Less Direct Responsibility II Advisers
Are Nonpartisan Board


st. Paul. Mimi, March 22.-"I do
not see the necessity for a reorganiza-
ton of the cabinet along coalition
lines said Congressman c. c. Van
Dyke, of Minnesota here today.
I'VE have to hold somebody re-
sponsible for the steps taken and
there would be nobody responsible If
the cabinet were strictly non-partisan-
The president has plenty of advisers
along lines, committees on prepared
ness and every possible subject con-
nected with administering the affairs
of the United States.
Personally, I am not in favor of
the coalition plan proposed
In Favor of Coalition.

London, March 21.-The stormy

Notwithstanding the work of de-
struction which the Germans are
carrying out as they withdraw, the
British troops find shelter in the VII
lagos they occupy. Many places
which the British have taken in the
last few days contain civilian inhabi-
tants and it is reported that the Ger

back instead of forward so they will
not have so many mouths to feed.
The correspondent reports that the
Joy of the civilians at their liberation
from German rule is pathetic, and that
instead of leaving provisions for five
days for the civilians as was reported,
the Germans took the last loaf from
the inhabitants before burning the
villages.

No important engagement or
marked change in the line is reported
