Crater had no reason to die or

happily married. He had been ap-

something must have been work

tual experience in making war
materials.
4. Building up new stores of
ammunition to replace World war
stocks which are becoming seri-
ously depleted.
Meanwhile, due to development
of the automatic rifle and new
tactical theories, the general staff
is considering a reorganization of
the army little short of revolu-
tionary. 1t would increase the
lightness and mobility of troops
and enable them to strike more
quickly in the fast-moving cam
paigns of the next war.
During the World war, Ameri-
can divisions consisted of $4,000
men. Even now, in peace time,
they include und 10000
troops. These figures were work
ed out on the firing power of an
infantryman using the old-type
Springfield rifle. But military
men now estimated that with the
new rapid-fire shoulder rifle, per-
fected only recently, a division of
between 10000 and $4,000 men
is equally or perhaps more for
midable, while having the advan-
tage of greater mobility and need
ing smaller supplies from the rear.
Studies of this reorganization
are now being made in the war
department. 1t is confidently ex-
pected by many officers within
the near future.
