IN COMMISSION
WORKING SYSTEM
Consolidation Of Various Departments
Under One Head Will Simplify and
Tend to Greater Efficiency.

Some DAYS ago the Commission for
Relief In Belgium, II Broadway, New
YORK, announced radical change in
it's operating methods by abolishing
the traffic and marine departments
and consolidating them under n single
head as the Transportation Depart
ment On September / the commits
sion made announcement that another
consolidation had been effected, by
which the organization. publicity and
press. secretary to the executives. and
office manager would be abolished AS

ed in a single depar tment. to be
known as the Organization Depart
ment George w. Giddings who for
several months has been at the head
Of the organization department, will
be chief of the new department, hrs
appointment being effective from the
date named.
All files Of the commission will be
under the supervision OF Mr. Gid
dings. as will all the employees Of the
old departments, which have just been
abolished. This consolidation, 1t is
believed, will simplify and tend to
even greater efficiency in The COM
Missions operations.
Mr.. Giddings is well known as an
organizer. and has been employed by
some Of the biggest corporations in
the United States to do important
work in that line for them. He has
also been responsible for the efficiency

the national defenses that may be
prepared under the direction of Presi-
dent Wilson was made the subject Of
White House conference recently in
which the President and Bernard M.
Baruch. Of New York, took part. Mr..
Baruch suggested the appointment OF
a commission of business men to
mobilize" the business resources Of
the United States in such a way as to
make these forces effective in the
event OF war. He pointed out that in
preparing for war Germany organized
her business and industrial resources,
and that this work was placed on par
by Germany with the training OF
soldiers for service in the field and
the manufacture Of munitions to equip
her armies When the crisis came the
business and industrial units Of Ger

He strongly urged that the United
States should not overlook this phase
OF preparedness when the time comes
to lay down progressive policy In

Makes Strong impression.
1t Is understood that Mr.. Baruch's
argument along these lines made
strong impressions on the President
and that a business committee such
as was proposed may he made a part
OF the military program to be sub
mitted TO Congress at the forthcoming
session.
Oflcials of the war and nav. depart
ments were much interested in the
plan proposed by Mr.. Baruch. They
were not disposed to make public
comment on 1t in the absence OF a
statement on 1t from the White
House Publicly they endorsed the
plan as extremely practical and one
that would undoubtedly be embodied
In the program of preparedness now
being formulated by the President. IT

WINTER AUTO SERVICE
 FOR TOLOVANA CAMP.

Fairbanks: Determined to make the Chatanika route the most suit able for traffic to the Tolovana dis trict, N. G. Cox, the Chatanika hotel man has purchased the two narrow gauge cars which Bob Sheldon used on the trail last winter and will press them into service to the new camp. At the present time men are at work on the cars, making them into one six wheel car. The front wheels of one car are being removed so that the forward end of that auto may be at tached to the rear end of the other. In this way he will have a four-wheel drive, which will give the light ma chine exceptionally high power.
 Immediately after the freeze-up the car will be put into service from Chatanika to Brooks and MT. Cox says that the people will see ulti- mately that the road from the rail- road terminus is better than any other. He has been consistent booster for the Chatanika route and is determined not to quit until he makes others see "the light"

CABLES WERE BURNED
 IN GREAT JULY FIRE.

When the cable crew of the Burn side raised the old cable from the Valdez tidefiat over which the fire of July last had ragged it was found that the insulation had been burned off, and explained why the local office of the Signal Corps has been having difficulty in communicating with Cor dova and Seward.
 There are three cables over the tideflats fromthe Signal Corps office to deep water, one of which connects with Fort Liscum, another to Seat tie, and a third which branches to Cordova and Seward. The Fort Lis cum cable was entirely out of com mission and the others showed the ef- fects of the intense heat to which they had been subjected. The cables were not buried and as the tide was out when the fire occurred the insula- tion was destroyed, creating fault.
 Lieut.. Gregg of the Signal Corps, in charge of the cable work, expects to complete the repairs this evening.

GERMANY WANTED
 COPPER CARG0Es
Alleged German Officers Says He Planned to Bribe Captains of
 Vessels to go to Germany.

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-Lieut. Rob- ert Fay, the German army officer who has been arrested for conspiracy to violate the neutrality laws of the United States by wrecking intuition factories and dynamiting steamships carrying cargoes to the Allies, has confessed that he planned to bribe the captains of Russian ships to run their cargoes of copper to German ports instead of delivering it to Rus sia or England.
 His confession has served to draw attention to the fact that several ships of neutral nations carrying car goes for Russian ports during the earlier stages of the war were report ed captured by the Germans on the North sea even after the British fleet had cleared the German cruisers from the waters, and it is believed that the officers may have been bribed.
