Washington With men, materia.

Pershing in full accordance with the
prearranged schedule. the War De.
partment has taken up the organiZa'
ton OF the first field army, the largest
tactical unit used in modern warfare
Until Gen. Pershing has under his
command a complete field army. no
further organization OF fighting units
will be started.
1t was originally the intention OF the
department to form the typical
field army by combining three army
corps. but 1t is understood this plan
has been abandoned for one which
calls for five or six. The purpose Of
this is to reduce the number OF mer
required for organizing the army
troops-the special units attached spe
officially to the field army for use Ii
controlling the lines OF communications
from the ports OF debarkation to the
army corps rail heads.
The army troops include also thu
great artillery reserve Of s. 10 and IL
inch guns, both OF fixed emplacemen
and mobile type. the anu-aircraft gum
and the other units which the com
mander.i n-chief Ia given to throw
against any enemy offensive.
Under the six corps field army plar
auxiliary troops numbering more thai

corps having about 10000 and thu
field army 10000. The same numbe
OF fighting men under the three corp,

nounces.
This fact was passed on by Perish
ing and action by the department was
taken at once.
France objected to the form of the
casualty announcements heretofore
made, March explained, on the ground
that 1t furnished information to the
enemy. The French said the system
OF mentioning the date of action and
the cause OF death-such as "gassed'
gives the Germans just what they
wanted to know-the result Of an at
tack and basis for knowing what 10
do next time. The American plan OF
mentioning the date OF action connect
ed the whole thing up for the Ger
mans. Some doubt was left as to
whether the French actually request.
ed elimination OF home addresses.
March appealed to the press to back
up Pershing in the matter on the
ground OF patriotism. And he pointed
out that France does not publish any
lists, merely having the mayor OF
city or town inform the relatives OF
the deceased.
Committee on public information
members still insisted that the lists
now given out would be identified to
q greater or lesser extent in the mems
home towns, and that local papers
would print facts which would give
the enemy as much or more informa.

he could not get consideration OF the
resolution.
