PIERCE TO APPEAR !.
FOR HEARING TODAY
Socialist Orator VIII Contest Case
of Being Denied Permit.

Julian Pierce, Socialist orator, who
defied the police order that no public
meeting be held in the District with
out the permission of the superin-
tendent and major of metropolitan
police, will appear in court today
and contest a case which the So
cialists claim is in the interest of the
preservation of the right Of free
speech to Americans.
The case first came up in court last
Saturday, but Pierce pleaded for a
delay of action in the proceedings on
account of his physical condition
after the arrest. Judge Pugh post
poned the case until today. Attorney
Howe, the noted "free-speech" lawyer,
will represent the Socialists in the
proceedings and will attempt to learn
the identity of the person or persons
who protested against the meetings
and was the cause of the revocation
of the permit
The defendants will attempt to have
Major Pullman give over the identity
of the complainant and give the
cause Of the revocation of the per-
nit to hold the meetings.
'If the case is not decided salts
factory to, our party in the lower
courts, the. Socialist party is ready
to carry it all. the way to the Su-
preme Court" declared Pierce. in an
interview. THUS it will be decided
once for all whether free speech is
to be denied to American citizens by
a superintendent of police or whether
the wording of the Constitution still
maintains its literal meaning"

Best Service Column in City.

The War Department has definitely
decided to increase materially the
limit of attendance at the second
series of Reserve Officers training
camps. Twenty thousand is the num-
Der mentioned at present. but it is
possible that this may be raised again
to 1900 or even 5000, in order to
accommodate as large a proportion
as possible of the great number of
applicants.
An emergency course" will be
started August 13 in the department
OF enlisted specialists at the coast
artillery school at Fort Monroe, Va.
Only especially qualified men are ad-
mitted, and from the course will be
turned out men technically trained
in electrical engineering. mathemati-
cal and other work which the coast
artillery corps has to do. Most Of
these men will be assigned to coast
defenses of the United States. but
some will be sent with each contin-
gent of troops which goes to France
to act as consulting experts in con-
struction and operation work assigned
to artillery.
The maximum number of students
who can be taken into the course
is 10 in the electrical course, 20 in the
clerical course. and so in the artillery
course. A new radio class can not
be admitted until about December l..
Applications for admission are made
through the department commanders
and cooperation by the newspapers
and other agencies has brought in
nearly as many applicants as can be
accepted. Some places, however, re-
main to be filled.
The artillery school for officers is
also located at Fort Monroe and has
about 100 men under training, of
whom about half will be graduated
in August. During the week of Aug
ust these officers will engage in
heavy-gun target practice.
Under the direction OF the general
medical board of the Council of Ma
tional Defense, the subcommittee on
| otolaryngology and ophthalmology
have sent out to practically every eye,
ear, and throat surgeon in the country
a questionable to learn the willingness
of these surgeons to enter military
medical service If a call were made
for them. Both committees report
that they will have a sufficient num-
Der of men to supply the needs of
the surgeon general.
With the idea in view that injuries
to the head seldom involve one struc-
! ture. the subcommittee on ophthalmol-
ogy determined some weeks ago to
join action with the subcommittee
on otolaryngology for the purpose of
devising the best means of bringing
all head subjects under one section.
To bring about this result, the exec
utive committee added to the person.
mel Of the subcommitte on otolaryn-
gology an oral surgeon. and to the
subcommittee on ophthalmology a
brain surgeon.
These committees. acting as a Joint
body, have made an exhaustive study,
and as a result recommended to the
surgeon general. through Maj. Lyster,
the advisability of the establishment
Of sections on survery of the head
in the base hospitals. Maj. T. c. Lys-
ter was assigned to make a thorough
study of the whole situation.

ARMY REORGANIzED
FOR WAR OPERATION
Corps and Divisions Unknown from
Mape-up of Military.

