SMALL U.S. ARMY.
DIVISION IS PLAN
OF GEN. PERSHING
American Field Commander
Makes Recommendations
After Close Study
By Associate 3 Press
Washington, Aug. 9.—Reduction of
the strength of American army divi
sions to the Europeon standard of
19,000 men and revival of the old
army corps major tactical unit was
recommended. It was learned to-day,
by Major General Pershing, after a
careful study of conditions at the
front. American officers are convinced
that sound military reasons Induced
the French and British war oftlces
to adopt this tactical formation for
trench warfare.
Reduction of the divisions means a
big Job for the War Department.
Much administrative work already
completed probably will have to be
thrown aside and done over. General
Pershing's recommendations are posi
tive, however, and the department's
attitude is the same as It was toward
General Funston during the Mexican
trouble. The wishes of the men on
the ground, on whom rests the re
sponsibility for actual operations,
will be met as far as is practicable.
One effect of the reduction of both
brigades, and divisions will be to cre
ate many additional vacancies in the
grades of major and brigadier gen
eral. It has been found abroad that
the 19,000-men division in trench war
fare is about the maximum that can
be handled by one headquarters.
Trench fighting is, in reality, siege
warfare on a huge scale.
Operations, require detailed orders
and the co-ordination of large bodies
or troops and of artillery on a scale
never dreamed of in previous wars.
All this adds to the task of the corps,
division and brigade commanders,
each one of whom is conducting a
battle of his own on his immediate
front.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
SUNDAY FISHING
TO BE CHECKED
Dr. Kalbfus Gives Plain No
tice to People Down the
Susquehanna River
Notice that the State Game Com
mission proposes to vigorously en
force the law forbidding fishing on
Sunday under the acts of 1915 and
1917, is contained in a letter issuod
by Dr. Joseph Kalbfus, secretary of
the State Game Commission, to peo
ple living along the lower Susque
hanna river. For Some time past
there has been Sunday fishing re
ported between Harrlsburg and the
Maryland line and recently an arrest
was made at Goldsboro when the
game officers were considerably
abused.
Dr. Kalbfus In his letter, which
has a fcjtate-wlde application, says:
"I write you to-day in a matter
that may be of interest to some of
your readers, and refer to the dis
position of some of our people to
do as they please, regardless of the
provisions of law, especially in the
matter of hunting or fishing on the
first day of the week, commonly
called Sunday, contrary to the pro
visions of law.
"The first section of the game law
of 1909, provides: "There shall be
no hunting or shooting or chasing
of game upon the first day of the
week, commonly called Sunday.'
This same provision is found In the
new game law, Section 13.
"Section 2, of the act of May 1,
1909, P. Li. 353, known as the fish
law, controlling fishing within the
Internal waters of Pennsylvania,
among other things provides, 'that
no fishing of any kind, or with any
device shall be done by any person
or persons on tho first day of the
week, commonly called Sunday.'
"An attempt was made In our
Legislature during the session of
1915 to repeal Uils provision. The
bill passed both the Senate and
House, but was vetoed Governor
Brumbaugh, who, in his message re
lative to his veto, said he could not
endorse this idea, but served notice
then and there that any bill coming
to him during his term of office con
taining a like provision would re
ceive tho same treatment he was
according this bill in question. So,
this provision remains on our books,
and is the law of Pennsylvania after
careful consideration by our chief
executive.
"During the session of 1915, a bill
was passed making It the duty of
the officers of the Departments of
Forestry, of Fisheries and of the
Game Commission to help each
other in their work. This bill was
amended by the Legislature of 1917
in a manner that made the officers
of either of these departments, who
refuse or neglect after notice to en
force the laws relating to either of
the departments other than the one
to which he specially belonged, liable
to a cash penalty for the first and
second offenses and to dismissal
from State service for the third of
fense, so that to-day, under the law
of this State, game protectors have
no discretion as to whether they
will or will not enforce these pro
visions of the forestry or the fish
laws of this Commonwealth, or give
place to some one who will do this
duty, under his oath and the law.
That is all there Is to It, and so long
as that provision forbidding hunting
or fishing on the first day of the
week, commonly called Sunday, re
mains upon the statute books of
Pennsylvania, It Is the sworn duty
of those connected with the depart
ments named, to Insist that these
laws be obeyed. This new provision
has added several hundred helpers to
the limited force formerly at the
command of the Department of
Fisheries, and Insofar as the officers
of the Game Commission are con
cerned, they will try to perform their
duties fairly and reasonably and en
tirely without personal feeling or
animosity towards anyone. "We do not
want your money. We are not trying
to persecute any one, but we shall
try to do our duty fairly under the
provision of law, and in accordance
with the thought of our Governor,
and I do hope that those Disposed to
either violate this law themselves, or
those who may be disposed to aid
or abett those who may violate the
law, will refrain fin the future from
the use of epithets or threats, and
also from attempts to deceive and
mislead our officers, as was the case
at Goldsboro last Sunday, where
two of our officers attempted to en
force the fish law.
"The southern bank of the Sus
quehanna river, between Dauphin
and other counties on the river bor
der, is under the Jurisdiction of
Dauphin county. Offenders, when ar
rested, will be brought to Dauphin
county for trial. Section 24 of the
before-mentioned fish law, among
other things, provides that arrests
may be made without warrant when
offenders are caught in the act of
violating the fish law. Officers are
directed to arrest on Sunday, or on
a holiday, 'in which case the person
or perfcns arrested shall be taken
before the proper officer and pro
ceeded against on the first lawful
day following the arrest,' and such
person or persons so arrested on
Sunday may be Imprisoned until the
proper time for hering the cae. It
is not our desire to put anyone in
prison. Section 25 of the same act,
among other things, provides that
any person who shall by threat,
menace or force, or In any other
manner, attempt to deter or prevent
any fish warden, or any person au
thorized to make arrests for viola
tion of the fish laws, from enforcing
or carrying into effect any provision
of this act, or who shall resist ar
rest or the seizure of boats or nets
Illegally used, shall on conviction
thereof, as provided in Section 27 of
this act, be subject to a penalty of
one hundred dollars, or In default of
payment of such fine shall be com
mitted to the county jail for a period
of one hundred days.
"The violent and abusive language
used by certain Individuals, at
Goldsboro laat Sunday towards our
officers when they arrested a man
caught In the act of fishln* on Sun
day, together with other words used
to Intimidate or prevent these of
ficers from doing their duty, in our
opinion, came perilously near a
violation of the provisions of this
Section 25, just quoted, and if in
dulged in again or repeated, will
surely result In the matter being
tried out."

