THE DANGEROUS AIULBERRY.

Editor FL Paso Herald:
This is to voice the sentiment Of
myself and many others on the sub
ject OF mulberry trees in general
and those that adorn our public
parks in particular. Can a tree more
conducive to sickness and filth be
found than the mulberry? Consider
the unpleasant walking caused by
crushing the fallen berries under
foot as one passes through our other
wise beautiful parks.
The fruit that is not trodden upon IS
picked from dirty walks and ground
adjacent to the seats by hundreds Of
children daily. When it is known
that these places are contaminated
by people expectorating (many of
whom are Afflicted with dlsease) It
can be readily understood how untold
sickness and misery is caused by
eating the infected fruit of these
mulberry trees
Another danger Of less Importance
trees and throwing missiles in order
to obtain the berries. On one oc-
casion I was struck with q stone.
Others. no doubt, have met with a
similar accident while seated in or
passing through the parks
A suggestion is here offered for
consideration by our city council for
the elimination Of this deadly peril.
II is to cut down at least one
quarter OF the number OF mulberry
trees each year and to plant in their
places some other shade tree that
does not possess the disagreeable
features of q mulberry Thus In the
course of four years or less this men
ace to the public health and well
fare of our city will be overcome
without even feeling the change.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-There was

gossip for some time as "war coun-
Gil" It was TO do, according to prom
ises, for the loose organization Of sep
arate boards and administrators N
this country what the inter-Allied war
council is to do for the Allies. Like
Lloyd Georges organization, II turns
out to be a purely advisory body, and
like it, too, it proves to be large, with
the possibility of developing into de-
batting society.
This new body, which isn't officially
called a war council at all, but week
ly conference, to bring about closer CO
operation of the war-making activities
of the government" consists OF the
Council of National Defence, namely,
Secretaries Baker, Daniels, Lane, Hous-
ton, Secretary McAdoo, Chairman Hur-
tion, Secretary McAdoo Chairman Hur-

arm the supreme war council with
executive powers there will be re-
newed political struggle here, and
changes in the Cabinet are almost GER
tain to result.
Though Lloyu George scored per-
sonal triumph in his Parliamentary tilt
with Asquith, he gained it at the ex-
pense of the abandonment of several
important points set forth in his Paris
speech.
The Italians and Americans seem
agreed upon the necessity for full and
complete coordination of military ef-
fort, but in Britain there is powerful
faction united again against any policy
tending to weaken or hamper British
independence of action.
Lloyd Georges audacity and his i'm
agination appeal to the British public
As a political strategist he is a master
knowing when to withdraw as well as
advance. But he faces many enemies
who. divided, he need not fear, but who,
united. can block him. If, then. there
is another political crisis it will be a
fight to the finish and will not end in
compromise.
The Italian disaster and the Russian
collapse partly obliterated the wall sep
arating the moderates and the bitter
onders." but they failed to bring about
a complete agreement on the questions
of the essentials to victory and what
constitutes victory.
Meanwhile the confidence and deter
mination Of the people remain un-
changed.

Agreements Made
With Union Labor

Up to now the Administration has
had certain specific agreements with
union labor covering certain OF the
more important kinds of war work. In
the annual report of the American
Federation of Labor, made to the Buff
falo convention by the executive coun-
Gil. these agreements are printed.
There is one between Secretary
Baker and Samuel Gompers for the ap-
pointment of an adjustment commits
sion of three, one representing the
army. one the public, and one labor, to
control wages, hours and conditions OF
labor in the building oil the canton
ments. This commission was made up
of General Darlington, representing
the army; Walter Lippmann. represent
ing the public, and John X. Alpine,
representing union labor.
There is a similar but more detailed
agreement regarding wages, hours and
conditions of labor in shipbullding
plants, under which board consisting
of V. Everit Macy, l.. A. Coolidge and
A. J. Berres was appointed. This
board has district agents, called ex-
aminers, to ascertain Issues arising IN
various parts Of the country between
shipbuilders and their workmen.

New Organizations
Make New Problems

The situation here is this: Before
the war broke out the heads of the
executive departments all met as a
cabinet with the President at regular
and frequent intervals. The machinery
for governmental coordination existed
Since the war began new executive or
ganizations have been created, some OF
them more important than several of
the previously existing departments
headed by Cabinet officers. These are
the Shipping Board, the War Trade
Board, the War Industries Board, the
food administration and the fuel ad-
ministration.
The heads Of these new and power
ful executive branches did not sit IN
the Cabinet. Each one of them bore
about the same relation to the eX-
isting government system comet does
to the solar system when 1t floats
into it. They were in the govern
mental system, but not of it. No central
meeting ground existed. 1t was, so
far as the major war-making activities
were concerned, as it would be in time
of peace if no Cabinet existed and each
department head dealt only with Mr..
Wilson and with him directly.
