ENTENTE MAY ANNOUNCE
COLLECTIVE WAR aims

PARIS. Jan. 3O.-The Availability of
making a collective declaration o. the
entente's war aims is one Of the sub
jects for discussing at the supreme
interallied war council, which con.
vened at Versailles yesterday, ac-
cording to a report current In jour
nalistic circles today.
At the same time it was pointed
out that. while England, France. and
Italy are represented by their pre-
mier, the United States has only mill
tary representation. Arthur II. Fra
zier, secretary to the American en-
bassy in Paris, is present, but only
10 report the debates, and not to par

ALL DISTINCTION
BETWEEN ARMY
UNITS DROPPED

The war department will drop all
insignia and all regulations which up
to the present time have led to the
consideration of the American army as
being composed of regulars, national
army men and national guard units.
In the future all forces will be desig-
mated so1ely as numerical units of
"the army of the United States"
The new plan, worked out by Secre-
tary of War Baker and the general
staff, will insure greater solidarity in
the administration of the nations
fighting forces.
Up to the present time men of the
regular army have worn the simple
gu. S." on the collars Of their tunics.
Other members have had the letters
IN. G." or IN. A" esuperimposed on
the larger letters gu. S." In the flu
ture, it is said, uniformly all men in
the army will wear the simple letters
gu. S." 1t is said the change will
greatly aid the officers and men abroad
who have felt that members of the old
regular army were often inclined to
distrust the ability Of the army's new
er men.

Fewer Air Raids


We are so thankful that for the last
three months we have had so few of
those awful air raids. I remember so
vividly the awful sensation that
flashed through my childish mind
when, hearing in school at the COM
ing flying machines, at the bare posi-
bility of there being a war in which
those things could be used against us.
The thought made a lasting impress
sion, but I never dreamed that l
should live to realize it in all it's awful
ness. I am thankful chat [ have
been spared the fearful sights a great
many have to witness, as we live six
miles from the city, and it is almost
like country round about US, so that
we have had no bomb dropping really
near to us; but the dread Of them is
awful, and the gun firing is almost
ldeafening when they come over our
way. Our defenses are fine, and each
time we seem to take a bigger toll
that DO hope we have seen the worst
over. / feel often as though | cannot
face another winter like the last. Al
