CONGRESSMEN
in CONFERENCE
AT WHITE HOUSE
DOZEN REPUBLICAN, AND DEMO-
CRATIC LAW MAKERS TALK
WITH PRESIDENT ON SOME
THREATENED LEGISLATION.
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, Feb 1-At a confer
ence with a dozen Republican and
Democratic senators whom he sum
moncd to the White House today,
President Wilson reiterated his oppo-
sition to the pending bills to create
q super-war cabinet and a director Of
munitions, contending that they would
hamper him in the conduct of The war
and that they were unnecessary.
1t was said that the president also
asked the senators to cooperate in
avoiding agitation and discussion of
the measures. The president took the
position that the legislation should not
be forced upon him because he is di-
rectly responsible in the prosecution
of the war. He was told that Sena
tor Hitchcock and Wadsworth were
planning speeches Monday and -ues
day in support of the Legislation and
that If they insisted on speaking there
was no way by which the debate could
be prevented.
All of the senators present today
Were said to be in sympathy with the
presidents views.
No new reasons, it was said, were
advanced by the president for his op-
position and he was most positive in
reiterating that the measures would
cripple ard embarrass his in the cor :
duct of the war. He again referred
to tLe difficulties President Lincoln
had with similar subordinate bcdy
The president also stated as his be-
lief that a large measure of coordina-
ton has been secured and that all
necessary steps have been and are
being taken without necessity for
legislation.
Senators who attended the confer
once said undoubtedly efforts would be
made in the senate in conformance
with the presidet's desire TO minimize

GROUND HOG PEEPS
FROM BURROW TODAY
FOR GLANCE AT sun

Now cometh the lowly ground
hog from his Information to glance
with sleepy eyes about a war
worn world. If there is a re-
cruiting officer, Liberty Loan
salesman, a Red Cross worker,
and a Y. NJ. C. A. secretary pres
ent when ne slips out, he probably
won't have time to be worrying
about his shadow, or anything
else except war.
For this is the ground hogs
first visit since the war clouds
spread over the United States, and
if he is cooperating with the fuel
administration, the weather nu-
reau, and is truly a patriotic
ground hog, he will pretend to see
or not to see, his shadow, which
ever is the proper method of her
aiding The approach of Spring.
