Reorganizing the Army.

heorganlzing the Army.
With the reorganization of the
American division from its pre-war
footing of approximately $4,000 men
to the French basis of 10000 men,
come changes that upset the whole
idea of war as they have learned it,
and a redistribution of duties that
sounds rather formidable.
Formerly a company consisted sim
ply of the company commander, two
officers, two musicians, a cook and
two men. Now that is all changed.
There is the commander and his Off
Ger Of liasOn, or connecting link with
the company, his lieutenants and the
musicians and the cook, but with the
addition of mOtorcyclists, farriers,
signal corps men, mechanics, bomb
ers, sappers, automatic riflemen in
addition to the machine gun company
of the regiment, messengers, sharp
shooters, etc.
The company Is divided into
platOOns. Even the platOons are sub
divided into groups. The first group
may be bayOnet men, who "go over
the top" and lead the charge. The
second group Is the bOmbers. They
charge with the bayonet men, but
when the latter have attained their OBJ
jective and may still push forward,
the bombers stay behind to "clean up"
the captured trenches, and see that
the enemy, emerging from their dug
outs, do not take the riffemen In the
rear.
Instead Of having machine gun
to each regiment, as former
ly, there is a machine gun company
TO each battalion. There is a COM
Dany of pioneers which supports the
in their advance. Before they
are out of their own trenches, the
trench mortar company, a new thing
TO the American army, must get in it's
work.
Each man must learn his new du-
ties and how and when to fulfil them
TO the utmost advantage. Each man,
IN addition to his regular and regi-
mental marking, is badged to show
his post is behind or in front
If the lines. Messengers wear spe-
cial insignia that permits them to
pass to the rear without the slightest

announced this afternoon.
Because OF the depreciation In the
value Of German, Austrian. italian
and French currency n refund pro-
portionate to the depreciation viii be
given on all goods imported from
those countries since the depreciation

The refund date on German importa-

per mt January, 1915, and italian IN
Fe ry, 1915. The depreciation In
French currency has been marked
only during the last few weeks.
The principal refunds will be made
on goods imported from France and
Italy. There has been little buying OF
German or Austrian goods by Amert-
can importers since the beginning OF
the war.
Whenever the depreciation in the
currency of any country is more than
10 per cent the same principle will
be applied to imports from that coun-

FOR EXPRESS RATE
INCREASE. TODAY

The Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion today resumed hearings on the
proposal to grant a 10 per cent In
crease in express rates. The frst
witness, c. W. Stockton, representing
the Wells Fargo Company, as well as
the other companies, said that IL the
10 per cent increase was granted 1t
would not bring the companies earn
ings up to the 1914 level. He
claimed that while gross earnings
have been increased 10 per cent since
1914, expenses have increased 80 per
cent, due principally to labor. Many
of the most efficient employees have
been withdrawn for military service
or to engage in war work at salaries
greater than the express companies
could afford to pay. This has d.
minished the efficiency OF the com
panies.
H. B. Warren and 7. n. Hall, repre-
senting respectively the Minnesota
and Nebraska State Railway Commits
sions, who are appearing for the ship
pers, maintained all the companies,
with the exception OF those in the
East, were making plenty OF money.
