Washington. Aug. S.-Decision of the

division of 2SOOO men for the CONT.
mental unit of about 10000 troops was
due, it was said today, to changes in

the old system, was not sufficiently
mobile for the peculiar needs Of the
western front

instead Of three brigades of three regi.
ments each as formerly. The artillery
and machine gun strength is materially
increased. the cavalry regiment is elm.
mated, new trench mortar battery is
added and the old army corps plan.
