Centralized, unified control of the
grand strategy of the allies was the
burning question of last week, and
Premier LloydGeOrge became the
storm center of discussion. Following
the establishment of the inter-allied
war council by the British, French and
italian governments and English par.
Elementary and press criticism there
of, Mr. LlOyd-George, then in Paris,
delivered what he himself called a
''brutally frank" speech admitting that
the allies had repeatedly made "incred-
dble blunders" in Serbia, Roumania,
Italy and elsewhere. These he at
tributed in the main to lack of united
action, and declared that while the
war has been prolonged by particular
ISM 1t will be shortened by solidarity.
This aroused a storm of adverse
comment and brought the premier face
to face with the most serious political
crisis that has confronted him. Even
Mr.. Asquith joined his critics, and
Lloyd George fastened home to reply
TO them. The opposition assumed the
war council plan meant the retirement
of Haig and Robertson and the con-
troll of military operations by civilians.
The people as whole seemed to sup
port the premier. and there was be-
lief that he would win the struggle.
The War-council scheme is still in
complete in that the United States is
not yet included, but 1t is hoped that
President Wilson and his adminiStra-
with the others in evolving and carry
ing out a plan of grand strategy.
Lord Northcliffe was offered the adj
lministratiOn of the new air ministry
by Lloyd George, but declined. In his
letter of declination he spoke of the
Ifervor and enthusiasm with which the
United States and Canada proceed
with their war preparations, compar-
ing this with the "wabbly" methods
in England. He warned the premier
that unless there was swift improve
ment in Great Britain, the United
States would rightly take into its own
hands the entire management of a
great part of the war, refusing to sac
rifice It's blood and treasure to the in
competent handling of the affairs of

CLOSE TO HEARTS
OF ALL AMERICANS
Particular Reason Why Thanks
giving Day Should Be Gen.
eraI[V Celebrated Here.

NNE of the oldest and best beloved
n holidays in the whole year
~ comes to us this week-Oldest in
our history because the Puritan
fathers celebrated it when they did
not celebrate Christmas, best beloved
because it is a holiday all our own,
typically American through and
through. Nations all over the world
celebrate Christmas, New Years and
Easter Even our Independence day
has its echo in the French July IA, but
Thanksgiving day is the entire proper
ty of the American people, and per-
haps this adds the extra luSter which
makes it a day apart in the heart Of
every citizen.
It's origin was in the farms, where
the harvest season was closed with a
day set aside for the giving of thanks
for the crops just harvested. In real
ity it is a national harvest festival, but
its meaning has come to cover more
than just the harvest season alone.
Now this holiday is accorded us for
the rendition of thanks for the bless
ings of the entire year
We find that during the Revolution
the observance of this day for giving
thanks had become so general that
congress recommended each year
Thanksgiving day. This was an an
nual occurrence until the end Of the
war, when a day was set aside in
1884, for rendering thanks for the re-
turn of peace. Again in 1889 Wash
ington appointed day of thanksgiving
for the adoption of the Constitution.
It was in this year also that the Epis-
copal church formally recognized the
right Of the civil government to rec
Ommend such a feast day.

Berlin Press Non-Committal.

COPENHAGEN. September 6.-The
Berlin press is decidedly non-committal
as to the promised blessings of the
press bureaus which are to be estab-
lished in connection with every de-
partment of the government rejoicing
only that the direction of matters will
be taken from the press bureau of the
foreign office, hitherto the organ of in
spiration for editorial comment in re-
gard to both home and foreign affairs
The press bureau for directing the do
mestic policy is intrusted to the min
istry of the interior.
The system of Chancellor Michaelis is
based upon the idea of enabling news
paper reporters to obtain news direct
from the Information bureaus of the va
rious ministries, all of which are placed
under the direct charge Of the chancellor s
press chief. Baron Won Braun has been
selected for that post. He explained to
newSpaperrnen that the chancellor of
course, had no thought of attempting to
influence the press and desired merely
to guard against unfounded criticism
under which the government has suffered
often in the past and to keep control of
the whole publicity organization in his
own hands
The chancellor was responsible th.
baron explained, for the entire policy
of the empire, and, therefore, was en-.
titled to demand that all the press
departments OF the various ministries
should instruct the press along tha
lines of his policy.

