Why the Weather Rureau7

Why the weather bureau? This
question is likely to be asked, in more
OK less querulous tones, whenever the
local weather prediction fails, as it
often does, says the Popular Science
Monthly. The inquirer Overlooks the
fact that the weather bureau has much
more important things to fOretell than
ordinary changes of weather. 1t pre-
diets with certainty great windstOrms,
destructive floods, severe freezes and
other atmospheric visitations that en-
danger life and property on a large

But it is nothing new. The fair sex
have been practicing the art for many,
many centuries, and a little paint,
sprinkHng of powder, q tuft of hair

Across the Seas They Call

4 CROSS the seas from every war-torn nation in
n the Allied cause there comes the call for Red
Cross help
It comes from soldiers who have grimly faced the
cleaning bayonet steel and poison gas and screaming
shells, and who now lie with parching thrOats and
thrObbing wounds.
tcomes from soldiers sick with fever, pneumonia,
tuberculosis.
1t comes from soldiers crippled, mutilated,
blinded who can no longer fight and must be taught
and trained for useful occupations.
1t comes from the underfed, shivering, helpless
prisoners in the German prison camps.
It comes from little children, orphaned home
less slowly starving day by day, by tens and tens of
thousands
It comes from mothers in the pillaged zones of
war whose hearts and souls have been made numb
with horror.
From all these millions of suffering human beings
there comes across the seas the call for help-help
that because of the frightful burdens placed upon
our Allies cannot be giUen unless be brOOided BY the
american Red Cross
Another hundred million is needed to carry on"
What will Americas answer be?

y Amsterdam, Feb. 6.-The German

from the German capital.
Deadlock at Brest- Litovsk.
London, Feb. o.--The negotiations
at Brest-Litovsk have been broken
off, the correspondent at Petrogad of
the Exchange Telegraph company
says he is informed, :
Reports from .Brest-Litovsk in the
last few days indicated that dead
lock had been reached on the ques-
ton of the Ukraine! After the Ukrai-
nian delegates had almost completed
an agreement with the Germans and
Austrians for separate peace the
Bolsheviki sent to Brest-Litovsk new
delegates, who, they said, were the
real representatives of Ukraine.
The representatives of the central
powers refused to recognize the new
delegates, who represent. the soldiers
and workmen's deputies of Ukraine,
whereas the first delegation was Sc
lected by the Ukraihian Rada.
This situation was considered at
the crown council in Berlin on Mon
day, after which the German and Aus
tro-Hungarian foreign ministers left
for Brest-Litovsk.

BAKER UNPREPARED.
But the principal point Of the whole
controversy--the question of where
the army is going to get ships to
transport 100000 men to France
this year--was left untouched, partly
because Secretary Baker did not have
the detailed figures to show the COM
mittee on what basis he made his as
sertion and partly because the com.
mittee got into a squabble over
whether it would be proper to have
the sect stary Of war disclose the fig.
ures in public. s....4..
!. The. upshot. al il. was that the ques-
ton Of ships was left to be presented
in detailed exact statements to the
committee in secret session tomor-
row and the cross-examination went
on to other subjects Of a general ma
ture.

ity for-the success or failure of the

was put on labor today by Charles
Piez, vice president and general man
ager of the Emergency Fleet corpor-
alton, in an appeal for shipyards
workers.
"The shipping board has the neces-
sary yards, the materials and the
money" lie said.
"All that is lacking is a spirit in
the nation that will send a quarter OF
a million American mechanics into
the yards to give the best and most
efficient work"
The fact that shipyards are work
ing only one shift six days a week was
characterized by Mr.. Piez as "inon-
strous."
'If we are to keep ahead of the
submarine campaign" said he, I'VE

While this is good news so far as
coal conservation is concerned, Col
ponel Welsh points out that there is
grave danger of unprecedented floods
this. spring.
The whole country is covered with
blanket of Snow of great depth" he
says, "and the rivers and other
streams are frozen up to depth in
some places of three feet. Frozen
water of enormous volume is on the
land and the waterways that should
carry the surplus water off are frozen,
SO that there Is no hope of break
ing up of the ice in time TO do much
good.
"The best we can hope for is that
the warm weather will start in the
south and get the streams thawed out
before the great thaw further north
begins. If we have big thaw, or #
the thaw starts in the north before

show the committee what grounds he
had for believing there were ship.

