ATLANTIC FLEET NOW
TWICE NORMAL SIZE
Must Be Completely Reorganized
To Meet New Problems

Washington, July 1S.-Reorganiza-
ton of the Atlantic Fleet has been or
dered by Secretary Daniels to meet
new problems resulting from eXpan-
sion Of the force to almost tiwce its
normal size for war service.
Details of the steps are withheld
for military reasons, but the Secre-
tary announced today that the re-
organization plan involved the addi-
ton of another Vice Admiral to the
fleet and that Rear Admiral Albert
W. Grant, nof commanding the sub
marine force, had been named for the
place.
Admiral Mayo, the Secretary said,
will remain in general command. with
the immediate authority under him
divided between Wee Admiral COffmen,
at present second in command, and
Vice Admiral Grant. The former is to
have direct command of division
containing most of the super-dread-
noughts and designated as Force No.
q while Vice Admiral Grant will
command the remainder Of the fett
under the designation of Force NO.
l."
1t is understood that the reOrgani-
zation will not affect the division Of
the fleet now in European waters
under Vive Admiral Sims.
This carries into effect plan
worked out by Admiral Benson and
Admiral Mayo. which has been under
consideration for several months, y
said Secretary Daniels regarding the
reorganizat ton plan. There are now
twice as many battleships incommis-
sion as We ever had before. In fact,
every battleship we have is now in
full commission. The whole purpose
of the new organization is to keep our
battleship fleet in as perfect condition
as pOssible''

CAPTAINS NARROW ESCAPE.
Skipper Barely Saved On Ship Watch
ing Sinking Of American Tanker

An Atlantic Port, July 19.-The ex-
perience of watching a torpedo from
a German U-boat which took part in
sinking the American oil tanker, John
D. Archbold. skim along the length
of his own ship about two feet away
and pass on harmlessly was related
here today by a sea captain who re-
turned on a French ship with his
crew from delivering a steamer built
on the Great Lakes to her French
purchasers.
The captain said he was watching
the sinking OF the Archbold, which
occurred June 16, when suddenly a
submarine periscope was sighted off
his own bow and he swerved his ship
sharply. That this saved her was
demonstrated by the course Of the
torpedo, which he said, was plainly
visible as it passed by. BY this time
he had brought his stern gun to bear
on the attacker and the gunners
opened fire, sending four shells at the
U-boat. The last one. he said, made
a great splash which was followed
by cloud Of vapor, and the sub
marine disappeared. He expressed
confidence the German boat was de-
stroyed.

RECRUITING CONTINUES
Twenty More Local Boys Join Army
and OF This Number Fifth Ward
Gives An Even Dozen.

Enlistments from New Britain, and
particularly from the fifth ward, con-
ainue brisk in both the regular army
and national guard. Each day reports
are sent to Mayor Quigley from the
various army and national guard re-
cruiting offices notifying him of the
enlistment Of local boys in order that
their names may be scratched from
the draft lists. Thus far, it is claimed,
the fifth ward leads in the number Of
enlistments and this mornings rec
ord goes far to support the conten-
ton.
OF the twenty New Britain enlist
ments reported today, an even dozen
were from the fifth ward. The first
ward enlistments totalled one. There
were none reported from the second
ward, but in the third ward there was
one. The fourth ward had two and
the fifth ward twelve There were
two from the sixth ward.
Most of these enlstments were
either in the Connecticut National
Guard or the regular army at Fort
Slocum That of William ]. Smith
however, came from the most distant
post. Mr.. Smith. resident Of the
sixth ward enlisted at Columbus Bar
racks, Ohio.
