Congress May Take
Stump to Discuss
Prosecution Of War

y. # x
Washington, Aug. 9.-Congress may
turn itself into a huge chautauque
when 1t finishes work here to enltght-
en- every section Of the country on the
need for prosecuting the war vigorous
ly, not only as war for world democ-
racy but as fight for American rights
and preservation.
President Wilson himself may do
his bit" in the same direction, possibly
by q speech on some occasion or by q
letter to congressional leaders.
Tho plans were in nebulous state
today, congressional leaders were talk
ing Of practically putting congress on
the stump by asking every represent
atlve and senator to go thru his dis
trict during the recess speaking on the
part Of the United States in the war
and emphasizing that the United States
is fighting for the future not Of the
world but Of itself.
Those who favor the plan point out
that the country Is hearing many agi-
tators who oppose the draft and par
ticipation in the war. They think that
fathers and mothers who are giving
sons to the colors should hear some-
thing on the other side Of the question
and from official sources.

General Pershing Sends
Recommendations for Re-
-

WILL BE ADOPTED
Reduction in Divisions to 1900 Mon
and Revival Of Old Army Corps Ma
jor Tactical Unit Likely to Follow
Recommend da ations-Wiii Create Ad-
ditionaI Vacancies in Grades Of Ma
jor and erieadier General.

Washington, Aug. 9.-Reduction OF
the strength of American army diVi-
sions to the European standard of l9,-
900 men and revival of the old army
corps major tactical unit was recon-
mended, it was learned today, BY
Major Genera PersEing, after care
tul study of conditions at the front.
American officers are convinced that
sound military reasons induced the
French and British war offices to
adopt this tactical formation for trench
warfare.
Reduction of the divisions means
big job for the war department. Mucn
administrative work already completed
probably will have to be thrown aside
and done over. General Pershing's
recommendations are positive, however,
and the departments attitude Is the
same as It was toward General Fun
aton during the Mexican trouble. The
wishes Of the man on the ground. on
whom rests the responsibility of actual
operations. will be met as far as is
practicable. One effect OF the reduc-
tions of both brigades and divisions
will be to create many additional va
cancies in the grades of major and
brigadier general.
Navy Buys Canned Pineapples.
The navy department today placed
orders for 1,6S7,5O0 pounds Of canned
pineapples, years supply for the At
lanttcT feet and east coast navy yards

Orders for similar supply for the
west. coast yards will be placed later.
Firms dividing the big order are: The

they become law with the presidents
signature. The president will sign the
bills tomorrow after the presiding Of
fcers Of the senate and house affix
their signatures. Il
Final congressional action came yes
terday when the senate approved tho
conference reports on both bills. The
