The mistake was not discovered until
several hours after the country had

The true version, II appears, is that
the merchant ships, of which the West

marines in force off the coast of
France on September and that in
the fight two of the merchant ships
were lost, and probably one of the sub
marines was sunk
The merchant fleet, of which the
Westwego was one. was on the way to
Europe from the United States when
attacked The vessels were under
convoy, but no details received
Names of the two ships sunk were not

Unless the government can make
some provision which will relieve the
situation, hundreds of young officers
of moderate means at Camp Custer
face financial difficulties which may
prove disastrous to their ambitions.
The cost of an officers outfit is prov
ing a stumbling block in the path of
glory which apparently few of the men
had anticipated.
Three hundred dollars is said to be
the least for which proper outfit can
be purchased and even this does not
include all essentials and absolutely
makes many comforts impossible.
Four hundred dollars Is a closer esti
mate and there are hundreds of Off
GERS who haven't the money or means
of getting it.
Talk with any young officer reveals
the fact that the situation is critical.
Each man knows of dozens OF others
who frankly admit their inability to
purchase the outfit which the regula-

The majority of the officers are

of this he is compelled to buy his food,
his clothing. his field equipment, his

State Units to Be Reorsanized.

Complete reorganization Of the
Michigan troops which make up the
National Guard is called for in orders
received by Colonel Ambrose c. Peck,
of the Thirty-frst regiment, from Ma
jor-General Trasker II. Bliss, acting
chief of staff
Instead of there being three regi-
ments OF 2,O02 men each. there are TO
be two regiments of 9006 each at the
start.
If the three regiments are to be
made over into two, there will be
enough men to fill the quotas. but one
section OF the order indicates that
there is to be- an additional regiment
formed later. to be known as train
ing unit. This Will mean that there
will be three regiments in short time
so that 1t is doubtful il any one CT
the three Michigan, regiments is to be
split up. The third regiment, however,
may never go to France. This point is
not made clear in the present orders.
The chief difficulty, according to Col
onel Pack, will be to find the addition
al 1000 men for each OF the regiments.
Whether these 5000 embryo soldiers
will come from the drafted army or
some other source Is not clear.
The reorganization calls for compan-
les of $50 men each instead. of $50.
Also. there will be three machine gun
companies in each regiment. instead
of one. as at present. This is held TO
mean promotions for officers.
The changes in the guard are order
ed to take effect when the troops are
established in the. divisional quarters
