Chairman Chamberlain and Sena-
tors Mcclellan. Hitchcock, Wads-
worth, Weeks and New were among
those taking issue with the secre-
tsry regarding the adequacy of the
reorganization Of the war depart
ment, but they admitted il was an
improvement over the old system.
Senators Becbham and Kirby ex-
pressed satisfaction with the new
plan.
In detailing the reorganization.
Sec'y Baker said the war industries
board. by authority of common
consent if not technical legal
power, would become the supreme
arbiting authority in coordinating
industrial needs Of the war and add
ed that Pres't willard of the board
and Gen. Goethals, acting quarter
master general, approve the plan.
Questioned by senator's, Mr.. Ba-
ker admitted that under the new
army supply department, the ord
nance, quartermaster's medical,
aviation and engineer bureaus
would do separate purchasing, but
said it would be cOordinated and
directed This feature was sharply
criticized by committee members as
failing TO effect GENERALIZATION of
munitions affairs.
Criticize Bakers Statements.
Sec'y Bakers statements regard
ing suficiency of supplies were
criticized by Chairman Chamber
lain and Sens. Hitchcock, McKellar.
Weeks and others. Mr.. Chamber
lain said the country would believe
that everything had been done
which should have been accom-
pIished Il don't think it has" he
added.
Il think the country is entitled TO
feel secure" Mr.. Baker replied.
adding that when all the facts are
known a feeling of security viii be
justified.
Sen. Hitchcock cited specific
shortages of clothing and ordnance
and said Mr.. Bakers statements
would leave the impression that
everything is lovely when the facts
showed that it is not.
Mail Service Delays.
Delay in mail service 10 the
American expeditionary forces also
was complained Of during the day
and Mr.. Baker said the war and
postoffice departments are endeav-
oring TO provide the best possible
service.
In executive session the secretary
was questioned for nearly two hours
regarding supplies for the American
army overseas and other confiden-
tial matters. During the session
Chairman Cham berlain took occa-
sion to ask why in his annual re-
port, Mr.. Baker had disapproved
the senator's bill for universal mill
tary training. The secretary replied
that his principal objection was
that sufficient officers could not be
spared from service 70 take charge
OF the training He also expressed
the belief that decision on a def
mite military policy for the nation
should be deferred until the end Of
the war when the world viii face
very changed conditions.

The Circular Tale Of
Food Conservation

The patriotic feeling that we must
cut down our diet brings in time a
new feeling of alertness and physi-
cal well-being and results in furn-
ishing us with more energy and
strength for our war duties.
1t goes round in a circle-patriot-
ism, less food, better health, more
patriotism.
The cutting down of food to ship
over half again as much as last year
is not going to make us thin and
weak. Doing without rich desserts
to save sugar will cure indigestion,
and cutting down on meat will mean
fewer dull headaches. We will be-
come rejuvenated with the excess
energy Of good health and will have
more enthusiasm for keeping up the
food supply on the other side.

OBITUARY

Laurie w. Florness died at Camp
Shelby, Miss, Nov. 9th, 1918, and
his remains, accompanied by MIL
itary escort. arrived in the city Sat
urday evening. The body was left
at Lusk's undertaking parlors un-
til Monday afternoon. Owing to
the order barring public funerals
the remains were taken to Green
wood cemetery where short serv-
ice was held, Rev. G. A. Bird offici-
ating.
Laurie w. Florness was born to
Mr.. and Mrs. D. L. Florness at Sc
attic, Wash, May IA, 1898. His
mother died Dec. 3, 1901. A year
later Walter came to River Falls
with his father where he has since
made his home. On July he was
called to the Eelors and left for Col
umbus Barracks. He was station
ed there two weeks and was then
rejected. On account of his physl-
cal condition he then came home
and underwent a minor operation.
On Oct. % he left again with con-
tingent TO Camp Shelby, Miss. On
Oct. % word was received that he
was sick with influenza and on Nov.
1 a telegram came stating that he
had pneumonia but was not serious.
Hopes for his recovery were enter
tanned up to the very last when the
last telegram was received Nov. 9
conveying the sad news that he had
passed away at 8:15 a. m. Human
reason asks, why the untimely
death of this young man who had
gone out 70 serve his country and
was taken away before opportunity
was given him? All we can say is,
God, Thou alone knowest, and that
he died that Liberty shall not per-
ish from the EARTH" the same cause
that our boys gave their lives for on
the battlefe.ds.
Walter will be greatly missed
here, always having been a friend
to all.