Secretary Baker replied he did not

that his statement was made on fig
ures which had been prepared by ex-
perts who took in the information at
the disposal of he shipping board IS
we'll as what ships might be available
from neutra. and foreign sources.
The secretary made plain that he
was not counting wholly on American
ships to transport the troops.
Original Statement Unfortunate.
Secretary Baker did say, however,
that probably the form of his original
statement to the committee, which
has been mad the basis of attack.
was unfortunate in that it expressed
his general opinion of a broad situa.

"The misfortune for me, if | may

nation lay in details that ought to

ton of Present Problems.
tBy Associated Presa.l

Washington, Feb. o.---As the sen
ate examination Of Secretary Baker
turned to the question of supplies for
the army today it became apparent
from the nature of his replies to ques-
tions that he and President Wilson
had been discussing some form of fur
ther reorganization of the War de-
partment which they hoped : would
satisfy those who are pressing the
bill for director of munitions.
1t was indicated earlier in the day
also in other official quarters that the
president and the secretary of war
hoped by a further move to meet
the demand for the bill.
Would Free Wilson's Hands.
"I have a feeling" Mr.. Baker said
in reply to Senator Wadsworth, that
legislation that would free the presi.
depts hands and allow him to trans
fer functions and coordinate the
needs of the departments as they arise
would be the best answer to the diff
culties. 4
"All departments are constantly
growing. .,..
II am, as you know, continually
creating new agencies and sometimes
when in doubt have TO study the stat
utes carefully to learn how far my au-
thority goes. If the president were
simply authorized to reorganize, re-
coordinate and transfer functions as
he sees fit we could go TO him and Sc
cure the necessary orders as were
deemed desirable" ".
Senator Wadsworth said he re-
ferred particularly to statutes placing
innumerable checks and balances on
expenditure of army funds.
1T might perhaps be wise," Secre-
tary Baker continued, during the pc
Rod OF the war to authorize the pres
ident to suspend any restrictive stat
ute that might be found to impede
efficiency.
"I'm not sur that it is wise not TO
have these checks and counter baf-
ances. We are spending very large
sums Of money and it seems to be
wise to check expenditures very care

TROOPS IN FRANCE.
Mr.. Tardieu made the state
nent also that there are ir
France today more American troops
than comprised the American army
at the time the United States entered
the war; at that time, he said, the
AMERICAN army contained about 2l2,'
600 officers and men.
The French official spoke at din.
ner which was part of New York's
celebration of the Jour De L'Alliance
Francaise, which was observed
throughout the United States and
Canada today, the anniversary OF the
treaty between France and the Amer.
lean colonies in ITS. Jules J. JUS
serand, the French ambassador, also
was guest of honor.
Asserting that Secrecy ought to
be thing of the past, because our
iemocracies want to know in order
10 will,"' Mr.. NTardieu said that lust
appreciation of the results achieved
by America in its war preparations
"is a sti1nulant for effort and nobody
has the right to refuse TO the Amer
ican people this stimulant." The com
missioner reviewed the nations ac-
complishments and outlined what
France had done in the way OF man
ufacturing ordnance, both for the
United States and for frances other
allies.
Enormous Munitions Output.
"We have in the line" he said,
about $4,000 guns of every caliber,
and every day more than 100000
shells are turned ont by Cur -feetesisss
To get those guns, TO produce thcse
shells, we created an industry which
did not exist before the war and
which has enabled us not only, to arm
ourselves but also to arm our allies.
"Without speaking of what we
manufacture for you and that is sew
.ral hundred guns month, we have
during the past three years given, to
our allies in Europe 1,35O,O0O rifles,
$4,000 automatic rifles, 10000 machine
guns, 800,0O0,000 cartridges, 'I,Soo
guns and 4,750 aeroplapes. ,.o
The adoption without any nlodih-
cation of our various types OF guns
would certainly have saved some time
70 the benefit of American production
and some delays may be the conse-
uuence of the improvements you are
looking for, always, and rightly at
that, aiming. at better results.
) Need Raw Materials.
"But as we have agreed, it is under
stood that you should supply and
transport to France the necessary
raw materials and we will under such
conditions be able, in France, to de-
liver to you before July !, enough
guns to thoroughly equip 20 of your
divisions. The situation therefore is
completely safe in that respect"
Mr.. Tardieu described Americas
military effort as wonderful and
snlendid" and asserted it had been "a
surprise to the enemy" 81 have CO.
operatd for nearly 10 months, hour
sy hour, with every part OF your war
trganization," he said. What you
Nave done is magnificent, worthy OF
your allies, worthy of yourselves"
