CO-ORDINATION SOUGHT
Would Create Body of Five
Members, Including Baker
and Daniels
WASHINGTON, Jan. IS.
Legislation to create radical changed
In the Government's war machinery, In
cluding an American war council similar
to those of England and franco and a
director of munitions la being framed
by the Senate Military Committee.
Two Mils ono proposing the war
council of five members. Including the
Secretaries of War and N'ay nnd three
rlrl'ilani appointed by tlio President, and
a second to centrallzo munition control
In a director of munitions wcro pre
pared yesterday by a subcommittee con
tlstlng of Chairman Chamberlain and
Senators Hitchcock and Wadswortli. It
H planned to present the munition di
rector measure to the full committee to
day and Immediately to Introduce It In
the Senate for early consideration, with
the other bill to follow soon after
Chairman Chamberlain announced last
night that the committee virtually had
agreed upon the two bills. In lieu of his
measure for a separato department of
munitions with a new Cabinet member.
The attitude of tho Administration to
ward them has not been disclosed. I'resl-
nent wiison aim secretary Baker op
posed the original Chamberlain bill.
Tho plan of tho commltteo for the I
war council Is to have It under tho
President, but wholly Independent it tho
Cabinet. "It woul dslt with and advise
the President In forming broad war poli
cies, similar to the Bvltlsh War Cabinet
nnd tho French War Ministry," said
chairman Chamberlain, "it would clo
co-ordination now lacking In central di
tectton of all the CIocrnment's war
operations."
Tho bill to establish a director of mu
nitions Is modeled after the British law.
The committee proposes that tho direc
tor should bo subordinate only to the
War Council and the President, and not
the Cabinet, taking over many supply
functions of the war, navy, shipbuilding
and other branches. The director would
hae control of all war supplies, tholr
production, purchase, transportation mid
distribution.
The title of "director of munitions"
was definitely decided upon by the com
mittee nnd written Into the redrafted
bill by the subcommittee, which rejected
proposals to call the head of the new
agency the "director of war Industries."
Virtually tho only important point In
the legislation left undetermined is tho
membership of the war council. Sena
tor Chamberlain said tho plan for flo
members, Including the War and N'avy
Department heads, probably would bo
adopted, but other committee members
favor having only three civilian mem
bers nnd excluding tho two Cabinet
officers.
CHICAGO PRIEST IN
JERUSALEM VANGUARD
As Chaplain in the British
Army He Was Present
When Holy City Fell
American Catholics generallj-, and
those of Chicago especially, are Jubilant
that a Catholic priest who was raised
In Chicago was In tho vanguard of the
twentieth centur crusado which re
sulted In the rceocy to Christianity
of Jerusalem, the Holy Cltj', from the
barbarians.
Tho Rev. William Raphael Ludford,
raised and educated In Chicago, was
a chaplain In tho British army under
Oeneral Allenby which wrested the
shrine of Christendom from Its German
and Turkish defenders, not until after
the sacred relics Christians venerate had
been defiled, and profaned, but still pos
session has been secured; nnd while
many of the mementoes of the Passion
and Crucifixion of Christ will grace
Turkish harems In Asia and German
castles on the Rhine, Jerusalem Is now
in Christian hands and will undoubtedly
so remain for all time. Even if Ger
many should ultimately win the war, it
Is not considered likely that the Ger
mans, as putative Christians, would dnre
to demand the recession of Jerusalem
to Turkish control.
Father Ludford's parents and sister

he has been a chaplain in the British

forces In Egypt. Last spring he w'as
sent on n. special mission to China and

FRANCIS LEDWIDGE, POET
OF WAR, DIED IN ACTION
If It bo true that those whom the geds
love die j'oung, how lavishly thr
divinities are bestowing their affections 1
Without Ironj-, however, the world bo
lleves that j-oung poets who are killed
In war aro the darlings pf the gods. It
believes that a certain immortality
awaits those who sing sweetly nnd die
nobly before their prime. During the
last three j'ears It has taken signal jiain3
to do homage to four soldier poets In
particular, not to mention others less
gifted or less well known Rupert
Brooke, Charles Sorlej-, Alan Seeger.
and last, but not least, the peasant
poet of Ireland, her j-oungest sou of
light, Francis Ledwldge, who was killed
in action In Flanders on July 31, 1917.
Lord Dunsanj-, poet and patron of
poets, discovered Ledwldge In June, 1912.
He advised him, and sponsored his first
volumo, "Songs of the Fields," which
appeared In 1916, christening as well as
sponsoring his second volume, "Songs
of Peace," of 1917. Ho was strictly
Lance Corporal Ledwldge's "Captain,"
In the Fifth Battalion of the Royni In
lilskilling Fusllliers. In not Immoderate
Introductions of sincere praise Lord
Dunsany spoke of his protege's qualities,
hailing him as "the poet of the black
bird." a highly appropriate epithet:
commenting on his "eisy fluency of
shapely lines"; predicting that readers
will turn to him as to a mirror reflecting
beautiful fields. aB to a still lake, rather,
on a cloudless evening; and rejoicing
that Meath and the Boyne and Ireland
at large had the peasant poet for whom
he had long been looking, for almost
only among the peasants was there "In
dally use a diction worthy of poetry,
as .well as an Imagination capable of
dealing with the great and simple
things that are a poet's wares. Their
thoughts aro In the springtime, and all
their metaphors fresh." Lewis Chase In

then, being a builder nnd contractor by

of appointees which suited himself. The
Councllmen stood up and howled with
rage. Mayor Lar.ge smiled phlegmat

"We asked him ocr nnd over to give
us only two appointments," said "Char

men, yesterday, "but all ho would say
was, 'To the wlctors pelong dcr spoils '
And ho calls that 'serving the public' !"
Tho Irate Councllmen retaliated toy
rafuslng to ratify any of tho Mayor's
appointments at tho meeting on January
I. Things dragged along In Audubon
for two weeks, with no ono at nil In the
town ofllccs. Accordingly, when tho
regular monthly meeting of the Mayor
and Councllmen was held In tho fire
house last Tuesday tho whole town,
agog with excitement, was on hand to
see what might happen.

The curtain went up and "Jack" Ben

To Have More Coal
More Miners Needed
Production of anthracite must be further increased.
Last year shipments exceeded 77,000,000 tons nearly
ten million tons more than ever before. The industry
did its part well, but the high record output has
proved insufficient to meet enormously enlarged war
made demands.
More labor is essential now. The industry is short
hnnJed. It has only 152,000 mine workers, as against
177.000 in 1916. Highest wage scales ever known in
thp hard coal regions are being paid. At least 25,000
additional men can have continuous iull-time work
under most favorable conditions.
The mining operations are developed sufficiently to
enable an immediate increase in production could the
necessary labor be had.
The anthracite operators realize that abnormal weather
and railroad congestion have curtailed the present supply,
but are ,keenly alive to meet the new, enlarged and
imperative demands for coal. They ork now to
s"nnly consumers for all essential requirements. At
the same time, looking to the future, they aim through
larger production to meet the changed conditions.
the coal supply is to be increased every citizen should
lend his support to the thought that the labor force in
Pennsylvania's anthracite region be maintained and
increased.
