CREATES
DEPARTMENT
OF MUNITIONS
Measure Being Prepared
Divorces Secretary from
Ordnance Management.

Munitions andeordnance supplies fO'
the American army are to be taken
out of the hands of the War Depart
ment, if the Senate Military Affairs
Committee succeeds in a movement
launched last night.
A new department of munitions is
to be created, with man at its head
who will report, not to Secretary Of
War Newton D. Baker, but directly
to President Wilson himself, by the
terms of bill now being prepared.
Its chief will not sit as a member
of the cabinet, according to the COM
mittee's plan.
This legislation is to be fathered by
the Military Affairs Committee in the
hope of speeding up munitions sup
piled for the army. in the first place,
and of eliminating all possible protit-
eering, in the second place.
The American war program has
been held up for months because Of
dilatory methods in supplying the
troops with. arms, the committee has
learned.
The committee instructed Senator
Chamberlain of oregon, the chairman,
to draw up a bill which he will intro
duce tomorrow.

WEST FRONT
DRIVE, PLAN
OF GERMANY
Failure of Russian Negotia,
tons Believed to Presage
New Attack.

The failure of the Russian negotia-
tIons at this time and the revelation
of Germany's duplicity will compel
the German high command to resort
to a desperate drive on the West front.
The allies, including the United
States, are preparing to meet this
drive. probably late in February or
early in March.
These are the conclusions reached in
high official and diplomatic quarters
here yesterday, following the receipt
OF news from Petrograd and from
Germany via Amsterdam and London.
No American official would say he
believed the United States would have
a large part in resisting this drive.
IL Is admitted that our preparations
have been hurried. however. The train
ing schedule of our troops has been
shortened considerably and their dis
patch is now only a question Of availa-
bic tonnage.
Secretary Baker declined to indicate
that this fastening of preparations is
in response to the appeal of Col. House
for the quicker dispatch of troops.
He insists that the troops have all
along been trained with as much speed
as seemed possible. The appeal of
Col. House Is therefore construed as
reflection of the anxiety which is
felt in London and Paris over the
events of the early spring.

IL is predicted that further efforts
Will be made by Germany to come
to an agreement with Russia.
The revelation of German duplicity
In the Russian negotiations has given
tremendous strength to the German
opposition parties at home. An allied
mission here received copies OF an
editorial in which the Leipsic Volks-
zeitung, organ of the minority So
cialists, attacked the government in
terms as severe as might have been
employed by any entente spokesman.
At the same time was received a re-
port that Philip Scheidemann, leader
of the government Socialists, in a
meeting of the Reichstag main COM
tmittee had given voice to an equally
severe arraignment Of the proposed
expansion by trickery. as 6ustifying

.NAON HAS RESIGNED?
WAR issues INVOLVED
Argentine Ambassador Fails to Con-
firm Report of Retirement.

Buenos Aires, Jan. 3.-Senor Naon,
Argentine Ambassador to the United
States, today requested President 1r-
roygen by telegraph to accept this
resignation.
President Irroygen sent message in
reply, trying to dissuade Ambassador
Naon from giving up his post at
Washington.
The reason or reasons for the ENJOYS
request were not stated in the mes
sage"
Ambassador Naon denied, last
night, that he has rendered his res
ignation. rs
Washington has heard the rumor
from several quarters. and it is be-
lieyed that the Ambassadors denial
is meant to bring the announcement
of his resignation from his govern
ment rather than from himself.
Reliable information has 1t here that
