each, commanded by major general
with a suitable staff.
Each of these corps will consist Of
one regular division, one National
Guard division and two reserve d1vi-

drawn from the Officers Reserve
Corps would be available for these di-
visions at all times. officers Of the
general staff are studying all the
necessary details for the proposed re-
organization and their reports will be
available for the action of the Secre-
tary of War within the next few
weeks.
While the Regular Army will con-
tain only 295,000 officers and men
scattered over the country and the
insular possessions. 1t will be so ar
ranged in conjunction with the Ma

rapid expansion of the nations fight

be possible.
The National Guard will have about
100000 officers and men. but the

Regular Army officers and a score or
more of reserve corps officers from
the Small Arms Training School of
1918. A small arms firing school has
been established at the camp for the
instruction of citizens in marksman-
ship and will continue until the close
of the matches at the end of August.
Members of teams and other citi-
zens will be given individual instruc-
tion in the use apd care of the rifle
and pistol by competent instructors,
preparatory to taking part in the
matches beginning next Wednesday.
Service for the range is furnished by
the I'd Infantry brigade from Camp
Taylor. KY.
Among the teams under instruction
at the camp are the District of Co

teams in charge of Capt. Ralph A. AL

brose channel lightship. distance Of
about sixteen miles.
On foggy days 500-cycle alternat-
ing current will be sent through the
cable to the lightship, where its radio
emanations can be picked up. it is
stated. by all vessels within a radius
of half mile. The apparatus neces-
sary on the ship is slight. A wire
coil is slung over the side of the
vessel near the bow, and connected
with the station of the wireless op-
orator, who can, by the intensity OF
the sound, guide the vessel to po-
sition directly over the cable. Then
by keeping the sound in each ear
equa1ized he can guide the vessel
safely up the channel to the end of
the cable, through the tbickest fog.
IF the tests prove successful" says
Commander Mcconnell. "the possibili-
ties are enormous. 1t would be en-
tirely feasible to guide vessels In
that way the entire distance from
Ambrose light to their berths in the
North or East rivers and to extend
the cable up the East river to Long
Island sound. Another cable, with a
different note, so that it might easily
be distinguished from the other,
could be used to guide vessels from
their berths in port out to the open
sea-"
Thousands of dollars are now lost
when vessels are compelled to remain
anchored offshore during thick
weather rather than risk feeling their
way through fog or snow.

1t was explained that the profess

drinks were to be had. But the pres

1t increasingly difficult TO find new

Inquiries in retail stores dealing In

announced that there had been an in

SILVER TUBE OPERATION

Shot Through Neck, Conceivable,
Pa, Man is Aided By Unique
Surgical Treatment.

BALTIMORE, Feb. pa silver
tube, about two inches long. inserted
in the throat OF David Wender, Of
Connellsville. Pa, has enabled him to
breathe for the last ten weeks. Wen
der is at University Hospital, slowly
recovering from an extraordinary
operation performed by DR.. Edwar
A. Looper in which part of the ira.
chea was cut away and the tube-in-
serted.
About 10 o'clock on the night OF
October IS Wender, accompanied by
another detective, was walking near
some freight cars on the Western
Maryland railroad siding near Con-
nellsville, when he saw a figure leap
to the ground from the platform be-
tween two cars. Rushing up, Wen
der grappled with the man, and
placed him under arrest. At the same
time he recog nized the Waterman.
The latter, believing Wender to be
burglar. broke from his grasp and
shot him through the neck.
Local physicians could not nothing
for Wender. On November 80 he came
to University Hospital, and the opc,G-

Saturday another operation was per-
formed, and a small tube insert. 1t
is hope that ultimately Wender will
be able to breath naturally. At pres

strict Rules for NewIyweds.
On board the Pamela Captain Han
sen laid down strict instruction for
the newlyweds. Mrs. Patterson was
escorted to the cabin and assigned
the neatest room on the saloon deck.
Adolph took his place in the fore
castle, set apart for the sailors, and
continued his task as seaman.
From February until Monday
Adolph was only permitted to throw
love-lorn looks toward the saloon
deck, where he dare not go because
the mastermaid OF the ship was the
ruler there. The bride was a guest
ut the cabin table. but otherwise she
was made a prisoner in her apart
ment.
1t is told by Adolph's shipmates
that they became troubled over his
failure TO enjoy the ships bill of fare.
But joy came to the bridegroom Mon
day, when h~ was permitted to go
TO the cabin quarters and talk to his
bride through the naughty headlights,
through which she could hardly put
her head.
1t is said that Immigrant Commits
sioner stump is always on the side OF
true lovers and 1t is a good guess
that the romance will turn out in
proper form. The brdegroom's first
citizen papers arc thought to be suffi-
Cient to permit him to claim 1ngrid
