AID SOLDIERS
Is new PLAN
Service Bureau May be Or
gained Here this Week
Assist Men at Front.

Attorney J.. B. Wineman Of this city
has started a movement for the or
ganization Of la Soldiers Service
Bureau for Grand Forks and will call
a meeting this week when plans will
be perfected.
1t is planned by Attorney Wineman
to band together at least twenty-five
prominent men of the city who will
offer their services to the soldiers
from Grand Forks and vicinity who
are in training camps or at the front
and who desire aid along any line
from their home community.
The idea has been successfully
worked out in other cities. Mr.. Wine
MAJ asserts. and 1t is believed that ar
organization Of this kind would prove
a big aid tosthe men at the front.
While at the border last year the SOL
diers who desired to lave business or
private matters attended to were
forced to seek aid from. some friend
or an attorney. and the results were
often times unsatisfactory. Under the
new plan. all work will be done gratis
and any service that may be given the
soldiers will be willingly taken up.
No date has been set fol-. the meet
ing when the organization will be per-
fected but 1t is probable that II Will
be the latter part of this week.

Sensation in London.
The revelation Of a Swedish diplo-
mat in Argentina acting as an inter-
mediary for transferring German
messages to Berlin has created n OF
the greatest International sensations
of the war. The development itself Is
not, however a great surprise, the
| chief surprise being that the Ameri-

mote of last winter regarding German
lovertures to Mexico and Japan.
Sweden Officially ro-German.
The Swedish government, with the
monarchy. the aristorcracy and the
army officers, has been rated strongly
pre-German throughout the war, and
Queen Victoria in several public ut
terances has proclaimed her German
sentiments as strongly as any German
could. The Swedish people on the
other hand are reported as leaning
strongly against Germany in the more
recent stages Of the war, particularly
since the Unrestricted submarine cam-
paign.

SHIPPING BOARD
Second Reorganization Is Likely, With
Admiral Caps Stepping
0ut

Washington, Oct 27.-The American
shipbuilding organization is likely soor
to undergo second reorganization.
Rear Admiral Caps, head of the
Emergency Fleet corporation and sue
cessor to General Goethals, will steE
down or be forced out unless present
indications fail.
Capps is in i'll health, due to devo-
ton to duty that kept him at his desk
Is or more hours day constantly. Be
sides this, there are manifestations that
Chairman Hurley of the United States
shipping board and he are not in full
harmony.
Officials admit that there is such a
shortage of vessels and such delay in
construction as really to hamper war
work. There is no dispute over types of
ships as in the Denman- Cocktails row,
but there is far less construction than
American and allied needs require.
Caps i'll health probably will serve
as the vehicle for his elimination sooner
err later, while amendment OF the ship
ping law also is quite probable, so that
there viii not be two boards, as at pres
ent. One board constructs ships; the
other operates them. But where the
first hesitates the other is poweress.
That appears to be the difficulty to-day.
Hurley is in favor of CONSUMPTION of
labor as one means of speeding construc-
ton. Three hundred thousand to 100000
are needed. but until some
strong hand takes action shipbuilding is
destined to be slow for want OF 'labor.

ondary occupation. AT that time the in
| fantry electives on the western front
numbered l,l00 battalions in 96h divi
sions, each division consisting of four
regiments. On the eastern front, the
Germans then had 800 battalions COM
prising 26ts divisions.
When the battle of the User was
fought in November, 1914, the Germans
intensified their effort in the west and
brought up their electives to higher
figure and at the same time increased the
number of battalions on their eastern
front SO that they then had 1898 bat
talions on the western front and 800
on the eastern front
Then came the Russian offensive in
Galicia and to check the Russian advance
toward the German frontier, Germany
was compelled to throw more troops on
her eastern front, increasing the number
of battalions there in September, 1915, to
$50. To do this it was necessary TO re.
duce the number of German battalions
on the western front from 1898 TO 1920
Many divisions were transferred from
the eastern to the western front when
the Germans gathered their forces for
the beginning of the great battle of Yer
dun with the result that in June, 1915,
there were 1915 &c. hlan battalions on
the western front and those on the east,
ern front were reduced from $50 to 574.
The German drive against Rumanis
was made possible by adding more than
800 battalions to their eastern battle
line, bringing the total on the eastern
front to 500 This was done without re-
ducing the number of battalions on the
western front below 1900
When the French and British began
their great offensive operations in July,
1917, the Germans were compelled to
bring fresh forces to the western front,
their battalions there to l456
but reducing the number on their eastern
front only TO $50 Subsequently the Ger |
man battalions along the Russian bat
-leline were increased by the addition |
Of more than 100 battalions, bringing the I
.otal there to 965 on September | of |
his year. These were divided into % di. +
7isions of three regiments each. Dur /
ng this movement the battaions on the
western front were reduced to 1860, di-
'idcd into l47 divisions and that il be.
ieved to have been the number on the
ierman western front on September l.
These figures do not include any German
roops on garrison duty in the interior
i the country nor those maintaining
ines of communications.
