MAY POOL INDUSTRY
Army Plan Under Consideration OF
War Hoard-May Name Dictator Of
Manufacturing Resources.

Washington. June ia plan for
pooling all the resources OF the United
States and its co-belligerents into one
vast economic and war machine, on
which government officials and Allied
representatives are working, will be
submitted soon to President Wilson.
The proposal, under consideration
for some time, is in the hands o,
Chairman Baruch OF the War Indus
tries Board. who has gone over it
with other government Officers and
members Of the Allied missions here
AS outlined. it contempiates making
the industries board virtually indus
trial dictator OF the nations associated
in the war against the Central Powers.
Need for greater coordination Of in
dustrial effort, similar to the uniting
of the military commanders under
General Foch. has been stressed BY Of
ficials both in the United States and
In Europe. One purpose would be 20

WAR PLANTS TO Sc
LOCATED IN West
The Government Will Not Allow
Further Increase in Con-
tracts in the East.
WILL PREVENT CONGESTION
Products for Export win be Routed
to South Atlantic and the
Gulf Ports,

Washington, June 12.-To check
further industrial congestion in the
already oyerburdened East, the gov
ernment has prescribed a district in
which 1t will permit no increase ia
the volume Of war orders nor in the
number Of plants handling them.
This district includes New England
Eastern and Southern New YORK.,
Eastern Pennsylvania to Williams
port and Altoona, New Jersey. Della
ware and Eastern Maryland, exclud-
ing Baltimore.
War Heads Agree IN Policy.
The new policy announced tonight
by the War Industries Board and
Fuel and Railroad administrations,
will tend to create expansion Of in
dustries in the Middle West and
South.
The reason for the action, which al
ready has been put into effect to
some degree, is primarily the inabil-
ity of the railroads to supply coal or
haul promptly the manufactured pro
ducts.
Demand Exceeds. the Supply.
Officials in charge Of quantity pro
duction for the government point out
that the demand for war materials is
actually greater at present than the
capacity Of manufacturing plants and
that consequently a continual expan.
sion which the government hopes &c
promote in the less congested Middle
West and South, and to prevent in the
East. To some extent the execution
Of the policy will affect factories
through the country.
The labor problem also viii be at
fected, Labor advisers of the gov
eminent had found one of their mos
difficult questions in the lure Of labor
to the new war Industries in New
England, Eastern New York anC
Pennsylvania and along the seaboarG
through New Jersey, Delaware ant
Maryland. Farms in the East weri
almost denuded of men and there wa
a general unsetlllng of labor condI
tons farther west.
To Route Exports.
SO far as the shipyards are cor
cerned, this situation cannot be in
proved much by the new policy, bu
the government hopes to minimiz0
labor difficulties in other industries
More equal distribution of manufaC
turing will enable the Shipping Boar
and Railroad Administration better 4
carry out the policy of routing NOR,
export shipments through South AL
lantic and gulf ports.

MILITARY EXPEDITION URGED.
Russian Diplomats Say Effect Of Ger
man influence in Occupied Ter
ritory Should Be counteraeted.

Washington, June 10.-A pro
nounced atmosphere exists In admin
istration and diplomatic circles here
indicating that important changes in
the Russian policies of the allied gov
ernments and Of America are about to
take place.
Officials at the State Department
would not admit President Wilson had
modified his views in respect to the
proposed Intervention OF Japan in ST.
IBERIA, but it was recalled that in this
governments reply to the Japanese
inquiry concerning the question there
was a phrase leaving a loophole for
a future modification Of opinion. It
related to time, holding that the mo-
ment suggested by Japan foF interven-
ing was not wise.
1t is known that France, which orig
inally recommended Intervention by
Japan in Russia, has not changed its
Views, and also that Russian diplomat
lists, both here and abroad, favor in
PREVENTION by all the Allies, or, II
found impracticable for all of them to
participate in force, for all Of them,
particularly the United States, to
have Representatives with any mill
tary expedition which may be dis
patched to Siberia.
1t was emphasized by Russian dip
lomats here. and declared by them to
be the view Of their colleagues in
other countries, that they do not dis.
trust Japan, and recognize the advis-
ability of Intervention. but believe
that any possible troubles which dis
sociated Japanese Intervention might
create, would be obviated If the ac
ton should be taken jointly by all the
Allies.
Russian authorities, as we'll as al
lied observers Of the situation in Rus
STA, fear the consolidation of German
influence in occupied Russia. the Of
fects Of the ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF Russia
which the Central Powers are prose
cutting and the treachery OF the Bole
sheylki. The incompetence Of the
Maximilist, they assert, is as danger
GUS to the interests of Russia as theil
proven infidelity might be.

CIVILIANS TO NEXT CAMPS
But All Candidates Must Be Above
the Draft Age, Says War
Department Order.

Washington, June l2.-The army's
need for officers has become so great
that the next series Of training camps
win again be opened to civilian cam
didates. The fifth training camps
will be located at the permanent re-
placement camps instead OF with the
divisions.
The artillery. especially, is short Of
officers. The plan that has been prac-
tically decided upon is TO admit eleven
hundred civilian candidates and
twelve hundred from the ranks to
the artillery officers training camp
each month.
Only men from civil life who are
above the draft age win be accepted
as candidates. Those with technical
Quotations are being sought.

MUST SUPPORT WAR
President Warns American Federation
That Our Cause Can Easily
Be Lost at Home.

Washington, June 12.-President
Wilson telegraphed today to the Amer
ican Federation of Labor and the
American Alliance for Labor and De-
mocracy, in convention at st. Paul,
Mimi, urging renewed efforts Of labor
in support Of the war program.
1.-THE war can be lost in America as
well as on the fields Of France and
ll%lconsidered or unjustified Interrupt
.tions Of the essential labor Of the
country may make II impossible to
win It." said the Presidents tele-
gram to Robert Maisel Of the Ameri.
can Alliance for Labor and Democ.
racy.
No controversy between capital and
labor should be permitted to interfere
with the prosecution Of the war, the
President said, until every instrument
tality set up by the government has
been employed to settle 1t.

THERE is no denying the fact that
l. some of the really plainest of won-
en- look more attractive than their for
tunste sisters who are blessed with
pretty faces, simply because they give
time and thought to the dressing of their
locks and devising a means of procuring
an attractive colffure. In my opinion,
there is nothing that so readily makes
or mars the appearance of woman as
the way in which she arranges her hair.
Suffice 1t to say that the women OF
New York have long held the honor or
being the best dressed women in our
country. and this acknowledged credit is
due more to their skill in the dressing of
their hair than to extravagant clothes,
for one will very often find the best
dressed women OF New York very plainly
dressed, but their heads always show
careful dressing.
The vogue Of combing the hair over
the tops of the ears continues. but one
should not interpret this to mean fussy
punches of hair over the ears. II would
very likely be easier to understand. for
one who may be somewhat in the dark,

the hair Is draped over the ears. be II
waved or plain. Some women comb
these locks of hair in . half circle, let
