Encouraging Factors Noted.

To make this estimate wholly fair.
the factors which are encouraging also
should be noted. Prices next year will
be high enough to enable the farmer. II
these other problems are met, to get a
price for his labor comparable with
that paid the worker in Industries. The
Department Of Agriculture has been put
on q war basis, and 1t has adequate
funds for the coming year, as 1t has
not had for the past season. Exemp-
ton of farm labor needful for agricul-
tural production has been embodied in
the new draft regulations. and the farm
worker now is classed with workers in
manufacture and commerce. Most inn
portant Of all. perhaps. is tho fact that
there now is time to cope with next
years problems, whereas hurried emer-
gency measures only were possible this
spring.
A constructive program already has
been evolved to meet these problems.
by far the most serious Of which Is the
labor shortage, described by one oncial
as much darker than has been stated
or realized by most persons" The
farmer will be appealed to to perform
his plain duty to plant every avail
able acre Of ground and to seek to
raise all that each acre will produce"
There is every confidence that the farm
ers will rally to this appeal

Chancellor Bewildered.

The present reorganization of the
governmental personnel. which is of
little moment as regards the internal
Chancellor Michaelis for the present
facing the question of characterization
or parliamentarization with the same
bewilderment as though he stood in
the presence of some exotic sea
monster. With us the making of his
tory appears to be the sole privilege
of the army"
The Lokal AnZeiger says:
III characterization has assumed
but modest proportions on this occa
sion, We can but welcome the circum-
stance, inasmuch rs We do not deem
II prudent 10 recenstitute ones dIveI
ing at time when world of enemies

prove that the emphasis has hean
placed not on principles, but on men.

War Department Order.

The War Department order for the
reorganization follows:
The ratio OF artillery strength to
infantry is greatly increased. A divi-
sion Will hereafter include only four
infantry regiments in two brigades in
place of the old division of three bri-
gades. each comprising three regi-
ments of infantry. There will still be
three regiments of field artillery in each
division. Thus. in the new organiza-
ton there will be three regiments of
field artillery to every four regiments
of infantry. instead of the ratio of
mortar battery is attached to each
division.
The machine gun arm is also mate
rally enlarged. A machine gun bat
talon of folr companies has been made
a unit of each division, in addition to
the three machine gun companies in
cluded in each regiment.
The American division will be made
by this order to conform practically to
the units utilized by the entente al
lies, among whom a division numbers
approximately 10000 men. The reason
for the change is that the division as
heretofore made up of about $4,000 men
is too unwisldly for the demands of
trench warfare. With SO large a unit,
sure and swift communication with all
parts is difficult. The problem to be
met was basicly one of mobility for
the peculiar needs of fighting on the
western front.

the changes from the present organixa-
ton being as indicated:.

cavalry in the division. The division as at

for one aero squadron, while the new plan
calls for none. the aircraft units being
otr arwise provided for.
The order specifies siXteeD divisions of
the National Army to be organized and
numbered from 76 to 81. both inclusive.
and states the numbers to be given to
each of the different units in each division.

plan as soon as practicable after their
arrival in the training camp.

To Oppose on Principle.

German socialists will oppose the
newly constituted government at Ber-
lin on principle, the socialist news
paper, Vorwaerts. declares in its COM
ment ION the ministerial appointments.
Persons SO foolish as TO expect a
great gain in the direction of a parlia-
mentary regime" says the Catholic
newspaper. Germania, will naturally
be disappointed" but it expresses the
opinion that the presence of Catholic
representatives in the government
greatly improves the system.
1t appears that DIR. SPAIN, leader
of the Catholic center paxty in
the .reichstag, will be forced to
retire from parliamentary life on
account of his appointment as Prus-
sian minister of justice. He must re-
sign his seat owing to the constitu-
tional proviso upon accepting the port
folio. but il is asserted there is moth
ing to prevent his standing for re-
election. He will accordingly do this,
though he cannot become a member of

movement in Belgium, said in an inter-

Worms took Austria Hungary as an
example of the movement for free
Flanders in Belgium.

OLD ARMY CORPS
PLAN IS REVISED
Reorganization Made Because
Divisions Were Too Cumber-
some for Trenches.
ARTILLERY STRENGTHENED

Decision of the War Department to
abandon the Army division of IS, 900 men
in favor of the continental unit of about
$4,000 troops was due. it was said to-
day. to changes in modern warfare that
made the old command unwieldy and
cumbersome in trench fighting. The
division under the old system was not
sufficiently mobile for the peculiar
needs of lighting on the western front"
Under the new plan. a division will
include two infantry brigades of two
regiments each. instead of three brigades
each. as formerly The artillery and
machine gun strength is materially in
creased. the cavalry regiment. now
prominent part of the unit. is eliminated.
a new trench motar battery is added
and the old army corps plan, abandoned
after the civil war. is again revived.
The sixteen divisions of the National
Guard. as now constituted. will be re-
aligned in conformity with the new
plan after the guardsmen reach their
training camps. No changes in camp
assignments 1t is presumed, will be in
VOWED. The National Army will be or
ganized from the start under this plan.
So far as the regulars are concerned, it
Is understood that the reorganization
already has been carried out for the
units now in France

WASHINGTON, June 22.-General
Sauier is a man who achieves things.
While in the signal corps as colonel
he was placed in charge of aeronautics
and with but limited amount OF
money to expend he started out to
develop this service for the United
States Army.
His idea Was to specialize in the
various branches OF this arm of the
service and to put the members of
his corps through most intensive
training. The result was that when
congress finally awakened to a true
realization OF what aeronautics meant
to an army and increased his appro-
priation, General Squier found him
self in position to expend this ap'
preparation judiciously. The result Is
that the American fiier today ranks
foremost among the fliers OF the
world.
In the manufacture of aeroplanes
the manufacturers of the country en-.
COunleTeu OUStdCleS, lhtlS moS NV
enough business coming TO them to
advance their work. General SQuier
appointed boards of specialists to
overcome the various individual trou'
bIes; he gave contracts to the small
manufacturer in proportion TO his
ability to turn out machines for the
army.
Being the last great nation to adopt
the aeroplanes for war purposes, Cen
eral Squier was confronted in the
present conflict with the realization
that American manufacturers were
not prepared to turn out air machi- es
fast enough. He Immediately per
fected arrangements whereby the ma
chimes for this purpose will be pro-
cured in France. All of the machines
for the training of aviators will be
American made.
He is regarded as a very brilliant
scientist and is credited with several
modern-day inventions in telegraphy
and other means of transmission.
For a number of years prior to his
being detailed in aeronautics he was
attache at the American EN-
bassy in London.