tilled spirits for beverage purposes;
and the President will be empower
ed to commandeer for military pur

AMERICAN ARMY GETS
READY FOR TRENCHES
[Continued From First Page.]
quickly and as thoroughly as pos
sible so that when called upon to
act as instructors to succeeding units
as they arrive they will be found
eminently qualified. A great deal
of this earnestness and this will to do
is largely the result of the en
thusiasm of the young officers who
but recently joined the colors and
have taken up the business of war
with a courage and determination
that means volumes to the future of
their country.
Under the best circumstances the
training of soldiers in the ever
changing methods of modern war
is a labor requiring months of pa
tient, painstaking effort. A thousand
of the most valiant and valuable men
in the British army, for instance, did
not put a foot in France until after
they had had a whole year of train
ing at home.
On the other hand, Germany called
up boys of 17 years at the beginning
of last September and sent many
of them into the trenches after only
six weeks of infantry training, chiefly
in marching and close order drill.
This was possible because these boys
were merely distributed among old,
seasoned troops—stop-gaps In th&
ranks of decimated divisions.
Six months is nearer the ideal
training period, but this rule applies
to armies which have been fighting
three years and have all the ma
chinery established through which
the men are passed smoothly and
unendingly toward the front.
It is not known how much longer
tho French instructional division will
remain with the Americans. The lat-

ter are proving: so apt and the train
ing camps v aro so well established
that undoubtedly It will be only a
comparatively short time when but a
few picked French officers and non
commissioned officers will be re
tained to assist In the training.
Morale Is Factor
Students of the war, which has
now entered Its fourth year, are con
vinced that th 6 morale of the troops
and the morale of the nations of the
entente will prove to be the final fac
tor in deciding the titanic struggle.
The morale of the American soldiers
In France can easily be estimated by
the avidity with which they take up
the training In offensive tactics as
? igainst defensive work. The latter
s very essential naturally, but it is (
a phase of training likely to prove a !
but Irksome to troops imbued with
the offensive spirit, as are the Ameri
cans. They are frankly sincerely i
anxious, most of them, for their turn i
in the trenches to come, even if at!
first It Is only a temporary" sojourn !
at the front for training purposes. !
Anxious for Battle
The men are anxious for a glimpse
of war and there is no doubt that
(after they get it it will add infinite !
izest td their future training and to |
their ability to train future divisions.
The men still are far enough from
the line to hear or see little that has
to do with real fighting. Some en
thusiasts at the camps have asserted
that they could hear the drumming
of the big guns at the front, but
there is little doubt that imagination
had something to do with tho acute
ness of their ears. A brief tour of
duty in the trenches will explain
much to them, however, and it will
make them appreciate to tho full the
great deal of training which they
now do not wholly understand.