Army corps and armies. practically
unknown in this country since the
civil war, become a part of the milf
tary organization through an order
made public last night by the Adju-
tant Generals office.
Another important change is an in
crease In the ratio of artillery strength
to infantry strength. Machine gun
companies are increased.
The general order made public by
the Adjutant Generals office yester-
day provides for important changes
in the organization of the army. A
division will hereafter include only
four infantry regiments in two bri-
gades, in place of the old division of
three brigades, each comprising three
regiments of infantry. There will still
be three regiments of field artillery in
each division. Thus. in the new or
ganization there will be three regi-
ments of field artillery to every four
regiments of infantry instead of the
ratio of three to nine. In addition.
trench mortar battery is attached
to each division.
The American division will be made
by this order to conform practically
to the units utilized by the entente
allies. among whom a division num-
bers approximately 1900 men. The
reason for the change is that the d.
vision as heretofore made up of about
5000 men, is too unwieldy for the de-
mands of trench warfare.
The smaller sized divisions call for
maintenance of all units at full fight
ing strength. For this purpose re-
serve battalions provided will con-
sist of 612 men.
Each army corps will consist of
three infantry divisions. corps head
quarters and certain army corps
troops not specified. Each army will
normally consist of three or more
army corps, army headquarters and
certain army troops not specified.
The new organization provides for
no cavalry in the division. The order
specifies IS divisions of the national
army to be organized and numbered
from rs to 81. both inclusive, and
states the number to be given to each
of the different units in each division.
1t provides that the sixteen divisions
of the National Guard now organized
shall be reorganized to conform to the
new plan as soon as practicable after
their arrival in the training camp.

MOTHER o. MINE.

Her body now rests in its own mother
earth,
Her soul has gone back to the placs
Of its birth.
To our Father in Heaven, Whose
angels, twas clear,
Had even attended her while she
has here;
We have said to her ten pie Of clay,
goodbye"
But unto her spirit, which never can
die,
Our hearts but cling closer. we Just
love her more,
For, after all. she's only gone on
before.
She dwells now in glory, to God we
give praise,
She's perfectly happy. and will be
always;
With tender devotion and unselfsh
love,
She's waiting to greet US in heaven
above;
Yet, falrest of mothers, though hol-
den our eyes,
OF a truth you're still with us, we
realize,
And always you'll be just as near
and as dear
As when we could see you and your
voice could hear.
There's a hope which our hearts
with Joy and peace fills,
In spite of our sadness the thought
of it thrills.
For though we no more here can
look on your face,
In the land o. the leal we'll again
know your grace.
For we'll go there to you, we are
coming now,
Almost 1 can feel your dear kiss on my
brow,
And the touch Of your hand as It
clasped my own.
When Of old you blessed me, before
grief was known.
so, mother. farewellr' yet, It's but
for a time
That we shall be parted-soon,
through the sublime
OF unending aeons, we shall live and
love
Where God is the unalloyed gladness
thereof:
Not yourself. no, but those who are
left behind.
Have the hearts that are wounded
and hard to bind;
still we know that, sometimes, we
shall, one by one.
Be gathered where, with all Gods
saints. you have gone.
Where sorrows and partings are
nevermore known,
For there well eternally be with our
own;
Well live in the love light which
never grows dim,
And yet never tires US, SO pure Is
its gleam;
Soon cherubim, saraphim, saints we
shall meet.
And our Joy. forever, shall be made
complete; - ss-sv

The War Ia. Bin.

