Washington, March 25.-Prcsident
Wilson took steps today to place the
nation on war footing.
BY executive order he directed that
the navy be recruited without delay
to full authorized war strength of ST.
900 enlisted men. Taken in connec-
ton with emergency naval construc-
tion already ordered, this means that
the President has exercised the full
limit Of his legal powers as commando
er in chief to prepare the navy for
war.
For tho army, the President directed
that two new military departments be
created in Atlantic coast region. The
order means that the task of organiZ-
ing whatever army Congress may au-
thoriZe will be divided among six de-
partmental commanders instead Of
four, In the interests OF speed and
efficiency in mobilization.
The third step was to assume as a
national duty the task of protecting
American industries from domestic
disorders In the event Of hostilities
For this purpose eleven full infantry
regiments, two separate batallions and
one separate company Of national
guards were called back into the fed
eral service 20 act as national police
in important districts. Supplement-
ing these. troops regiment Of Penn
sylvania guard and two companies Of
Georgia infantry, en- route home from
the border for muster out, were or
dered retained in the federal service.
The presidents orders were made
known In terse official statements is-
sued by both departments. No explain
alton accompanied them except the
statement that reorganization OF the
military departments, effective May /,
was designed to facilitate decentraliza-
tion OF command.
Following Is the executive order
bringing the navy up to war strength
"By virtue OF authority vested in
