REORGANIZATION OF ^ AMERICA'S ARMY Washington, July 23. Americas's military establishment is being practically revolunized under the terms of the new army reorganization bill which became effective July 1. Army officrs say the work will not be completed for some months because of the broad scope of the measure passed | at the last session of Congress to , place the land forces on a permanent peace-basis. While the regular army will contain only 295,000 officers and men scattered over the country and the insular possessions, it will be so arranged in conjunction with the Na! tional Guard and the Reserve that rapid expansion of the nation's fighting forces in time of emergency will be possible. The National Guard will have about 440,000 officers and men, but the strength of the reserves has not I yet been worked out and will depend largely on the enlistments of eligibles. The regular army reserve as it formerly existed, composed of former enlisted men furloughed to the reserve tn pnmnlotn ?? listment period ceased to exist as such on July 1. In its place there is established the enlisted reserve corps. The members of the former, except veterans of the world war may enlist for only one year. The officers reserve corps is composed of officers who held temporary or reserve' commissions during the war emergency and graduates of the student officers trianing school. To accomplish the reorganization of the National Guard the initial organization of the reserve, the army bill provides for a general committee to % be composed of regular army general staff officers and an equal number of reserve national guard officers. In addition, 52 other committees, representing each state and territory will arrange the National Guard organization in each state and territory. Some of thes committees have not been apponited by the governors and consequently this work has not yet been put xinder way. While no full plan of organization has been made public, a tentative plan to be placed before the committees would divide the country into nine districts with an army corps in each. This corps would consist of one regular, one guard and two reserve divisions so organized that in an emergency the two reserve divisions, which theoretically would be the only ones much below war strength, could be filled up with selective service men. A full quota of officers drawn from the officers' reserve corps would be available for these divisions at all times. The new regular army strength provides for approximately 17,000commissioned officers. To provide this numhpr nhnt 7 000 roaorvp or?H temporary officers have been kept on duty and it is the plan to reach the full officer strength by commissioning about 7,000 such officers and enlisted men in the permanent army. Officers and men to be so commissioned will be selected by a board, known as the Perishing board, headed by General Perising and including six other officers. The bill broadens the scope of the reserve officers training corps at the various ' cational institutions over the cou y, provides instructors and material for the schools and also authorizes summer camps to last six weeks for advanced trainnig of the student officers. Graduates of the training corps may be commissioned in the organized reserve. The reorganization measure further provides that the head of the militia bureau of the War Department, which under the reorganization has jurisdiction over national guard and reserve affairs, shall be a National Guard officer not below the rank of major who will receive the pay and allowances and have the rank wniie on duty of a major general in the army. The offices of second and third assistant secretaries of war are abolished by the measure and their duties absorbed by the assistant secretary nf ivrur tirV?A \uill Kn / !-*?-* vorn/1 urif K ? ? ? */ ?? ??

PONTIUS PILATE'S OFFICE NOW HOME OF AMERICAN Jerusalem, June 30. The office of governor of Jerusalem once occupied by Pontius Pilate, is now held by Col. Ronald Storrs, a graduate of Cambridge University and son of the Dean of Rochester College, Eng. His task is one to test the administrative ability of any man. Jerusalem is a city of disunions, where, whatever may come of the future, for the moment Zionist and Arabs are passioately divided and to steer a just path between them and induce them to join him on that path is thankless work. It is to that task however, that he dhiefly devotes himself. Twice a week he has meetings of his favorite pro-Jerusi lem society, where French, British. Americans. Rabbis. Zionists. and others who are in any way prominent in the life of the city are leaders, commercial men of standing brought together and in the course of debate, led to see that they have in common a single citizenship. His motto as governor is "unify and be friends." Colonel Storrs was one of the prime movers in the establishment of an independent Arab kingdom. He is 38 years old.
