GARFIELD
TELLS COMMITTEE WHY.
Imperative Because Of Fuel and Trans
portation Crisis.

Washington. - Fuel Administrator
Garfield underwent a two hours grill
ing at the hands Of the senate COM
mittee investigating the coal shortage,
which called him before it to explain
his reason for issuing the order shu;-
ting down industries by denying them
the use of coal.
At the termination of the hearing
the committee decided to make no
formal report but Chairman Reed
made speech in the senate dec1arin {
Doctor Garfield had. not satisfied him
of the necessity for such drastic action.
The line Of questions asked by other
me-oN"rs OF the committee indicated
that they, too. took the same view.
Doctor Garfield declared the order
was made imperative because of the
fuel and transportation crisis If coal
were not cut off to all Industries for
a period many OF them. he said, would
be forced to close anyhow and the
government in closing down every.
thing intended to treat all alike

Newspaper Article Leads Him to
Seek AlAittance to West
Point.
SISTER Tells OF HIS YOUTH
Kept Appointment to Academy Secret
From FamiIy-Head Of Expedition
ary Force Was Of Quiet, Serious
Temperament as Boy.

Lincoln, Neb.-It was a newspaper
article which diverted John J. PershinS
from his purpose to become school
teacher and started him upon The mill
tary career which led to his appoint
ment as general in the United States
army and commander Of the American
expeditionary force in France. The
story is told by General Pershing's SIS
tiers, Mrs. Butler and Miss May Per-
shing, who are residents of Lincoln.
It was while General Perslling and
his sister, now Mrs. Butler, were at
tending the Missouri State Normal
school at Krksvlle, Mo-, that his at
tention one day was called to >newspa-
per announcement that examinations
were to be held for appointment to the
Yves. Point Military academy. Young
Pershing asked his sisters advice as
to whether he should try for the ap-
pointment and she advised him to 90
so. Then followed short season OF
intensive study in preparation.
In few days he was called before
the examining board and, although inn
properly prepared, received the high
est mark among the contestants and
soon afterward was notified of his ap-
pointment. Up to this time his action

had been a secret between his sister
and himself and it remained so until
he was ready to start for West Point.
Assumed Responsibility Early.
As boy General Pershing, his Sis
ters say, was of a quiet, serious tenn
permanent, assuming, as the Oldest OF
six children, many Of the responsible
ties of the family.
"John," Mrs. Butler said, although
of a quiet disposition, liked good
time and enjoyed fun as much as any
one. Yet when he started anything ne
wanted to get the result, and he gen.
eralIy attained that object before he
gave it up.''
After having been graduated from
West Point and having served with
General Miles in Il campaign in New
Mexico against the Indian chief Ge-
ronimo, Pershing was stationed as n''l-
itary instructor at the University g.
Nebraska. His friends there remem-
ber him as a fun-loving young m%a'
whc enjoyed music and dancing, r&:-
ties and other social activities and VINO
appreciated good joke.
"Old Jack Best" the veteran trainer
81 the university, remembered Per
shing Intimately. "He was one of tbG
finest men that I ever worked with.
said Mr.. Best. 'It's true he was mighty
strict with his work, but the results he
got were so good that everybody ne
worked with loved him for it. When
he was here we had regiment the
university could be proud Of.
Usually he was mighty dignihed IN
his work, but be had way Of getting
next to new men," continued Mr.. Best.
"The first time 1 ever saw him ne
walked right up to ME, slapped me OF,
the shoulder and said: We'll, Jack,
they tell me you got along mighty we'll
with my predecessor. If yot did, l am
darned sure we'll get along just as
WELL
General Fond of Gardening.
"The boys at the university got
surprise the first day Pershing drilleG
them," said Mr.. Best. "It had been
their habit before that time to come to
drill with shoes blackened or not, just
as they pleased When Pershing took
hold the first thing he looked at was
to see that ali shoes were we'll BACKED
and that the heels looked as good as
the toes. He was just that thorough
going in everything all the time. He
was Al in every way, and you can ask
anyone who knew him if that isn't the
gospel truth
Odd as it may seem in a fighting
man, General Pershing's one fad, ac-
cording to his sisters, is gardening.
His father was an expert gardener,
and the taste descended to the mill
tary man. Whenever he was on leave
he Immediately would don working
clothes and go into his fathers garden
seemingly enjoying the work over the
vegetables as much as he enjoyed So
cial activities.

MAY CREATE WAR COUNCIL SIM

|TWQ BILLS BEFORE CONGRESS
one PROPOSES War Council Of Five
! Members and the Other Would Gen.
/. trajtze Munitions Control in Direc-
E6r Of Munitions.

