Suggested Change in Officer Insignia Rank
A major in a U S Engineer unit in France proposes redefining insignia for commissioned officers from second lieutenant to colonel to reduce confusion with allied soldiers. He suggests replacing the single second lieutenant gold bar with a silver bar and using a uniform system: one braid for second lieutenant two for first lieutenant three for captain four for major five for lieutenant colonel six for colonel, plus other symbolic devices to distinguish ranks. He argues the current gold and silver lorings and chevrons cause misidentification and recalls the 1847 U S Army insignia system.

Silence Order Demands Secrecy From Army Officers and Men
Washington issues drastic directives prohibiting officers and soldiers from sharing any information on inland or overseas moves of organizations or individuals. Violations risk disciplinary actions including marking baggage or cars to show overseas destinations and departure details. Officers must not divulge times or places of departure, even to relatives, and after arrival in France or England only approved names and routes may be discussed to avoid aiding an enemy.
