March made known the plans adopted
by the War Department for reorga-
nization of the American army, into
twenty-one divisions with total
strength of a half million of men.
The present divisional organization
will be located at Camp Lewis, in the

al reasons the divisions will retain
the numerical designations of those
participating in the fighting in Eu-

The plan calls for the 91st and 4th
infantry divisions to be permanently
at Camp Kearney. The 91st infantry
will be located at Camp evils, in the
state of Washington.
General March denied that troops
being enlisted for foreign service will
be used against the Bolshevists.

WASHINGTON, March 29. = The
return from Europe, early in April,
of President Samuel Gompers of the
American Federation of Labor, will
mark the opening of an intense cam
paign to elect. to public office in all
parts of the country candidates who
will be pro-labor men.
According to Secretary Frank Nor
rison of the Federation, the campaign
will be non-partisan, and its imme-
date purpose is carrying through
Congress a labor reconstruction pro-
gram. Mr.. Morrison emphasized the
point that the plan does not involve
organization of a labor party, but it
does involve application of the acid
test to all candidates to determine
whether they support the labor pro-
gram, and if they fail in the test
they will fail in getting the labor
vote:
AS planned the labor program in
cludes advancement of unionism, eli
mination of unemployment by MAIN
tanning high wages, thus stimulating
production by increasing the purchas-
