COUNCIL AIMS
AT ALLIED UNITY
General Staff to Supervise All
War Activities May Be
Formed in London.

Spendk SUOIo UeSo0{ch 70 IHu CUk
LONDON, Nov. 2.-Plans for a closer
articulation and coordination OF the mil
itary. naval and economic affairs of the
allied Powers with the view OF unifying
every activity connected with the war
are to be discussed at the forthcoming
conference OF representatives of the al
lied Powers in London next week.
All the allied countries will be rep
resented and It will be the largest and
most important council Of war held in
many months. 1t is understood that the
general object Of the conference is the
creation OF something like a general
stan. which will view the war a. .
whole. including all its military and po-
litical aspects. and prevent the undue
concentration Of efforts in any partcu-
lar area involving the possible neglect Of
other sections equally in need Of atten-
ton.
Plans are in hand also for the unih-
cation OF all financial, industrial and
economic resources and the distribution
Of necessaries where they are most
needed. the perfection OF transport ar
rangements for the rapid movement OF
troops and supplies. the highest utiliza-
tion Of shipping and better protection
against submarines.
Due 20 Recent Criticism.
The conference whether so intended
or not, is the outgrOwth Of recent criti-
cism Of the failure Of the Government
to control the military authorities and
compel them to take a wide view Of war
problems. Newspaper criticism reached
the highest point OF bitterness In an ar
ticle in the Manchester Gudrdidn, which
follows In part:
The military conduct Of the war as
exercised at home Ia profoundly unsat-
isfactory. We are not fighting with our
heads. That must be so. for in every
thing else We arc superior to the enemy.
We have more men greater resources.
II then We ask why. in the fourth wear
of the war. we are, but for the entry OF
the United States and the growing ex-
haust!on OF the enemy. in relatively
worse posture than at the wars be-
ginning. there is no other answer
Big Aspects Not Grasped.
The Guuriian charges that the tech
nical military authorities have failed
utterly to grasp the big political aspects
Of the various phases OF the war and
the lltt'SSllH VI al lll"
in maintaining every front firm and
strong. II adds:
'Jf II had not been for the pre-
ponderancs Of tho vested interest OF
Flanders IN our military counsels. we
would have won the war long ago In tho
east Men on the SPOT In Flanders
dominated tho General STAFF, which
dominates the statesmen, who alone
were able to take wide Wow Of tho
whole national needs of this war"
Similar expressions in sections OF tho
press commonly supporting the Govern
ment are construed AS preparing the
public mind for changes in the military
control to bring about tho greatest har-
mony hetween its programme and tho
wider political purposes OF mutual sup
port among all the allied countries.

FIRST BOAT LANDS AT

The Juneau Empire says that cap tain GIasscock, of the Admiral Evans, reports that his ship on the last trip, was the first boat to land at the new dock of the Alaska An thracite Coal Company at Control Ter Bay, and that the wrokmen on the railroad declared holiday and celebrated.
 The Evans had a shipment Of rai' road iron for the Company and as there were no launches there to handle the lighters, Captain Glass cock decided to go into the dock' which he did. He declares that the Bay makes a good barbor and that as soon as dolphins and lights are established, the channel will be perfectly safe for boats in any ktnG of weather.
 The bay is a wide one and there is plenty of water for any boat to navigate into the dock. The rail- road is getting well along towards the coal fields, according to the captains report.

Some days I could hardly do my work for 1t was almost impossible to bend over. My kidneys were weak and annoyed me a great deal, too. was w0r- ried because my feet swelled and because of the puffiness under my eyes.

BUSINESS, AND VACATIONS, AS
 USUAL

In the same breath, We talk wild ly about economy, efficiency and business as usual" But in our eudeIyor to practice the first we come dangerously near to destroy ing the others. An example Of this is the tendency to eliminate Yaca- tious, on the plea that every mans strength is needed for the national struggle. We agree about the need. We go farther and maintain that every mans fullest body and brain power will be required for the days that are ahead. A man with little vitality, little endurance, will not be able to stand the strain or face unprecedented emergencies with the mental alertness or The physical en- ergy demanded. On this account alone g rest is needed by every one to gain that reserve power that will be one of our greatest national as sets. 'AIiI g
 But there are still more urgent reasons for taking our annual holi- day. During the last year, we a9 a nation, have perhaps spent more energy than at any other time in our history. We have increased production, speeded up delivery, and lived through more trying crises than any ever faced by this generation. All this has consumed our strength more rapidly than W realized; and while the stimulus of patriotism enables many to hold out for the present, the endurance can not be prolonged indefinitely. At some crucial moment, valuable work CTS here and there will go down un- der the strain, and the loss will be far greater than any temporary slowing up while these same work CTS took 9 much needed rest.
 Your country needs machine pow CT, man power, brain power; need them now, will need them more in the future. But more than all these, she needs men with vision, vision to see beyond present needs to fu- ture emergencies. Now Is your timd to plan for these, to gather the reserve of strength and Tigor which will carry you through the coming year. If our motto Is to be business as usual" then follow it out to the last detail and add -''YacatiOns as usual!" -. From American Industries for August.

THE TEAM LEADERS

MOSt or the men HI Sue Al LhS oA v private soldiers. Their work Is of the greatest importance and de- serves all the respect and praise which 1t receives. A great many men in the National Army, however, will be ambitious to rise to higher ranks. They will find plenty or encouragement and of opportunities for promotion.
 If you are one of these men, don1 allow yourself to forget the fact that you can win promotion only by proving your fitness in each duty intrusted to you. It Is rare case when a man is jumped several ranks ahead. As rule, he climbs from one rank to the next higher rank after having demon- strated in each position his intelli- gence, honor and reliability.
 From the iirst-class Vrivates are usually chosen the corporals. These are the squad leaders. They are appointed by the commanding offi- cer of the regiment on the recom- mendation of the commanding offtc- CT of the company.
 Next above the corporal in rank comes the sergeant. There are usually to II sergeants in 8 company. Unless a sergeant has some other duty assigned to him. he is normally the leader of @ pla- toon,
 Sergeants and corporals are known as noncommissioned officers because they are appointed by their regimental commanding officer. or ficers of higher ranks are known as commissioned, since they hold their rank by virtue of a commission is- sued to them under authority ot the President Of the United states.
 Lowest in rank among the com missioned officers is the second lieu ltenant. Above him comes the first lieutenant and above him the cap tain. These are the three "com- pany officers"
 Next above the captain Is the majcr whose proper command is a battalion. A step higher is the lIieuteLant colonel and above hin tl' colonel, the commanding officer ot regiment.
 Above the colonel is the brigadier general, whose proper command Is brigade. Above the brigadier gen eral is the major general, the high est rank at present held by any officer of the American Army.
 One general, however, serves as Chief of Staff of the Army.
 The chaiG of authority reaches in an uubroken line all the way from the President to the newest re- cruit. If the President chooses to give an order which in any way ar fleets the recruit, it passes through the Secretary of War, Chief oi staff, major general, brigadier gen. eral, colonel, major, captain, ser geant, and possibly corporal un- til the recruit is reached and the order obeyed.
