SWEATBOX IN ACTION
Open Lapel Collar Blouse,
Like Those Of British, Is

CAMP DIX, n. j., April 1.-THE high

returning overseas officers at this camp,
among whom inquiry shows condemna-

Opinion favors the adoption OF the
open lapel collar blouse, similar to that
now worn by the British soldiers and
adopted In this country for army well
rare workers. Tradition may keep the
present sweatband effect In vogue for
Few years, but the very fact that
the men now advocating its elimination
In favor of a more comfortable and

Its ultimate passing.
The adoption OF the lapel blouse was
advocated by many prominent Regular
Army officers at the beginning of the
war, but the sentiment was not sufli-

reform. In this the navy got ahead of
the army. for navy officers indicated
unanimous desire for a more comfortable
style and an open minded Navy De-
partment, sensing the value of the idea,
Endorsed the proposed change.
Every officer and soldier who passed
through the hot days of fighting last
summer in France would have given a
months salary for a blouse that did not
become a sweatbox in every charge"
says a Major of a division that was in
the fighting from Chateau Thierry to

From what have seen in my own
experience and have learned from fellow

WASHINGTON, April 12.--The strength
of the American Army has now fallen
to the 1.9so.5o6 mark. Gen. March. Chief
Of STAFF. announced to-day, quoting flg-
ures for April 8.
"Of these 1,326,525 were in the Amer
lean Expedttionary Forces" he said.
"A total OF 6S6,114 troops have sailed
from France between November IL, 1918,
and April II, 1919. and 605,772 of these
have arrived in the United States. More
than half of our officers have been dis
charged and as per cent. OF all the men.
The figures on the number of officers
discharged are 94,1ss. the number of
men. l,607,2S1, or a total OF 1,701, 46y.
Troops under orders for rehabilitation
total 1.925,000.
There have been some questions put
to me about the progress OF our demo-
Utilization as compared with previous
American demobilizations in the civil
war and the Spanish war. and 1 have
had the figures got together.
I'm the civil war the voluntary army
of the United States reached it's highest
figure on April 80, 1865, on which date
its strength was 1,o34,064 officers and
men. The number OF regulars in the
service on that date has been computed
as 26.9SS officers and men. The mus
ter out of the troops began on MAY /.
1855. following the surrender of the Con-
federate armies and lasted until Novem-
Der /. 1866, on which date the demobili-
cation was practically completed. with
1,023,02 men mustered out A few vol
unteers remained in the service until
December 20. 1867. We have mustered
out. as you see. In three months more
than the entire number mustered out in
the armies in the civil war extending
for period OF over year.
I'm the Spanish war the greatest
strength was reached on August 81,
1898. on which date 1t included 2l6,256
officers and men The armistice was
signed on August IL, 1898. The muster
out began on September 5, 1898, and
lasted until June 20, 1899, on which
date 1882 officers and men were mus
tered out. Some volunteer organizations
were held In the Philippines until No
vember %, 1899. The muster out of
the entire army in the war with Spain
consumed, as you see, more than a year.
We must have mustered out in the first
month of our rehabilitation more than
that entire force"
WAsHINGroN, April 12.-The Amer,-
can army in France on the day the
armistice was signed held s3.4 miles OF
battle front, or Fl per cent. of the entire
line. General March gave the division
of the front that day as follows French.
55 per cent. United States. 81 per cent.
British. IS per cent; Belgians, per
cent.
On October 10. month and a day
before the armisticc, the Americans held
% per cent of the line. The reduction
later probably was due to the concen-
tration for the Argonne drive.
