Pershingg Appeals
To War Aids for
Full Cooperation
Calls Upon Bureau Chiefs to
Emulate Spirit of Co-or-
dination That Made the
Work Effective Abroad
From The Trs1ume's WASHINGTON Buranu

WASHINGTON, July 2.-The Perish
/ lng- Harbord regime in the General
staff of the army began to function
with a snap to-day, when the chiefs of
| the various bureaus Of the staff and
! directing heads of all the line branches
were summoned to the office of the
/ chief of staff to hear what was ex-
pected of them under the new Admin
istration.
Serving in the capacity of Acting
Secretary Of War as we'll as chief of
and his chief assistant, Major General
James G. Harbord, outlined to their
subordinate officers in the general staff
| some of the policies which would be
followed
General Pershing told the assembled
officers that he desired to put into i'm
mediate operation the same spirit of
cooperation and coordination that feat
ured the service of the General Staff in
France during the war. and he called
upon all his subordinates to take meas
ures within their particular depart
ments which would work for greater
efficiency. This policy of increased eff
tectiveness in the War Department,
| General Pershing said, was to be ex-
tended to include the organized re-
serves and the National Guard, in order
that the full military resources Of the
country might become Immediately
available in the event Of emergencies.
The question of economy also was
touched on by General Pershing, who
declared that the Secretary of War ex-
pected every division Of the military
establishment to be operated at mint
mum Of cost. Attention was directed
to the provisions of the army appro-
priation bill, and officers were inform ed
that they would be expected to keep
within the amount Congress had grant
ed for maintenance of the military
establishment
A reduction in the enlisted strength
Of the regular army of at least 10000
men is expected by General Hartford ia
be accompli shed this month as re-
suit of the order of Secretary Weeks
to all commanders directing them to
authorize the discharge of all men who
make application during the month
Secretary Weeks's order directs corps
division commanders to approve the
discharge papers of all applicants who
are not now serving sentences or are
not under charges for attractions OF
military discipline. No man will be
discharged, however, who is indebted
to the United States unless he has q
sufficient sum to his credit to cover the
Indebtedness.
General Harbord characterizes the
discharge, order as marking an innova-
ton in military affairs, and said he be-
lieved that it would result in q large
decrease in every division of the
service.

Your Frog Licked
Greeting Shouted to
Tardy French Liner
Passengers Aboard France,
However, Knew Fate of
Idol Before Landing, Re-
ceiving Returns by Radio

The French liner France from Havre
belated because of poor German coal,
arrived here yesterday after Carpenter
had been knocked out by Dempsey.
Excursion boats jammed to the rails
with merry makers steamed in close to
her and shouted: your frog is licked.
Some frog"
Passengers at the rail, many of them
French, understood what was said.
Others, who did not, inquired what the
Americans were shouting, and when in
formed merely shrugged their shout
ders and walked away. They knew all
about what went on in Jersey City, for
the night in detail was received aboard
the vessel by radio. There was an
abundance of interest until the news
OF the telling fourth round was re-
ceived, and that disposed of the affair
aboardship. When the France locked
at o'clock last night there was little
or no discussion of the defeat of Car
pentier. For all the French on board
it was closed incident
Two of the 172 saloon passengers
held tickets for the fight and had come
here to attend it. When it was appar-
ent that the France could not possibly
get to port in time for the big bout the
holders sent radios to friends to use
the tickets that had been reserved for
them
According to the passengers, a WON
an manicurist was attending to the fin
gers of woman passenger when the
flash came aboard that Dempsey had
been victorious.
WITH a shrill shrek of disappont-
ment, the cuticle artist dropped into a
bowl Of water the fingers she had been
attending and fed exclaiming: "No!
No! No! Eet ees impossible"
Among the cabin passengers were
Mr.. and Mrs: j. Hampden Dougherty, A.
r. Brown, Major B. Y. Wong, medical
director of the Red Cross in Shanghai;
Nine. V. Delalande, Mr.. and Mrs. E. A,
Thompson, Mrs. E, R. Sturtevant, Miss

SOUTH AFRICA rs
AFTER FREEDOM
(sy Associated Press.) J

LONDON, Feb. S.--No less vital an
issue than the secession of an impor-
tant state of the British empire by
ballot arises in the election today OF
a new legislativeA assembly in the
Union of South Africa In England
it is considered that few more impor-
tant elections have taken place in a
British dominion.
Broadly, the question is whether
South Africa, comprising the prov
inces of the Cape of Good Hope. Natal,
Transvaal and Orangge Free states,
shall continue it's allegiance to the
king of England as one of the self
governing dominions of the empire or
whether the South African union shall
set up as an independent republic.
English sympathies naturally are
with the loyalist sections of South
Africa. Both sections are, however,
admired for their decision to settle
their differences by the ballot rather
than by more drastic means.

HUN war PLOT
IS DISCOVERED
German Fiendishness Revealed
When Engines of Mount
Vernon Are Taken Apart
ley AssoeIated Press

NEW YORK, Feb. S.-A German war
plot that failed was revealed here to-
day. Four defective bolts, taken from
the machinery Of the transport Mount
Vernon told the tale. They were dis
covered byA the engineering forces of
Commander r. D. Gatewood, director of
the shipping boards division of con-
struction and repairs, and placed on ex-
hibition at his office. Here is the story.
After the Mount Vernon-formerly the
Kronprinz Essen Cecile, the famous
"gold Ship that raced into Bar Harbor
in the early days of the war-had been
seized as troop ship, her German crew
cut two thirds of the way through the
four six-inch bolts that connected the
engines with the main crank shaft. The
s4silfully made cuts remained hidden by
the fittings of the engines and were only
discovered recently when the engines
We're taken apart.
1t is presumed that in certain Ameri-
can detention camps there were trained
German engineers who waited eagerly
for reports which did not come of
something happening to the converted
troop ship. For it is believed that the
bolts were left barely holding with the
hope that the craft would just creep
out into U-boat lanes and then fall prey
to the under-sea craft when sudden
strain on the engines came with an or
der for fun speed ahead.
But the break down never came.
Luck or toughness of steel permitted the
liner to make a dozen round trips
through submarine infested waters car
rying on each voyage from 1900 to 1000
men, Just to round things out, she en-
circIed the globe to bring troops home
from Russia.
The Mount Vernon had several mar
row escapes. Once she was torpedoed
and 35 of her crew killed, but made her
way to a French port.
