proceed at once to the important work
OF reconstruction. One of the first
measures in that direction will be COM
plete reorganization of the Greek army
so as to make it worthy Of the country
and real factor in the situation.
Increase in the Army
1T Is proposed to increase the pres
ent strength of the army, amounting to
three divisions, TO ten divisions. NJ
Venlzelos and our military advisers are
confident that this increase and the
complete equipment Of the army can be
carried out so as to place full force
Of men in.the Greek divisions in the
next four months.
Concerning recruiting there can be
no doubt. This will remain wholly with
VI. Nenizelos and the Greeks. In the
matter Of munitions. heavy artillery
and other supplies and equipment the
cooperation of France and Great Brit
ain will be required Our military ad-
visers who accompany me have exact
details in regard TO Just what this
equipment must be in order 20 make
the new Greek divisions thoroughly ef-
fective, and | am confident this branch
OF the reconstructive work will be car
ried out rapidly. The army is being
reorganized on most efficient basis.
After being torn by internal dis
sension for the last two years, Greece
finds her financial resources sadly de-
pleted, and she needs and expects
friendly cooperation and assistance Of
those great powers which wish TO see
the smaller nations placed on a firm
and enduring foundation.
Aid from America Expected
Great Britain and France may be
depended on for the army reorgani-
zation, and in the same way we shall
hope TO have the powerful assistance
of the United States in realizing. eff
fective reorganization of the civil
branch. Americas cooperation will be
a most precious factor"
NJ. Jonnart next outlined important
constitutional and parliamentary re-
forms which it is proposed to carry
out.
THE constitutional reforms have

tion concerning the abdication of the

the succession of Alexander by max

dication and succession were effective

Will Be Press Agents
Poles and Russians in Camp to

Letters Abroad
tBy Telegraph To The T1bunel

Plattsburg, July 11.-More than a
hundred student officers will demon
strste tomorrow that the pen is as
mighty as the sword. Under orders
from the commandant all the natural
lied Poles and Russians in the camp
will be organized to press-agent the
cause Of the Allies in their native coun-
tries. Following a lecture embracing
the reasons for the entry of the United
States in the war, they will be asked
to set forth the facts in letters to
friends and relatives or the other side
and urge them 10 fight on without
thought Of separate peace.
An order forbids the men to purchase
milk from a local company which has
been maintaining a price of eight cents
a quart for civilians and ten cents Tor
soldiers. Officials Of the company have
likewise been warned not TO enter the
grounds of the reservation. Another
order states that all men before becom-
ing eligible for commissions must learn
how to swim. Much interest was ex-
cited by this decision, since it brings
home TO the men the submarine perlIs
to be encountered when transported
overseas.
Artillery practice was actively en-
gagged in to-day for the first time, and
the men were timed on their speed in
loading and firing. No shells were act
ually fired, but at the moment the lam
yard was ready to be jerked the COM
manding officer would raise hand as
a signal for the stop watches. Under
the instructions of Captain McGill, Of
the New York regiment. the men will
practise bomb throwing next week. In
addition to throwing. the men will be
taught how TO dodge the missiles and
even to catch and hurl them back.
A group of Canadian officers OBJ
served that they marched like seasoned
soldiers. One declared that an army OF
100. 900 equally intelligent men could be
made n deciding factor in the war.
