winter was in violent disagreement
with Secretary Garrison. He is an op-
ponent Of the general staff system, and
worked with Maj. Gen. Ainsworth. for
mer adjutant general of the army. to
upset its power in the army. Only a
few years ago he sought to cut off
five Of the fifteen regiments of cavalry.
For months he has hardly been on
friendly relations with the War De-
partment. Consequently, the War De-
partment has felt that the only hope
of securing Mr.. Hays support to the
new program lay through the White
House.
In view Of Mr.. Hays previous atti-
tude on army matters in the five years
that he has been chairman of the COM
mittee, it is considered here that 1t
will not be an altogether easy matter
for him to accept the administrator S
proposals. The situation is viewed
largely as one involving another test
of the Presidents influence with Con-
sress. such as developed in the tariff
and currency legislation.

TONED in Eastern France. and II 1t were
announced by the government that every
raid upon an open town in Britain would
automatically and remorseiessiy cause
three similar raids on German towns. We
should soon bring them to reason.
II can well imagine our airmen find
such work repugnant. but we must bear
in mind that women and children for a

that no other methods but reprisal offer
