of the war and her condi- ton presents a, situation without par- aLel in history, says a report issued tonight by the Rockefeller Foundation from it's war relief commission sent to investigate the effects of the war upon non-comOatants. It is the first report from the commission which went to Belgium last November.
 After detailing how means Of trans pOrtatiOn. communication and banking exchange have been destroyed, com Tnerce and industry paralyZed, homes and other buildings laid low. the agri- cultural districts devastated and the food supply virtually cut off, the report says:
 Yet if one is to understand the Belgian problem 1t is perhaps neces- Sary to emphasize not the destitution of few hundred thousand but the SuddenE enforlced inactivity of a strong and healthy nation of 1000, ,000
 This is what makes the Belgian sit nation thing without parallel in his tcrv
 After stating that there are 320 900 Belgian refugees in Holland and 100, = 0eo in England, the report says that the number of people who are still in Belgium, but who have been driven out of their homes, has not yet been drawn off 25O, GOO men.
 Tn the destruction of homes and property the report says, I've found people living in cellars under the ruins of their homes, in lofts over, the coal stalls, saw children that had been born in hen coops and pigstys and learned of one man who consfd- cred that he was doing well when the population of his poultry house was reduced from 22 to Is refugees
 Tn Wise there were 1900 families We did not see a dozen houses stand ing. In Uouveigne, 70 out of 150 houses were destroyed. In Tremeloo. half of the houses were razed.'
