EARLY REORGANIZATION
OF STAFF IS PREDICTED
Present Army System Declared Not
Well Adapted to Modern War
fare on Huge Scale.

Easly reorganization Of the existing
staff system of the Army is predicted.
Experience Of more than a year has
demonstrated, 1t is declared. that the
system 10 not we'll adapted to modern
warfare on a large scale.
According to some officers. serious
mistake was made when the Quarter
master Corps. the subsistence depart
ment and the Pay Corps were consol-
idate in 1912 into the present cumber-
some Quartermaster Corps. They as
sert that the best interests Of the mil
itary service would be subserved by
the division of the Quartermaster
Corps into three staff departments
dealing respectively with transporta-
tion. supplies and finances. each with
a responsible head.
bility for any single man to have a
bined business of three such large es-
tablishments and administer their af-
fairs to the best advantage.
Under the Overman law the Presi-
dent has authority to make such
changes and reergani1atiehs in the
executive departments al he may deem
expedient. In addition to the possible
reorganization of the Quartermaster
Corps. 1t is intimated that the detail
system, whereby line officers serve
details In the stan departments. may
be abolished as not productive Of the
best results.

JOSEPH DEvLiN DEFENDS
Parliamentary POLICY
Calls Sim Foin Doctrine Too
0rotesqus to Receive Attention
Of Irish People.

DUBLIN, June 1s.-Joseph Devlin.
member Of parliament and deputy
leader Of the Irish nationalist parties.
addressing meeting at the village OF
Virginia, Cavan county. in support OF
the candidacy of O'Hanlon, the nation
aiist candidate for parliament for East
cavan. today said the parliamentary
policy was one of the principal factors
in the upholding Of Irelands interests.
He said the Irish party was not going
to throw away the weapon.
"The Sinn Fein is not Q new doc
trine or a new policy" he said. 1t
has been before the country for twen-
ty years, but the Irish people have
paid no attention to 1t because 1t Is
too grotesQue and during this period
of twenty years 1t has not raised a
laborer's cottage or helped to brighten
or beautify . single woman's home.
The Irish party did not enter this con-
test light-hsartedly and II the contest
could have been avoided, 1t would
have been.
When it was declared by the Sim
Feiners that there Is no room for men
like John Dillon in Irish politics, then
the supporters of the constitutional
movement accepted the challenge.
There are now two policies before the
people in this election. One will re-
suit in assured success and the other
in certain failure. The promise ~ an
Irish republic in fifty years or fifty
centuries Is no compensation to the
men and women living in this day and
generation"

Private Danny
in France
BY FRAZIER HUNT.
CHAPTER 81.

Ever since we been in France have
been going to tell about the new
equipment that us draft soldiers and
others have got over here. And !
guess maybe If the folks back home
could see US when we are all dolled
up they would think we was bunch
of British soldiers, when we are not
by about 5000 miles.
In the first place nobody but army
stevadore or Mule Skinner would
think of wearing anything but the
new spiral leggins over here. The old
canvas leggins that tie UP with a
shoestrong are way out of style and
are not good for nothing. But these
heavy woolen spirals that you wrap
around your legs are fine and warm
and will shed a lot of water.
Then a lot of us have got high hip
rubber boots and along with two pair
of good shoes and a rubber coat l
guess we are not afraid OF anything
that Sunny France has got in the
line of rain. And, by the way, Sunny
France has been a long time making
good and to hear these birds who
have been here all spring talk you
would think that France don't do any
thing else but rain and fight. But
May and June is beautiful months and
everything Is green.
Then we have got our tin derbies
which is part of the equepment over
here and go along with what they
call the Overseas cap. 1t amt hardly
ever that you see an old campaign
hat here now and they are calling
them all in and issuing this little
n yivL nHyA~ 1ro D,,& = 10
tin hat Is the real boy and when any
body is in the battle zone he has to
wear his helmet all the time for fear
Of the bombs and shrapnel, etc, etc.
OF course these hats are not really
tin. but what they are Is iron and
they are made in England and are
just like the British soldiers wear.
They stick out on all sides Of your
head and are thick enough so that
they will turn any little chunks of
shrapnel that happens to be coming
your way, and unless a rife or ma
chine-gun bullet is f1red right square
at your dome the helmet would shed
crown and rubber tubing along the
sides and there Is a heavy strap that
goes under your chin.
We are supposed to wear them
pretty much all the time SO that we
will get used to having them on, but
OF course. most of the fellows would
much rather wear their Overseas cans
The other day Sandy 81 Its como out
In the morning without his tin hat
on and Corporal Jake Wart stopped
him.
Go get your steel helmet" Corporal
Jake said.
=! DON'T need it," Sandy said.
Il know you don't need 1t because
you got so much bone in your dome
that IL bullet would happen to hit
you 1t would glance off anyhow" the
corporal answered back.
Ugh, said Sandy. you don't even
need to wear your gas mask"
What do you mean" Jake asked
with that line OF gas you got you'd
make even Hun mustard gas SNEAK
By-by."

DEBS' UTTERANCES

Quoted as Saying Allies War
Purposes Same as Those
of Central Powers.

Department of Justice agents to-
day started an inquiry into a speech
of Eugene " Debs, former socialist
candidate for President. at Canton.
Ohio. yesterday, to be determined
whether he made disloyal or sedittous
remarks. United States attorneys at
Cleveland and Columbus are in charge
of the investigation.
Debs addressed the closing session
of a three-day convention Of the
socialists of Ohio, at Canton. yester-
day. Emphatically denying that he
had repudiated the party's st. Louis
platform. which pledges opposition to
conscription and liberty bonds, Debs
Is quoted as declaring the socialists

for their principles.

lating the espionage act. He prom
ised that he would not try to estab-
lish his innocence If arrested on a
similar charge, and added:

declared, "that all the junkers are
confined to Germany. They want our

lin so we'll not see those in our own
county,
"You are in q crucible today" Debs
continued "If you permit yourself
to be driven out of the party you are
not OF the stuff of which revolution
lists are made"
Imprisonment of socialists who have
not feared to speak of their views
on the war. Debs pointed out, would
