Under the new plan suggested. It Is un

rocKurs wi:u, lini:d
When the "rookies" left camp for their
week-end liberty they had well-lined pock
ets for the paymaster made the first of
his' monthly visits to the nrlous regiments
this week Thirty dollars seems a small
gum to pay on a month's bervlces. Some
of the men speak sarcistlcally about It;
others take It as n Joke. Those that used
to 'blow In" as inucli on ,an evening's en
tertainment will probably want to frame
Ihs bills as a souvenir of the hardest work
they ever did Thc class that take it the
hardest are the skilled mechanics car
penters, electricians and plumbers, who
see old trade fellows working on the can
tonment and making $50 and $00 a week
nd in somo cases much more.
But thc rookies nie going to learn a big
lesson in wli.it can be done on $30 a month
For whiles thc.r earning cnpaclty Is reduced,
the spending capacity Is reduced to an
absolute minimum Every rookie here Is
learning that ho is Just as happy without
t million and one things that used to drain
his weekly pavroll All the essentials of
living and tho essentials of recreation arc
supplied in the enmp. He has no food,
clothing or lodging to pay for. He can get
rood, clean amusements at thc Y. M C A.
The incidentals, smokes, candy and news
papers which ho buj at the regimental
exchange will average him about $4 a
month. So tho rookie still has about $20
a month clear. If he buys a Liberty Ilond
and allots $10 a month to that he styi has
$18 to "blow in" on himself."

Plan Reorganization, as Many
Efficient Men Are Needed Be
hind a Few Trench Fighters
WASHINGTON, Oct 13.
America's Nntlonnl Army will be an army
of specialists. Oclals of the War Depart
ment admitted this today as they nxw their
dreams of an Army of a half million Infan
trymen gradually fading
Tho United States Is gradually learning
that tho mnjor part of an army, under
present war conditions, Is not the front line
There nro ten men behind the lino for every
man In the trenches These nre the men
that keep the trench fighters In the trenches,
It Is understood that General Pershing
has strongly urged the Wnr Department to
make the National Army a specialized army.
With his forces already In Huropo ho lias
seen the need for trained men behind the
lines. Pershlnjr, has made constant do
mnnds for men who can do mechanical
work, men who can enro for stores nnd
other men In specialized lines of endeavor
Other pressuro has been brought to bear
upon the General Staff to use tho trained
energy of thc National Army In other lines
than actual fighting Members of tho Brit
ish mission to the I nlted States and other
foreign olllcers have counseled constantly
against too heavy fighting forces without a
sufficient supporting force
Within a few dnvs the vocational census
now being taken of thc National Army will
bo completed With this laid before the
General Staff there Villi lie planned a genet nl
reorganization. It is probnblo that somo
men vv I I even be taken from the military
forces and put nt work hi factories where
their skilled labor can do much In aiding
Government work. Thousands of others will
be allowed to uso their training In con
nection with tho keeping up of tho military
establishment.

THE social register is practically a list of Owen Magnetic owners.
They arc people of distinction men and women who are con
noisseurs. Thc Owen Magnetic means to these discriminating patrons thc
quintessence of motoring. It brings a delightfully different sensation
a relief from the tension of usual motor motion.
It means no more gear shifting, no more throwing on of clutch,
and no more clanking but a smooth, quiet, floating sensation quite
inconceivable until experienced.
No longer are there the pulsing, throbbing jerks common with ordi
nary cart,. For power of a thousand speeds is transmitted from the
engine to the wheels through an air cushion.
This is the simplified car, reducing to one magnetic unit all the old
complicated parts.
For town use, no gear shifting or
clutch throwing, quick getaway ,and
electric braking mean an appreciated
freedom. For cross-country touring
however bad the roads or grades it's
real sport at thc wheel one can't tire.
Tor the 'Elect
This Aristocrat of cars, like rare
jewels or paintings, does not come in
bulk. So only a fortunate few may be
accommodated from month to month.
Not until you actually "feel" this car
can you appreciate as do Philadel
phia's 400 owners this great triumph
of engineering.
As you sit next the driver, and note
the new simplicity, you can't resist
taking the wheel yourself. Then
comes, an unforgettable experience.
Upon appointment, an Owen Mag

on the most remarkable and enjoyable
ride you've ever had.

War Department Lays Plan
Mobilizing Full National
Army
' WASHINGTON', Oct 1J. Discussion l
uie nuvisahlllty of expediting the cat!
the second Increment of tha drnft m
Is in progress at tho War Department,
ii uiipntrn imciy mat me date may bo
iur uci-cinucr or January.
Moblllzat'on of the first Increment
687,000 men Is fnr enough arfvun..!
show clearly there will be a big deficlentr
for the seventeen National Army dlvlslm
More than 280,000 of the first Increment
still to be.nssembled, but It already Is .
dent that there will be available at ths atg
teen cantonments quarters for an addition
regiment nt each post and at some for a
full brigade of two regiments.
Tho strength of the new regimental -ganlzatlon
Is 3600 men. With a reglmeni'
lacking nt each cantonmont, this atom
would mean a shortage of nearly S0M
men. In addition, thero has been author
ized a separate division of negro trooD.
which means nearly 30.000 men withdrawn
from the original number assigned to the
sixteen cantonments.
The shortage Is due partly to- the neces.
slty of taking out of the Nntlonnl Army men
to fl.l up .Nntlonnl Guard divisions. Two
complete Nation il Army divisions of south,
em troops have been absorbed In this way,
Tho remnants of three other southern Kn
tlonal Army divisions will be consolidated
to form a slng'e divisional unit, nnd the
surplus men from other cimp will be seht
South to make up the missing divisions.
Dinfts oi thc Nntlonnl Army forces also
must be made tn fill up tho enlisted per
sonnel of the nvl tlon fervlce. the medical
corps nnd the service battailous needed
behind the fighting lines abroad. Eventually
there vl I be 250.000 men In the last-named
service alone, and nvlatlon and the medics)
service will take nearly as many more,
though not ill of them will be taken from
the National Army
Operating to delay the calling out of the
second Increment to make good these short
ages nre several factors. Clothing and equip
ment Is coming forward only at a rate that
can meet the demand of the forces alreidy
called, and the railways have been over
burdened with the Job of moving the army
