RADICAL CHANGES
In Food and Clothing
Plans for Supply Of
Army

Washington, Feb. differentiation
Of the quartermaster corps under MAJ.
Gen. Goethals has been completed and a
summary made public today shows radi-
cal changes designed to insure the food
and clothing supply of the army, p%arttcu-
larry of the overseas forces. Gen.
Goethals is depending very largely upon
highly specialized civilians to carry out
his program.
One step taken is to meet such a eitu-
alton as the recent railroad congestion,
which found the embarkation service cut
off from its usual food supplies for the
transports. 4. series of e~mbarkation
~storehouses have been established at the
ports Of departure where vast quantities
Of foodstufs are kept constantly IA
stock.
The fuel and forage division, to which
Il; assigned the duty of aiding army o n
tractors in procuring fuel to keep soing
is headed by Daniel +. Wentz, for years
an active coal operator.
Still another new element OF urganlZa-
ton is the Quitting of troops bound
overseas at special camps maintained for
that purpose.
Great quantities Of supplies OF all kinds
for QUILTING purposes are being concen-
tTated ut these camps. The basis OF the
reorganization was a planning staff Great
ed by Gen. Cocktails soon after he took
office and of which Or. +. A. Cleveland,
head of the efficiency commission durinS
the Taft administration; DR.. II. +. Hop
kins, president OF Dartmouth College ana
a specialist on labor matters, and Or. a.
A. lIanerschlag. director of industrial re
search for the Carnegie Institute, are
members. This organization worked out
the plan General Gcethals is following.
Robert J. Thorne OF Chicago, formerly
head of a big mail order house, has been
appointed general merchandise manager
of the corps.
The supplies and equipment division
under Albert J.. Scott, purchases all
clothing, shoes. rubber and other articles
for the personal equipment of the sol
diers.
Col. j. $. Fair is in charge OF the re-
mount division.

SHOW SURPRISE
At Reports of German
Air Control Over the
American Sector

Washington, Feb. 21.-Army officials
showed every evidence Of surprise to-
day at press dispatches from France
telling of German control Of the air
over the sector of the front held by the
American forces. They would make no
comment for publication, however, and
Secretary Baker was also silent beyond
sayin that his advices from Gen. Per-
shing made no mention OF such a sit
uation.
Disclosure of the conditions described
by the dispatches on the heels
of Secretary Bakers announcement
Yesterday that American-built battle
planes had been shipped to France
five months ahead of the original
schedule and soou would be ready in
quantities.
II was obvious around the var de-
partment that there are other elements
in the airplane supply situation that it
is regarded as unwise to reveal.
In the first place. Gen. Pershing was
fully advised as TO all matters regard
ing the American-air service and the
degree to which he could rely upon it
when he decided to put the forces into
the line.
A.lso-and great stress was laid on
this-he has beer working in complete
cooperation with the French govern
ment IN getting his men to the front.
SO far as known. the particular sec
lion Of the line held by the Americans
was fully patrollcd hy allied airmen,
presumably French before it vas TAX
en- over If Gen. PerShing regards the
situation IN he air as in any way Il
menace 10 his troops, il was suggest
cd, it seemed certain he would cali
on the French for patrols.
Ii is possible of course that "a local
concentration OF air forces has been
made by the Germans against the
American sector.
