STACKER COMMISSIONS
HAVE STRUCK A SNAG
Check Put on Efforts of Men to Get
Commissions i'm Non-Combat-
ant Branches.

Washington, Dec. 3.-So-called
Stacker commissions" by which
men of draft age seek to escape
service in the ranks and get officers
places in non-combatant branches of
the army. have struck snag in two
general policies laid down by Secre-
tary Baker.
These are, first, that no men of
draft age be commissioned unless il
is shown clearly that they are better
fitted for the special work to which
they are called than any civilian be
yond the darft age whose service can
be secured; second, that no function
OF the army that can be carried on
efficiently with civilians shall be
placed on military footing by com
missioning the men needed to SUI
pervise the work.
The problem of commissions in
the various staff departments of the
army that have to do with the sup
ply lines, transportation, construc-
tiOn and hundred other non-com-
batant functions OF the service. is
difficult one. There have been num-
erous cases of young men of draft
age who have obtained commissions
in those services and therefore are
exempt from the operations of the
selective service law under which
the fighting forces are being mobi-
lized 1t is the desire of Secretary
Baker. apparently. to keep this ele-
ment OF the commissioned personnel
of the army at minimum in justice
to the great body of the drafted men
and to prevent any suggestion that
men of draft age have found shelter
in the commissioned grades of the
vice from the liability Of service a

GOVERNMENT MAY TAKE
OVER THE RAILROADS
This Move, However, Would Be At
tempted Only As a Last
Resort.

Washington, Dec. 3.-The rail
road problem was discussed at
length at Tuesdays cabinet meeting.
Afterward it was said that govern
ment operation of railroads during
the war will be attempted only II il
becomes certain the roads them
selves are unable to deal with diff
culties that confront thenc
The belief among administration
oihcials is that the pooling plan
should be given thorough trvout
and that if ii fails the government
then should take a hand. There is
no concealment, however. so long as
each road is compelled to concern
itself with its individual profits.
Since railroad congestion and coal
distribution are linked so closely
officials are watching a movement to-
ward the pooling OF coal shipments
in the middle west II the plan
works well it will be extended with
government encouragement to other
districts. Government requisition-
ing of coal and a general govern
ment coal pool are considered likely
next year. At present there is a dis
position to let contracts run out be-
fore a government pool is formed.

WHIPPLE OUSTED FROM
UNIVERSITY FACULTY
Virginia Board OF Visitors Takes
Action on His DisloyaI Speech
at Sweetbriar.

Charlottesville. Va. Dec. s.
Leonidas II. Whipple, adjunct pro-
lessor OF journalism at the Univer-
sity of Virginia, was dismissed from
the faculty by a unanimous vote of
the board of visitors for "unpatri-
cite and disloyal if not seditious ut-
terances.' made in an address at
Sweetbriar college last week. Ac-
tinn hv the hoard was taken at
special meeting to consider charges
of disloyalty made by the alumni
and persons prominent in Virginia
affairs.
President Edwin Alderman, of the
university, in asking the board to
dismiss Whipple. declared it was
Whipple's deliberate purpose to con-
duct far-rea ching campaign for
the promulgation of sentiments SINH
lar TO those expressed in his address.
Whipple was quoted as saying de-
mocracy was not safe in America,
and that he subscribed to the cam
paign fund Of Morris Hillquit. So
ciahst candidate for mayor of New
York. rather than buy Liberty
bonds.
The board found Whipple guilty
OF "unpatriotic and disloyal if not
seditious utterances at a time when
the United States is defending its
people in the most devastating war
of all history" His offense was
held TO be aggravated by his send
ing advance copies of his address to
the newspapers and by the fact that
his "utterances received special sig
nificance because they emanated
from one of the faculty of the uni
versity.'
The board asserted that although
ii was committed to the theory and
practice of freedom of academic
thought and expression, 1t regarded
Whipple's utterances as "a gross
abuse of the freedom OF speech"

but to routine preference orders
issued by many representatives of
government departments. The num-
her of the orders has become so
large that on some of the eastern
roads they are being applied to the
greater part of the freight. The at
tempt to give expedited movement
to an excessive amount of freight
has increased congestion in yards by
causing a large increase IN switching
movement"
In the country as a whole. Mr..
Harrison said congestion is not so
severe and in the southwest the
roads could handle still larger
business.

WASTE OF FOOD WILL
BE PROBED. by HOOVER
Relatives of Soldiers Responsible,
for Condition i'm Many Instances
by Providing Supplies.

Washington, Dec. 3.-The ap
pointment of Surgeon General Will
liam c. Gorgas. U S. A., as head OF
committee selected by the war de-
partment to investigate food condi-
tions at army camps was made
known in a joint statement by Sec
retary Baker and Food Administra-
tor Hoover answering complaints Of
waste at army camps. The commit
tee is cooperating with the quarter
master generals department and the
food administration in efforts to
eliminate whatever waste there may
be.
"A great deal of complaint has
arisen throughout the country as to
waste at army camps" said the
statement. These camps have been
in the main but recently organized
and many of the complaints occur
red during the time that they were
in the hands of contractors. The
war department has already directed
the appointment of a committee un-
der Surgeon General Gorgas which is
cooperating with the quartermas-
ter generals department and the
| food administration and is now ac-
lively engaged in investigation and
the devising of means for the pre-
vention of waste.
The food administration has made
no suggestions to meatless or wheat
less days in the camps and has in no
way attempted any regulation or
control either directly or indirectly
for the feeding of American soldiers
) while it is necessary for tn.
civilian population to reduce the con
sumption Of food stuffs at every
point and to eliminate waste in or.
der that the soldiers and our allie.
may be fed. il is yet felt that tn
country wishes the American sol
diers to receive every particle o.
food necessary to his adeQuat,
nourishment and comfort. and tn,
food situation in the camps is good
, ~ DDuHllluI supply OF WnOIeSOn'
and well prepared food is furnished
Some waste exists. due to tn,
fact that the families and friends O
soldiers, under the impression tina
they are insufficiently provided for
send great quantities of food to tn,
camps. thus adding a surplus ant
causing waste.
I'm many camps the officers anC
men, like the civilian population oi
the country at large, have taken &
voluntary interest in the conserva.
tion asked by the food administra.
tion. and the war department is en-
couraging it in every way

sure the country and to say that

being made in the elimination OF
waste and that this progress is not
