New Army Rule

Through recent order issued by
General Peyton c. March, Chief Of
Staff of the United States Army, the
Regular Army, Reserve Corps, Ma
tional Guard and National Army all
lose their identity as such and are
merged into the United States Army.
The United States Army includes all
the land forces in the service of oar
government regardless of how raised,
all will wear the same insignia.
The new order YIELDS all the COM
ponent fighting forces of the nation
into what will eventually be the larg-
est and without doubt the most eff
cient army in the world. The same
rule applies to officers who have been
commissioned in the Reserve Corps
and in the National Army hereafter
all will be regarded as holding COM
missions in the United States Army
General March's order will wipe
out all distinctions which heretofore
have existed and it already has met
with the hearty commentator of all
men in the service as we'll as receiv-
ing the stamp of approval of the gen
eral public. This country has but
one army, with but one aim and OBJ
ject, and distinctive appellations such
as National Army, Regular Army etc.,
are not conducive of the proper unity.
AS regards the new draft act, no
definite action has been taken as yets
The general belief, however, is that
Congress will take speedy action on
the measure as soon as it is brought
up. The age limits agreed upon in
the preliminary draft of the bill,
namely from 18 to As years, will
doubtless be accepted by Congress
without change. 8@

SHOULD NOT COMPLAIN
ABOUT TRAIN SERVICE
War Conditions Have Changed
Things. Coaches Being Used
for Soldiers

w. G. McAdoo, director general OF
railroads, makes the following state
ment to the public relative to the
crowded condition of the passenger
trains at this time and asks the
travelling public to be as lenient as
possible in their criticism of the rail-
roads and not to travel more than
necessary:
Complaints have reached me from
time to time of overcrowded trains
and unsatisfactory conditions pre-
vailing in some sections of the coun-
try In passenger train service. feel
certain that there are grounds for
some of these complaints, but am
sure the public will be interested to
know that the reasons are twofold:

K. c. AND Y. M. c. A.
MEN WORK in UNITY
Chas. S. Burke Visits Morris, and
Tells of His Work With the
K. C. in Camps

Chas. S. Burke, formerly a land
man here, is now in charge of K. C.
work among the soldiers in the camps
and cantonments of Iowa, Nebraska
and Kansas, and spoke most interest
ingly of this work while he and Mrs.
Burke were visiting with old friends
here yesterday.
Mr.. Burke makes his headquart-
ers at Omaha, but his work takes
him into all the neighboring states,
where he superintends the erection
of K. c. buildings, and has charge Of
the men employed to look after the
welfare of the soldiers.
Mr.. Burke spoke most enthusiastic
cally of the cooperation which ex-
lists between the Y. M. C. A., the X.
c., the Lutheran Brotherhood and
the other organizations that are do
ing work among the soldiers. He
says that not one penny Of the money
given to these organizations is being
wasted in duplication of effort. In
one camp under his supervision, the
K. c. is taking care of the indoor
athletics while the Y. M. G. A.
takes care of the outdoor athle-
tics. In another camp, enter
tainments are arranged so as not to
conflict with one another, and in
the larger camps there is need for
all of the organizations working to-
gether and more too. The relations
between the different organizations
are so cordial that it has a good
effect on the men.
The K G. makes no attempt to
send men to the smaller posts and
camps where the Y. M. C. A. is al
ready doing the necessary work, but
confines itself to the work in the
large camps and overseas.
Asked concerning the proposed uni
fication Of all these activities, Mr..
Burke said there was no need of uni
fcation because of the unity that
now exists. He suggested, however,
that he thought the drives for funds
for the various organizations could
be combined, and the funds secured
divided pro rata, and thus do away
with asking the people for money too
often.
Mr.. and Mrs. Burke drove here by
auto, and left again for Omaha yes
terday.

AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY
AFFECTED BY THE WAR
Manufacture of Pleasure Cars May
Be Discontinued by January
First, Next

