POLICY TO PLAY 1T
SAFE FOR DEMOCRACY"
IN CONDUCT OF WAR

Washington, Dec. 26.-Inevitably,
the disclosures which have been
made of army deficiencies have
brought about renewed TAX of a
coalition" Cabinet. This talk, how
ever, has not originated in admin
istration circles, nor has the sug-
gestion met with favor there. It
has been said that a coalition"
Cabinet was urged upon the Pres
ident by Col. House in the early
days of the war, and that the Col.
was willing to compromise upon his
suggestion if only some changes
could be made in the present Cab
met. he President, according to the
same story, refused to harbor either
sugge stion; and it is said that his
ardor for Col. House visibly cooled
as consequence.
Another Deserving Democrat
1t may be. of course, that the in
escapable outcome of the present
cumulative volume of exposures will
be the retirement of some of the
present Cabinet officers. But if
Baker is compelled to quit. there is
little likelihood that Roosevelt, or
Root. or Wood will succeed him.
Some deserving. if obscure, Democrat
will be found to take the portfolio.
Equally. if Josephus Daniels should
find conditions such that he could
no longer remain in the Cabinet, it
will be futile to think that Meyer
or Metcalf or any other experienced
Republican will be called to fill the
vacancy: The administration. so far
as the President can control it-and
that is very far. indeed-will remain
distinctly of one party. This war
is being fought, il should be re-
membered, for worldwide democracy
SO far as Europe is concerned and
for hide-bound Democracy so far as
the United States has any interest
in it.

PROCLAMATION TAKING

ERTIES AT NOON TODAY;

All the railroads in he United

This was done by a proclamation
of the President, under the use Of
the powers delegated to him by the
Act of Congress Of August, 1916 The
United Sta es was the last one Of
the Allied Powers to take control
of the railroad systems.
Obligation IL Assumed
In a statement accompanying his
proclamation the president announced
that when congress reassembled he
would ask that definite guarantees
Be given that the railroad properties
will be maintained in As good repair
and a. complete equipment As when
taken over and that the net operat-
Ing income in each case shall equal

In the proclamation was announced
the appointment of w. G. McAdoo,

There is a general belief that the
organizations of the several railroad
companies, A. now constituted, will

been. expressed that Judge Robert
8. Lovett, former head Of the Harri-
man lines, will serve in an advisory
capacity. Representatives Of four of
the railroad brotherhoods held \
conference yesterday with the Pres.
ident, and pledged their loyalty to

AMERICAN FEDERATED LABOR
PASSES STRONG RESOLUTION
FOR ADEQUATE PROTECTION

Washington, Dec. 26-In spite of
a great deal Of catering to the so
called labor elements among the
voters Of this country by the pres
ent administration. fact which ad-
ministration spokesmen do not deny,
but Justify on the grounds that it is
rood policy to scure strong support
for the administration, the great
mass of labor men do not take this
fcigned friendship seriously. Even
Mr.. Gompers was not able to hold
the convention of the American
Federation of Labor of which he has
long been president, in line for Mr..
Wilson's policies at its recent ses-
sion at Buffalo, but reluctantly gave
his approval to protective tariff
resolution which was adopted with
out dissention by that great repre-
sentative body. The resolution fol-
lows:

slogan Reduce the Cost OF Living
