Senate May Want to Pass on Men.

In the provision that there be three
distinguished citizens Of demonstrated
ability" in the proposed war cabinet
some friends Of the administration
sensed a covert effort to give the Sem
ate power to pass upon the caliber of
the men the President would appoint
should the measure be passed.
In the coming to Washington of for
mer President Roosevelt tonight or to-
morrow officials see the prospect Of an
added factor in the forthcoming clash
over the war-directing agency.
Col. Roosevelt was speaker Satur-
day night at the dinner at which Sena-
tor Chamberlain and Representative
Kahn of California strongly urged the
creation of the war cabinet, and Col
Roosevelt referred to their addresses
in this language:
1 wish. Senator Chamberlain and
Representative Kahn. to bear testimony
to the gratitude every American must
feel for you two personally and for
men of your type who are standing for
the interests Of the United States alb
solutely without regard to distinction

"No," replied Mr.. McAdoo: but ! DO
believe it will be impossible to turn
the roads uack to their owners unoer
exactly the same system by which tney
took them over. There must be some
form of government control.
senator Watson asked il the rail-
roads, under government control. would
not continue to operate under tneir olo

Non-Partisanship Discussed.

Regarding criticism that President
wilson has not utilized the services of
noted republicans. including Roose-
welt. Gen. Leonard Wood, EIihu Root
former President Taft and Charles n
hughes. Senator Stone cited, as proof
OF the non-partisanship of President
wilson. the appointment of Mr.. Root as
head of the American mission to Rus
sfa and the recent appointment of
former Chairman Wilcox of the repub-
Hean national committee as an assis-
tant to Director of Railroads McAdoo.
Mr.. Root frequently has been con.
seefed by both the President and Secre-
tary OF State" he said. Moreover the
President sent Mr.. Root at the head of
Q great mission to Russia.
While he was at Petrograd and Mos
COW we read cabled columns Of glow
ing description of the mighty work he
was doing there. We were led to he
lieve that he had settled for thu good
of his country and tho allies the whole
Russian situation. I would not saw
anything to discount this patriotic
service in the face of great difficulties
but evidently these descriptions were
overdrawn.
Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Hughes I pass by
In respectful silence" he added.

The WILCOX Appointment.

Referring to Mr.. Willcox's recent an
pointment, Senator Stone said:
This was made notwithstanding yery
recent political utterances and activi-
ties of Mr.. Wilcox. He ia the ho.or,
friend OF Mr.. Hughes. 1t might well he
eatn that in way he represents Mr.,
Hughes in the administration. This an
pointment does not look as if the ad-
mlnistration was discriminating
against republicans on account of poll
tics
Gen. Wood, Senator Stone declared
mas been continually called on for
work of great responsibility.
His services and usefulness have NOT
been ignored" he said 1T only so han
pened tnat the President and War De-
Partment oid not see proper to put Gen
Wood In supreme command Of ouy
forces. That is the substance Of the
criticism. Gen. Pershing is his equal
and also republican as well as Wood !.
