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!

were to be chosen for these places.'

of the new organization will be as
follows:

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.

present assistant chief clerk of the
War Department, In charge of all
repartmental routine, including the
supervision of the heavy increase in
the clerical force of the War De
partment and the Army.
Under the plan of reorganization
Mr. Crowell will take from Secre

himself to the study of problems of

it is hoped, apparently, to meet in

Pershing, After Inspection,
Finds American Army
Is Greatly Improved
With the American Army in
France, Feb. 25.—General Pershing
has returned to his desk at Great
Headquarters after his inspection
tour of the American frbnt. He
keeps in good health, which is re
markable, considering the tremen
dous amount of work he gets
through daily. From morning till
night numbers of officers arrive
from various division headquarters
with dispatches demanding his at
tention, and in addition to hundreds
of cables, telegrams and letters
which he has to read, he dictates and
signs replies.
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.

over the situation until river coal in
sufficient quantities is dug up from

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."

$2.20 Wheat Price Is
Fixed by the President;
Condemns Pleas For More
Washington, Feb. 25. 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.
