would command the Forty second Ma
tiona1 Guard brigade. Some of the
officers promoted to be major generals
are already in France with General
Pershing.
The Presidents appointments OF
general officers were made without
delay on lids part. His action is an
other evidence that in nearly every
aspect Of the war hei is following the
recommendation of the general staff
and of the army war college. A spe.
cia1 board has been at work for sever
al weeks selecting officers to be pro
NOTED. 1t was not until late Monday

He was assured that the selection
har been made with a view solely t.
military efficiency. By 2 o'clocks yes

died at his home here today He was
the inventor of a typewriter that bears
his name and that was one of the ac-

producing equipment.
AS a boy he built flying machine
and spent years trying to solve the
secret of flying. After placing his

it to the Chinese language and his
success in this respect attracted the
attention of the Japanese government,
(which revised its written language to
adapt it to a machine keyboard

WILSON NAMES
1874. GENERALS TO
REGULAR ARMY
'Ail the IS Brigadiers Are, Rails
ed to Rank of Major
General.

Washington, Aug. Is - President
Wilson yesterday sent to the Senate
the names of 1s4 officers whom he
has appointed as general officers in
the national army. Thirty-seven of
them are to be major-generals and
the remaining lat will be brigadier-
generals.
The appointments are not perma-
nenA, although befoee the war lis
over some of them, through promo
ton to fill vacancies in the general
officers list, will be made permanent
The appointments are for a period of
the war.
White all are commissioned as
major-generals or brigadier-generals
in the national army. so as to give
them uniform commissions for the
purposes of the war under the terms
of the selective service law, they will
be subject to detail with any of the
divisions or brigades into which the
armies are formed for the war. They
may be assigned either to the regular
| army, to the national guard army, or
to the national army.
| The hist shows that IS brigadier-
generals of the regular army are. pro-
NOTED to be major-generals of the
national army. This advances all the
| brigadiers of the regular army.
Two National Guard officers are
appointed major-genera1s in the ma
| tionaI army. They are Major-Gen.
John F. Organ of New York, and
Major-Gen Charles M. Clement OF
| Pennsylvania. While commissioned
as national army majors generals
they will be assigned, at least during

armies of the United States a total Of

AS all the brigadier- generals of thu

WORKERS REAP
THEIR HARVEST
West End Children Raise
Excellent Crops of Early
Bantam Corn.

Children with their arms filed with
beets. carrots or corn or carrying
bags and baskets of beans are not
returning from foraging trips but
from the school gardens. The har-
vesting is going. nnerrily on from each
of the 81 gardens and the produce is
lowering the cost of living for 400
families. Indirectly it affects every
family in the city as it leaves an
equal amount of vegetables in the
market for other families. Some of
the finest beets seen IN the city this
summer were harvested from the
Staples garden in Huntington road
yesterday, while in Hancock avenue
the. Longfellow school children is
ready to share in their first crop of
luscious sweet corn, Early Bantam, of
which they have several hundred ears.
The fact that Bridgeport is not in
the rain zone this summer has affect
ed the gardens to some extent. None
of them have artificial water supply
and the ground is almost equal to an
ash heap from the lack of moisture.
This is adding to the work Of the
youngsters to supply the necessary
moisture. About the only way it car
