American Military Hospital
Spends $400,500 a Year
in France
New York, Aug. 17. —The present
status of the American ambulance
hospital In Paris, which has been
taken over by the united States
Army and is to be known as the
American Military Hospital, is de
fined in a statement made public
here to-day by Mrs. Robert Bacon,
chairman of the American Commit
tee of the hospital.
For more than a year the ambu
lance and its auxiliaries have been
caring for an average of more than
1,200 patients daily, it was alleged,
and the annual budget is approxi
mately $400,000. Up to August 1 the
American Committee had sent $1 ,-
300,000 to the hospital and since the
transfer, $263,000 has been for
warded.
"The work will continue under
French military regulation and con

Ten-cent Sodas Sad
News For Small Boys
The high cost of living continues
to concern the housewife, but the lat
est development will be of special in
terest to the lad who has been ex
changing his hard-earned "jitney" for
an ice cream soda. Signs have been
posted practically all over the city
that hereafter this popular liquid de
light is to cost ten cents.
The increase in the retail cost of
cream and milk is said to be respon
sible. While manufacturers of Ice
cream have not advanced the price of
their product, another raise is ex
pected soon. Ice cream has been sell
ing in neighboring towns at thirty
cents per quart. The prevailing price
in this city is forty cents, and may
go higher.

Among the virtues of Lydla E.

the ability to correct sterility in the

Corporal Wllburn then joined In the
conversation, saying: "I took the
trouble to have a sample of the sal

that it ,s practically a reproduction
of many essential constituent ele

well-known medicated bathing springs

Fifty-fifth and Fifty-sixth Infantry.
Fifty-Third Depot Brigade and Fifty

National army troops from North

troops from New York state outside
of New York city, will form the Sev
enty-eighth division and will be com
manded by Major General Chase W.
Kennedy. They will train at
Wrightstown, N. J.
National army troops from South

Seventy-ninth division and will be

until recently chief ot the war col
lege. They v/ 111 train at Camp

All the divisions except those com
posed of the national guard of Penn
sylvania and the national guard of
New York will be commanded by
majors general of the regular army.
Most of the brigade commanders and
the chief of staff of each division are
also regular artry officers.
In this assignment of division com-'
manders the former army system
has been entirely obliterated. No
one major general is now of greatar
importance than another, and the
whole army will be commanded by
the genera! staff here in Washington.
General Leonard Wood has been
assigned to command the Eighty
ninth division of the national arpy
at Fort Riley, Kansas, which would
seem to sidetrack the ablest officer
in the United States Army as com
pletely as it could be done.
His division has yet to be drafted,
so that in actual importance as part
of the army General 'Wood stands
far below Major General Clement,
of the national guard of Pennsylva

his command, and who will prob
ably take tbat division to France in
the near future.

Army Completely Reorganized
Complete reorganization of all
branches of the American army to
conform with European standards,
as recommended by Major General
Pershing, is provided for in army I
orders revealing that the recently an-,
nounced divisional reorganization
plan is to be carried down into the
regiments and companies.
The administrative unit of the in
fantry arm hereafter will be a com
pany with 250 enlisted men and six
commissioned officers, In place of
something over 100 men and three
officers. The company will be divid
ed into four platoons, each in com
mand of a lieutenant.
There will be two captains as first
and second in command, one first
lieutenant and three second lieuten
ants. Reports of the review of Amer
ican troops in France yesterday show
that this plan already has been car
ried out in General Pershing's forces.
The object of assigning two cap
tains to each company, it is under
stood, is to provide against disor
ganization of the unit through the
loss of its commander. The second
captain, under the European system,
does not go into battle line with the
company if his senior is present. He
ia held as a reserve to reorganize his
company if necessary.
Under the new plan, each regiment
will have three battalions of four
companies, making a total of 1,000
men. Supplemented by the regiment
al headquarters, supply and machine
guns organizations,' the strength of
the new regiments will be brought
up to approximately 3,600 men, as
against little more than 2,000 in ex
isting war strength regiments.
The unit organization of the field
artillery and other arms of the serv
ice has not been changed. As a re
sult of reducing the number of regi
ments in a division, the division in
stead of 28,000 men, will total here
after about 19,000 men, 15,000 of
them infantry.
The advantages of the system, in
addition to the better adaptation of
the divisional unit to trench warfare,
lie chiefly in the reduction in over
head expenses. One colonel and his
regimental staff including his three
battalion commanders, will now han
dle 3/00 men instead of little more
than 2.500.
Believes Penbrook
Warehouse Fire of
Incendiary Origin
The fire which yesterday morning
destroyed a warehous of S. A. Fish
burn. of Penbrook, and also gutted
a row of dwellings owned by Oscar
Good, of Progress, adjoining the
warehouse, is V.elieved to have been
of incendiary origin.
Mr. Fishburn stated this morning
that ho had gone through the build
ing twenty minutes before the dis
covery of the fire and everything was
all right. At the time the alarm was
sent in by Thomas Speck, a 12-year
old none of the employes of the
mill or warehouse were about the
building.
As soon as the insurance adjusters
have completed their work the ruins
will be cleared ana work started on a
two-story fireproof brick and tile
structure to replace the one destroyed
yesterday. Mr. Fishburn estimates
his loss this morning at about SIO,OOO
not covered by Insurance. When the
new building Is completed it will con
tain a warehouse, mill and garage.
Mr. Good, it is understood, will re
build his row of houses. The loss
on these buildings Is about SB,OOO,
covered by insurance.

Platinum in Alaska
Stirs the Government
Washington, Aug. IT. Discovery
of platinum in Alaska by Dr. Herschel
C. Parker, of New York, and others
has aroused Government agencies to
the greatest activity in the hope of
finding sufficient quantities of preci
ous metal to meet the war needs of
the allies. Four Government experts
have been assigned to study the Alas
kan situation and report if the dis
coveries may replenish the platinum
supply cut off recently by the virtual
cessation of activities in the Ural
Mountain mines, the source of the
world's greatest supply.
Intensive operations would follow a
favorable report, for the true condi
tion, it Is declared, cannot he deter
mined before next year, by which
time the present short supply will be
very nearly exhausted.
