MAILED FIST
UPRAISED FOR
UTMOST BLOW
Secretary Bakers Review
Predicts Defeat Of Prus-
sia on Western Front.

Germany's greatest blow OF the war
her supreme effort-impends on the
western front.
The allies are fully alive to the fact.
as is the United States.
This was made certain yesterday by
Newton d. Baker. Secretary of War,
who made 1t plain that the coming
thrust of the German mailed fist will
not only be met, but defeated, by the
full strength of a united defense.
All possible efforts, Secretary Baker
indicated in his weekly summary OF
military operations, are being made
by the United States and her allies in
preparation for the expected thrust.
He even went SO far as to indicate
that the Prussian war machine may
have temporary success. but as to the
ultimate outcome, tho American mill
tary experts, for whom he speaks,
have no fears.
The Russian and Rumanian armis-
tice with Germany. the Secretary
showed, have been taken quick ad-
vantage Of by the Prussian war lord,
who, he says, has in recent days
drawn large increments of troops
from the eastern war theater. AT
present, says Baker, Germany has
amassed on the western front "a re-
Iatively large force than she has ever
been able to mobilize in France in the
past"

WILSON PORTRAIT in
CORCORAN GALLERY
Critics Agree Presidents Picture
One of Sargent's Best.

John Sargents recently completed
portrait >of President Wilson. the
purchase price of which went into
the Red Cross funds, was hung in
the place Of honor at the Corcoran
Gallery yesterday.
The unusual circumstances under
which this painting was produced
give it an especial interest. Shortly
after the outbreak of the European
war, Mr.. Sargent offered to paint a
picture by commission Of the highest
bidder and to donate the purchase
price to the Red Cross. This Offer
was auctioned at Christie's in Lon
don, the highest bidder being Sir
Hugh Lane, who bought the pro-
posed picture for $4,000.
Before Sir Hugh had decided on the
subject of the picture, he made n triI
to the United States ani on his re-
turn trip to England. took passage
on the iIl-fated Lusitania. losing his
life.
Under the terms Of his will, his art
collection became the property of tht
National Gallery Of Ireland, at Dublin
and this picture, though yet unpaint
ed. became the property of that, IN
stitution. while its directors were
privileged to choose the subject o.
the picture. They decided that theI
would like to have a portrait o.
President Wilson.
Although the pressure of public
busines was very great, the Presi
dent has managed to give Mr.. Sar
r. tsaA. - ..-:-+ry sittings this ia!
and the portrait was completed with
in the last few weeks. ''~-- =
The directors of the National Cal
lery OF Ireland have courteously
granted the Corcoran Gallery the
privilege OF exhibition the portrait
from December 10, 1871. to January
10. 1918. 1t Is expected that many
thousands will avail themselves of the
opportunity of seeing the Presidents
portrait by this distinguished con.
temporary painter.
Art critics agree that the picture
is done in Sargent's best manner
giving especial praise to the mastery
drawing of the head.

ship OFFICIALS
WOULD MODIFY
SEAMAN'S LAW
Plan to Give u. S. Greater
Control Over Merchant
Marine Crews.

Modification of the Seamen's Law
to an extent that will give the gov
ernment greater control over the
crews Of its new merchant marine, is
a suggestion that has been put for
ward at the headquarters Of the
United States Shipping Board by Of
fIcals OF that body concerned with the
problem Of manning the vessels.
whether the board will adopt the
suggestion is doubtful. At all events.
il is declared, it is contemplated only
as a last resort At present the
board has before it the proposal OF
Secretary Of the Navy Daniels to
help man the vessels by increments
Of men from the naval reserve.
Criticism Of this plan, which Is re-
sponsible for the more drastic pro-
posal of a repeal of parts Of the Sea-
mems act, is that IL the government
merchant ships are manned partly
by civilian crew and partly by naval
reservists complications would re-
suit.
1t is anticipated that there might
be trouble in adjusting wages and a
varying degree of discipline. More
over the objection is made that the
naval reservists will be needed Tor
the warships.
II il discipline that the Shipping
Board considers a principal requisite
in its operation of the new mer-
chant fleet. 1t is this and the
absolute necessity that. in the absence
OF complete naval operation and regu-
Iation, is what has forced some MEM
bers of the board to consider the repeal
of that clause of the La Toilette act
that now mOdifies a ship master
authority.
With his power restored, some ap-
proximition of naval discipline might
be established and maintained
