OF U. s. TO ISSUE
Only Speedy Passage of Army
Reorganization Bill Will
Prevent Decentralization,
Experts Say.

Washington. July 5.-The question
of permanent military policy prob
ably will be forced before the present
session of congress by Secretary
Bakers order reducing the army to
$4,000 officers and men by Septem-
Der 80. Military experts here believe
only speedy passage of the army re-
organization bill will prevent demon
alization of the military establish
ment.
The recent army bill makes man
datory continuance of the four new
staff corps: chemical warfare, motor
transport, tank and air service-none
of which was provided for in the
natiotal defense act. Officers and
men must be drawn from the line
and from the regular staff personnel
to provide the necessary overhead
for these branches.
"a return to status of 1908" was
the prediction of one officer CON
corning the effect& In that year
companies could muster only IS men
and regiments frequently were I'M
der one major and one captain.

considerable progress is being
made by Omaha doctors and dem

Articles of incorporation have been
filed for the company which will
construct the building 1t will be
known as the Omaha Medical and
.Arts Building company.
Nine floors of the structure have
already been rented to doctors and
dentists and inquiries are being re-
ceived every day for additional
space. so that the promoters may be
compelled to add two additional
stories to meet the demands for
space.
Not only are the doctors and
dentists putting in their applications
for space, but they are also buying
stock to assist in erecting their new
home for their use alone. The dream
Of the originators of the idea was
to have building exclusively for
doctors and dentists, equipped with
everything necessary for doctors
and their patients. 1t is planned to
make Omaha renowned all over the
country as great medical center.

some of the leading surgeons and
SPECIALISTS in the various lines of
the country and people already
come from afar for treatment. With
the new structure and all its ad-
vantages the fame of Omaha will
spread still farther. None but eth
ical doctors will be rented Offices.
