| As Observers

Women observers" o IF i / a lily
designated by the War Department,
will roam at will within the combat
lines in the final phase of the Caro-
lima military maneuvers, for the first
time in Army history, it was an
nounced yesterday.
The observers consist of group
Of news writer's who will leave
Washington tonight for Camden,
S. c., maneuver headquarters, under
the sponsorship of the newly created
WomenS Interests Section, War De-
partment Public Relations Bureau.
On their arrival at the scene of ac-
leges will be extended to them as to
other official observers.
Men correspondents are liable to
capture the same as troops but this
rule was waived in the case of Wo-
men.
The women observers will not be
allowed to send spot news from
the battle front. Since they are al
lowed more freedom of action in
coming and going between various
units, it was feared their dispatches
might give away closely guarded
military secrets. They Will be allow
ed to file their reports after a safe
and reasonable time has elapsed.
The idea of sending women OBJ
servers along with the Army came
from the War Departments desire
to keep women informed on how
their husbands. sons. brothers and
boy friends live and react under
simulated fire at the front.

the Serb guerrillas as soldiers In
the regular Yugoslav Army"
(The Yugoslav government fed
when Axis armies. led by the
Nazis, overran their country last
April but never formally sur
rendered)
The guerrillas were said by the
spokesman to be armed with rifles
and machine guns hidden from the
Germans or captured since then
Some of them even have a few
small pieces of mountain artillery,
he said.
Although the guerrillas operate
mainly against the Germans. he
said, one raiding party recently
killed "a varied assortment of 1000
Italians and Quislings" on sweep
into Montenegro. The raid brought
an Italian sea bombardment of the
Montenegran coast in, reprisal, he
related.

functions of the general staff. That
it has appeared slow in adopting
or building up some of the special
task forces used so effectively in
Europe has and continues to be
criticized. But steady and pro-
gressive advance. however, has been
made in these respects during the
last year.
"One of our chief troubles" said
a War Department official. lis that
we don't know exactly what kind of
war to prepare for and where. So
we have to prepare for any kind,
anywhere. Hitler has chosen his
wars and has chosen the places
to fight"
Continues to Study Plans.
So it is with this in mind that
the general staff must continue to
study reorganizationS. No recon-
mendations have as yet been made
on any of the proposals in the pres
ent study, but it was regarded as
certain that some changes will be
approved,
The Army has never been salts
fed with the so-called triangular
division. 1t realized that the day
of the square division has passed,
but they continue in existence. Some
officials have urged further REIN
forcement Of the triangular division
to give it more staying power by the
ability to absorb heavy losses that
would be expected in a tough battle
Officers believe that the infantry
regiments in the triangular division
will be increased to four: that the two
brigades and a field artillery brigade
will be replaced by four combat
teams of a regiment Of infantry
and battalion of artillery. Engi-
neer complement also probably will
be increased.
Square Divisions Being Replaced.
The 18 infantry divisions OF
the National Guard are all of the
old square type but a start has
been made to replace some of these
with the triangular division which
is the general type of the Regular
Army.
The proposed assault artillery
units, it was believed. would have
as weapons 75-mm., l05-mm. and
the 150-mm. guns. In the German
Army these units are used as in
tegral forces of the infantry to blast
any resistance that the foot SOL
6jers n1ipht encounter
With automobile plants now turn
ing our military vehicles in mass
quantities. the motorization of all
infantry divisions is only a matter
of time. The general staff also was
reported as anxious to speed up
| production of heavy tanks, which
are now only in the experimental
stage. Only some months ago. Wal
Department officials were not sold
on these monster tanks weighing
some IS tons. They were held tC
be too slow and clumsy for our uses
They have now changed their opin-
| ion. partly because the new heavy
tank that has been developed are
considered fast.
