CHIEF OF STAFF ANNOUNCES
NEW FLAN FOR ORCANIZA-
TION OF SELECTIVE MEN.
The chief of staff with the approv
al of the Secretary of War, haa made
the following announcement:
The selected men that are now be
ing gathered into the 16 National
Army cantonments will be used to
form the first force of 500,000 ■ men
authorized in the act of Congress ap
proved May, 18, 1917, and to fill up
the National Guard divisions to prac
tically the maximum strength of the
new organization.
The balance of the 687,000 select
ed men will be used to supplement
the voluntary enlistments for the
special and technical troops that are
such an important part of the organ-
ization of a modem army. It is ex
pected that the voluntary enlistments
for the Regular Army will be enough
to keep that branch of the Nation’s
forces filled up to strength without
transferring men to it from this first
selection for the National Army.

The force of 500,000 men will be
organized into 16 whlteMivisions and
1 colored division. One white divis
ion will be organized at each af the
16 National Army cantonments, and
the units of the colored division will
be organized at the various canton
ments where the number of colored
troops is sufficient to organize a di
visional unit.
Instead of concentrating-all of the
colored men in the few cantonments
of the Southern States, the policy of
the War Department will be to dis
tribute them more or less evenly
hroughout all of the 16 National
Army cantonments.
In the Southern States whose quo
tas go to the cantonments at Colum
bia, S. C., Atlanta, Ga., and Little
Rock, Ark. (Camps Jackson, Gordon,
and Pike,) the number of white men
required to fill up the National Guard
divisions furnished by those same
states is so great,, and the proportion
of colored to white in the population
of those States is so great that it has
been found to be physically impossi
ble to organize three National Guard
and three National Army divisions at
full strength from the white quotas of
these states, and therefore the War
Department has decided to take all of
the white men from these states both
National Guard and National Army,
and organize them into four full-
strength divisions (three National
Guard and one National Army). This
National Army Division will be organs
ized at Camp Jackson from the men
left over at Camps Jackson, Qordon,
and Pike after the three National
Guard divisions (Thirtieth, Thirty-
first, and Thirty-ninth) have been fill-
ed-up to strength. At Camp Gordon,
after its white quota lias been trans
ferred to the National Guard and to
Camp Jackson, there will be organ
ized a National Army division made
up of surplus white men drawn from
Camps Devens, Upton, Dix, Meade,
and Lee; and at Camp Pike, after its
while quota has been transferred to
'the National Guard and Camp Jack-
son, there will be formed a National
Army division made up of surplus
white men drawn from Camps Sher
man, Custer, Grant, Taylor, Dodge,
Funston, and Travis,
The plan, though somewhat differ
ent from the one originally adopted
by the War Department of forming
b complete National Army ^ivifion
composed exclusively of men from
each of the 16 National Army areas,
is in full compliance with the spirit
of the law of May 18, because uhder
it each white National Army division
still represents a distinct geographi
cal area, the one at Camp Jackson
being made up entirely from the
White men of the extreme Southern
States, the one at Camp Gordon be
ing made up entirely from the sur
plus white men of the extreme East
ern States, and the one at Camp Pike
being made up entirely from - the
white men of the great Middle West
ern Section. On the other hand: the
colored division will be made up of
representatives from every part of
the Nation, and will be a truly na
tional division. (
Also pnder this plan it is possible
to fill each National Guard division
with men drawn from the same ge
ographical area from which the Na
tional Guard division is dra<m.
SMALL TOWN MERCHANTS
, WILL HAVE TO ADVERTISE
Many Dollars Can Be Kept at Home
By Local Advertising
Atlanta, Ga., Oct—That the so-
called “country” paper is exerting
great influence toward the upbuilding
of the trade of local merchants in its
town, and is accomplishing this re
sult through the simple medium of
advertising the merchandise of the
local merchant, is one of the signifi
cant signs of the times, both in busi
ness and in newspaper circles.
The merchant in the small town has
discovered that he must compete with
the merchant of the big city by adopt
ing the latter’s advertising methods,
and in order to reach his trade must
go into the advertising columns of
his local-paper. The big city mer
chant buys enormous quantities of
space in the city papers, and one or
more of these goes into the home of
the people in the country and in small
towns. The big city merchant makes
a special feature of his mail order
business. As a natural consequence,
an enormous volume of business,
the aggregate, flows from the coun
try and thesmall town into the coffers
of the big city merchant.
In order to meet and overcome this

Internal Revenue Commissioner
Roper, in a statement issued Friday
night defines the new war revenue

by the commissioner the government

the returns but will verify same whioh
must be made by those affected by the
law.
Persons failing to make returns,
Mr. Roper announced, will be re
garded as tax slackers' and penalties
will be enforced against them. As
outlined in the statement, the fol
lowing persons are affected and must
make returns to the government:

the advertising columns of his local

among shrewd women shoppers of
the cities that they can get the same
goods at a lower price from mer
chants in entail towns, and many of
them leave the city to do their trad
ing. They have discovered a fact
which the people of the small town
overlook, and it is,up to the small
