Bat the German admiralty has large-

In view of the feverish activity of

If Germany is able to turn out large

ily, the task will prove anything but
an easy one.
The fact that the tonnage destroyed

‘the belief in allied countries that Ger-

tions For Hestilities Rushed.
many next week, President Wilson is-
sued his first public military orders
‘|“tor the defense of the nation.
He called. into the federal service
pational guardsmen in eastern sga-
board states, comprising approximate:
ly~32,000 men, for. lecal policing pur-
poses.
He reorganized the army depart-
ments and in a general shake-up of
seaboard commands transferred Gen-
. eral Leonard Wood, recognized as the
ablest’ ‘officer and taetician in the
army, from New York to Charleston,
S. C.
He increased the enlisted strength
of the navy to the legal maximum of
87,000. men and instructed Secretary
of the Navy Daniels to invoke emerg-
ency measures to recruit the 27,000
men the navy now lacks of war
strength.
In taking this last step the presi-
| dent recognized officially for the first
time the imminence of war.
He acted under the provision of the
navy laws that “the president is here-
by authorized, whenever in his judg-
ment sufficient national emergency
. exists, to increase the authorized en-
listed strength of the navy to be 87,-
000 men.”
Division of the United States into
six, instead of the existing four mili-
tary departments, was announced by
the war department. The two new
departments are the northeastern,
comprising the New England states
and the southeastern, comprising. the
states in the old south.
Major General Leonard Wood is
transferred from command of the de:
partment of the east to the new south-
eastern department; Major General
J. Franklin Bell from the western de-
partment to the eastern department;
Major General »Clarence R. Edwards
from the canal zone to the- mertliemst-

Under orders from General Leon-

They will be relieved later by the men
of the national guard. The marines
are guarding the Washington navy
yard, the Indian Head proving grounds
and powder plant and marine bar-
racks.
That a call for volunteers will be
urged by the president when congress
meets has not been definitely estab-
lished. It is known, however, that of-
ficials of the war department are pro-
ceeding on that assumption. Sugges-
tions were made, however, that much
would depend on the patriotic re-
sponse for enlistments to bring the
regular army and national guard up to
full fighting strength. If there is a
liberal response tothe celors in ad-
vance of a declaration by congress
that war with Germany exists, the
cell for a volunteer army may be de-
layed.

the lawless acts of Germany.
“In the course of the past ten days

‘of the solemn engagements of the

statement says, adding that protests

k GENERAL SURVEY OF
THE WAR
Although the German retreat in the
and the kaiser’s armies are resisting
violently at many points along its new
“Hindenburg line,” the allied armies
are making strong attacks. At La
Fere the French have taken two forts
of the new defense system. If La
Fere falls the whole “Hindenburg
ling” would be threatened.
The French operating northeast of
the St. Quentin canal have pushed
back the Germans between one and
one-quarter and two and one-half
miles, and also have gained additional
ground on the heights northeast of
Tergunier, overlooking the Oise valley,
according to the French official com-
munication. Two German sttacks near
THil, northwest of Rheims, were re-
| pulsed,

Consul Mahin at Amsterdam cabled
the state department that the Ameri-
can steamer Healdton, sunk by a sub-
marine off Terschelling, Holland, was
torpedoed without warning and that
twenty of the crew were drowned. The
consul’s dispatch follows:
_ “Standard 0il ship Healdton, from
Philadelphia for Rotterdam, cargo oil,
