COMPLETE VINDICATION OF THE
CHAMBERLAIN PLAN.

Last January, after Senator Cham
berlain of Oregon had told an audi
ence in New York that the organiza-
ton of the war department had broken
down, the president came promptly to
the defense of his secretary of war,
whom he called lone of the ablest
public officials | have ever known"
In that statement Mr.. Wilson made
this assertion: Nothing helpful or
likely to speed or facilitate the war
tasks of the government has come out
of such criticism and investigation"
The criticism and investigation re-
ferred to by the president had been
under way for some time prior to Sen
ator Chamberlain's charge of failure.
The senate committee on military af-
fairs, of which the democratic senator
from Oregon is chairman, had been in
curing into health conditions in army
camps, into shortages of clothing and
shelter, of rifles, machine guns and
field artillery pieces. 1t had become
apparent, not only to Mr.. Chamber
lain. but to a great many other mem
bers of congress, that our war pro-
gram was being held back by the or
%ganization of the war department, with
it's diffusion of authority, its lack OF
responsible heads under Secretary Ba-
ker, its deplorable need of centrallza-
ton.
What Chamberlain wanted, and what
he tried to secure by action of con-
gress, was a genuine, thorough reor-
ganization, not the tinkering, patch
work kind that Baker was just then
beginning to undertake and that now
a year after our entrance into the war.
is beginning to produce a degree OF
efficiency. He wanted some sort OF
ministry of munitions, with one man
a cabinet officer, in charge of the
mobilization of all war supplies.
But the president and Mr.. Baker
were immovably opposed to any minis
try of munitions, and their opposition
continued when other reforms were
urged, among them a plan for IN ad

ministrator with broad powers under
the president. and a proposal that a
war cabinet be formed, composed of
three distinguished citizens of dem
onstrated executive ability" Mr.. Ba-
ker was satisfied with his department
as it stood, and the president had abb
solute confidence in Mr.. Baker.
Since, however, continued agitation
for reforms was strengthened by the
unmistakable evidence of facts, the
war department has. bit by bit, been
recognized. There have been sweep
ing changes in the general staff. Stet-
tinius is, as assistant secretary of war,
something not too remote from min
lister of munitions. Schwab has au-
thority as we'll as responsibility for
the building of ships. Ryan is in
charge of aircraft. May it not be sug-
gested that here are three distin-
guished citizens of demonstrated ex-
ecutive ability?"
Furthermore, the war program is,
though at rather a late date, appre-
ciably gathering speed. Criticism and
investigation have not ceased since
Senator Chamberlain last winter made
his famous charge. And the president
is no longer inclined to insist that
nothing helpful can come out of such
Observation-Disclosures.

TREMENDOUS AIR BATTLES
PORTEND NEW ADVANCE

In the past years of the war a per-
iod of extraordinary activity by the
aerial squadrons of the ~contending
armies in France has been considered
as an indication hat events were
rapidly shaping themselves for an Of
fensive by one side or the other. AT
the present moment the most notable
feature of the war situation is the re-
markable work of airmen in various
sectors where a German attack is
looked for.
This activity has not been restrict
ed to the actual battle area, but far
back of each front there have been
daring raids. The Rhine cities are
being frequently bombed, while Paris
has again been in danger of a new
German attack from the air.
American aviators have borne a
prominent part in this fighting. In
the L%uneville and Toul sectors they
have given a magnificent account OF
themselves. while further north, and
even in the defense of London, they
have demonstrated their fighting ca
pacity.
The German plans for a resumption
OF the offensive in France have oeen
seriously hampered by the udden
blows of the allies here and there
along the front. The Germans have
been forced back at numerous points
and new lines which may be more
easily defended have been establish
ed by the allies.
The Aemricans on their sector
have given the enemy no rest. Ine
artillery has battered the German
lines night and day, while the intan-
try have raided the German outpost
positions and have proved themselves
CAPABLE of outwitting and outighting
the enemy. General P~ershings men
have o several hot fights with the
foe and have captured prisoners. A
night gas attack was loosed on the
Germans by the Americans neal Ioul'
three waves of shells drench1ng a
wooded position of the enemy Win
poisonous fumes.
The French, too, have been at Work
in various sectors, particularly IN tue
Somme region. They have gained
ground here and there at points where
positions of tactical value were
wrested from the Germans.
Further north, the British front
has been fairly quiet, with tremen-
dous bursts of artillery fire coming at
intervals. The German official state
ment says that British attacks at var
rious points we're repulsed.

U-Boat Makes Nightly Dare to Z. 5
KarshiD.

AS a grim piece of German humor,
the Wireless Age tells of a wireless
message received almost every night
by a United States destroyer in Euro
pean waters. The radiogram says:
my position is degrees north
and = degrees west. Come and get
me. I'm waiting for you"
The message is always signed Hans
Rose" the name of a commander who
took a German submarine into New
port, R. l., two years ago.

ceeded rapidly to the position indicat-
ed, but found nothing. No matter

GERMAN NAVAL LEADERS

Say Attempt to Interfere With BIT,
fish Cross Channel Transport Would
Be Suicide

Suicide is the word used by the
German naval authorities to describe
what it would mean for the kaiser's
navy to attempt to interfere with the
transport of allied troops and NUM-
ions across the English channel.
According to German papers con
siderable irritation has been caused
in Germany by the rapidity with
which England has been throwing
men into France. and criticism has
been directed at the admiralty. In a
vigorous defense, Rear Admiral Karl
Hollweg points out that the activity
of the German nav is subject to geo
graphical limitations.
"A voluntary attempt to remove
these limitations" he argues, would

TRepublican A. p. Leased Wire

AMSTERDAM, July, 5.-Until well in June of the present year the gravest fears were cnterta<ced in Berlin for the failure of German crops owing to the drought in April and May. writes Dr. DieCkuann, in the Taeglische Rundschau. but later the change of weather brought an improvement so that without exaggerated expectations the new cereal year beginning August 1. promises to be better than the last one.
 Last years failure of the fodder crop. the writer adds, caused consid erable shortage of livestock which wili oetrimentally influence cultivation in the coming year.
 Short on Potash
 Dr. Dieckmann next points out that potash supplies to German farmers, owing to the shortage of labor and the difficulties of transportation are near ly 100000 carloads in arrears. Yet large quantities of potash have been sent 10 the Ukraine. he says, and he thinks this is the worst possible policy because Germany must. depend upon foreign grain in the coming year. It is also doubtful whether the Ukraine can help much as Austria has put in a claim for a large part of the Ukra- inian grain crops.
 The writer insists that "a full pound of flesh" should be eXacted from Ru mania. whose crops must be subjected to the "strictest control Turning to the meat supplies, pr. Dieckmann fears that next year will bring but little improvement. He says majority of the breeders declare Germany's stocks of cattle and pigs will take ten years to recover their i normal size.
 Germans, he concludes, are turning | in greater numbers to vegetarianism this being conclusively evident in the multiplication of kitchen gardens, es- pecially in the vicinity of large cities
