GENERAL PRICE MAY BE
HEAD OF NEW BRIGADE
1 OF STATE ARTILLERY
Camp Stewart Gossip Active as
to Choice of Brigadier for
Command Just
Formed
MosELY A POSSIBILITY

CAMP STEWART, Ell PASo, Tex, Aug
Speculation is active here today as TO
whether a western Pennsylvania brigadler
,r an eastern Pennsylvania brigadler. or
r.,tber of these, but an elevated regular
.rnv man, is to command the new artillery
brigade.
prevailing opinion here Is that General
william G. Price, of Philadelphia, now In
eommand of the First Brigade OF infantry,
and the man who has battled for Ave years
for an artillery brigade with Philadelphia
regiment will be honored.
staff and line officers of the First Penn
.vIyania Field Artillery. Pittsburgh Colonel
w S. Mckee commanding, unanimously
declared today that they would support
General Price in any effort that might be
made to give him command over them.
First reports from Harrisburg, however,
,ndIoated that General Frederick w. Still.
we'll, Of the now obsolete Fourth Brigade,
rad been the capitals choice to head the
new organization.
And indications at division headquarters
bere today emphasize the possibility that
neither of the brigadiers but Colonel George
VanHorn Mosely. chief of staff to Major
Ceneral Charles NJ. Clement, may be the
commander.
Announcements of the facts that the
brigade will be mobilized here and that Col
onel Mosely had gone to Eagle Pass to
take examinations preliminary to a trans
fer 10 the artillery were made simuta-
neousy Mosely is regular army man.
The new brigade will consist of the pres
ant artillery regiment, the First, OF Pitts
burgh; the converted Second Infantry. of
Philadelphia, and the converted Ninth In
fantry, from wilkes-Barre.
Philadelphia troops here are jubilant to-
day as a result of the change in plans that
gives the Quaker City representation in
the artillery, and Pittsburgh militiamen of
the Second Brigade are exulting with
them.
.. INVENTORY MADE TODAY.

SLEEPY SQUAD PENALIZED

Blistered Hands Follow Hardness

By a Stag Correspondent

Ell PASo, Tex, Aug. 11.-Private Vic

B. Given that the fifth squad of Company
], First Infantry, is known throughout the
regimental quarters at Camp Stewart, El
Paso, as the sleepy squad" Given asks
Ecker to explain how he is to blame when
Ecker admits that II Is impossible to sleep
until a. m. on account of Glven's singing.
Anyhow, the whole squad from Corporal
Spence to Private Ecker is nursing blis-
tered hands after day OF pick and shovel
exercise, following the failure OF the entire
squad to respond at reveille rollcaIl. They
weren't missed until Spence's failure to re-

to be left to their fate. And Brussiloff is
daily adding to his brilliant successes
On the 4th of June 1000 men formed
the Austrian troops on the Russian frontier.
1t is no exaggeration to state that of these
only one-fourth were left by July 6. More
than 100000 prisoners were taken by the
Russians
The German plan of campaign had been
to tackle the Allies in the west, and once
having thoroughly crushed them, to turn
to the Russians in the east
TEUToNIC CAMPAIGN PLAN.
But such a plan of campaign depends
entirely on a free hand" And where dis
position of forces Is concerned the Germans
have not had free hand.
For they have not merely met with i'm
mense casualties, but with something euual-
ly disastrous from the military point of
view-and that is dlsorganzation.
In battle where one-fourth of the enemy
force is incapacitated by casualty it is
futile to ignore the fact that at least one
fourth more will probably be, incapacItated
by dlsorganizaton.
If the disorganiZation, then, is propor-
tionate to the casualties, victory over the
enemy Is infinitely more rapid.
mot only have we caused the Germans
immense losses" wounded officer lust
arrived In London told me, but at the
same time we have caused great dlsorgani-
zation in their troops. AS their numbers
dwindle down they are forced to fall back
more and more on their artillery This
makes their organization more and more
delicate"