In defending the taxation measure,
favorably reported by the Finance
Committee, Senator simmons explain
ed one important amendment to the
House bill in this way:
"The House bin would impose a tax
of IS per cent on excess profits. Great
Britain's war profits are now taxed 30
per cent; canada's were increased
from Is to IS per cent; and the New
Zealand rate is 5 per cent. The
committee proposes instead of an ex-
cess-profits tax, a war-profits tax.
The change Of basis seems desirable
not only because 1t is equitable, but
because its successful collection will
be greatly facilitated. The commit
tee reached the conclusion that a
graduated tax, beginning with II per
cent and reaching 50 per cent at its
highest. would be far more equitable
than a fiat rate Of 16 per cent"
Senator Simmons is right. A grad
uated tax will be much more salts
factory to business under the condi-
tions. But the same query may be
propounded now, that was first
brought forward three weeks ago, aft
er the steel men had reached their
agreement with the government. AT
that time the administration wa
warning business that only reasonable
profits on war contracts" would be
tolerated. That warning is being rigor-
ously carried out. II only reason
able profits" are permitted. what
chance Is there to extract a large
measure of taxation from them. OBJ
viously. very little.
The income tax is greatly increased.
Incomes as low as $1,000 are included.
Four months ago 1t seemed impos-
sible that so drastic tax would have
the ghost Of a show of passing the
Congress OF the United States. Yet
here it is, a remarkable tribute to
the adaptability OF the nation. War
has caused a complete shift of our
mental viewpoint. Our antebellum
days seem as far away as they do to
Great Britain. There is no telling how
far away from the old moorings war
will lead US. All that we know now
is that there is a great duty con-
fronting the nation-a condition and
not a theory-and that we are meet
ing it as any great nation would.
Within the past few weeks a great
increase OF war expenditures has been
planned. Even before that they SEEM
ed large enough, and Congress was
strained to find new ways of placing
the taxation required; yet the new
levy has been met unfiinchingly, and
the American people are not in a fair
way Of meeting the oppressive bur-
den Of war to some measurable share,
at least, of that which has fallen
upon the nations of Europe. Our tax
alton bill will be heavy. AS a corol-
larry to the high cost Of living, which
shows no sign of reaction. It is going
to weigh heavily on the great bulk
Of the people. But there will be no
murmuring, no whimpering, provided
it fall justly and fairly on all, and
provided the wealthy tax dodger, who
has played such havoc with public
spirit in previous times, is given a
taste OF the punishment he deserves

The Possible and the Impossible.

While army officers express grave
doubt over the ability of American
shipping to transport and subsist a
big American army-that is, an army
of 100000 to 1900, ,OO0-to France
within the next twelve months, the
Washington Post laughs at such a
puny undertaking as unworthy Of SO
great nation as the United States,
! and says in effect that, if We cannot
do better than that, We deserve to
be classed with Holland or Rumania.
The Post says the United States
can shorten the war by putting an
army Of ,OO0,OO0-nay, of 1900, 900
on the Western front as quickly a:
possible, and adds that it Is not the
force we could exert, but the force
we do exert, against Germany that
will count in the end.
Perhaps the "caIl to arms" of the
Post is not so chimerical as it seems.
What the War Department thinks of
such figures has been stated repeat
edly in this column. Last night there
appears an inspired article, indicat-
ing that the army already is pre-
pairing to pass the buck" squarely
to the Shipping Board. Big armies? =?
Yes, We will have them, and
promptly, too; but can we get them
across the Atlantic? That is a ship
ping, and not an army, problem, and
the War Department is already see
ing to it that there will be no con-
fusion of the two in the public mind.
The army does not want any public
bareback" over shipping to be de-
flected in its direction.
1t is the conviction of Americans
that the country should have an
army of at least one million men in
France when the 1918 offensive starts.
1t Is not divutging any secret to say
that the great majority of army men
believe the task will not be done.
They do not pretend to be shipping

the task of transporting an army,
and of keeping it adequately sup
piled overseas. They have given
some study to the whole problem. If
the ships are Forthcoming, then we
will constitute a real factor on the
Western front next spring, but not
otherwise.
But talk of 100000 to 100000 men
in France is idle. Such an army,
even assuming that it could be
transported within the next eighteen
months, would provide a subsistence
problem beyond all shipping possi-
bilities. Frequent references are
ma ie to what the Canadians have
do n getting troops across the At
laL &C. It must not be forgotten that
all the colonials have been supplied
and maintained by Britain. Ameri-
can troops will be maintained by
their own government; America
would brook no other arrangement,
even If 1t were advantageous, which
1t would not be.
