EACH DIVISION,
IS ARMY ORDER
War Department Reorganizes
Troops on Plan of Allies
to Aid Mobility.
NATIONALGUARDI REFORMED
Cavalry Is Not Provided For In the
New Plans National Army to
Consist of Sixteen Divisions
PershIng Army Reorganized

Washington, Aug. o.-Reorganiza-
ton Of the United States armies to
conform to the British and French
army plans was announced in a gen.
eral order by the war department. A
reduction in infantry and increase in
trench mortar batteries and machine
guns units, are the principal changes.
The strength Of the new division will
be $4,000 men, conforming to Euro
pean trench fighting units, instead Of
$4,000, the present divisional strength.
There will be only two brigades Of
infantry to a division, instead Of three
as at present. This will eliminate one
.brigadier general in each division.
PershIng Army Reoraanized.
The regular army, now in mobiliza-
tion camps, will be reorganized to con-
form to the new plan at once. The
National Guard will be reorganized af
ter its arrival in training camp. The
national army from the first will be Or

1t also was announced that General
Pershing's army in France already has
been organized under the new plan.
When the full military force is sent
to France the organization Of ARMY
corps, consisting Of three divisions
each, and armies, consisting Of three
or more army corps, will be perfected.
This plan contemplates having a ma

A Sion, lieutenant genera n SttufIianu
4 Of each army corps, and general
commanding the army. Congress- must
restore the ranks of lieutenant general
! and general before this plan can be
consummated, and there will be lively
speculation here as to the selections
for the high commands.
| Before the reorganization was con-
templated the war department insd-
gated plans for congress to restore
the rank of lieutenant general, the gen.
eral belief being that promotion OF
General Pershing to that rank would
follow as soon as congress acts.
| Plan Sixteen New Divisions.
The new organization provides for
no cavalry in the division. The diyi-
sion as at present constituted calls for
one regiment of cavalry. The pres
ent division also calls for one aero
SQUADRON, while the new plan calls for
none, the aircraft units being other
wise provided for.
The order specifies 16 divisions OF
the national army to be organized and
numbered from 76 to 81, both inclu
siye, and states the numbers to be
given to each of the different units in
each division. 1t provides that the IL
divisions of the National Guard now
organized shall be reorganized to con
form to the new plan us soon as prac
ticable after their arrival in the train
ing camp.
In the new organization there arr
three regiments of field artillery tt
every four regiments of infantry in
stead of the ratio of three to nine, a
at present. In addition trench NOR
tar battery is attached to each divi
sion. The machine-gun arm is ais
materially enlarged.

commander repudiates the possibility
of the Russians surrendering. He
holds that If Russia concludes a dis
honorable peace, to which traitors
have been driving her, she will become
a German colony forever. The. Ger
mans would seize her foodstuffs, en-
roll her men and treat her as con
quered country. There could be no
choice between the evil Of war and the
evil of surrender.
Must ReorganIze Railways.
The new government must realize
the necessity Of inviting the allies to
help In reorganizing the railway serv-
ice for warfare. If Germany decided,
as all signs indicate, to transfer the
main pressure to the Russian front, 1t
would be hopeless to rely on methods
that availed against the inferior Aus
trian troops.
Russia is full of splendid fighting
men. Ten millions have already been
