ashlngton.-Fairfax Harrison, gen.
eral chairman Of the special committee
on national defense of the American
Railway association, announced that
complete plan Of cooperation during
the war between the railroads and the
government had been determined upon.
His statement follows:
"The preparations for war Us made
by the government and the railroads
have been worked out along the lines
largely developed by Lieut.. Col. Chaun-
cey b. Baker Of the Quartermaster
corps, who for n number Of years has
made an exhaustive study of military
transportation. He has been In charge
of transportation for the quartermas-
ter general from 1902 until 1906 and
from 1912 to the present time.
"As agreed upon by the railroads
and the military authorities, represent
atives of the American Railway asso-
citation, from the operating, motive
power, traffic and accounting depart
ments of roads designated by the spe-
cial committee on national defense OF
the American Railway association will
be located in the office Of the quarter
master general, at each department
Headquarters, at each mobilization
point, at each concentration point and
at each strategic point at which troops
are to be assembled. Other inspectors
or representatives will be designated
as may be required to facilitate the
cooperation between the transporta-
ton and the military service and as
the needs of the service may indicate.
Must Be Broad.Mlnded.
"The railroads special committee on
national defense has advised the car
rlers that officers for the above service
should be chosen from a class OF men
! who will be broad-minded and tempera-
mentally men Of such character as
would take broad view Of transporta-
ton in movements Of troops and sup
plies. They should wholly divest them
selves Of any disposition to work for or
in favor Of any particular transporta-
ton line, but should apply themselves
solely to the solution Of the transpor-
tatlon problem In the manner most sat
lsfactory to the government, and In
such fashion ms can be most effectively
executed by the railways. They are
assigned. to this duty as transporta-
ton experts and will assist the quar-
termaster with whom they are serving
not only In the transportation Of troops
but In any other matter pertaining to
transportation in which their assist
ance may be requested.

and the whole effect is one Of utmost
refinement.
Among other new models there are
noted several with collars shaped and
put on In the same way rs that shown
In the picture. Often they are filet
lace and sheer embroidery combined
and sometimes Of two laces. They are
usually smaller. The high roll at the
back and the partially closed but cool
looking throat opening Is piece OF
fine management.
Already June weddings are engaging

This calls for men who are trained,
not only as soldiers, but In trades.

Assignments to Be Permanent.
"The assignment of the American
Railway association representatives to
stations at the various points and posts
designated should be of permanent
character, so that the proper officer OF
the Quartermaster corps or Of state
authorities will be able to communi.
cate with such representatives and ar
range In advance all especial details
of mobilization and of movements to
concentration and strategic points.
"Should 1t be impracticable for any
reason for any representatives so cho.
sen to continue In that capacity, their
places should be filed by other appoint,
ments and the quartermaster's office
affected, as well as the office Of the
quartermaster general, should be no
titled.
"It is important that the American
Railway association representative In
each instance be advised of any change
In the office Of the department quar-.
termaster at mobilization or concentra'
ton point in order that such represen.
tatlve shall have the advantage of per.
sonal contact with the new officer

in writing with the American Railway

herein laid down that 1t would be de-

$4,000 In a Division.
The adding together Of 81 commits
stoned officers and 1,343 enlisted men
(peace strength) or a total of 2,0l5
officers and men (war strength) Is q
problem. Men cannot be drilled and
taught the use Of rifles, of keeping
well and caring for their clothing, and
above all, Of obeylng orders and the
necessity therefor, without time. That
is why all military men advocate uni
versal service and the adoption Of a
plan whereby regiments can be mobi-
llzed quickly and supplied with equip
ment and ordnance.
When ready for duty, a regiment
must be able to carry with 1t sufii-
cient tentage, clothing food and muni-
tions to last for specified time. In
the United States army II Is the or
ganlzatlon most generally kept Intact.
Only seldom are portions ordered long
distances, the march order being for
the whole regiment to join either some
brigade or division. 1t Is complete
within itself, and any subdivision OF
an infantry regiment Is lacking In
something, be 1t only the band TINT
cheers the soldier evenings, II detailed
away from regimental headquarters.
In combat, the infantry regiment
is not effective unless supporting
troops cooperate. The division Is
considered the proper fighting force.
If the enemy is organized. 1t con-
slsts of nine infantry regiments, two
regiments Of light field artillery, one
of heavy field artillery, one Of cavalry,
an engineer corps, signal corps, avia-
ton corps and supply train, with
reserve ammunition and equipment.
At war strength a division here would
consist of $4,000 officers and men,
commanded by n major general.

Big TASK TO GET
REGIMENT READY
Springing to Arms Is Not Done
as Quickly as Going
to a Fire.
MAKEUP OF A REGIMENT
Under New Law II Consists Of 2,015
officers and Men-Takes Time to
Drill and Teach Men How to
Care for Themselves.

