new ARTILLERY
FORCES TO Be
kept IN ARMY
81 Regiments of Army Artil-
lery to go With Regular
Field Regiments.
lBy Associated Press1

WASHINGTON, April 3. - The
American army will retain permanent
ly some Of the artillery organizations
WHICH are an outgrowth Of the war.
Among these, according to the regula-
ton plans which have been approved,
are 155 rifles, the weapons relied up
on largely in the closing days Of the
war for barrage work; eight-inch and
9.2-inch field howitzers; heavy rail-
way guns. including 12-inch, 14-inch
and 16-inch mortars, howitzers and
rifles, trench mortar units and anti
aircraft batteries including motorized
machine gun units for the purpose to
protect troops on the march from at
tack from the air.
In addition to the 81 regiments Of
field artillery provided for in the d.
air regiments Of army artillery to go
erected. Three of these regiments
will be armed with 155 nm rifles, ap-
proximating a six-inch, long range gun
and the other three with the eight
inch and 9.2-inch howitzers for field
ed by gasoline tractors. The sixty
with the twenty infantry divisions will
be armed with rs nm rifles or their
three-inch equivalent, and At inch
rifles and howitzers. Each division
viii have one regiment Of light guns,
horse drawn; one regiment Of light
guns, motorized, and one regiment OF
Ats, motorized. The cavalry division
will have three regiments Of horse ar
tillery, light guns but with the entire
personnel mounted in order to reduce
the load on the gun teams and enable
them to keep up with the cavalry bri-
gades.
Trench Motar Regiment.
Personnel for the heavy batteries,
the eight inch and SO inch guns, will
come from the coast artillery which
will also man four regiments Of rail-
way artillery. The railway guns will
constitute mobile coast defenses but
are to be available for use In the field
OF circumstances require.
One departure from wartime organ
ization is the abandonment Of trench
mortar batteries with the divisions, in
stead. single trench mortar regiment
will be organized as part of the army
artillery to be assigned for duty by
the army commander. The extensive
use Of trench guns in France was due
to stabilized trench warfare condi-
tions. The divisional batteries lost
their usefulness except in special con-
ditions when the allied attack turned
the warfare into an open struggle.
For that reason the trench mortar
units Of all divisions were among the
first sent home.
Another new element is the assign
ment OF the aircraft sectors to the
army artillery. These units, person
mel also to come from the coast artil-
lery. will Include the larger guns for
fire against aircraft and will be pro-
vided with searchlights to spot night
raiders and sound and flash ranging
equipment to locate either air raiders
or concealed guns.

and he had no doubt that the civil
party was to have the upper hand
from now. The fact that the present
premier is a commoner and not a mill

out, and If Americas attitude is not
too military, civilians are going to
rule without a doubt.

Japanese invasion in this country

made the most Of her opportunities
to get foothold in China, especially
when all other nations except America
have set her such an example.

China. This seeming intrusive Of Ja-
pan has been resented by China, and
they were also grieved when America
expressed itself as 1t did last year.
II think that Baron Sakatani is 60
ing to accomplish wonders in China
as financial advisor. He has every
thought for the best interests of the
two countries as friends. His father
in-law Baron Shibusawa, who is also
we'll known in America, is the most
influential business man in Japan. He
too, is very active and very much in
terested in the interests Of the East.
THE Japanese have done great
deal toward taking morphine opium
into China" Mr.. Coleman said. Bar
on Sakatani has taken up this meas
ure and is working against it strenu-
ously. When Japan realizes the evil
of allowing lower class OF traders
to enter China, believe the govern
ment will raise strong hand In re-
straining the practice They have al
ready taken some definite steps"
Mr.. Coleman is graduate of Earl
ham college in the class Of 1895, and Is
very well known In Richmond. =, His

Baron Sakatani, the new Japanese
financial advisor to China, was prais-

Who Entered Army Service
(By Associated Press)

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April 3-The
status of members Of the Society of
Friends who voluntarily entered mill
tary service was discussed at the
yearly meeting OF Orthodox Quakers
Of Philadelphia yesterday. There was
unity of sentiment and 1t was de-
c1ded that the local meetings should
have the right to act with respect to
the military service. 1t was agreed
that "a loving and tender spirit"
should be observed towards such
Friends. but such spirit should not
be construed to mean that there was
any change in the Quaker principle
Of opposing war.

BERLIN, April 3.-German troops
opposite the Coblenz bridgehead be-
gan moving early Thursday toward
Frankfort, where a Spartacan revolt
has been causing disorder.
Munich newspapers were told today
that they were given three choices If
they wish to continue operations-the
adoption of syndicalism. communism
or state ownership. The announce
ment was made by the newly appoint
ed economic ministry official, DR..
Neurath, who was named at the in
stance of the minister of the interior,
to handle the socialization of the
press.
DR.. Neurath has announced he will
make energetic use Of the powers
conferred upon him by the diet and
says the newspapers shall henceforth
belong to the employees, the city or
hte state, and must decide for one
Of the three. The bourgeoise news
papers will be permitted only limited
political freedom and will not have
the right to make political utterances.
They will be allowed to publish only
educational and diverting articles.
The communist parties will have the
right to political freedom OF the
press.
Editors have not ventured to an
swer the announcement Of DR.. Neu-
rath, since the pressure exerted upon
them effectually prevents public ut
terance.
The strike Of the metal workers
involves only the technical staff and
clerks, and not the workers. The
strike is due to a rejection Of the de-
mand for an increase in wages. If it
continues the workmen are likely to
be involved.