The automobile industry has been
hard hit by the war and at present
all automobile factories are making
SO per cent war material and SO
automobiles. According to new or
ders issued by the war industries
board all pleasure cars may be dis
continued and the factories may de-
vote their entire time to making war
material
The manufacturers of passenger
automobiles have been advised by the
war industries board that they must
convert their plants to 100 per cent
war work as rapidly as possible and
to place them on that basis not later
January 1, 1919. The board de-
clared the present situation regard
ing steel and other materials needed
for war work gave little assurance
Of material required for the manu-
facture Of passenger automobiles. .
The letter of the board addressed
to the National Automobile Chamber
of Commerce follows:
Gentlemen: We are in receipt of
dAu AdFO 61FCA NO1 Col Olu4 OOAO1OCl-
alton to your communication Of
August embodying the resolutions
passed ct your meeting at Detroit
Tuesday, August g. We note that
the manufacturers have voluntarily
agreed among themselves to curtail
the production of passenger cars SO
per cent. While this is clearly a step
in the right direction and furnishes
basis for each and all of the manu-
facturers, without further delay, to
make appropriate reductions in sell
ing, general and overhead expenses,
still it is only a step, and further
curtailment is inevitable. Fairness
to your industry impels us to state
frankly that the situation as it is
presented to us today indicates very
clearly that there will be little, if
any, of the principal materials re-
quired in the construction of pas
senger cars available for nonwar in
dustries after the war requirements
shall have been provided for, and the
War Industries Board can not at this
time make any promise whatsoever
regarding the supply to your indus
try Of steel, rubber, or other mater
ials for any definite period in ad
vance. We strongly believe that it
is to the best interest of your mem
bers and all other manufacturers of
passenger automobiles to undertake
to get on 100 per cent war work as
rapioly as possible and not later than
January /, 1919, for in no other
way can you be sure Of the continu-
ance of your industry and the pre-
servation of your organization.
We regret that we are not in a
position at this time to give you a
more definite reply to your communi-
cation Of the 8th instant, due to the
fact that the data and information
which on July 16 we requested you
to promptly furnish us has yet been
received AS soon as received prompt
and appropriate action will be taken,
Of which you will be Immediately adj
vised.
No material will be furnished to
any passenger automobile manufac-
turer until 1t has filed with this
board sworn statement embodying
the information requested on July 16,
coupled with an agreement to furn-
ish this board with such additional
information from time to time as 1t
may require.
Yours, very truly,
War Industries Board.

Morris is Battalion Headquarters for
Companies at Crookston, st.
Cloud and Redwood Falls
COMP ANY PAYROLL $1,000
Armory Informally Asked for and
Committee Will Ask City
for Bond Issue

Last Friday Colonel Lewis, of the
5th Minnesota Infantry, notified
Capt. P. L. Spooner of the Morris
company that he had been made
major of the battalion composed of
the companies at Morris, Crookston,
st. Clead and Redwood Falls, and
asking him to designate a new cap
tain for Co. X, the Morris company.
He appropriately designated Lieut..
N. Vinje as captain, and Captain
Vinje it now is.
The promotion which has come to
both of these men is especially we'll
merited, because both of them have
put forth unstinted effort in perfect
ing themselves and in working to
make the Morris company one of the
very best in the state. The promo
tions came as complete surprise to
the men who were so honored, but
were not surprising to those who
had watched their work from the
outside and could see that certain
promotion was in store for them
sooner or later.
The new militia company will
bring to Morris pay roll of about
$1,000 month, and offers fine ad-
vantages to any young man. Enough
men have been signed up to insure
the success of the company, but still
more men are needed to make the
company still stronger and there will
also be a certain loss of men from
time to time on account of changes
in the draft ages, etc. For that rea-
son the company will maintain a re-
cruiting station in the room in the
Spooner Brick Block next to the
Vinje clothing store. The company
members we're measured for their
new uniforms last night.
Members of the company will re-
ceive one-fourth of regular army
pay, according to their rank. All
equipment will be provided, and the
private soldier will receive $3.50 a.
month. AS there are four drills a
month, this will mean $1.75 per
drill The training will be invalu-
able for any young man, and in these
days when military affairs are ac-
tive, promotion is sure to come rap
idly for those who apply themselves
and exhibit aptitude for this work.
The company will also have the
honor of bringing to the city of Nor
ris magnificent armory which will
mean a great deal not only to the
company but to the community as
well. This week Captain Vinje filed
with the Board of Armory Supervis-
ors an informal application that Nor
ris be designated as the next city to
which state aid should be extended
in building an armory. The armory
committee also met and went over
the situation, and decided for such
a permanent improvement as an ar
mory, the city of Morris should
match the $4,000 from the state
with another $4,000 if necessary
to secure an entirely satisfactory
building, instead of paying only the
required $1,000. 1t is likely, there
fore, that when it comes to voting
bonds, the committee will ask the
city to vote bonds in some sum ex-
I ceeding $1,000 but not exceeding
