Mexico's Army Reforms Turn Ragged Force Into Modern Unit
An American dispatch reports Mexico under President Calles has overhauled the army from a poorly equipped, unruly force into a well disciplined, uniformly armed body. Changes include modernization of uniforms and weapons, no more camp followers, centralized leadership, sanitary barracks, and constant troop movements to deter disloyal elements. General Martinez leads the Valley of Mexico division.

Wreck of Norman Fault Traced to District Officials
A War Department report on the June sinking of the steamer Norman in the Mississippi river fixes responsibility on nearly all district officials and employees connected with the boat and its operation. The investigation notes the vessel was inspected mainly for passenger safety on a special excursion and faults the district for inadequate supervisory service and crew restrictions. The findings point to systemic neglect rather than a single individual, with the chief of army engineers releasing the document.
