Washington, Sept. 1.-Another re- organization plan for the regular army, the third to be drafted in the last year and a half as result or cuts in strength ordered by Congress, has been completed and the War De- partment today in a statement showed what had been done with the regular forces to carry out successive laws
 This completes the statement said "a reduction which has been virtually continuous for eighteen months, totalling approximately 1OO,-- 900 men or 45 per cent of the actual strength
 The departments statement said the plans were now being carried into effect but that redistribution of the troops in permanent posts, which the project contemplates, was being de layed '-in order not to interfere with the training of the civilian compon- ents of the army during the summer l camps"
 Explaining the difficulties encoun- | tered in planning a reorganization to conform to the enlisted strength of l125,OOO as fixed in the last appropria- tion acts, the statement pointed out that no change had been made in the missions assigned to the regulars in
 the National Defense act of 1920 un- der which an authorized strength of 2S5,0 was declared necessary in the Judgment of Congress to carry out the
 military policy then laid down. The total present StEenSln, the statement said, lis 155,000 less than authorized by the act which resulted from the lessons of the World War and assigned the missions to the regu-
 lar army. and 1O2,0O0 less than the authorized pre-war strength, before l the three part army was created.'' | Problem of Apportionnent. | The first problem taken up in the
 reorganization was apportionment of | the authorized strength among the
 branches of the service in order tC l keep the military machine as well bal
 anced as possible in view of the specialized units which must be re- | tained as a war precaution. A1lot
 ments were made with the reductions in each arm from the National De. 1 fence Act strength also shown as fol

 men; cavalry, from 20,0OO to 9,S71 field artillery, 37,0OO to 17,173; coas
 artillery, from 3O,O0O to 12,O26; en gineers, from 12,0Oo to 5,020; air ser
 vice. from 16,0OO to $500 and sigma l corps, from 5000 to PISA. In non
 combatant branches, the quartermas ter corps was reduced from 10000 tC 5000; ordnance, from 4,500 to 2,3O7

THIRD REORGANIZATION PLAN FOR U. s. REGULAR ARMY CALLS FOR
 ARMY OF HUNDRED THOUSAND

U. S. 96,723 enlisted men ''for the per formance of the many duties assigned under the National Defence Act. This number includes about l,OOO men still in Germany.
 Among troops in the U. s. the greatest cuts were made in the coast defenses and mobile forces, and later term applying to those units avail for emergency purposes, for protection of our southern border, as model and demonstrating force for citizen sol diers as a basis for expansion in the event of hostile threat against the statement added that it was found impossible to reduce the overhead" administrative force for the three-part army to any appreciable extent or in line troops. Provides For 1O7,OOO. Assto the mobile force, it was point ed out that the National Defense Act provided a strength of 107,O00 men for this purpose with a nine division structure on which to build a war army in case of need.
 "Inasmuch,'' the statement added. "as it is now only possible to allot 43, 900 men to the mobile force, or 39 per cent. of the force contemplated, a substitute had to be found for the divisional organization-the rein forced brigade-and the training cen ters abandoned.'
 tDn0er the present plan, the SCaL6- ment said,'' the Second Division at Camp Travis, Texas, will be kept in tact. The organization of the First Division (assigned to the Atlantic Coast) and the Third Division( as- signed to the Pacific Coast) will be maintained with their units distribut- ed within the First, Second, Third and Ninth Corps Areas. Only a few units of the First Division will be garrision- ed in the First and Third Corps Areas. | the division being practically entirely | in the Second Corps Areas.
 'In the First, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh, reinforced brigades will be organized and sub stituted for the divisional organiza- tion. These brigades will consist of an Infantry Brigade Headquarters, | two Infantry regiments, a battalion of l Field Artillery, and an Air Service Observation Squadron and Photo Sec | ton. Although the units will be wide
 ly distributed in each Corps Area, it
 is hoped through this medium to have
 a force available in the event of emer- | gency, the basis for rapid expansion
 in the event of war, and a practical
 demonstrating organization for the in- | struction of the citizen army l The mobile force has been assigned each corps area as follows:

 1S92-1922

First graduate of T. U. s., entering with out conditions the Sophomore class at Yale, constructvely active in the business, profes sional, and religious life of the city, the School rejoices in what you have done and are doing. There have been no better stu dents. But, to jump a wide interval (4ou long held the record for the broad jump. B., now at Yale under the new dispensa- ton, is one of the happiest and most enthu- siastic Yale men 1 have known.
 What lot they are! And how they have made good - those who finished their pre- paratory work here, those who took year or two in the big schools before entering college, and those who went directly into business! I was checking them up the other day; and I enjoyed 1t: they are really running their towns One third of the boys have gone to Yale; and forty other colleges and technical schools are aimae matres to the rest.
 As in your own day, the older students are going strong commonly saving one year out of four and often saving two years; and the opportunities to those who are one, two, or three years below high-school grade, are even greater We probably do more per sonal work to-day with every student; and this combined with the class and group work, yields the largest returns The morning. afternoon. and evening sessions will be con- tinued this year, beginning on t he usual Wednesday, the 2Oth of September.
 Sincerely yours,
 VINCENT C. PECK.
