Efficiency Measure Is An
nounced AT Meeting OF
Executive Comm.
ELIMINATES DANGER OF
AN UNBALANCED SUPPLY
Big Organization To Assign
Quotas For Local Bodies
To Fill

"Rcd Cross workers will be required
to do as soldiers--thc other kind of
soldiers do and to follow instruc-
tions," said S. G. Dowds, chairman of
the local chapter of the Red Cross at
the meeting of the executive commit
tee of the Knox county chapter Wed.
ncsday evening following the an.
nOuncement that the national organ.
ization has altered the method of sup.
plying materials to the chapters for
manufacture into finished articles.
In the future the national organiza-
tiOn expects to direct the work of
each individual chapter Each chap
ter will be supplied certain materials
with instructions to make them into
specific articles. Fer example-onc
chapter may be given yarn with in
structiOns to make socks for the sol.
diers, while another may have the task
of making surgical dressings, etc.
This ruling, 1t is explained. is made
necessary to prevent the manufacture
of an ovcrsupply of certain articles
and at the same time leaving dearth
of other equally necessary ones.
STEP TOWARD EFFICIENCY
The new order was hailed by the 10.
cal executive committee as one more
step towards efficiency. eliminating.
as it does. the possibility that socks
would be too plentiful and pajamas for
wounded soldiers too few. Under the
new system the national organization
will be able to anticipate its needs
and distribute the material SO that a
constant supply of each article needed
will be available.
Another step towards efficient work
to the further advantage of the wound.
ed soldiers Is the order forbidding in.
dividual chapters from entering the
open market to purchase their raw
materials. The .natioral organization
proposes to secure all necessary raw
material through close cooperation
with the government. getting the
goods at the lowest possible price, and
to supply each chapter from this sup
ply.
This rule, it was pointed out i'm a
letter from headquarters to Mrs.
James X. Lyman, secretary of the 10.
cal chapter, eliminates the delays I'm
delivery of goods and excessive prices
charged where goods are secured by
individual chapters. In addition. the
new system will operate to enable the
organization to secure larger supply
of material. by stabilizing the market
ITO ASSIGN QUOTAS
"Henceforth," one paragraph of the
letter reads: Definite quotas of gar.
mcnts and knitted articles will be sent
to chapters. Chapters will be requir.
cd to produce certain number of
certain articles. no more and no less,
and they will be expected to confint
their production to such articles as is
assigned them by the division. The
division has received and will distri
butte presently It's assignment of hos
pital garments and knitted articles. AS
signments of surgical dressings and
hospital supplies will be made later.
Other matters of routine nature
were taken up at the meeting. which
was attended by Dr. Allen and Mr.
Carlisle of Gambler.

Proper Food for Weak stomachs

The proper food for one man may
be all wrong for another. Everyone
should be adopt a diet suited to his
age and occupation. Those who have
weak stomachs need to be especial
ly careful and should eat slowly and
masticate their food thoroughly. 1t
is also important that they keep their
bowels regular. When they become
constipated or when they feel dull
and stupid after eating, they should
take Chamberlains Tablets to
strengthen the stomach and move the
bowels. They are easy to take and
pleasant In effect.

ATTACKS ON WAR PROGRESS
WILL NOT GO UNANSWERED
Expected to Disclose New
Facts, If Col. Roosevelt or Senator
Chamberlain Makes More Charges

There was every indication today
ton of letting attacks upon progress
in war-making go unanswered.
II either Senator Chamberlain in his
address to the Senate or Col. Roosevelt
in his speech at the National Press
Club this afternoon prefers any new
charges of inef1ciency or maladminis-
tration 1t is likely that there will be
replies going more into details of the
achievements in getting Americas
Army under way than was contained in
the brief rejoinder of President Wilson
to Senator Chamberlain's New York
speech last Saturday night.
1t was stated positively at the White
House that President Wilson is not
ing upon the forthcoming Senate de-
bate over the munitions director and
war cabinet measures. The White
House attitude is that the proposed
legislation already is defeated. and
that the President, having expressed his
views. can trust to his party support
ers to leave him a free field in the
performance of his duties as COM
manderi in chief of the Army and Navy.
But administration officials are keep
ing in close touch with the situation
at the Capitol: like wise they are watch
ing Col. Roosevelts activities. and they
are making every effort to sidetrack
the politics which have broken upon
Washington like thunderstorm within
the last few days.
The President and Secretary of War
Baker conferred more than an hour last
evening. George Creel also was at the
White House, a call which generally
portends a statement of some sort. It
was regarded as probable that If any
answer is to be made to what Senator
Chamberlain has to say that Secretary

FREE COAL FOR POOR
Families in West Washington to
Benefit by Morris Hahn's
Philanthropy.

Through the philanthropy of Morris
Hahn. 120 poor families In West Wash
ington will. within the next few days,
receive each a quarter of a ton Of coal.
Under an arrangement made with
Fuel Administrator Weaver. Mr.. Hahn
was enabled to make an initial pur-
chase of thirty tons of anthracite for
free distribution. Capt. Sullivan. COM
manding the third police precinct, has
been asked to take charge of the work,
and his men Will report on deserving
cases.
The distribution is to occur in the
territory within the jurisdiction of the
West End Citizens Association. which
extends from 18th street to Rock creek
and from the Boundary to the river.
There is to be no distinction as to race,
color or religion. Families most in
need will be served first. and Mr. Hahn
hopes later to obtain more coal to be
distributed in the same way. The coal
will be delivered a Mr.. Hahn's expense
to those whom Capt. Sullivan reports
should receive It.

Baker may make it. and. in doing so. he
also may disclose further information
about the number of troops abroad,
which the President is reported to have
told senators now is greater than the
original program called for.
There were reports today that Sec
retary Baker was preparing to dis
close some achievements which hitherto
have not been made public because of
their possible value as information
to the enemy. But there was no ofti-
cial confirmation of this purpose.
No direct reply is expected from any
source to anything Col. Roosevelt may
say. Secretary Baker himself has set
the example in this regard in declining
to be drawn into controversy with
the former President. Officially. he is
being ignored. Personally he is be-
ing watched with great care by public
men in Washington.
Col. Roosevelt's address this after
noon was awaited with even greater
interest because of his silence of
twenty-four hours. SO far as newspa per
interviews are concerned. He stated
shortly after his arrival that he was not
greatly concerned about Senator Stones
attack upon him in the Senate Monday
but that he might answer it when he
got around to 1t. He has not yet done
so. Today he sent word to all callers
except numerous members of Congress-
public men and personal friends that
Col Roosevelt cannot see newspaper
men until 5 o'clock this afternoon,
when he will have something to say to
them at the Press Club"
Early efforts to ignore the colonel by
standpatters of his own party dwindled
away and he seems to have taken the
reins as leader of both his own party
members and democrats who believe the
war preparation has been marked by un-
due delay. Just what tack he will take
in view of the practical certainty of the
defeat Of the Chamberlain bills, which
he supported, may be brought out in his
speech today
