result, the ffty-odd registrars TODAY

AIR SECRETARY
STILL OPPOSED
Creation Of Separate Port
folio Fought by War
Department.

The War Department is holding
firm IN its opposition to the creation
Of a department of the air. or any
other measure that would take away
from the War Department any of its
authority or control in aeronauttcs as
related TO the war.
Many Senators, and especially mem
bers Of the Military Affairs Commit
tees. have advocated the establish
r1ent of a separate control over the
production and operation OF hghting
machines Of the air. and in the last
report of the committee a strong rec
oTnmendatiOn was made for the crea-
ton of a Department OF the Air to
rank with the War and Navy Depart
ments and with a Cabinet seat for
its head.
Senator New, OF Indiana. embodied
these recommendations in a bill to
create a Department OF the Air and
the bill was referred to the War De-
partment for an opinion or recon-
mendatiOn- Acting Secretary of War
Benedict CrowelI. in a letter to Sem
ator Chamberlain, opposes the meas
ure on the ground that the principle
is wrong. and that the War Depart
ment hss in effect accomplished the
desired objects by reorganization He
wrote.
Principle Wrong.
AS far as the War Department Is
concerned, the organization of a de-
partment OF the air. separate from
the War Department and contem-
plating military activities not un-
der the control of the Secretary of
War, is believed to be essentially
wrong in principle
The President has nominated and
the Senate confirmed the appoint
ment Of John d. Ryan as Second
Assistant Secretary of War, who is
director of the air service for the
War Department, by placing in his
hands and under the supervision of
The Secretary of War and the Presl-
lent the complete control of our air
service. 1t is believed the essential
points aimed at in the bill in ques-
tion are covered in the best possible
manner"
1t is not probable that a serious
effort Will be made in the Senate to
pass a bill creating a department Of
the air at this time in face of de-
.ermined opposition from the war
Department and the administration.

have so altered the situation thpt
some legislation is reeded to counter
balance the effect of the raising Of
the rates
rs the situation was explained to
the committee. either one Of two
avenues of legislation was open to
the Treasury Department to remove
the tendency to drpress the bond
values which the new tax rates
would have. These were: 1, to in
crease the interest rate of the
liberty bonds. or. 2. raise the ex-
emptiOn so that a large portion of
the income held by any one person,
firm or corporation might be free
from the taxes The Treasury
adopted the second as the best
economic policy. inasmuch as too
many complications would be in
volved in any plan to increase the
interest rates on the bonds.

Other sections Of the bill pro-
vide that $1,000 of war savings
certificates of each issue NAV be
held by one person. authorize the
Secretary of the Treasury to deposit
money collected as war profits taxes

the same manner as money from in
come and excess profits taxes are
deposited. authorize arrangements

Foreign exchange. empower the
President to prohibit the melting

NOTE
SENT MR.. HAYS
Wilson's Secretary Sends
Reply to Charges Upon
Stand Of Democrats.

Joseph p. Tumuity, the Presidents
aeeretary, and Will T. Hays. chair
man of the Republican National COM
mittee, excha nged notes" yesterday
Mr. Hays denied that he had said
the Democratic leaders in Washing
ton were ready to do anything in
their power to perpetuate their party
In office, and wound up his communi-
cation with plea that both major
parties forget partisanship for the pc
riod of the war. Mr.. Tumulty replied
to this by citing a number of In
stances wherein Republican leaders
have lately brought the subject Of
partisanship into the sharpest play,
by demanding the election Of a Re
publican Congress and Senate, and
the defeat of members of their own
party, who have voted for the Presi-
dent In the conduct of the war. Nr.
Tumulty said:
Letter to Mr.. Hays.
September II. 1918.
My dear Mr.. Hays:
l am very glad indeed to have your
disclaimer. Although I observed
In one of the Washington morning
papers an acknowledgements by
Republican Chairman Motter, of
Kansas. that he had given to the
press in that state the interview to
which I called your attention. 1
prefer to accept your own explana-
ton.
The general trend of your letter,
however. still leaves doubt in my
mind as to the responsiveness OF some
Of the Republican managers to the
clearly implied desire of the Ameri-
can people to keep politics out of
the war While the whole thought
of President Wilson has been given
to the successful prosecution of the
Republican party, including yourself
and Senator Penrose. have been max
ing ferevent arguments in favor of a
restoration of the old political con-
troll of the nation. I have in mind
your obviously partisan statement in
the New York Times of a short time
ago wherein you said:
our coming political activity Is not
to be lessened. On the contrary, what
we want in this country is not less
politics. but more attention to poll
tics"
Also I recall recent speech you
made in Philadelphia in which you
said:
We will bring the government back
to the limitations and principles Of
the Constitution in time of peace and
establish policies which will again
bind up the wounds of war. renew our
prosperity. administer the affairs OF
the government with the greatest
economy, enlarge our strength at
home and abroad, prevent the fur
ther spread of the Socialistic tendency
Of the times towards Federal owner
ship of all the creation and distribu-
ton of wealth as a panacea for all
the real and fancied ills of society
and put the nations feet once more
firmly OH the path of progress"

MILLION ARMY
READY ON TIME

Telegraphic advices received from
all sections of the country during
late yesterday afternoon and early
last evening were so completely re-
assuring that by the time the regis
tration boards had closed Gen.
Crowder and his aides had left their
Offices IN absolute, confidence that
Gen. March would have his army of
100000 with a safe reserve, in stipu-
lated time.
The elaborate machinery organized
to record the country's man power
had worked without a hitch. While
definite returns are naturally lacking
tonight and are not expected to be-
gin to reach here until tomorrow.
Gen. Crowder believes the final count
will verify his original estimate of
130OoO00 registrants.
A noteworthy feature of the day
was the absence Of any report of dis
turbance or a breakdown in the regis
tration machinery In any part of the
country Everywhere. 1t was an
nounced. the registration proceeded
with extraordinary regularity, The
5000 local boards are Under instruc-
tions to report tonight directly TO
the AdJutant Generals of their States,
who will report to their respective
Governors. The returns to Washing
ton will he made by the Governors.
