CHANGES IN INSIGNIA
New Regulations for the Amerl-

mated Solely as ARMY of
United States"

Washington, July 31.-The war de-
partment will drop all insignia and oil
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 viii be designated solely 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. The only divisions
under tie general definition of the
army will be the expeditionary forces
in France and the expeditionary forces
which may be formed in Italy and the
far East.
General March, as chief of staff, will
be in command of the army OF the
United States. Under military regu-
lations he is chief of staff to the sec.
rotary of war or to the president of
the United States. Under the present
policy of the president he is acting un.
der the secretary of war. The preSi.
dent rs commander in chief OF the
United States army and navy.
General Pershing, as commander OF
the forces in France, is ranked by
General March, but under present in,
terpretations ranks General Bliss,
Americas representative in the council
of Versailles. With the announcement
of the modified regulations it is UNDER
stood that changes will be inaugurated
in the insignia worn by all men in tbs
army of the United States.
Up to the present time men of the

LIMIT SALES OF
NASH TRUCKS
Big Kenosha Company Gives
Notice to Statesmen That
Main Object is to win
the War"
MUST SERVE VITAL BUSINESS
Most Imperative Needs Those Which
Must BE Met in the Allotment of the
Trucks Which Are Not Going Di-
rectly to the Army Units.

The Nash Motors Company has
definitely gone on a Twin the War;
basis and all Of the energies of this
great Kenosha company are to be di-
fected along lines which will be most
helpful to the United States govern
ment and our allies at war. With the
president Of the Mash, company giving
his whole time to the great work Of
building airships for the United States
army, the great plant in Kenosha is
going to give just as much as is needed
of its time and energy to meet war de-
mands and meet war demands first.
Nash distributors and dealers all
over the country have been advised to
sell Mash trucks only to those businesses
which are deemed vital to the success
full carrying on Of the war.
At a meeting of the Nash distribu-
ters at the Mash factory this sales
policy which is to be effective during
the war, was laid down by G. B. Voor-
his, general sales manager of The Nash
Motors Company He pointed out that
the demands Of war upon the facilities
Of the giant Nash factory permit but
q relatively small proportion Of the
Nash truck output to go to CONNER
cial buyers, Mr. Voorhis urged upon
Nash distributors and dealers the
necessity Of being certain that not one
Nash@truck be allowed to go where it
was not absolutely giving capacity
service to the nation in this emergency.
Investigate the requirements Of
your truck prospect just as carefully
as he investigates the value Of your
truck said Mr.. yoorhis. tsThen al
lot your available trucks to those bust
nesses which need motor truck trans
portation most imperatively.
We here at the factory are strain
ing every resource to give you for your
territory all the trucks for CONNER
cial use we possibly can, but it is evil
dent that we, like all other truck
manufacturers, will not be able to
supply the demand. Do not allow a
single Nash truck to be wasted in this
critical period. II
Mr.. Voorhis urged this same sales
policy for the sale Of Nash passenger
cars. He referred to Nash trucks as
furnishing essential transportation to
commodities, and to Nash passenger
cars as furnishing just as essential
transportation to men.

Possibly the Turk is deserving the
sinking ship just like the rats always
do He should not be encouraged to
any great extent by the allies. One Of
the real ends of this war must be the
proper subjugation Of the Turk in
Europe. His repentance at this late
period should not be accepted as wip-
ing out all the wrongs that he has
p1acticed on Christian peoples. The
Turk must be eliminated as ~perse-
cutor in the future even though the
war goes another year to do it. Let's
make it a clean job.

duced Mr.. Murphy, who said:
Kenosha has harbor Of its own,
but q stranger at half a glance could
see that i is used very little. Our
line started week or SO ago to estab-
lish Milwaukee line. It is our plan
at present to establish an all water
line to the Atlantic coast. We made
arrangements at Milwaukee to connect
with Buffalo, n. r., and thence by the
Erie canal to New York harbor. The
Erie canal is now steam canal. We
can make shipment by water from
kenosha to New York in eight days.
we coul tput this into operation at
Present be-. the government wants
all the boats. We are now working
on rates for through transportation to
New York City by using the Michigan
Central, but we have not heard from
that road yet on the question Of pro
rating the freight rate. Our line
will do all it can to further the
interest of Kenosha.
We have re-established the line to
Milwaukee and will eliminate all waste
in time and transfer to the railroads
there the same day freight is de-
livered to US here Whether orr line
should exist or not, Kenosha should
have more than one outlet.
Freight is rushed out Of this city
for Chicago and gets to Chicago the
same day. Then it lies there a week,
and often two weeks before it is sent
out Of that city. Sometimes it is a
month before it is dispatched from
there. They pay no attention to any
thing but what is coming to Chicago.
We are now waiting for the Miehi-
gan General to give us a rating before
putting the through transportation
to New York into effect and we are
willing to split orr end Of it to give
Kenosha service.
Secretary Francis followed Mr. Muir
ply and related how he had seen
freight loaded here at nine O'Clock in
the morning and he had gone along on
the same boat and saw it unloaded at
Muskegon, Michigan at 1880 o'clock
the same evening. EIf we can arouse
Kenosha to use more lake service, said
he, five have started something.

Unless you are well organized you are

presssion. A period Of depression has
followed all wars, but if we face it
with a thorough organization it will
not last long.
The speaker then admonished the
chamber to hang on to Secretary Fran

reputation as a chamber of commerce
secretary and if they were not on the
alert some other city would come
along and offer him more money and
carry him away.
