/ Another reorganization plan for the
regular army, the third to be drafted
| in the last year and a. half as a re-
suit Of cuts in strength ordered by
congress- has been completed and the
I War department in statement
showed just what had been done with
the regular forces to carry out sue
cessive laws.
"This completes the statement
said, "a reduction which; has been vir-
tually continuous for eighteen months,
totaling approximately 100000 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 pspots, which
the project contempIates, was being
delayed "fn order not to interfere
with the training of the civilian com
ponents of the army during the sum-
lmer camps" u8 0l81 Y
Regulars Perform Same Missions.
Explaining the difficulties encoun-
tered in planning a reorganization to
conform to the enlisted strength of
125sO0O as fixed in the last appropria-
ton acts, the statement pointed out
that no change had been made in the
missions assigned to the. regulars in
the, national defense, acr Of 1920, I'M
der which an authorized strength OF
2S5,0OO was declared necessary in the
judgment Of congress to carry out
the military policy then laid down. "a

statement said. lis l55,00O Jess than
authorized by the act which resulted
from the lessons Of the, World war
and assigned the missions to the reg
ulari army, and 100000 less than the
authorized prewar. strength before the
three-part army was created"
The first problem taken up in the
reorganization was apportionment OF
the authorized strength among the
branches Of the service in order to
keep the military machine as well
balanced as possible in view OF the
specialized units which must be re-
tanned as a. war precaution. Allot-
ments were made With the reductions

Fair Lady" Based on
Sicilian Love Plot

o1N41ANAAA AAo - = Az
Thrills, romance and mystery in a
setting of exquisite artistry; action,
heart Interest and dash Of history,
are the ingredients that make up the
splendid offering at the Augusta
Opera house today and Saturday. All
these are furnished by Fair Lady"
the perturbation of Rex Beach's
novel The Net" 1t is far different
from any Of the famous Alaskan sto-
ries by Beach. Betty Blythe is the
leading woman and she is surrounded
by a most capable cast Of character
The leading role is that of a beauti-
full young Sicilian countess, played
by Betty Blythe, one of the most
beautiful women Of the screen; the
villain is portrayed by Thurston Hall,
who is the very personification OF the
"polished' criminal. The leading
male role, that Of a typical American,
is filled perfectly by Robert Elliott
Prominent throughout the story is
Lucrezia, Sicilian peasant servant
and Florence Auer IS perfect in the
part. Myra Nell, a frivolous young
Southern girl, is ideally played by
ter James, Arnold Lucy and Efing-
ham Pinto, all well known to Broad
way, support the principals with
characterizations that breathe real
ism.
The story opens in the island of
Sicily, but is soon transferred to
America. 1t tells of the workings of
a secret society Of the criminal ele-
ment, and the efforts Of its leader,
one CardI, to marry the Countess
Margherita. When Margherita is
about to marry young nobeman
Cardi has him assassinated by his
band, and Norvin Blake, a young
American, nearly loses his life at
tempting to defend that of the pros
pectlNe bridegroom. Margherita
takes the Sicilian oath Of vengeance
and swears to avenge the death of
her beloved.
Later in America, Margherita pos
ing as nurse in the foreign quarter
of New Orleans, again meets Blake
who declares his love for her, and
between them they track down Cardi,
the leader of the lawless orsaniza
ton.
In dramatic climax Blake and
Cardi fight desperate hand ID hand
battle, while a mob Of enraged citi-
zens surges through the streets of
the city crying for the life of the
bandit.
The city scenes. showing the wave
of indignation swelling into mob ac-
ton and the sweep of the enraged
crowds through the wide thorough
fares and into the narrow streets and
alleys of the city are remarkable
touches of stage craft that do great
credit to the director Kenneth Webb
and the skill of the cameramen in
securing the last ounce of thrilling
action.
In construction the story fulflls
! every demand for mystery and un-
certainty of conclusion. Right up to
the very last scenes the outcome of
/ the events are Kept hidden from the
spectator ana then the story is
brought to an end with surprising
but highly satisfactory finish.-Adv.

Building Revival
In Chicago's Loop

Chicago, August 10-(By the As
sociated Press )-Despite efforts of
| commercial and civic organizations
| fighting the congestion within the
iron circle of the union loop, that his
toric center of Chicago is enjoying an
Unprecedented building boom. The
boom, however, is not at the expense
Of the outlying sections and it is most
noticeable on the fringe of the elcvat-
ed railroad circle.
Three great schemes" arc held re-
sponsible for the most noteworthy
j building ventures near the heart Of
the city. They are the South Water
street plan, which will change the
famed fruit and vegetable market in
to double decked thoroughfare with
the upper level devoted exclusively to
motor traffic; the Union Station plan
and the Grant Park plan,
These schemes which primarily are
traffic control and congestion relief
ideas have received the cooperation
OF the realty owners in the neighbor-
hood and they are promising to CO.
operate by the erection of architec-
turally harmonious structures.
The Union station which is 10 be
erected Just across the river from the
loop will cost about ten million dol
lars but the buildings which belong
to the scheme will total as much
again. They include two giant
freight terminals and a L. S. Mail
terminal, the latter nearing compile
ticn.
Work is expected to start shortly on
the new Illinois Central station at
Roosevelt road, just south Of the loop.
The Field museum has just been COM
pleted to the east of the station. The
city is planning to build, just south
of the museum, a titanic stadium
which will be big enough to house the
Olympic games. and syndicate has
drawn up plans for a great hotel to
be called the Stevens, to the west Of
this group. All these buildings will
be of Ionic architecture.
The Chicago Tribune has an
nounced a contest for architects for
the plans for a building to be erected
by the newspaper, just north Of the
Chicago river which is to be "the
most beautiful building in the world"
Within the loop proper the streets
are filled with materials and side
walks are occupied by wrecking ma
chinery. Old land such as the STRAIT
ford hotel, the Gr4:. Pacific hotel, the
First Methodist church building and
McNickers theatre have been demol-
ished to make room for modern
structures. most of them skyscrapers.
which rapidly are winging their way
skyward
On the last named spot a s20,000.-
600 theatre is being erected, while
two other downtown theatres are
nearing completion. The Methodist
church is building a magnificent skv-
scraper church in the very heart of
the loop. On the site of the STRAIT
ford hotel huge office building is to
be constructed. while in the financial
quarter the Federal Reserve Bank
