JULY FIRST SIGNIFICANT DATE
(By Associated Press.)

Atlanta, July July first was
significant date for more than one
reason. The first needs no mention.
The other was that on that date first-
class postage rates went back to
two-cent, resulting in the saving OF
millions of dollars to merchants and
others in the southeast. 1t has been
estimated that in one city alone one
one-third reduction will save the
merchants $4,000 monthly.
A movement has been started by
the War Savings organization OF the
district to turn this money into Wal
Savings Stamps. "Put your postage
stamps savings In Savings Stamps" i
the slogan adopted in appealing to th'
reople to invest this money in gov
ernment securities. 1t is pointed ou
that had the "war time" rate beel
continued, monthly postage expens
to business houses would have bee
thirty-three and one-third per cen
more than it is under the revise
rate. Business men are therefor
being asked to set aside the sum the
are saving by the former rates, fo
investment in War Savings Stamp
and make this money bring them
return from the government.
Silas w. Davis, directo" of Saving
| for the District, believes the plan wi
result in a material increase in tn
sale of War Savings and Thri
Stamps.

PERMANENT MILITARY pol
ICY POINT MAY BE FORCED
BEFORE CONGRESS BY RE-
pUcTIoN ORDER

Washington, July 5.-The question
of a permanent military policy prob
ably will be forced before the present
session of congress by Secretary Bak-
er's order reducing the army to $4,000
officers and men by September 30.
Military experts here believe only
speedy passage of the army reorganiz-
alton bill will prevent decentralization
of the military establishment.
The recent army bill makes man,
datory the continuance of the four
new staff corps; chemical warfare
motor transportation, tank and air
service-none of which was provided
, for in the national defense act. Of
6cers and men must be drawn from
the line and from the regular stat
personnel to provide the necessar,
overhead for these branches.

Bill Pierre, for he demonstrated again
that he can win ball games by using
his head. What he carries around on
his shoulders is not a pimple but a
full sized head and when 1t comes to
baseball brains he has got them.
This is no kidding boys, and no doubt
you have noticed it,.
Lakeland fans are proud of their
team and if they continue to show
such pep they will no doubt draw the
crowd out in good style. The only
weakness they have shown so~far is
at bat but don't you fear, it will not
be long when they will hit their real
stride at bat and | am afraid when
they do that they will knock the COW
or off all those absolutely good balls
Well at any rate we are seeing
some real ball games and every time
you pay your admission you can rest
assured that you will get more than
your moneys worth.

the regiments were frequently under
the charge of one major and one cap
tain.
The general staff is already at work
on some program, which will come
within authorized expenditures and yet
permit the retention of skeleton es-
tablishment which may be expanded
for war.
Plans for the organization of the air
service and tank corps looking to fur
ther progress will have to go by the
board, 1t was conceded. Services will
be kept active through a headquarters
organization with repairmen and
guards at the various depots.
Primary troop requirements which
must be met include:
Garrisons for the Philippines, Hawaii
and the Panama calan conservatively
figured at $4,000 men; a guard for the
southern border, now maintained at
80, 900, force of 5000 on the Rhine,
and for the time being at least, 5000
men for Siberia.
These total $4,000 officers and men
and do not take into cosideration the
: hundreds of small garrisons needed
at home army posts, which is estimated
. at 10000 with a further addition for
| the coast defenses. War department
plans approved as late as March, pro
