RUMOR HEARD IN WASHINGTON
Head of Commerce Department
Resents Criticism Following
Eastland Disaster.
Especial to The Times-pisnatch.

Especial to The Times -Dispatch.l
WASHINGTON. August 2s.-Reports
from apparently authoritative sources
that President Wilson is soon to lose
two Of his Cabinet members are being
given credence in certain quarters.
Secretary Garrison. IL is said. intends
to resign to run for Governor of New
Jersey. and Secretary of Commerce
Redfeld will get out Of the Cabinet
because Of the geat amount of criti-
cism he received result of the In
vestigation Of the Eastland disaster at
Chicago.
1t has not been possible to obtain
from Secretary Garrison an official
statement of his intentions Once be-
fore. however. when similar reports
were circulated the secretary inti-
mated that he intended to servo out
his full term.
In well-informed circles 1t is thought
that the resignation of Secretary Car
rison is less Of probability than that
Of Secretary Redheld.
The Secretary Of War, II is we'll
known. is we'll pleased with his post
ton and his work and. besides. Is ex-
tremely popular among the military
experts under him.
Furthermore. on account OF his vigor.
his tremendous capacity for work and
his ability. he has attained an enviable
position of prominence In the Cabi-
net.
NOW ENGAGED on MOST
IMPORTANT PIECE OF WORK
Just at this time also he is engaged
on the most important piece OF work
that his department has undertaken
since he became the Secretary Of
War-the preparation of an adequate
| military policy for the United States
This policy will be completed very
| soon, and will then be in condition for
submission to Congress for the purpose
of having It's provisions enacted into
law.
Those who know Secretary Garrison
| best are OF the opinion 1t would be
| unlike him to. give up his Office just
when his greatest task was half COM
pIeted, leaving 1t to the tender mercies
OF Congress-a stage In It's progress
whore 1t needs most the aid of It's
sponsor.
There is strong impression. how
ever. that Secretary Redfeld has not
found things as pleasant as ne would
like them since he went to Chicago and
took hand in the Eastlnnd investiga-
tion. 1t ia generally understood that
President Wilson personally suggested
to Mr.. Redfield that he return to Wash
ington and permit the authorities in
Chicago to attend to their duty.
At any rate. 1t Is known that the
criticism OF Secretary Redfleld on ac-
count OF his activities In Chicago was
dlstasteful to the administration

WASHINGTON. August 2s-Main
batteries OF American battleships here
after will be given an elevation of 30
degrees. virtually doubling the present
angle OF fire. according to a decision
reached by Navy Department experts
after close study. 1t is said, of all
available information on naval en-
gagements of the European war. The
effect Of the change will be to in
crease materially the range of the
navy's fourteeninch guns, and also
make gun fire more accurate in rough
weather The guns now have suf1
cient range TO reach anything within
the limit OF vision at sea. Tho added
elevation will enable them TO hurl
shells at objects far beyond the hor-
rison. or over hills OF considerable size.

LONDON, August 2S.-The Germanic
allies have not yet exhausted their ef.
forts to smash completely the Russian
army. While the Germans in the Baltic
provinces. under Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg have again become aggres-
sive, and are attempting to drive the
Russians back to Dvina, the Austro-
Hungarians. with the assistance Of the
Germans, have taken the offensive In
Southeastern Galicia, and, according to
Berlin and Vienna, have succeeded In
breaking through the Russian positions
on the Zlota-Lipa River. north and
south OF Brzezany.
Along the rest Of the front the Ger
mans claim to be gaining more ground,
but apparently they are as far as ever
from their main endeavor-the capture
or destruction OF the Russian armies.
The latter, although pressed hard at
many points. continue their orderly re-
treat. leaving little or nothing that
might be OF any use to the invader.
Some rear guards, which have been left
behind with machines to retard the Aus>
tro-German advance, have been over-
whelmed and captured. but the guns,
munitions and main forces invariably
have kept out OF reach of the relent-
less pursuers
Whether the Russians will be able to
make a stand in the new position which
they are said to have prepared. the next
fcw days should tell. There are reports
that reinforcements are being sent from
the edSt
fronts. but military writer's express the
opinion that so long as the Russian
armies remain intact, 1t would be dan
gcrous for the AuStrians and Germans
to detach troops for operations else
where.
