Depot Brigades at Army Camps to Be Abolished

WASHINGTON. Feb. 15 Fes to which ttcvtral national army cantonments including Curnp Dix, N. J.: (.'amp Loo. Va.; Camp Meiide, Mtl.. and Camp'McClellan, Ala., are nowput may be completely changed when they are vacated by troops now under training, as a result of Reneral sti:ff studies of the handling t f division.? scheduled for embarkation for Kurope and of the training of replacement troop.-. Fnder the plan which has nut with general approval among officers familiar with the problejn. the whole system of divisional depot brigades to handle replacement troops would he abandoned. Instead a ull division each of infantry and artillery, provisionally organized for training purposes, would be assembled at two cantonments and go forward from these two central depots. Similar replacement forces for all signal corps troops except the aviation service would be organized at another cantonment. A replacement cantonment for the engineers u now being constructed at I3elvoir. Va.. near the city. As to embarkation problems it has been decided that two additional embarkation camps must be provided. Camp L)ix and Lee mt.y be selected for this purpose. Fnder present embarkation arrangements, an outbreak of disease at the concentration camps to which troops .re sent before they go aboard ship might result in quarantine and a complete tie-up of the flow of men to France. With two additional camps available there would be little likelihood of such a difficulty. In addition, troops could be held longer at the embarkation camps and while ther old uniforms and equipment could be taken up and replaced by the outlits to be used n France, saving the i.ssue departments in Furope that work.

A MST KU DAM, Feb. I.". Pres't Wilson's latest address. Vienna newspapers believe, Is calmer in tone than his earlier declarations and perhaps may make possible the continuance the exchange of

views, but they think the contents!

of the speech hardly calculated to bring peace nearer. The Neue Freie Presse considers that Pres't Wilson made a mistake in extolling Count Cernin and insists that Count Czernin and ether ministers have always made clear

i that any attempt to interfere with

Austria - Hungary's international policy would be inadmissible. 'Pres't Wilson." it ssiys. "will possibly finally realize that any policy which seeks to provoke discontent between Austria-Hungary, and Germany is only a waste of time, especially where Count Czernin is concerned." Think Allies DKappointcd. The Neue Wiener Journal thinks that there will be some disappointment in LonJon. Paris and Rome that Pres't Wilson did not allow himself to be deterred from replying to Count von Hertling and Count Czernin by the decision of the Versailles council. It adds: "It is a great triumph for Czernin's policy that Pres't Wilson in full contradiction to the Versailles decisions, resumes a discussion of war aims, which the entente colleagues reject. This will strengthen the impression that Pres't Wilson is inclined to continue such discussions. It is also surprising that Pres't Wilson that he does not wish to interfere in Furopean affairs and is willing to learn about another way to peace." Calls .Address Calm. The Arbeiter Zeitung describes the address as being very calm and very objective. It says it is framed in very conciliatory language and thinks that it is an important step toward peace. The newspaper contends that it is now the turn of Count von Hertling and Count Czernin to speak again. The Keichspost ays that Pres't Wilson's principles have "one good quality, namely, that they can be applied to the entente powers." The more widely this is done, it allies be prepared to give his four principles an interpretation acceptable to the central powers.

i-'itiDA y. n:n. is. mis. Astrologers find the stars in kindly aspect today. Venus and the sun rule with benetic power, while Uranus changes from good to evil place. Theaters and places of amusement come under a most encouraging rule today. It should be favorable for the introduction of a new play or a new star. Actresses should make the most of this configuration, which presages for them favor with all who have power to help them toward success. It is a most auspicious rule for all who seek employment, especially in the artistic lines of work. Rulers, whether in civil or military life, should benefit greatly today from the friendly power of the sun. There is a very encouraging sway for politicians who ijeek recognition or preferment. Congress has a direction making for many exciting days in the next month. Clashes of opinion between legislators and army commanders appear to be indicated. Changes jn Important oflices in the government are . foreshadowed. Some of these may be caused by sudden deaths. Women as organizers will attain success from now on and a few will even gain commissions of recognition in the army and navy, it is prophesie d. There is a good augury for the wearing of silk and tine materials, which are supposed to have a special significance at this time. Occultists also see in the impulse that causes women to wear their hair over the ears a survival of some ancient war custom and they call attention to the fashion of Civil war days. - persons whose birthdate it is have a happy outlook for the year. Business and financial affairs should be satisfactory. The young will court and marry. Children born on this day will be active, strong and successful. These subjects of Aiiiarius are usually

! much loved. Girls are usuallv fa

vorites with the opposite sex and marry happily.
