WOUlD HAVE AN ADMINISTRATORS
 FUR MUNITIONS
Willard and Baruch Advise Capitalization of War
 Buying.

Warhin9ton, Jan. l.. Ohc-man con lrol of all war supplies in the United States was advocated today before the senate military committee by Daniel r. Willard, chairman of tlc war in duslrios board. and hy Bernard M. Earueh. head of the bOart's raw mate rial division. Roth favored creating what virtually would be q munitions administrator with full power, direct
 lN responsible to and securing his all- th0rity from the president, but not q member of the cabinet to control procurement and distribution of war supplies, Including those of the army. the navy, ship building and the allies.
 Neither Mr. Willard nor Mr Baruch favored 2 separate department of munilions with a cabinet officer at
 ls hean, the plan proposed by Senator Fhamborlain, chairman of the com mttee. and opposed by President Will son and Secretary Baker. Mr. Willard endorsed inc war department and gov clnmcnt supply purchasing rCorgani- 2@tion plans, submitted last week by Secretary Baker, though he said it. does not go far enough in ccntralizing authority and is weak in reliance upon voluntary cooperation. Nr. Baluch favored even more highly centralized authority over munitions in an in diNidual, advocating a plan broader than that employed in England. He frankly disagreed with Secretary P&iier regarding the reorganization proposed by the latter. and insisted tha individunl control is essential.

SOUTHEASTERN DEPART
MENT SECOND OVER TOP
IN WAR. WORK CAMPAIGN

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 21.-The South
eastern department went over the top
in the united warswork campaign with
flying colors ard enjoys the distinc-
ton of being the second department
in the country to oversubscribe it's
quota. The southern department was
the first to pass it's goal.
Indications were that when final re-
ports were received, the total sum
subscribed to the war work campaign
in the Southeastern department will
be between $9,000,000 and $10,000,00
The extending of the campaign ena-
bled the department to go beyond all
expectations. The total amount raised
will be more than fifty per cent
over-subscription.
On a basis of $170,500,000 as the
amount to be raised nationally, the
quota of the Southeastern department
Twas s6,s20,006, and this mark was
reached and passed on Saturday, to

sons concerned. svs

! AKENTUCKY GIRL AT TARPON SPRINGS RINGS

] date stores and banks-even the rail-
way officials of Tarpon Springs are
polite, which is saying much at this
time.
THE Kentucky Grip tramped one
day into the fragrant pine woods to
a point where Hidden Lake" lay like
Ia mirror, completely concealed by
tropic growth, yet rejecting sky, and.
palms and moss-draped, live oaks.
Lohg-legged crane, blue and white
Heron stood motionless and furtively
watched her. Mocking birds sang in
low caressing notes; and even the fish
leapt out of the silver water to see
what was going on in Gods beautiful
world above. She was on her way to
Ia neighboring orange grove for tan
gerines, and passed trees laden with
fruit, while thousands of bushels lay
upon the ground, swept off by the re-
cent tornado. This grove belonged TO
a little woman whose business ability
would make many suffragette take
off their hats, and yet her enterprise
is sweetly seasoned with generosity
for hospitals and friends have freely
shared the bounty Of her groves.
And the rowing! She wanted to be
out in the open boats all the time.
Out in the glorious sunshine and salt
air of Florida! By a steady pull on
the oars ''The Kentucky Girl" learned
to go for hours out toward the hori-
zon and the Gulf.
On another day she visited the
sponge market, which is a world
famous industry. The Greeks go out
in picturesque sail boats and dive in
the gulf for sponges, Buyers come
from many points to bid on the cargo,
and that morning an offer of $4,000
was called for one lot.
When the Greeks go sailing off on
the gulf in their boats, which are still
built upon ancient models, as their
graceful masts are seen where the
blue sky and waters meet, one is, re-
minded of the sloop upon which Co.
lumbus sailed to discover America.

this morning that over four thousand
dollars, which puts Tarpon Springs
over the top again, had been raised in
the recent war work drive. He also
promised to furnish The Leader with
all additional names or subscribers in
time for publication today-that is all
that he has available-and he requests

tell him how much and to whom they
contributed SO he can give them pro-

HAVE FAITH.

A great financier has just said that
"the war with it's cost in men and dol
lars will bring reactions and read
justments with possible economic de-
moralization and depression, and pos
sible panics." To this it might be
added that the world finished its job
of hunting down and bringing to time
bandit nations. Ne writer r'prophet

are ahead of US. However, we are liv-
ing in a day in which principles of
right and justice are triumphant. In
