quick inspection of qualities of eggs,
he has devised form of hydrometer.
The egg takes the place Of the weight

specific gravity and at the same time
the age Of the egg. A little cage has
been arranged to hold the egg and is

RADICAL CHANGES .
ORDERED BY BAKER
REORGANIZATION OF GENERAL
STAFF OF THE ARMY,
Five Divisions Are Formed to Have
Charge of Various Branches Of
the Work.--NeM Methods Will
Fix Responsibility.

Washington.-A general reorganiza-
tion of the general staff Of the army
was announced by the war department
on February 10. The new plan provides
for five main divisions. Each division
will be UNDER an assistant chief Of
staff. The chief Of staff and the war
council are to cooperate IN the general
administrative duties Of the general
staff
The sweeping changes provided for
have been under consideration by Sec
retnry Baker and his chief advisers for
several weeks. The secretary stated
that Il reorganization of the depart
ment was III progress on his first APP
pearance before the senate military
committee after the investigation Of
the. conduct of the war was instituted.
The reorganizHtions Of different d.
visions and bureaus of the general
staff viii continue.
The names Of officers who are to oe-
cupy the positions provided for in the
scheme were not given out. The nam
of Edward r. Stettinius, recently ap-
pointed surveyor general of supplies
comes under the third, or purchase md
supply division.
| The duties of the chief OF staff Will
be taken over soon by Major General
Peyton G. March, ordered home from
France to succeed Major General Bid
die, assistant chief of staff, who has
been acting chef in the absence OF
General Bliss. For the present Gen
eral Bliss Will continue to hold the
title of chief Of staff while representing
the United States in the supreme war
council abroad, and General March
Will be designated acting chief.
The general reorganization of thu
staff is viewed In some quarters as
, result Of the congressional agitation
for war cabinet and munitions di
rector. At the war department 1t i
declared to be a natural Outgrowth o
the rapid development of the war pre-
gram. There We're about forty-six mem
bers of the general staff when wnl
. was declared. This number was in
creased Immediately and now is about
eighty. Most Of the present members
are in France.
