GREAT BARRIER STRETCHES OVER ENGLISIICIIANNEL Bar to Germans Holds Lower End of Vital Passageway Clear. -

, A BRITISH PORT ON SOUTHEAST COAST, June SO. (By JlaiU AcroM the eastern moutn oi tne i-ng-llsh channel there still stretche tne Great Barrier which is one of the principal defense Of the allies vital channel traffic against the visits of the German submarine. . The "barrage." tbey call the Barrier in naval phrase. It consists in general terms, of a series of "obstructions" stretched from huge steel buoys, shore .to ..short twenty odd miles. Any craft which strikes one of these obstructions straightaway , explodes a group of mines which spell finis to the intruder. ' k Fleet Patrols Barrier. A whole fleet of naval shipping is constantly engaged In maintaining and ;

patrolling the great barrier. - its existence Is no secret to the Germans for they are constantly sending overnight airplanes to chart the buoys and changes are constantly being made. , Here and there along the line are secret openings through which naval pilots may guide legitimate craft on ' their way. but these openings are fre- ' quently altered, and not even the alrplanic eye of the German can tell ' which buo marks safe passage and i which marks destruction. Wasps Take Chance. " "' If his mine laying submarines wish

r to enter the channel, they must take .' their ehances. They must cross sub merged, for' the patrol boats are on constant duty, and if they escape the traps while submerged, it can only be said that another miracle has hap pened. . 8uch ' miracles seldom happen. Sometimes twice a week, sometimes oftener, explosions are heard at night from, the great barrier. Indicating that

"something" has touched off a group of mines. Immediately, the patrols hurry off In the direction of the explosion. What they find there Is a well kept 'secret. - . ' Last week the Germans tried a new ; plan to break the: barrier. They sent ; over three seaplanes with orders to de- , scend low over the barrier, at any riak, and shoot their machine guns into the buoys, thus sinking them and the bartier with them. But the patrol boats ; were on hand, and two ot the three seaplanes never returned to their Ger- " man bom.

' The highest peak within the territory of the United States U Mt. Mc- . KJnley In Alaska, with 20,300 feet. The lowest state in the United States is Louisiana, with a maximum height of ' 400 feet. Indiana's highest point is at Carlos City in Randolph county, 1,210 feet.

Desperate attack by Germans to regain lost ground at Verdun front leaves lines unchanged. The Crown Prince's army made its first gigantic move against Avooourt Wood (1). In the Teutons' "win or die charge" on Hill 304 (2) and Le Mort Homme (3). the French won and took a horde ot prisoners. At Douamont (4) also, a tremendous charge by the Germans was repulsed; all four battles left the lately gained lines still in French hands.

Russia's Weakness Causes Wilson to Plan to Send Million Men; Teddy May Get Commission Now

WASHINGTON, July 25. Back of Ule request of Secretary McAdoo of Congresa for another $5,000,000,000. Ilea almost a complete reformation of America's military plans. Impressed with tne apparent unreliability of the Russian offensive the president and his military advisers are rapidly swinging around the original plans of. the army General Staff for an expeditionary force of - more than a million and a half men. ' - Increased to Million This will require that the new national army will be increased from the one-half million- originally planned to almost a million. Secondary to these general plans it developed today that a comprehensive learransement of America's armed forces for service on the west front is being worked out. In tbrj Jatter connection it was at first effected that this might provide a place for Theodore Roosevelt to gain bis coveted commission as Major General. May Divide GuardUnder the plan which has been recommended by General Pershing the divisions of the army as at present constituted would be cut in half and doubled in number. This means that the New York National Guard will be split in two divisions. The last remaining hope for Colonel Roosevelt to get his Major Generalship is to be placed in command of a second division of New York National

Governor Whitman offered the colonel such an appointment and he said he would accept it if the Federal authorities did not take him ' ': Not Till After Draft i It was learned today, however, that the reorganization of the national guard troops will not be effected until after they have all been drafted into the Federal army, August 5. Orders went to the various states today Instructing the state commanders that their troops would be taken over by the government in the tactical units now existing. - This means that Governor -Whitman will not have the opportunity to name the aolonel.

May Lose Jobs This will mean that many national guard generals, who have never commanded either a division or a brigade, may be retired. . In all of this reorganization shipping will be one of the great problems to be solved. It is believed that when McAdoo transmits his .. estimates to Congress all of these changes and increases in the program will be -drawn cut in detail. Another huge Item of expenditure in the army was made public today, when it was announced by the Secretary of War that eight regiments of regular cavalry immediately would be converted into field . artillery regiments. These are the new regiments numbered from 18th to 25th, Inclusive now being organized. They will retain their status as cavalry regiments and return to that arm after the conclusion of the present war.
