COnsiderab BILE interest has been
aroused in army circles and is felt
strongly in South Bend over the pos
sibility that reorganization of the in
fantry regiments may be adopted by

TO each infantry company. The
change proposed also includes the
increase of the machine gun com
pany from "A men TO 147 enlisted
men and four officers with an equip
ment of l. Nlcer-MaXim machine
guns. The infantry company ma
chine guns would be of the Lewis

national guard The new arrange
ment would make the number Of
companies 10 a battalion but three

LABOR TO NAME
TICKET TONIGHT
So Declare Officials But All
Deny knowledge of Any
Candidate.

The plot thickens; also the mys-
terry. Reference Is made to the la
Dor union mass meeting to be held
tonight in Central Trades and labor
hall on :. Michigan st. for the pur-
pose of putting a municipal labor
ticket i'm the field.
Not even the latest edition of
sherlock Holmes might have learned
last night the personnel of the pro-
posed slate Candidates and sug-
sessions for candidates were as
scarce as Teuton prOpagandists in
London.
Miller Declares Innocence.
Pres't Miller of Central Labor
union declared that he was as guilt
less of a candidate as a June DAY is
OF a snow storm. But" declared
this local leader last night. there is
jolly sure going 10 be "A meeting to-
morrow night and there viii he

no one has mentioned a single name
for any of the city jobs though it is
very likely, indeed, that we Will

pointed at what they believed was

The idea was first given pracu-
cal impetus at that time when "a
