Army Organizing
Hard-Hihing Corps
For Emergency Duty
Three Divisions to Be
StreomIined and Two
Others Created
BY the Associated Press.

- the aSeoClSbcu Etco6.
The War Department Is rushing
organization of five Army divisions
into a mobile, hard-hitting corps
which would be ready for instant
dispatch to defend any threatened
mainland point. or such outposts as
Panama and Hawaii.
Not since the World War has the
Army had an organized corps.
President Roosevelt's national
emergency order adding 1900 men
to the Regular Army provided means
to carry out q general staff plan for
a combat corps of about 10000. Its
organization from five small, sea-
soned" divisions was recommended
by Gen. Malin Craig in retiring re-
Gently as chief of staff.
With Mr.. Roosevelt's sanction,
first moves to create the new force
were taken by Gen. George c. Mar
shall, present chief of staff, along
with other defense measures after
the European war started.
viii Create Two Divisions.
Under Army plans, three partially
organized divisions will be stream
lined" in a few weeks and made a
part of the corps. They are the 1st,
with headquarters at Fort Hamilton,
N. Y; the I'd, at Fort Sam Houston,
Tex, and the Sd, at Fort Lewis,
Wash.
Two new divisions will be created
the 5th. with headquarters at Fort
Sheridan, ILL.,, and the 9Th, at Fort
Lewis.
Under plans already approved by
the general staff, divisions are to be
reduced in size to 1853 officers, two
warrant ohcers and 1900 men for
peacetime. IN war they would be
quickly expanded to 546 officers, two
warrant officers and l0S37 men.
World War infantry divisions
numbered 27,000. Tests for, the
smaller "streamlined' unit already
have been completed at Fort Sam
Houston, Tex.
Figures Subject to Change.
Thus the new corps will have
about 10000 officers and men at
peace strength and about $4,000 in
wartime. The figures now used are
somewhat elastic. subject to change
as the organization proceeds. The
World War corps was composed OF
six divisions with a personnel Of
1000.
Aside from the approximately
q 900 troops in Hawaii, and nearly
10 600 in Panama, the Army has few
large units organized for quick
action.
Gen. Craig reported that there was
not single fully organized division.
There are four partial divisions and
five brigades in various stages Of
completion. He recommended that
the four partial divisions be ex-
panded, estimating about 5000 Of.
ficers and men would be needed. Re-
ducing the size of the divisions made
1000 adequate for the purpose.
The new streamlined division is
to be made up of three infantry
regiments, two field regiments, one
armed with 75-milimeter guns and
the other with 155s and loss. an
engineer battalion. a medical bat
talon and q quartermaster bat
talon.

Canada 10 Expand
Making Of Goods on
Embargo List
U. S. Firms Suid to Be
Considering Setting Up
Brunch Plants
By GARNETT d. HORNER.

Canadian interests are negotiat-
ing with American firms for the
manufacture In Canada of products
which they have been buying here
to the extent of more than $2,000,-
900 annually, but cannot get now
because of the arms embargo, it
was reported in official circles yes
terday.
The list of products includes air.
planes and parts sporting rifles and
ammunition and high explosives
all largely used for commercial pur-
poses, but which are placed under
the embargo along with strictly war
implements because they might also
be used for military needs.
Canada now is determined to ar
range to manufacture all its own
needs of such products in the future,
regardless of whether Congress re-
peals the embargo, in order to avoid
the possibility of ever again finding
its supplies cut off. well-informed
persons here understood.
Several American firms were said
to be considering establishment or
expansion of branch plants in Can
ada. Also reported under considera-
tion were plans for Canadian or
British capital to provide additional
plant expansion in Canada and
manufacture the needed products
under licensing and engineering su-
pervlsion arrangements with United
States companies.
Lack Facilities at Present.
There was said to be no question
but that Canadian 'airplane manu.
facture would be expanded extern
slvely, with cooperation of Ameri-
can builders. Canada already has
several airplane factories, but they
are said to lack facilities at present
for mass production. One American
plane builder has a small branch
plant in Canada and two airplane
motor factories already have as
sembling plants there.
While not having received as
much public attention as airplanes.
the ban of American shipments of
commercial explosives, sporting rifles
and ammunition to Canada was
said to have created almost as
serious a problem. The embargo on
rifles and ammunition, going into
effect this month just at the start
OF the hunting season, was said to
have been particularly annoying to
sportsmen
During the first eight months of
this year, licenses had been issued
for shipment to Canada of s2.063.-
1868 worth OF products coming under
the embargo, while only s7l6,s94
worth actually were exported. The
unused licenses have been revoked.
The export licenses last year ag-
gregated $3.'7' $50, and for 1887,

BY BURTON HAWKINS.

A mildewing 6-year- r-old letter,
strained effort in every syllable, to-
day is held responsible for mush-
rooming a timid basket ball venture
into unique. full-fledged advertis-
ing campaign which relies chiefly
on half dozen phases of sport for
its backbone. And so here the name
Heurich pops you between the eyes
almost as frequently as Roosevelt,
Hitler or Mussolini.
Energetic Chris Heurich, jr, is no
bush-beater. He has branched out
in the local world of sport because
he has discovered it yields dividends.
His chief purpose in sponsoring a
half dozen teams year in and year
out is to ballyhoo his product, but
he also has needed sports here and
at the same time given employment
in his plant to more than a score of
crack athletes.
1t all started some seasons ago
when Ralph Bennie, now captain of
the Heurich Brewers, Washington's
entry in the American Professional
Basket Ball League, framed a plead
ing letter to Heurich requesting his
sponsorship of a pro quint which
would include, among others, Bozie
Berger, Joe Croson and the letter
writer. All they asked was that
Heurich purchase their equipment,
not underwrite any losses.
Finds It's Good Advertising.
Chris was intrigued. He dipped
his finger into professional basket
ball and found the resulting ad-
vertising sweet. He found, to his
extreme delight, that additional
hundreds were learning of his suds
through following that club. He
caught the fever and has thrived
with expansion.
Heurich built a compact gym in
his own plant to house that team
and then began to branch out. He

Held without a field goal until

as If they were in midseason form,
so accurate was their shooting and
so effective their guarding.
Maryland's only consolation is
that it did manage to outscore Penn

Throughout that period, however,
the Quakers were too far ahead to
be bothered, Maryland never coming

An odd rivalry marked the Con-

won by Gonzaga, 26-14 Each team
featured a player who previously
had attended the other school.
Joe Bauman of the Mounts, who
has been setting a fast pace in all
their games: was high scorer with
10 points. He gives promise of round
ing into an all-around star per-
former in his first year of high
school basket ball. This is not his
first year in high school, however.
For three years he attended Con-
zaga but passed up basket ball.

former pupil at Mount Rainier He
and Bauman live across the street

The game was exciting in spite of
the lop-sided score. Superior re-
serve strength was responsible for
the outcome as most of Gonzaga s
subs were able to score a couple of
points each while scoring for the
Mounts was confined to three
players. A big last period did the
trick. as Gonzaga was trailing. 1912,
