War Department Completes Plans for Abolishing
 Six Departments

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26. The War Department today announced that it has prepared an order, which awaits Secretary Newton D. Bakers signature to become effective, dDol ishing the single Army Departments provided in the Army reorganization bill. passed at thes last session oi Congress. Each corps will con sist of one regular, one Guard and two reserve divisions so organized that in an emergency the two re serve divisions, which theoretically would be the only ones much below war strength, could be filled up with sclectlve service men. A full quota of officers drawn from the Officers Reserve Corps wouli be available for these divisions at all times.

 Reserve Established
 The National Guard will have about 440,000 officers and men, but the strength of the reserve has not yet been worked out and will depend largely upon the enlistment of eligi- bles.
