CALL FOR A REORGANIZATION.

From two of the strongest support CTS of the administration come these cautious comments on the ordnance investigation. The New York World says:
 ''It seems evident at this time that the ordnance department might have made little better record in some respects last summer, but at the be- ginning of the war there were many questions to consider The one important question raised by the testimony of General Crozier is whether the head of the ordnance de- partment from this time on should not be civilian manufacturer rather than an army officer. The expert work has all been done. The types of guns have been decided upon. It is now matter of industrial direc- tion and energy rather than of mill tary judgment, and Congress could profitably consider the matter of re- organizing the ordnance department, putting all this vast work of making guns and munitions under the direc- tion of competent civilian admins trator to be selected by the President. Great Britain finally came to it, and the United States will probably have to come to it sooner or later"
 The New York Times ends review of the situation with this paragraph:
 ''It is reassuring to know that Gen. eral Crozier could answer for the equipment of our troops in France, but he admitted that on this side the men in training would not have the most important things That is to say arms and guns (and with the as- sistance of England and France) un- til next summer. Obviously there is a good deal to come out not pleasant to read in this important investiga- tion, but it should lead to co-ordina- tion, unselfish duty, and effort by all concerned, and dispatch. Let all the facts come out and the responsibility be fixed, even if some officials have to retire in the interest of efficiency and capacity"
 These comments are selected be- cause they represent the most friend ly possible attitude toward the admin istration. They indicate the feeling that exists without regard to politics that reorganization is called for Kansas City Times.
