The twice-a-week Twin Falls times. (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1916-1918, 1917-12-18

solved the four important problems of
organization, military instruction, sup
plies and transportation. We wanted
the United States to profit by all OF
our military errors and gladly sent
400 of our best officers to serve as in
structors in the American army which
will number 100000 men if it be
deemed necessary. The army was not
long in putting into effect drastic
changes in its artillery equipment At
ter six weeks of negotiation, it adopt
ed our 3-inch, 6-inch short and 6-inch
long guns, our 1 1-2-inch and our
Howitzers. To save time the United
states has placed orders with our gun
factories aggregating more than $25.-
100000. Our factories have been es-
pecially equipped to meet the orders
and are hard at work. The same meth
obs have been adopted for the ayia-
ton
The war department and the ship
ping board have closely examined the
situation for naval bases and have
given us their closest cooperation. II
IS interesting to remark that the 100
VVO additional tons of shipping that
nave been turned over to us within
the last three weeks have been re-
leased without in the slightest suh-
stracting from the tonnage used in
the transportation of troops Stimuli

made to coordinate the policing of the
seas and the assurance of safety 10

every F'renchman, for il affirms the
generous solidarity Of our American
ally. l will add, to indicate another
aspect of the problem, that by our
new purchasing organization we
have during the four months of June,
July, August and September, realized
an economy of over $1,000,000, and
the saving will be even more sensibly
increased in the months that are to
follow.
Armament
Next in Importance to the finances
comes the armament For US the
problem consisted in covering our
own needs for as long a period as
possible without interfering with
the actual needs of the new Ameri-
can army and navy that was springing
up. 1t was in this rivalry of need be-
tween the two countries that the Ger
man press based its hopes of dis
agreements between the allies, a hope
that was doomed to rapid disappoint-
ment.
Our first big negotiation was car
ried through on the question of pow
der for our cannon We succeeded
in increasing our importations by
100 per cent per day and thus real
lied an economy in tonnage alone
of 10000 tons per month; because for
powder, the weight of the manufac-
tured aticle is greatly inferior to
that of its raw materials from
which it is produced. The same re-
suit was obtained with picric acid
an increase in the importation. and
tonnage economy of $4,000 tons
per month.
Hundreds of Locomotives
Our needs have been covered in
ga of
until the end of the first three months
of 1918. We were enabled to obtain
the same price as the American gov
eminent, thus doing away with the
middleman's profits and giving us
more capital to be applied in other
directions. Another important ques-
ton, both for the army and civilian
population, was taken up, our needs
in locomotives. We obtained all we
were requested to procure; 300 en-
gines, 1000 miles of track, or steel
rails and 5000 cars of every descrip-
ton. In addition the $50 locomotives
sent by the American government to
the eXpeditiOnary forces in France
will greatly relieve the cOngested
condition of the French railroads.
The United States also conferred an
other great favor upon us, agreeing
to transport material and leaving the
question of adjusting the account
until the close of hostilities.
For the lighter railway material I
counselled the French government
to accept the American designs My
suggestion was accepted and that
permitted me to obtain from Secre-
tary of War Baker the promise to
place all our orders, totalling sew
eral more thousands of cars. Thus
we are completely secured in this
direction. 1 will only mention the
other orders that we placed: raw ma
terials for aeroplanes, gun parts.
machine tools. lead, copper, cyanide
OF sodium. etc. all of which were
placed under the most satisfactory
conditions and at the same prices as
paid by the United States
There remained the question of

steel We had given large orders
but with the diminishing means of
transports the goods were stacked
up in the American ports First it
was necessary to find ships. Sec
ondly, for the year 1918, we have
succeeded in obtaining deliveries of
more than 100000 tons of steel. Thus
we have not only been able to real
ize a great saving, but to assure
600 tons of steel per month, which
will suffice for our needs.
Food Supplies
With regards to the principal ar
ticles of food and supplies, wheat,
sugar, meat and other foodstuffs,
purchases are affected in block by
the interallied organization in Lon
don. This organization could GER
tainly be improved upon, and 1 made
some improvements myself. / had an
expert sent from France to see the
quality and quantity of what ship
ped over. 1t was, thanks to daily
intercourse with Mr.. Hoover the
food controller, that we were in
formed of the purchasing possibili-
ties from month to month. Our
work would have been facilitated if
we had been informed by London and
Paris of the amounts of the pur-
but unfortunately this was not done.
1t was only last September that
the sugar shortage was put up to
me. At my request, Mr.. Hoover i'm
mediately granted me a license for
the export of 10000 tons, which Gov

same time I was asked to occupy

RECORD FOR WAR SECRETARY


The Statesman in its campaign of
abuse against Secretary Baker thinks
that it makes a killing" by quoting
what it admits to be a creditable rec
ord as a civilian and then suggesting
that it does not show him to possess
the qualifications necessary for a sec
rotary of war That is true: neither
does it show the contrary. Elihu Root
was confessedly one of our great war
secretaries His early record up to
the time of his appointment is given
in the Americana as follows:
Root, Elihu. American lawyer and
statesman b, Clinton, y. Y. Is, Feb.
1S45. He was graduated from Hamil-
ton college in 1864 and from the New
York University Law school in 1867
In the latter year he was admitted to
the bar and entered upon the prac-
tice of his profession in New York.
In 1883 he was appointed United
States district attorney for the south
ern district of New York; in 1894 was
a delegate at large to the New York
state constitutional convention, and
was chairman of the judiciary com
mittee. He was appointed secretary
of war by President Mckinley in 1899
and reappointed in 1891 Though his
marked ability as a lawyer was rec
ognized by his colleagues, he was but
little known outside New York state
at the time of his appointment to the
war department, and the choice ex-
cited considerable surprise"
Mr.. Root is only one of several sue
cessful war secretaries chosen from
civil life during our history. Since
the Statesman has neither the COM
prehension to understand why this can
be so. nor the candor to admit it.
when a Democratic official is under
discussion, and since TIMES readers
understand the matter without eluci-
dalton, further discussion of the sub
ject would be useless and superfluous