DRAMA LEAGUES PROGRAM
FOR SEASON is OUTLINED
Performances to Be Given at Casino
Theater, Instead of Wilson
Normal School.

Plans for the coming season of the
Drama League Players were outlined
last evening at a meeting at the Public
Library. called by Bertram Bloch, to
the actors, amateur playwrights,
scenery painters. stage managers and
all others who will have a part in the
productions.
The players will produce their open
ing bill, consisting of twa new Shaw
plays, The Admirable Bashville'' and
Augustus Does His Bit" at the Casino
Theater October is. 19 am 20. Mr..
Bloch explained that in coming to a
down town theater the players had no
thought of competing with the profess
sional stage.
The change was made because of the
better stage facilities, the larger audi.
torium and the easier access than that
afforded at the Wilson Normal School
1t is intended to produce many plays
which the commercial managers might
not find profitable. and this season also
will be marked by some original plays
A feature of the players program for
the winter also will be invitation per.
formances to soldiers at the camps in the
vicinity of Washington.
To make books on the drama and copies
of plays available the league has estab.
lished a book store and library, with Mrs
Gertrude Mosshart in charge, at room 3O6

RUSS WAR SECRETS
LOOSELY GUARDED
Nine. SoukhomIinoff Told Ev-
erything by Former Minister,
Witnesses Assert.
WIFE'S INFLUENCE SHOWN
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PETROGRAD, Wednesday. September
5.-Witnesses at the trial of Gen. Sioux
hom1inoff, former war minister who is
accused of high treason, unfolded in
part today the story of Nine. Soukhom-
llnon, bearing out reports of the in
fiuence she established over her hus-
band. She is on trial an accomplice
in the crimes of which the general is
accused.
Anna Goshkevitch, former friend of
the Soukhomlinoffs, testified that the
young wife of the elderly minister of
war frequently expended 100. 900 rubles
- year. When she was abroad her hus-
band sent her almost his entire salary,
and for the sake of economy he was
forced to eat at the officers casino.
The witness declared that Gen Souk-
homlinoff talked freely and carelessly
OF military secrets in the presence of
visitors and told his wife everyt thing.
Secret papers from the war Office she
said, often lay about his home, where
they might easily have been read and
copied.
Demanded Divorce and Money.
NJ. Boutovitch Nine Soukhomlinof~s s
first husband, testified that his wife de-
manded that he obtain a divorce and
give her a large sum of money, because
she desired to marry Gen. Soukhomlin-
of, then governor general of Kieve. NJ.
Boutovitch said he had a stormy inter-
II,
lenged him to a duel and attempted to
strike him.
His wife pretended she had taken
poison. he testified. and refused to take
| an antidote until he promised to as
sumo the guilt necessary for her di-
vorce and pay her 1000 rubles a year
She was twenty-five years old at that
time and Gen. Soukhomlinoff was sixty.
Much OF todays session was occupied
in reading more than 100 letters writ
tr,s- fetr e.
Gen. Januschkevitch. former chief of
staff, in the period between the Begin
ming of the war and the resignation of
Gen Soukhomlinoff. In some of the
letters complaint was made of the slow
movement OF troops and the lack of
energy showR by commanding officers.
The troops were praised, but it was
stated Russia would be better of if
certain generals were on the side of
the enemy.
In one letter Gen. Soukhomlinoff said
Russia had two enemies in the eau
casus-the Turks and Gen. Mishlaieve-
sky.
Hindered by Grand Dukes.
Gen. Soukhomlinoff complained often
that he was hindefed by the ministry
of the interior and by various grand
dukes In one letter he accused Grand
Duke Sergius of exerting a harmful
influence in the artillery department.
He also was bitter toward Gen. Ouch
kof, former minister of munitions, say
ing he was spreading reports concern
ing lack of munitions at the front
which might be of advantage to the
enemy and that this virtually amount
ed to treason
1t appeared from letters that Gen.
Soukhomlinoff became aware of the
shortage of supplies on the Galician
front and accordingly advised a rapid
advance and the seizure of the four
principal Carpathian passes. after
which he felt the troops should take
the defensive for the winter
