ORGANIZATION OF
 AMERICAN ARMY UNITS
Continental Unit Has Been Ordered by
 the War Department.

Washington, Aug. "A reorganiza- ton of American army units, under which the division tota1ling. 28, 900 men, found unwieldy for service on Euro pean battlefelds, is abandoned for the continental unit of about 19,O0O men. has been ordered by the war depart ments.
 Under the new plan division will include only. HEo infantry brigades of two regiments each, in place of three prlgades of three regiments each un- der the old system. Many other or gan1zatIon changes are made, includ- ing material increase in the artillery and machine gun strength of each di- vision. The cavalry regiment now in cIuded in each division Is detached, a new trench mortar battery is added and the old army corps plan aban- doned after the Civil war is again put in operation.
 The sixteen divisions of the national guard as now constituted will be TO- aligned in conformity with the new plan after the guardsmen reach their training camps No changes in camp assignments, it is presumed, would be involved. The national army will be organized from the start under this plan. So far as the regulars are con cerned, 1t has been understood that the reorganization already has been carried out for the units now in France.
 The war department order was an nounced in a statement issued by the public information committee tonight

Washington, Aug. Provost Mar shalGeneral Crowder and his assist ants are al work on the final set of res eSulations to be promulgated this selectiVe draft war army They will govern actual mobiliation of the men selected.
 Statements issued today by the war department show that preliminary figures place the total force of na- tional guard taken into the federal service August , at 13093 officers and 419,S34 men, Another statement showed that 1S0, ,766 war volunteers have been recruited for the regular service since April l, leaving only about two thousand vacancies in the regulars at war strength.
 725,ooo Men Now Under Arms.
 These figures mean that approxi- mately 725,000 men are now under arms exclusive of the navy and mar the next few weeks by 6S7, ,000 raised under the selective draft bill. Of the latter number 500,000 will compose the third great element of the war army, the national army, and the re- mainder will go to fill up the regu- lars and the guard and their reserves
 The mobilization regulations will show how the drafted men arc to he assigned. Already the war depart ment has received countless applica- tions from men certain to be called in the first increment of the draft forces for assignment to some particular arm or branch of the service. It is probable that some effort will be made to meet the wishes of the dra ed men in this regard as far as possible when they are mobilized. It can only be done to a limited extent, as the regulars and guard. as shown by to- days statement, are practically filled up now.
 Recruiting for National Guard.
 The war department has taken over recruiting for the national guard as well as the regulars, the entire guard

tro- Germans now have begun in south ern Moldavia a manoeuvre the sue cess of which would be of vast import against the Russo o-Rumanian line bar ring the way to Bessarabia- At Folk shani the enemy has struck a swift blow at the defenders of the line and forced them across the river Tyrlad- esus, thereby threatening the crossing of the lower Danube still remaining in Rumanian possession. A number of guns of various calbres and 1900 prisoners were taken by the invaders.
 To the north, along the Bystritza river in Rumania, two Russian regi- ments turned traitor and fled, com polling the main forces of the Russians here to retire again several miles. Near Kimpolung, in southern Buko wina, the Russians gave battle on the heights of Molitz but were defeated and forced to cede terrain At SeV- eral points farther north the Russians are in touch with enemy and ap- parently are more than holding their own, on several sectors having driven back the Teutonic advanced posts.
 Taking advantage of the retreat of the Russians west of the Zbrocz river where the diSaffection in General Brus- sf1of's army made it virtually a rout, the Austrians and Germans are har- vesting hastily the crops left behind.
 Artillery duelS continue to be the chief factors of warfare in both the Austro- Italian and Macedonian the atres. Severe fighting is taking place in southwestern German East Africa. As yet it has reached no definite re- suit, although the British have gain ed some ground.

 The statement lays stress lu trr fact that the country wants aN tra men it can get who can be spared at

 The national guard statement showa that only the number of men short of the 419,s34 figure shown br checking of the muster rolls bv department commanders and the rejection of any found unfit, will be taken from tra draft forces for the guard service. The recruiting service expects Co al the regular army 10 full war service tomorrow or next day, B1 that there probably will be surplus of ff0.0f0 when the 6sT 900 of the first irrre- ment of the national army i8 asaer1- bled.
 In addition, recruiting throuphout the country will supplment the eE cess, all men who volunteer going tr- to the regulars or the national guard or into the reserve after Full war strength is reached.
 It is regarded as likely that the mobilization regulatiouE soon fo 1a issued will show that the surplus cP drafted men is to be uHed ar rec cruit reservoir and that aIf the men will be put under training aH quickly as possible. A recruit depot win hn be established in France from which regiments at the front wifi be kept filled up.

FAIL TO SETTLE STRIKE
 OF DANBURY MATTERS
Conference Between Manufacturers
 and Employees Was Fruitiess.

Danbury, Conh, Aug. 7.-The con- ference between the striking matters of six shops here and the manufac- turers today ended without H-inging about a solution of the difficulty. Fed eral Mediator Robert M. McWade re- turned to Washington as soon as he was convinced that no agreement be- tween the parties was possible at this time.
 It had been proposed in the con ference, which began yesterday, by the manUfa cturers that certain portions of national rules of the matters union be arbitrated. The men absolutely 1efus- ed to consider this, A deadlock re- suited and the session ended. The strike was started when the men were asked to accept pay on the basis of graded work instead of upon the sell ing cost of hats. Many shops were at first affected but later all but six reached agreements with the em- ployes. These shops are still closed.

Wilson Tackles
 the War Prices
PAYS VISIT TO FEDERAD TRADE
 COMMISSION
TO ASCERTAIN COSTS
If Producers and Manufacturers De- mand Unreasonable Prices the Gov ernn1ent Power to Commander Wiil Be Invoked.
sident

Washington. Aug. 7-President Wilson turned his attention today to the subject of war prices and paid a personal visit to the federal trade commission to urge expedition of in vestigations to ascertain the costs of producing materials required by the government.
 To Announce Definite Policies
 Announcement of a definite policy respecting war purchases and prices will be made soon. War profits will be kept at minimum and if produc- CTS and manufacturers evince any great unwillingness to supply the country's war needs at reasonable prices the governments power to commander materials will be in voked. The administrations hope. is, however, that this will never become necessary.
 Protection of Public.
 The biggest problem now occupy ing officials studying the subject of war prices is protection for the gen. eral public.
 The administra ton intends that ernment in reduced costs for supplies. The American government, if nego- tiations with producers fail to pro- duce desired results, can go into the market and buy for it's associates.
 To Keep Prices Down.
 Heavy government purchases will tend to raise prices to private con sumers and this presents an obstacle that is causing concern. If there is any way to accomplish it, the ad- ministration desires to keep prices generally down without resort to leg islation. Some officials believe this may be done in an indirect way when the new war industries board begins to decide priority of manufacture and shipment of goods.
 The war board will meet again to- morrow and probably will make known a buying policy so far as questions of priority and procedure are concerned.
