of creating a new body, liut tlie Presi
dent believes a separate com mission
should be established.
Mr. Kitehin said after his confer
ence with the President to-day that he
did not know whether lie would op
pose the plan. He added he thought
a majority of the Ways and -Means
Committee were in favor of it.
Nonpartisan Commission
The President's plan is said to be
for a nonpartisan commission for the
purpose of collecting facts for Con
gress. While officials would not sa>
to-day that his decision to support a
'ariff commission bill meant he
thought there should be changes In
some of the tariff schedules, it was
Indicated lie believed some such
changes might be necessary after the
war.
A formal announcement of the
President's view is expected within
a short time. White House otticials
said the President had reached a de
cision and that his attitude will be
announced soon.
Some time ago the President was
said to reel the powers of a tariff com
mission already existed in the trade
commission but he has now changed
that view.

Montenegrins Falling Back
The remnants of Montenegro's
troops, driven from their own land,
are falling back through Albania,
lighting us they go. Apparently the
main Montenegrin army as an organ
ized unit has ceased to exist, for the
cable reports speak of the present
hostilities as guerilla warfare. It Is
beir r waged In the mountains by de
tacluucnts of poorly equipped troops,
harassed by Austrian aeroplanes
which are attacking the Montenegrins
with machine guns.
New Turk Chief
The report comes from Constan
tinople that the famous German Held
marshal. Baron Von Der Goltz, has
been appointed commander-in-chief
of the Turkish forces In the Caucasus.
The field marshal, who was sent from
Germany several years ago to re
| organize the Turkish army, is one of
the most redoubtable of Turkey's
j military leaders, and his appointment
i doubtless is occasioned by the suc
| cesses of the Russians in that theater.
I The Held marshal will be opposed by
! Grand Duke Nicholas, who. with a
1 reinforced army has won recently a
! -series of victories which have brought
| Erzerum within the range of his guns.
Fighting in Belgium
| After a long period of comparative
inactivity in Belgium heavy fighting
; has broken out with the initiative in
the hands of the Germans. The French
! official report of to-day states that
I after a heavy bombardment the Ger
: mans launched an attack with in
j t'antry over a front of 1500 yards
| near Nieuport. At some places they
j succeeded In occupying French posi
! Hons of the first line, but, Paris re
ports were expelled subsequently from
most of this territory.
The German war office announces
tiie destruction by artillery tire of the
cathedral at Nieuport. The reason
assigned for this act is that the
cathedral was being used as an obser
vation post. It was built ir. the Fif
teenth century.
An official British statement says
! bombs were dropped by two aero
i planes this morning on the French
r city of Dunkirk on the straits of
; Dover. Later a German seaplune was
i forced to the water near Nieuport by
| a British machine.

By Associated I'ress
London. Jan. 25.—Difficulties experi

Discuss Rearrangement
of British Shipping
By Associated I'ress
London. Jan. 25.—For the past few
| days Walter Kuneiman. president of
jthe Board of Trade, has been holding
| conferences with representatives of the
various business interests which would
i be affected by the proposed embargo,
j the purpose of the conferences being
! to evolve means of a practical char
j acter. at the same time minimizing as
, far as possible all damage to legiti-
I mate trade.
It is stated that there is need of
• much extra shipping to supply the
| allies at Saloniki and in other fields
j and that this necessitates immediate
i rearrangements of British shipping in
other parts of the world. The es-
I tablishment of an embargo on imports,
j it is pointed out. would consequently

I thrift as by genuine military needs.
Seeks to Abolish All
Red Tape in War Office
By Associated Press
Paris. Jan. 25.—General Gallieni,
1 the French minister of war, in pur
] suance of his policy of decentralizing
; and modernizing the methods of the
: war office administration, has issued a
■ series of instructions which are re
| garded in bureaucratic circles as al-
I most revolutionary.
The general points out that the war
department receives daily an average
of 10,000 documents, which have to
be passed upon.
As a first step General Gallieni
makes a clean sweep of the part of the
red tape which consists in the obli
gation of excessive letter writing and
exaggerated formalities. He insists on
the adoption throughout the army of
methods similar to those in use in
I large business concerns,
j General Gallieni has announced his
I intention, wherever it may seem de-
I sirable, to request parliament to repeal
I or amend these laws.

