ENLISTED ORDINANCE
CORPS TO BE ORGANIZED
Will Have Strength of 10000 Men
To Care for Repair of
Artillery.
tBy Associated Press.l

WASHINGTON, August 25.-Organi-
zatioN of an enlisted ordnance corps
OF the national army. with a total
to-day's army orders, all members OF
the existing ordnance enlisted reserve
corps being transferred to the new
establishment. 1t will comprise the
mechanical force to care for the repair
of ne artillery of the lighting branches
of the army. There will be $500
ordnance -SerGcants. 400 sergcants OF
first class. 1000 sergennts, 5000 cor
porals. 400 cooks. $500 privates first
class. and 1900 privates in the new
corps. 1t will be divided into units
suitable for work with divisions in
training or in the field or at the ard
nance depots and repair shops be-
hind tho lines.
Some idea OF the work that must
be done in replacing and repairing
guns may be gained from the fact
that on any section of the western
front. every artillery piece actively
engaged must be replaced every 100
days. y new gun must be brought
ur and placed on the carriage as the
old one will have been shot out" in
that time, and must be refined In
addition. damages to guns in action

fers Open House and Use Of Its
Facilities to Visiting Soldiers.

In general way everybody knows
about what tho Young Mems Christian
Association and the Young Womens
Christian Association are doing in the
city OF Jichmund. Specifically. no one
knows the extent OF the work that
either organization does along con-
structive lines. Take the Girl-and- the
soldier problem. which is facing every
city near a cantonmcnt. or where troops
arc modified.
1t is Il many sided problem. Social
workers, churches, philanthropists, all
have advanced their theories on the
best way to meet tho exigency OF a
situation which demands Infinite tact
above all things. and sureness OF
touch in the handling.
But they are wise women at the head
of the Young Women's Christian Ass,
ciation--wisc and kindly and good
and they know girls from all points OF
view. their strength and their weak
ness. and so these women are meeting
this problem in the only way in which
ii can be met, by being absolutely
honest and aboveboard with the girls
themselves and inviting their trust and
confidence and their pride in an organ.
iZation which recognizes and appre-
ciates the fact that, first, the girls
and soldiers are going to be together,
and since they, are going to be to-
gethcr. it is infinitely better to make
II possible for them to BIO together
under good conditions than otherwise.
Therefore. the soldier friends of the
girls will be welcomed in the parlors
OF the central building. as well as at
the boarding homes. SO that no girl
will be under the necessity of meeting
soldier clandestinely.

long as Mexico was able 10 take metal
lie reserves from the banks the govern
ment had a means to pay the soldiers.
But now all the banks in Mexico City,
Vera Cruz and other large cities have
been completely looted, so that the
gravest problem is to raise money for
the 10000 soldiers. A foreign loan,
which has long been abjured with con-
tempt by the Mexioans, now seems
necessary for the maintenance Of the
military power by which President Car
rama is kept in Office. The feeling is
here that Carranza ultimately will ef-
feet a loan from the United States even
if. to do it, he will have to make con-
cessions that will be obnoxious to the
Mexican proletariat.
The United States alone is feeding
Mexico. Farmers in Mexico have not
been nlanting, because they fear even
though they could produce good crops
thew would be robbed by soldiers:
Flour. lard and salmon are imported
