changing of the city ordinances, which
will make possible the transfer of the
appointing power, ut their meeting to-
night Should council decide to comply
with the State Council of Defence propo-
sition, committee of council acting jointly
with the health committee of council of

the city solicitor and draft the necessary
ellis relation to several of the officers on
the staff of the board of health. Mr.

 During the war, Senator Knox said, the president has spoken with the "greatest possible variety of ideas and attitudes" on various questions. He referred to the Presidents "peace without victory address and what he termed readiness after the Lusitana, to compromise the U.boat barbarity in return for half-hearted promise to try to spare our ships."
 "A spirit of partisanship and secre- cy," was charged against the admin istration by Senator Knox, who said Democrats and Republicans apparent ly suffered equally in this respect, ex. cept for one conspicuous case he did not name. The President. he said, was held himself "aloof in isolation" from the peoples representatives and repelled counsel.

COMBINED NAVAL BASE
 AND HEADQUARTERS IN
 FRANCE BY AMERICANS

American Naval Base, France, Oct B -(By Associated Press)-Here on this rugged Breton coast there is al American naval establishment which is q sort of composite of the busy activity of the Navy Depar' '.ncn1 ct Washington and of one of the big navy yards on the American coast.
 Vice-Admiral Wilson, commanding the American naval forces in French waters, has his headquarters hele, with an executive staff quartered in ole of the largest buildings of the city, fronting the Place President Watson. American biuejackets are on gaurd at all the entrances, and stcady files of American naval off, cCrs and sailors crowd the corridors or their various duties.
 The streets are filled with Ameri can sailor on liberty parties" often 5000 and 5000 in single party. And Cn the water front there is the hustle and activity of "a huge navy yard, with scores of American naval cra'; ard transports lying ill the harbor, and the shore alive with vast naval installation.
 Resides the rush of the port itself, thls is the naval administration ceii- ter for 300 miles of the French coast divided into three districts, with a number of the chief ports into which the masses of American men ard material are pouring.
 Aside from the American transport flee, which comes and goes, there is a standing personnel of officers end men in these districts, with some 80 ships, destroyers, repair ships, converted yachts, mine sweepers and naval tugs. The shore establishment is on the same extensive scale, win aerodOmes for lballOns and ailplanes. great stacks of coal and mammoth tanks for fuel oil.
 Naval headquarters is in constant direless touch with the whole range of this naval activity, along the 300 IT Hes of front and far out to- sea. WEere the conveys are steadily mov- Ing in and out All the orders are issued here for this intricate move m.nt, the meeting at sea at appoint ea places; and the zig-zag routes which will cheat the hostile craft ly.ng off the coast. From outside feadQuarters one sees the wireless artennae stretching off to nearby church steeple, thus giving a great sweep of wire for gathering the sound waves. There is also direct telegraph and telephone, so that if reed be, conversations may go on between naval chiefs and American officers at Paris or London.
 It is a huge work this big estab- lashment is carrying on. On the Strictly naval side are the defensive End nffansiva oneratiOn-defenSe of American and other allied shipping In the vast movements of men and material across the Atlantic, and of feusive in the war of extermination bp,ng made against enemy sub- marines.
 Outside of the naval opdrations. there Is the steady march of vast naval construction at all the ports along this 300 miles of sea front, rerair plants, fuel stations, oil tanks, water works, and all the requirements of great naval establishment which Is constantly expanding.
