WAR DEPARTMENT'S
PLANS DISCLOSED
Orders Issued to National
Camp Commanders Show
How Force Is Organized.
NEW DIVISION IS ADDED
A Letter
First National Array of Half-Million
Men Will Have Sixteen White
ami One Colored
Contingent.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 9. Orders is
sued today to commanders of National
-Army t-antonments disclose for the
first time the War Department's com
plete plans for the training and or
ganization of the first half million
men of the National Army.
Shortage of men in the three Na
tional Guard divisions in the South,
the 30th, 31st and 39th, coupled with
a decision to form a new National
Army division of negro troops, has
made necessary a readjustment of the
forces at lo of the 16 cantonments. The
geographical complexion of three Na
tional Army divisions will be changed
entirely as a result.
General Bliss, chief of staff, issued
this explanation:
"The selected men now -beins gath
ered into the 16 National Army can
tonments will be used to form the first
force of 500.000 men authorized in the
act of Congress approved May 18, 1917,
and to fill up the National Guard divi
sions to practically the maximum
strength of the new organization. The
balance of the 687,000 selected men will
Tte used to supplement the voluntary
enlistments for the special and tech
nical troops that are such an impor
tant part of the organization of a mod
ern army. It is expected that the vol
untary enlistments for the regular
army will be enouph to keep that
branch of the Nation's forces filled up
to strength without transferring men
to it from this first selection for the
Rational Army.
Colored Men Dlatrlbnted.
"The force of 500.000 men will be or
ganized into 16 white divisions and one
colored division. One white division
will be organized at each of the 16
Kational Army cantonments and the
units of the colored division will be
organized at the various cantonments
where the number of colored troops is
sufficient to organize a divisional unit.
"Instead of concentrating all of the
colored men in the few cantonments
of the Southern states, the policy of
the War Department will be to dis
tribute them more or less evenly
throughout all of the 16 National Army
cantonments.
"In the Southern states whose quotas
Co to the cantonments at Columbia,
S. C. : Atlanta, Ga., and Little. Rock,
.Ark. (Camp Jackson, Gordon and Pike),
the numer of white men required to till
up the National Guard divisions fur
nished by those same states is so great
and the proportion of colored to white
in the population of those states is so
Breat that it has been found to be
physically impossible to organize three
National Guard and three National
Army divisions at full strength from
the white quotas of these states, and,
therefore, the War Department has de
cided to take all the white tnen from
these, states, both National Guard and
National Army, and organize them into
four full strength divisions (three Na
tional Guard and one National Army).
This National Army division will be or
ganized at Camp Jackson from the men
loft over at Camps Jackson, Gordon
and Pike after the three National
Guard divisions (30th, 31st and 39th)
have been" filled to strength.
Surplnfl Men to Be Organized.
"At Camp Gordon, after its white
quota has been transferred to the Na
tional Guard and to Camp Jackson,
there will be organized a National
Army division made up of surplus white
men drawn from Camp Devens, Camp
Upton, Camp Dix. Meade and Camp
Lee: and at Camp Pike, after its white
quota has been transferred to the Na
tional Guard and Camp Jackson, there
will be formed a National Army Divi
sion made up of surplus white men
drawn from Camps Sherman, Custer,
Grant, Taylor, Dodge, Funston and
Travis.
"This plan, though somewhat differ
ent from the one originally adopted by
the War Department of forming a com
plete National Army division composed
exclusively of men from each of the 16
National Army areas, is in full com
pliance with the spirit of the . law of
iMay IS. because under it each white
National Army division still represents
a distinct geographical area, the one
at Camp Jackson being made up en
tirely from the white men of the ex
treme Southern states, the one at Camp
Gordon being made up entirely from

Tike being made up entirely from the
surplus white men of the great Middle
Western section. On the other hand,
the colored division will be made up of
representatives from every part of the
Nation and will be a truly National
division.
"Also under this plan it is possible
to fill each National Guard division
with men drawn from the same geo
graphical area from which the National
Guard division is drawn."
One Division Is Added.
The new plan adds a division to the
National Army organization, making 17
divisions in that force to supplement
the 17 National Guard divisions. The
negro division probably will be desig
nated as the Ninety-Second division
National Army. It will be mobilized as
a division only when ordered to France
for duty. The force will be the largest
fighting unit of negro troops in the
Army and the majority of its officers
will come from the negro officers
training camp at Des Moines, la.
The division will take in nearly 30,000
of the 83,000 negroes registered under
the draft law. There will be organized
in addition, however, service units for
work behind the lines. Orders were
published today authorizing 24 of these.
to be raised by voluntary transfer of
drafted men or voluntary enlistment
from civil life. It has been stated
that 250,000 men must be sent abroad
for this purpose.
Supplementing General Bliss' ex
planation the department issued a sum
mary of orders governing the allot
ment of quotas of negro drafted men to
the cantonments. With th: exception
of Camps Jackson, Gordon, Pike and
Travis each cantonment will accommo
date all of the negro quotas from the
states from which its white troops are
drawn. Supplemental assignments of
colored contingents to these camps
have been made as follows:

SALEM, - Or., Oct; 0. (Special.)
The Public Service Commission today
granted a J 5 Py cent increase in
freight rates to the Sumpter Valley
Railroad on class rates, certain com
modity rates and certain distance rates,
but refused to grant such an increase
on grain, salt, coal, ore. lumber and
.logs. On those commodities the tariffs
will remain the, same as now -published.
In granting the increases requested,
the Commission enunciated a policy
which has not appeared in any of its
former orders.
"Railroads in 'a growing and unde
veloped country like Eastern Oregon
are not finished," states the order.
Thev are in a constant state of ox-
tension and construction -which con-
inuallv calls for new capital. These
demands must be met by inducing the
investors to furnish the necessary
funds or the utility will stagnate and
the community will suffer accordingly.
Kate of Return Vot Klxed.
'Manifestly capital must be assured
a fair rate of return before it can be
induced to enter into a public service
under rate regulation- of profits. Capi
tal will only seek enterprises where
the profit is commensurate with the
risk involved.
"Obviously the rate of return re
quired to attract capital to any utility
cannot be determined with mathemati
cal exactness. Each case must be de
termined upon its own merits. We are
convinced from the present record that
this company is entitled to an increased
return."
In Its order the Commission points
out that the operating revenues of the
company dropped materially during the
year from July 1, 1914, to June 30,
1915.- This decrease tn revenue was
occasioned largely by the destruction
by fire of a large sawmill located upon
its line. Since 191a the oneratinc reve-

Special State Agents Arrest George

His East Side Home. .
When George Nardino, 369 East Mar
ket street, slightly overindulged in
liquid refreshments and ventured into
the streets Sunday night he excited
the curiosity of three special state
agents operating here in an attempt
to check the illegal traffic of liquor.
Nardino was shadowed until Monday,
when he was placed under arrest.
Nearly 1000 gallons of whisky and wine
were found in his home. He is charged
with violating the prohibition law.
After placing Nardino under arrest
the' three officers searched his home
and found five gallons of whisky, three
40-gallon barrels of homemade wine
and about 800 gallons of wine in proe
ess of fermentation. The larger quan
tity of the wine had only recently been
made and had not acquired the neces-
scry alcoholic strength to come within
the classification of intoxicating liquor
under the state s prohibition law.
While searching tha premises the of
ficers found a dead female Chinese
pheasant, which had been shot in vio
lation of the state game laws. They
notified the State Fish and Game War
den, with the result that a warrant was

SALEM TEACHER TO SPEAK
Annual Sessions of Blue Mountain
Trl-County Institute Begin Oct. 10.
WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY, Salem
Or., Oct. 9. (Special.) Professor John
Hall will leave Wednesday for Baker,
where he will speak at the annual ses
sion of the Blue Mountain "Tri-County
Institute. The institute begins October
10 and will continue for three days.
Dr. Hall is the head of the depart
ment of social sciences in the uni
verslty and his lectures will be along
this line. : He is on the programme for
two main addresses. The subjects
which he will present are: "The Pres
ent Demand of Leadership" and "The
Present Crisis in Our Labor Problems.
nues have increased materially, the
order states, showing a rapid -gain dur
ing the year ending June -30, 1916, due
largely to increased activity of the
mining industry, and since that date "a
steady increase which would seem to
Indicate a healthy commercial condition
in the territory served." , .
Expenses Mount in 1917.
On the other hand, with the excep
tion of the year 1915. the ratio of op
erating expenses to operating revenues
has been below that of 1914. while during-
the year 1917 the expenses are
again approaching the revenues. This
late increase, the order states, is due
largely to Increased wage scales.
"Barring unforeseen contingencies
and making allowance for the pay
ment of increased material and labor
costs, the last two years may be taken
as fairly representative of future oper
ations if normal growth is realized,"
states the order.
This order is an echo of the general
demand for 15 per cent increases in
freight rates, asked by roads all over
the. country and denied by the Inter
state Commerce Commission some time
ago.
Commodities Are I. luted.
Taking into consideration local con
ditions, ho-.vever, the Public Service
Commission left open such hearings as
roads might desire on increases in in
trastate tariffs, and the Sumpter Val
ley was one of the very few state roads
desiring to have such a hearing.
The Sumpter Valley serves the fol
lowing towns in Oregon: Baker,
Thompson, McEwen, Sumpter, Whitney,
Tipton, Austin, Dixie and Frairi-s City.
The terminals of the road are Baker
and Prairie City, and the road oper
ates for a distance of SO miles.
Increases In commodity rates include
a 13 per cent rise on asbestos, hay
(baled), lime, plaster, stucco, cement,
livestock, rails, sand and gravel, sugar.
wool, potatoes and locomotives. Com
modities coming under the distance
rate increase include logging outfits
and livestock.
