DEPARTMENT OF WAR RESHAPED WHEN BILLS PASS Stettinus Likely to Be an As sistant Secretary and Make All Purchases Washington, Feb. 25.—The gen eral reorganization of the War De partment contemplated as a result of the disclosures before the Senate committee on military affairs is to be carried out partly when Congress passes the pending War Department bill providing for tlic appointment of two additional assistant secretaries of war. A more comprehensive' re organization must await Congres sional action on the Overman bill, now being considered by a Senate committee, which gives to the Pres ident authority to rearrange bu reaus and other branches of the military establishment. Secretary Baker gave an outline! Saturday of the division of depart-1 mental duties when the two addi-l tional assistant secretaries are pro vided, but he would not indicate who j were to be chosen for these places.' saying that the President and not] the Secretary of War would make the nominations. It is generally be-! lieved, however, that the personnel of the new organization will be as follows: Benedict Crowell, of Ohio, the present assistant secretary of war, administrative director of the War Department, who will relieve the Secretary of War of a large amount of his administrative duties and act as Secretary of War in the absence of Secretary Baker. Edward R. Stettinus, of New York, assistant secretary of war in charge of all industrial work and of purchasing for the Army. Raymond B. Fosdick, of New York, assistant secretary of war in charge of all nonmilitary work per taining to soldiers, such as training camp welfare work. John C.

The Commander-in-Chief is opti mistic in regard to the war and firm in his belief that it will end favor ably for the Allies. The American Army is making steady progress daily and by midsummer ought to be •n a position to give material aid to mir Allies. Shipment of men. sup plies and equipment shows an in crease and will Improve more rapid ly when the coal crisis in America ip over and ships can sail regularly without being subject to delay. The air service has not made the progress expected on account of de lay in carrying out contracts for construction of airplanes. The per sonnel could* not be better. By June it is expected the air service will be able to show satisfactory results. An American Air Service officer said yesterday that the delivery ot a number of French, British and Italian airplanes was expected soon. There are plenty of American filers here, but not one trained machine gun fighter. There are no Amer ican machines in the air at the front so far. Fliers have gone out over the German lines in French machines as observers.

PLAN SPECIAL ELECTION ON DRY AMENDMENT [Continued from First Page.] ington. Senator E. H. Vare is ill at the home of his brother and could pot be seen. Recently he took the stand .that the amendment was a matter for the local districts to meet. He urged his le&ders in this county to accept candidates regard less of their stand on the liquor ques tion if they were the choice of the people. "X am unalterably opposed to any plan to defer action on the prohi bition question until a special elec tion to be held in 1919," said Bishop Joseph F. Berry to-day. "The same proposition was made by the liquor people.in both New York and New Jersey and was promptly turned down by the temperance leaders. We would rather be defeated in a straight-out light this year and try it over again next time than accept any compromise with the whisky forces."

President Wilson issued a proclamation Satur day fixing the guaranteed minimum price for the 1918 wheat crop at $2.20, thus continuing the rate de termine.! upon by the Garfield com mission for the crop last year. At the same time the President served notice on Congress that he was un alterably opposed to bills which had been submitted to raise the minimum to $2.50 a bushel or more. TO increase the price of wheat above the present figure or to agitate such an increase, the President said, would have .the serious effect of dis locating wage levels and of causing the wheat to be withheld from the market, thus hampering the program lor feeding the nation and its Allies. 7 He called upon the farmers to co operate with the Government in the*' present crisis by making; the crop:* available at the earliest moment. The position taken by the Presi— I dent. It was felt generally, would I result in his exercising the power of j his veto if bills now pending in Con- ' gress for price increases were adopt- j ed. Senator Qore has submitted a,-| bill iixlng the minimum guarantee-J at $2.50 and Senator McCiunber, of I North Dakota, has a bill jumping tlioJ guarantee to $2.75 a bushel. • ■ ■ , ■ ■ ■ 11 gt h ■ i delicate, nervous, run-down people in ten days' time in many instances.
