THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1918. DEMOBILIZATION ARMY IS CONSIDERED War Department Reorganiza tion Plans Incomplete. FUTURE NEEDS UNKNOWN What Size Army Will Be W hen Peace Is Actually Declared Is Ques tion Xot Worked Out. WASHINGTON", Nov. 13. Plans for reorganization of the "War Department and the Army are in formulation by the general staff and soon will be before Secretary Baker. Orders for the actual breaking up of the Army cannot be pro mulgated until these plans are com pleted, as the demobilization pro gramme is dependent to some extent upon the adoption of a reorganization policy. The Secretary had indicated new leg islation will be necessary to carry out the reorganization and is. expected to lay a definite programme before Con gress at the earliest possible moment. Existing law authorizes the mainte nance of a regular Army of approxi mately 375,000 men. "While it is not possible to forecast the number of American troops that must be em ployed in Europe after the peace treaties have been signed military men believe the authorized regular esta lishment cannot provide an adequate force for all purposes at home and abroad. Of the 3,700,000 men under arms, not more than 100,000 are under obligation to serve beyond the restoration of peace. There were 7000 officers and about 120,000 men in the regular Army when war was declared. Expiration ol enlistments probably has served to re duce this considerably and all war time enlistments are for the war period only. Thousands of officers in service a re on temporary commissions in the regular establishment. The commis sions were issued for a definite period of years and the men might be held, although the general attitude of the department would not indicate any in tention of holding such officers against their will when the war emergency has passed. The number of men necessary to be maintained in Europe probably will be worked out by General Pershing's staff, and since similar calculations for the United States and its possession are be ing made here it is expected that the eire of the Army for which it will be necessary to provide soon will be reached.

When listless, pale, feverish, full of cold, breath - bad. throat sore, doesn't eat, sleeep or act naturally, has stomach-ache, diarrhoea, remember a gentle liver and bowel cleansing should al ways be the hrst treatment given. Nothing equals "California Syrup of Figs" for children's ills; give a tea spoonful, and in a few hours' all the foul waste, sour .bile and fermenting food which Is clogged in the bowels passes out of the system, and you have a well and playful child again. Ail chil dren love this harmless, delicious "fruit laxative," and it never fails to effect a good "inside" cleansing. Directions for babies, children of all ages and grown ups are plainly on the bottle. Keep it handy in your borne. A little given today saves a sick child tomor row, but get the genuine.

Coke's lead over Olson on the face of these returns is 157S. The incomplete returns from Grant County so far as reported give Camp bell 1? and Coke 24. It is expected that the completed count from this Eastern Oregon county will show that it has been carried by Bennett but should the country go for Coke, the ad vantage will not be sufficient to over come the lead Bennett now has. Severaldays will elapse before the official count can be completed by the Secretary of State and the result of Xhe content finally determined. Owing to considerable confusion resulting in this county from holdinir the general and municipal elections simultaneously, the official count for Multnomah will not be completed before the end of the week. DRAFT ORDER CALLED DFF 3IEV 3 7 TO 4 6 YEARS NOT TO FILIj OUT QUESTIONNAIRES. Registrants . Under New Order Are Required to Retnrn Blanks to Their Local Boards. Questionnaires now in the hands of men between the ages of 37 and 46 years do not have to be filled out, but must be returned to the local board which issued them, according to a tele gram received yesterday from Provost Marshal-General Crowdef by Captain Cullison, draft executive of Oregon. This is a cancellation of an order of November 12, which ordered that local boards would discontinue sending out more questionnaires to men between the ages of 37 and 46 years, but that all questionnaires now out must be re turned filled. Failure to comply with this last clause of the November 13 or der was classed as desertion. The order received yesterday after noon will affect several thousand Ore gon men in Portland. General Crowder has sent the follow ing order to draft boards: "The President directs registrants who on September 12, 1918, had at tained their thirty-seventh birthdays and who had received questionnaires need not fill them out, but they are requested to return the documents to their local boards. No charge of de linquency will be entered against any such registrants for failure to fill out questionnaires." WRONG AUTOMOBILE TAKEN J. G. Chat Held Slapped When He Gets Another's Car. J. G.

EXPERTS MAY BE CALLED President Is Considering Appoint ment of Commission to Develop Comprehensive Programme. WASHINGTON. Nov. 13. President Wilson has under consideration the appointment of a reconstruction com mission to develop a comprehensive programme for the Nation's conversion from a war to a peace basis. The commission would be advisory rather than executive in functions and the plans developed by it would be carried out by existing Government agencies. The President Is understood to op pose the plan of a Congressional com mittee preparing a reconstruction programme. He is said to prefer men who can give their entire time to the work and who have made special studies of economic and social prob lems. Measures to promote agricultural co operation between the United States, England, France, Italy and Belgium during peace reconstruction are under consideration by these nations. To work out effective plans an inter national congress of agricultural leaders including belligerent and neu tral nations, may be held with the peace conference. Railroad Wages to Continue. The Railroad Administration plans no reduction in railroad employes' wages under peace conditions, and likewise no material lowering of freight or pas senger rates, it was stated authorita tively today. Both are likely to re main at their present levels, although with many readjustments, during the period- of changing the - Nation from war to peace. Director-General McAdoo has de clared he would lower rates as soon as it was determined revenues would be sufficient to pay wage increases and the higher cost of materials, supplies and other transportation elements. Restrictions will be continued by the Government's capital issues committee on the floating of securities for build ing, road construction and development enterprises not absolutely essential, it was said officially today, despite the war industries board's partial removal of limitations on non-war construction and manufacturing. . Another Loan Necessary. In view of the necessity of obtaining another big war loan in the Spring, the Treasury holds that the securities mar ket still must be left open largely for Government securities. - Continuation of Government super vision of the steel industry during the period of readjustment to peace condi tions was recommended today by the steel committee of the American Iron and Steel Institute at its first meeting with the War Industries Board since the signing of the armistice. Regulations requiring householders and bakers to purchase 20 per cent ot substitutes with each purchase of wheat flour were withdrawn today by the Food Administration, effective Im mediately.

A1 N OHIO druggist writes to "The Practical Druggist," a prominent New York Drug .ounial, as formulas I have worked with are either ineffective or disagreeable to administer." To this "The Practical Druggist" replies : . "We do not supply formulas for proprietary articles. We couldn't if we wanted to. Your experience with imitative formulas is not surprising, but just what is to be expected. When Castoria is wanted, why not supply the genuine. If you make a substitute, it is not fair or right to label it Castoria. We can give you all sorts of laxative preparations for children, but not Qastoria, and we think a mother who asks for Castoria would not feel kindly toward you if you gave her your own product under such a name." No mother with a spark of affection for her child will overlook the signa ture of Chas. H. Fletcher when buying Castoria. -V; Xvt rnntpntt laTluid Praehrj , rniinl.-.l PER CtNT- Rcvst Carta : , i ncffittrOfrifliMarpiaj-:; iniineraL Not Narcotic a.taa'OaUtiioi- j; 05 o 1 and Fcverishncss mi Ihc-Slmile Sidnat?
