dismissed with a brief review of recent
official dispatches. The only mention OF
American forces is as follows:
The mobilization of the National
Guard in their camps is proceeding
rapidly, and the formation of reorgan-
lied divisions is taking place. This re-
organization is necessitated by the con-
ditions of the present war. and requires
larger regiments and certain machine
gun and other units not typical hereto
fore. Some misunderstanding of the re-
organization has arisen, but its purpose
and military necessity are being ex-
planned, and the division commanders
are doing their utmost to preserve the
local associations and historic memories
of these state forces.
The assembling of the National
Army in the cantonments has gone on
with smoothness and success. Equip
ment difficulties are not serious and
are being rapidly overcome. The most
obvious shortage Is in rifles, but an
adequate supply for all purposes will
soon be at hand and no delay in train
ing results from the shortage. All
overseas forces are, of course. adequately
supplied.

indications are that the reichstag itsei1
