TWO MEW ARMY F9B I!, S. OF 4,500,000 SEEM Department Prepares to Instruct Officers and Asked France to Send Teachers TO SEND TROOPS ABROAD WITH MORE EXPERIENCE Our Officers at Front Deplore the Despatch of Raw Forces. Washington?Tho War Department i:> preparing plans for the training of 1 "0.000 officers at reserve camps during the next year. The General Staff estimates that one officer is required for every thirty men in the servi a*, so the War Department preparations, based on tha' estimate, would indicate that the Government is laying the foundation for an army of 4,.">00.000 in addition to the 1,250,000 w h > iur*e leva called t the Regular Army, the milLia and the National Ar-iv. Baker Keens l-ilnece. It is impossible t<> got from Score tary linker or the Chief of Staff any statement of the size of the army which the United States expects t, p^ace in the field ultimately. It is known, however, that whet appears to be delays is getting the first troops into the field have been merely parts of a thoroughly worked out scheme of mobilization whereby armies would be organized as rapidly as they could be supplied and transported. The Administration has constantly endeavored to avoid the confusion of Spanish War days, when the War Department tried to organize an army without adequate consideration of its necessities. The present shortage of guns and supplies, Secretary Baker said to-day, will disappear before the National Guard is in France and the first draft is organized into divisions. Thereafter the available supplies will increase so that great numbers of troops may be mobilized and thoroughly equipped with speed and precision. ? > ? Will Not Hurry. The War Department's theory is that the first 500,000 men from the United States will merely help co give the Allies a slight advantage, but that the millions who may be sent after them will end the war. To attempt to rush such a programme through in a few months would mostly result in confusion and failure, ranking officials of the War Departn eat insist. Preparations for the present army scheme will be kept slightly in advance of the plans of the Shipping Board. The War Department does not desire to have great forces on its hands in this country. Whenever the shipping is available, the troops will be ready to march abroad. An evidence of the change of policy in training army officer? was uncovered today when it develo.ped that the War Department has asked the French Governmnet to send a corps of officers fresh from the trenches to teach the new American officers modern warfare. The second reserve officers camps and those which follow will be handled to a large extent by Frenchmen who have learned war in the trenches and not in swivel chairs iv* (> Saves Doctor's Bills Instead of calomel and other violent purgatives, which are dangerous aa well aa nauseating, it is better to use a reliable medicine like Granger Liver Regulator Under date o f riMi ^ Oct. 27,1916.

GERMAN SOCIALISTS WARN GOVERNMENT Majority Parties Will Act ii Pleas for Reform Are Not Heeded. Copenhagen.?A warning that unless the German govrenment heeds demands of the Reichstag for reforms, the majority parties will take measures, was given before the Reichstag main committee on Wednesday. Resolutions of the majority, introduced by Dr. Karl Heine, Socialist, demanded for the fourth or fifth time abolition of the political censorship and limitation of the military censorship facts connected with the conduc' of the war, and criticism thereof. This was held to be necessary because it is notorious that the military authorities exercise a sweeping political censorship of the German press on the pretense that publications of a political nature may affect the military spirit of the people. Dr. Heine gave the government fou weeks until the assembly of the Reich stag, t0 menu its ways, utnt-wise, m said, the Reichstag majority would bo forced to take steps. The government has received some half dozen earlier warnings of a. similar nature and its response in the present instance will not be an unfair test of the influence of the present majority in the Reichstag. Speeches and pronouncements of Emperor William were criticised in the debate on the censorship. o Fifty-five bales of new crop cotton have been sold on the Denmark market to date, bringing from 20 to 23:50 cents .
