OUTLINE NEW AIR
SERVICE PLANS IN
AMERICAN ARMY

Washington, D. c.. April 3.-Army
reorganization plans it was learn
ed today provide for an air service
with approximately LOO airplanes
in actual commission and a min
imum available reserve of 3,4OO ad-
ditional planes. This is based upon
the proposed military establish
ment of 500, 900 men in which total
the air service personnel will be l.
923 officers and 21,853 men,
The organization tables show that
the air forces on a peace basis VIII
be comprised of eighty-seven SER
vice squadrons, of which forty-two
will be assigned to coast defense
work in the United States and in
sular possession, twenty will be
pursuit squadrons, and twenty-five
observation and bombing squad
rons. The typical army airplane
squadron includes eighteen planes
in service and their personnel
The tables also call for the main
tenance of forty-two balloon COM
panies divided into three wings of
fourteen companies each.
The general plan of the army re-
organization calls for twenty-one
divisions, including one cavalry unit
of nine regiments, to be formed into
five army corps, each to be COM
manded by a Acknowledgement.
Many government planes purchas-
ed by the manufacturers, it is I'M
derstOOd, are to be converted into
seaplanes. This would permit their
use for pleasure.

The police occasionally appear on
the scene, whereupon the gamblers
disappear, only to reappear quickly
after the officers have gone. The
scene is enlivened frequently by
bettors who, after losing, snatfk
money from the table and das#
through the crowd followed by the
walls of the cheated gamester.
The police last night raided
well known hotel OF the first class
and discovered a club, but they
were unable to disturb It because
every player had a membership

who made large amounts Of money
on war contracts. Bets on roulette
run as high as 5000 marks.
The clubs, both old and new, are
striving to out-do each other in
schemes to attract a constantly new
clientele. One means Is to serve
better meals than can be obtained
in the restaurants without cards
Many beautiful homes have been

At BrOtman's RiaItO.

There are many delights for Mae
Marsh in Money Mad" showing to-
day at Brotman's Rialto. Not only
is the slim star enthusiastic over
her role, but she likes the story of
the drama and she loves the won
derful dresses she wears in it, in
Guiding her gorgeous oriental cos
tune. Mae Marsh is keenly inter
ested in all forms of fortune telling.
This gives her good reason for
being happy because in one episode
of the production she dons strange
attire and pretends to be seeress
in order that she may get at the
secret of the man responsible for
all her trouble. When she was n
child a fortune teller told her that
she would be famous some day, but
would never be able to speak to the
persons responsible for her good
fortune. This troubled her at the
time and it did not occur to her
until years later when she became a
screen star that the fortune teller
spoke the truth. Now she knows
what was meant Her work is done
in silence. She never sees her aud
fences, therefore the sensitive star
can never Athank them for making
her famous.
