that the American army win not be
used Ia the recently formed brgadlng
plan. but that II will be used only
when it comes to full individual
strength.
This was stated semi-oflcially here
this forenoon.
Some officials suggested that such q
change OF policy might have come about
s>over there without knowledge OF II
reaching the War Department yet.
Some thought that American officers
soyer there were dissatisfied with the
brigadIng idea and had forced 9 shift
Others suggested the British were NOT
fully pleased with the plan and decided
the allied strength was sufficient to hold
the Teutons for the time being
The announcement ia view Of the
urgency OF recent British and French
requests for American aid was a sur
prise to sll. The brigading plan was
assented to only as an emergency meas
ure as It involved a sacrifice Of Ameri-
can pride.
Because Of the fact that the brigadlng
process has been under way for some
time with at least a portion Of the
American forces In Europe. officials

OYSTERS ARE RUINEL

Estimated Eighty Per Cent.
of Bay Biyalves May
be Worthless
SMOTHERED ON BEDS
AS RESULT OF STORM

Great damage to the oyster beds down
the Delaware Bay was done by the re-
cent storm and flood.
That eighty per cent. OF the oysters
on the natural beds have been ruined is
the estimate Of some oystermen who
have made careful study Of the stu
alton.
The high tides and cross currents
covered the oysters on the beds with
mud and sand several inches thick,
smothering the oysters and making
them un1t for market
In many instances the oysters are
covered with mud OF such depth that
the dredges have failed to bring up
the hlyalves.
Captain Buckalew. veteran oyster
man at Bowers Beach, says that so
per cent. Of the oysters have been ruin
ed by the effects Of the storm. Il
might as well dredge UP Market street
in Wilmington as over some Of the nat
ural beds Off Bowers Beach he said
at that resort on the Delaware Bay
yesterday.
