contemplated. 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. Two lists were given out.
The delay In*publishing the lists was
due to the government's policy of
first notifying the next of kin.
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. Kimble of the En
gineer Corps has died of wounds re
ceived in battle.

"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."
Read in THE LITERARY DIGEST this week —April 13th issue—a sweeping review of the
great struggle raging on the Western Front, showing it from every angle.