Nancy Is Bombarded by
Heavy Long Range Guns
Paris, Jan. 24.-—The city of Nancy
was again bombarded this morning by
long range German guns and this aft
ernoon a number of bombs were drop
ped from German aeroplanes. The
f damages from the bombardment were
inconsiderable and only two persons
were wounded, while the aeroplane
attack is reported to have been with
out result.
It was announced from Paris on
January 8 that during the three pre
ceding days six persons had been
killed and ten wounded in Nancy as
the result of a bombardment of the
city by German 15-inch guns. Alarm
ing rumors having circulated as to
havoc caused by the bombardment
and consequent panic among the in
habitants, the prefect of the depart
ment in which Nancy is situated issued
a circular discrediting the rumors. On
the day mentioned President Poin
care went to Nancy and passed the
entire day there. As a precautionary
measure the art works in the galleries
of the city were removed to Troies.
Safe conducts were issued to 30,000
persons to leave the city on the occa
sion of the three days' bombardment.

seen stopped in front of the Sliimmell
building; Thursday morning, several
hours after the fire at that building,
auto tracks were found In the mud at
the south side of the building, and the
trail turned into the passageway at the
rear of the building where the iire was
discovered.
At 9 o'clock Wednesday night a
man wearing a long black overcoat
and a soft hat was sighted at the cor
ner of Fifteenth and Mayflower streets,
at the rear of the Vernon building.
Less than an hour later other persons
saw two men at the rear of the build
ing.
A few minutes after 2 o'clock Thurs
day morning fire was discovered in the
Sliimmell building and the fire alarm
was sounded. Apparatus crossing Sev
enteenth street between Market and
Derry streets awakened a number of
residents in the neighborhood. They
peered through front windows in an
effort to learn the location of the
blaze. "While thus engaged several
persons saw an automobile creeping
cautiously across Fifteenth street north
of Vernon and almost stop. The lights
were reflected on the building of the
Oliver Chilled Plow Works and could
be seen on that structure for fully
three minutes. When the automobile,
a Ford car. reached Mayflower street
it started across that thoroughfare
toward Seventeenth, barely moving,
but when Seventeenth street was
reached the automobile appeared to
run at its highest speed in the direc
tion of Market street.
Ten minutes after the machine left
the building two women who were
working at a nearby bakery and were
en route home ran toward the school
screaming fire. The interior of the
structure was a mass of flames. The
supposition is that the slow running
automobile picked up the person or
persons who fired the Vernon building,
started across Seventeenth street to
Market, to Eighteenth, and then to
the Forney building.
Persons in the neighborhood of the
Vernon building can think of nothing
other than that Hie automobile was
used by the firebugs. They cannot un
derstand why an automobile would
hesitate in that vitinlty while a fire
was raging a few blocks away and that
after leaving the Vernon school the
machine should be run at. break-neck
speed In the opposite direction from
the Shimmell fire.
All efforts are now lx?ing made to
learn the identity of the driver of the
machine.
Children of the Vernon building will
return to their studies in the Shimmell
building Thursday morning at 9
o'clock, according to an announcement
made to-day at the School Board
offices. The work of remodeling some
of the large spare rooms in the Shim

iliat the children can be seated Thurs
day. Until to-day it. was believed the

sued by Chairman Perkins and the
Progressive national committee, it
was made plain that any reasonably

They insisted that they ment just
what they said and we will take the
statement at its face value. I think we
will be able to nominate a man who
will be satisfactory to all elements of
the party and that our candidate will
be elected.
"In regard to Justice Hughes no

Urges Uniform Laws
Chairman Hilles called attention to
the conflicting provisions of the direct
presidential primary laws adopted by
the different States and expressed the
opinion that it would result in much
uncertainty and confusion. There
| will be 985 delegates in the next Re-
I publican national convention and of
this number 603 or about 61 per cent,
will be chosen by direct primary. In
i 1912 about 25 per cent, of the dele
gates were elected by direct primary.
"There is an urgent need for uni
form presidential primaries in all the
States in my opinion," satd Chairman
Hilles.
"1 think a model should be pre
pared embodying the best features of
the various State laws and that the
primary shpuld be held in every State
on the same date. I think some action
on the subject will be taken by the
I next national convention."
Malic Preliminary l'lnns
Plans for the Republican national
convention to be held in Chicago at the
Coliseum, June 7, were approved yen-
terday by members of the subeommlt

conferences with Fred W. Upham,
chairman of the. local committee.
The subcommittee adjourned with
out discussing the selection of a tem
porary chairman for the convention,
although four names were mentioned
as possible candidates. They were
Eiihu Root, of New York; Senator
Borah, of Idaho; Governor McCall, of
Massachusetts, and Charles E. Os
borne. former governor of Michigan.
It is believed that the selection of the
temporary 'chairman may be deferred
las a matter of political expediency un
til April or May, although the sub
committee adjourned to meet again in
[Chicago, March 15, when the subject
j may be taken up.
Republican national leaders who at
tended the meeting expressed the opin

minded and deliberative on the matter
of naming a candidate for president.
They indicated that they would favor