New York.-The recent mobilization
Of National Guard regiments has
brought homo 10 the public the fact
that even Though troops are trained
as these were by service on the Mexl-
can border-a mobilization order Is
far different from fire alarm. With
the best Of the regiments there was
no springing to arms overnight, the
meE ready to march forward and meet
the enemy.
Few persons, noting that certain
number of regiments had been ordered
out, really knew the number Of men In
q regiment Of infantry of the United
States army and National Guard. In
general way, 1t was understood that
a regiment consists Of about one thou
sand men, commanded by a colonel,
and that an infantry regiment Is COM
posed Of foot soldiers, armed with
rifles.
All nations have their own rules as
10 the number Of men to be massed
as a regiment In the United States
this has varied. Last summer new
law went into effect which resulted
In every regiment consisting Of 81
commissioned officers and 1864 en-
listed men when at war strength.
That law, embodied in the National
Defense Act, Is of interest, as show
ing that lining up groups Of men and
giving rifles and ammunition to them
does not make an efficient regiment
Of Infantry.
What a Regiment is.
That part of the law giving the
composition Of infantry units is Sec
tion Seventeen of the "Act for making
further and more effectual provision
for the national defense, and for other
purposes" 1t reads:
Each regiment Of infantry shall
consist of one colonel, one lieutenant
colonel, three majors, 10 captains, 10
first lleutenants, Is second lieutenants,
one headquarters company, one ma
chine gun company, one supply COM
pany, and u infantry companies or
gnnlzed Into three battalions OF four
companies each.
Each battalion shall consist of one
major, one first lieutenant, mounted
(battalion adjutant), and four compa-
MES. Each infantry company In bat
TALON shall consist of one captain, one
first lieutenant, one second lieutenant,
one first sergeant, one mess sergeant,
one supply sergeant, six sergeants, ii

The best tallor-mades are a little

Sleeves are increasing In length, de-
scending often to the knuckle, conse-
quently getting rather in the way of
the wearer. Some Of the prettiest thin
sleeves Of lace, chiffon and mousselinc
err rather on the side Of being too
short that Is, they come far beyond

ISSUE OF D. C. SUFFRAGE
IN COMMITTEES HANDS
Georgetown Association to Consider
Subject Later-Elects Officers and
Discusses Safety First Problems.

Whether the Georgetown Citizens
cure suffrage for the District is ques-
ton that rests with special COM
mittee named by that body last night
to investigate and report on the ad-
visibility of joining the ranks of those
in Washington who are seeking the
vote. A warm discussion developed
from the introduction of the subject as
an eleventh hour part of the program
at the regular monthly meeting in the
Potomac Savings Bank.
A committee Of five members will
make a report at the next meeting on
the success of suffrage in the Dis
trlct years ago and the advantages to
be gained by representation in Con-
gress and the electoral college at the
present time.
A safety first address. an appeal for
fpod conservation and consideration
of community matters preceded the
annual election of officers.
With one exception the officers in
charge of association affairs today are
those who were in Office during the
past year. Robert B. Tenney, the sin
gle new officer, was chosen second vice
president. Other officers were unani-
mously reelected as follows: B. A
Bowles, president; Albert Stabler, first
urer; George w. Ofutt, jr., secretary
Four recommendations were made by
William F. Peabody, president of the
Safety First Association, to check the
number of accidents in Washington
After a review of the traffic situation,
with emphasis on the new problems
presented by the capitals war rush,
Mr. Peabody suggested as a means of
eliminating the danger of accidents:
First-A stricter enforcement of the
traffic laws.
second-More rigid examination Of
persons who apply for automobile IL
censes.
Third-Regulation of pedestrian traf-
fc, with officers at perilous street cross
fngs to direct the wave of pedestrians
during the rush periods.
Fourth-Continuatio of the safety
first educational campaign
Yesterday, he declared, was the first
day since the safety first campaign was
launched that some one was not hurt
in the streets.
Strict economy in the use of house,
hold commodities was urged by James
T. Dubois of the United States food ad-
ministration. IF the inhabitants of
this country would each save an ounce
OF sugar week 1t would give an army
OF two million men Ave ounces of SUI
gar day for a year and save the coun-
try $35,000,000 annually" he declared
He concluded by urging the George
town Citizens Association to join hands
with other agencies In the District that
are working for the success Of the food
pledge card campaign which began to-
day.

EAST END CITIZENS
SEEK NEW CAR LINE
Civic Association Declares Transit
Facilities Are Inadequate-Dis-
cuss Pawn Shops.

A movement to secure a new street
car line connecting the northeast with
the southeast was started last night at
meeting of the East Washington Cit
izens Association in Donohue's Hall,
314 Pennsylvania avenue southeast.
On the initiative of William NJ. Pot
ter a motion was adopted requesting
the Capital Traction Company to con-
| tinue its present Florida avenue line
from Sth to 18th streets northeast.
thence south on 18th street to Penn
sylvania avenue southeast, merging
with the tracks of the present Penn
sylvania avenue line. The public util-
tiles commission also will be asked to
consider the plan
Mr.. Potter, James NJ. Wood and G. A
Shields decried the fact that for years
there has been no direct means OF troll
ley communication between the two
eastern ends of the city. Mr.. Potter
said the line constructed through sth
by the Capital Traction Company sew
eral years ago had relieved the situa-
tion, but was not far enough east.
A lively discussion followed the ac-
tfon Of the executive committee in
again placing before the association
the Carey bill providing for the re-
establishment of pawn shops. which
was referred to the committee at the
last meeting After nearly an hour
of debate the bill was sent back to a
special committee composed of Charles
NJ Emmons and S. w. Curriden to find
out how the police department felt
toward the plan.
The trolley poles on Bladensburg road
again were declared a menace to the
safety of motorists by various mem
bers and Mr.. Emmons and Mr.. Potter
were selected to work for further i'm
provement Of the situation. This COM
mittee will also investigate conditions
at the intersection of Branch and
Pennsylvania avenues southeast, which
was declared dangerous.
The Commissioners will be reminded
Of the former request Of the associa-
tion for a public comfort station at
Sth street and Pennsylvania avenue
southeast On motion of Mr.. Potter
conditions around the stables of the
street cleaning department., between
18th and 14th, E and G streets south
east, were declared insanitary as a
result OF poor drainage In the alley.
The resolution was ordered sent to the
Commissioners. A motion offered by
