One of these will be the selection of a man of broad ex ecutive experience to head the now organization. The names of several men of national reputation under consideration are being carefully guarded until a final decision is reached. | Congress will be asked for legis lation to allow a complete overhaul : ing of the Aircraft Organization, and [ the Signal Corps will be eliminated l'rom control over the aircraft work. William C. Potter, who has been placed in charge of operations under the new regime, is already in daily touch with all the factories which are producing Liberty Motors, and a genuine "speeding up" has actually been accomplished. In some respects the action to be taken is entirely in line with that recommended by the Senate Mili tary Affairs Committee. The prin cipal reccommendation of the Senate Committee was for a reorganization of the production machinery, but this step had already been definitely decided on before the report was, made. The Senate Committee nlso indicated that the taking of produc tion out of the hands of the Signal Corps was essential to the success of the aircraft program. The talents of Howard E. Coffin, chairman of the Aircraft Board, it is believed, will bo utilized In the new organization. 23 Americans Die of Wounds in Battle Washington, April 12. — Twenty three killed in action—the largest number yet reported in a single day —and 211 dead, wounded or missing were reported in yesterday's casualty lists made public by the War De partment.

Tt is indicated here that the grow ing daily lists are due to the facts that Americans are now participat ing in the Picardy fighting, while at the same time there is renewed ac tivity of the Germans against the sectors held by Pershing's men. Five American oUlcers are men tioned in to-day's lists. Lieut.-Col. Thomas J. Rogers of the Regular Army is reported slightly wounded. Major Edwin R.

"Come What May They Will Not Break Through" The present struggle on the Western Front is known to the German people as "The Kaiser's Battle." according to the Washington Herald, and for this reason the higher powers realize that "it would hardly do to allow the Kaiser's name to be associated with a colossal military failure—as it would be if the present struggle were allowed to rest where it now stands." And so German legions fight desperately 011 in the hope of winning a decision. That their hopes are futile is the firm convic tion of the Allied armies as evidenced by Premier Clemenceau's assertion that "come what may they will not break through," and the assurance of General Foch that "most glorious hopes are permis sible." To these assurances is added the statement of Lloyd George that "the French and British arc buoyed with the knowledge that the great Republic of the West will neglect no effort which can hasten its troops and its ships to Europe."
