War-Making Machines
nv DAVID NJ. CHURCH.

Most inoffensive and unwarlike Is
the war machine which supplies the
energy that makes the war move on
the fuel administration. Housed In
one of Washington's fashionable old
residences In the most exclusive sec
ton of the city, from the outside the
fuel administration appears entirely
unwarlike.
Within there are no evidences Of
war. with the exception that there are
always many people waiting to see
the fuel administrator, DR.. GARFIELD,
and to talk war with him.
Through the wheels OF this machine.
however, there is the daily grinding
which is turning out the fuel which
runs the factories, which in turn send
out the supplies. which again In turn
makes the war go on. IT operations
should suddenly cease In the unob-
trusive residential war machine at
| fuel administration headquarters, 1t
would not be long before the nations
war makers would have to stop their
operations.
| DR.. Harry A. Garfield. fuel admin
| istrator. erstwhile college professor,
has built a war machine which would
make fine nesting place for the
doves of peace. 1t Is the most restful
and peaceful OF the many war making
esta blishments in Washington. The
hustle and hustle of other depart
ments and bureaus is absolutely lack
| ing in the fuel administration.
! Perhaps 1t is the peaceful atmos-
, phere of Williams college that has
been transferred to Washington with
DR.. Garfield but at any rate he has
made noiseess war engine.
The fuel administration is the baby
member of the war family in WASH
ington. AS an organization ii Is also
the smallest of the war organizations.
Less than hundred people are en-
ploye1 by this important body, which
supplies the fuel for the nation.
This is virtually a one-man war
machine. DIR. Garfield has not been
surrounded with a large staff of ex-
perts. He has three assistants. all ex-
perts IN their own line. Outside of
these men the fuel administration is
operated by clerks who work at the
direction of DR.. Garfield and his as
sistants. The clerical staff is not large
There Is no publicity organization and
the machine does not require large
appropriation for its use,
1t is generally understood, however
that the hand at the lever OF this
machine Is the same hand that runs
the biggest war machine of all, the
White House hand.

JURY DISAGREES; HOWEVER,
MEXICAN SAYS GUILTY

Nebes Ewarro, Mexican, was in
Justice court before Judge A. M.
Brenaman last Saturday, charged
with stealing corn. The jury of five
men failed to agree, four holding out
for a verdict of guilty and one for
acquittal. When the jury finally
made it plain that they could not
agree the defendant was told Of the
standing of the jury and asked what
he wanted to do. The fine and costs
in the case were figured up to him
and he decided that he would enter a
plea of guilty and pay the fine, which
was fixed at 81 and the costs amount
ing to about $50.
Ewarro, so Jacob Weibert charged,
had been stealing corn. 1t was testi-
fed that the plaintiffs boy, after de-
tecting the loss of corn and suspic-
ioning Ewarro, went to the field with
a gun and laid in waiting. When,
