The advisabii- ity of raising approximately S40O,OOO,- 900 by bond issue for the purchase Of ships was discussed and a tentative decision was reached to modify the second class mail rate and automobile and musical instrument tax sections of the measure.
 Convinced of the inequity of the sec ton naming the rate on second class mail matter now contained in the bill. the committee virtually decided to sub stitute the Moon act, once included in the postoffice bill, which would fix a ' flat rate of one cent a pound on read ing matter and the parcel post zone on advertising matter Under this plan publishers would make their returns to the postoffice department and be charged accordingly. This proposal. as well as the one to lower the automo- bile and musical instrument per cent tax now contained in the bill, will re ceive further consideration as the daily meetings of the committees progress.
 After threshing out its differences the committee returned to the house. sitting as a committee of the whole, and successfully blocked repeated at tempts to amend the retroactive in come, excess profits, beverage and ci- cags and tobacco products sections of the bill.

per regiment must be increased be- cause of the nature of the fighting in Europe.
 General Pershing has been in Washington several days. He was personally summoned by Secretary Baker from the southern department which was under his command until tonight's order was issued.
 The man who led the expedition into Mexico and handled his difficult task with such judgment and skill as to win for him the complete con fidence of the President and his ad- visors has worked hard on the plans of the expedition to France. He has been in daily conference with Secre- tary Baker and with Lieutenant Gen eral Bridges. of the military section of the British mission. and veteran of the battlefields of France
 Careful Selection
 There is every indication that the regular forces which will compose the expeditionary division are being se- lected with greatest care.
 No inkling of the plans for that di- vision have been allowed to leak out
 The number of men in the expedi- tionary force has not been disclosed. A division at war strength totals more than 25.000 men of all arms.
 General Pershing, a Republican in  politics was a brigadier general when he led the forces into Mexico in pur- suit of the bandit Villa. His work at that time won for him selection by his brother general officers as a major general and the choice was heartily endorsed by the war depart ment and President Wilson.
 Regarding Roosevelt
 In his explanation of his reasons for not availing himself of the so- called Roosevelt amendment to the army bill, Mir Wilson has brought out sharply the points made against that amendment by army officers, re- gardless of their personal political leanings, or their regard for MT. Roosevelt Many officers have un- hesitatingly condemned his proposal to raise a volunteer army corps or division on the ground that it would the regular service of men vitally needed to train the millions that must be quickly whipped into fighting trim.
 The list of regular army officers Colonel Roosevelt desired to take with him has been the subject of much speculation and comment. It has been regarded as virtually cer- tain that Major General Leonard Wood was the former presidents se lection for commander.
 Under the plans for the war de- partment General Wood has been as signed the hardest task of any gen eral officer He will direct, as com mander of the southeastern depart ment, the mobilization and training of twelve divisions or more than 3OO.- 900.

day to fill present regiments or other units up to full war strength, making force of approximately 329,954 men and 9,S47 officers. No new National Guard organization will be accepted by the federal government until this is done and reserve battalions for each regiment organized. The result will be virtually to triple the present strength of the guard, but reports to the department show heavy recruiting in all states.
 Camps in she South.
 The department announced also the distribution by military departments of the sixteen divisions of the new se- lective draft army and the sixteen Na- tional Guard divisions for training pur- poses. All of the guard divisional can comments and most of the selective army camps will be in the southern part of the country.
 In all the forces first to be formed will comprise seven divisions of regu- lars, four of which will be available for mobile duty in continental United States, supplemented by sixteen Ma tionsl Guard divisions and later by six teen selectiye army divisions. Behind this force a second call on the selec- tive forces, provided for in the bill, will add sixteen additional divisions.
 Allowances to Be Made.
 AI1nu-arnoc hn xr-hnr the military census of men between the specified ages has been completed, for probably variation from census bureau estimates as to the total number of persons in this classification. It is regarded as unlikely that the registra- ton will show the exact 100000 per sons liable, fixed by the census esti- mate. There will be some delay also in hearing from men absent from their homes who will register by mail. The officials of every state and town, how ever, have been authorized to issue cards to such men in their communities in order to avoid delay.
 An analysis of the war departments statement regarding mobilization of the National Guard shows that equip ment for all the force is not expect ed to be ready until August. By that time, however, the redoubled output of American factories win be able to fur nish clothing, small arms and other equipment for the selective army, to be assembled a month later, as well as for the full strength of the regulars and the guard.
 Gun Divisions Needed.
 All cavalry units of the National Guard will be drafted dismounted. It is regarded as probable that number of these organizations will be offered an opportunity to be converted into field artillery forces, as the gun divi- siJns must be supplemented without delay. The National Guard is far be- low it's proper quota of artillery and even the regular proportion of guns

cations for the waters of Logan river

ton of which would require the TAX
ing of water of Logan river out of the
natural channel on account of the
present and proposed uses of the
same by the public, and that the good
offices of the governor, attorney
general, state engineer, and legisla-
tive representatives of Cache county
be invoked to conserve the waters
within their natural channel for the
public welfare, summer homes, and
recreation purposes of the citizens of
the state"

ney general, state engineer. and leg