Washingtoa.-Framing Of legislation
conteuNatirs drastic charges in the
governmeat's war machinery, includ-
ing creation Of an American war csun
Gil similar to those Of BRgland ana
France ana q director Of munitions,
was begun by the senate military ceR'
mittee.
Two bilIs-one proposing the war
council OF fve members, including
the secretaries Of war and navy and
three civilians oppointed by the Pres
ident. and a second to centralize NUM-
lions control in director Of munitions,
were prepared by subcommittee con-
sisting of Chairman Chamberlain ana
Senators Hitchcock and Wadsworth.
Chairman Chamberlain announcer
that the committee virtually had
agreed upon the two bills, in lieu o.
his measure for a separate department
of munitions with a new cabinet men,
Der. The attitude of the administra-
tion toward them has not been dlsclos-
ed. President Wilson and Secretary
Baker opposed the original Chamber
lain bill.
Independent Of Cabinet.
The plan of the committee for the
war council is to have 1t under the
President, but wholly independent Of
the cabinet "It would sit with and
advise the President in forming broad
policies, similar to the British war
cabinet and the French war ministry
said Chairman Chamberlain. "It would
give coordination now lacking il CEN
trail direction of all governments war
operations"
The bill to establish a director OF
munitions is modelled after the Brit
ish law. The committee proposes that
the director should be subordinate
only to the war council and the Pres
ident and not the cabinet, taking over
many supply functions OF the war;
navy, shipbuilding and other branches.
The director would have control of all
war supplies, their production, pur'
chase, transportation and distribution.
The title of director of munitions, "
was definitely decided upon by the
committee and written into the re-
drafted bill by the subcommittee.
which rejected proposals to call the
head Of the new agency the director
of war industries"
The committee received from Direc-
tor Clifford Of the council Of national
defense suggestions for centralizing
munitions and war industrial control.

"a sample of the fashion after
which bloated landlords treat ase wives
Of soldiers has been brought to eur
attention from Upper Langenau IN

custom, remained In the ranks OF the

Looking To Our Foundations.

One has said that the owner
of house in turning over his keys
to his care-taker when departing up
on a Journey naturally expects that
both the house and keys will be re-
turned to him in proper order. Thus
the concerns that have been thrown
under Government control, and all of
which are doing their part in uphold
ing the hands of the Government, are
very much interested in knowing
what will be the permanent policy Of
the United States when military ne
cessities no longer dominate the af-
fairs of mankind. Just at present
America is presenting a united front
that knows no other pur-
pose excepting ''to win the war"
However it is we'll for everybody to
understand that the Socialists, and
the other radicals throughout the
country, are leaving no stone un-
turned in attempting to. make Gov
eminent control and regulation of in
dustries permanent. There is appar-
emily no thoughtso of yielding to the
American Bolshevists who are at
tempting to put one over on Uncle
Sam while he is busy with the Huns.

Il
presented by the Republican nominee
for the Senate and his supporters for
his election The only excuse for his
candidacy is that he wants the Office
and they want a Republican victory.
They do not pretend that he is as well
equipped for the office as Gov STAN
ley, nor that he could do more to-
ward winning the war, if elected,
than he. If the Republican nominee
were equally as capable as the Cover
nor, he would take at least two years
to acquaint himself with legislation
and begin at the bottom, whereas the
Governor, with his twelve years of
Congressional experience would at
once become power in the body.
If Bruner were ten times as compe-
tent, there would still be no reason
to have Republican succeed Senatir

would be.a National calamity for him
to do 30. Stamp under the rooster

HUNS DESERVING THE BELGIAN
COAST LINE.

LONDON, Oct. 24.-Germany has
apparently lost the whole of the Bel
gian coast, which for four years mas
been the base of submarine and aerial
attacks against England and English
shipping.
Ostend has been taken, Lille has
been occupied, Douai has fallen to the
Allies.
Belgians are reported to be in
Bruges which is only eight miles
from the Dutch frontier.
German forces, defeated and vir-
tually demoralized, are said to be in
full retreat toward Antwerp.
Over wide section of the front in
Belgium and northern, France, the
British, French and Belgian armies
have swept forward with relentless
speed, pressing rear guard detach-
ments left behind by the Germans to
retard pursuit.
Immense quantities of materials
have been captured by the Allies, and
steadily mounting.
Keeping step with this movement,
although at slower pace, the allied
forces further south have been NOV
ing ahead.
From reports, it would appear that
two American contingents are operat-
ing on front east of Camrai and st.
Quentin One is working with the
British and aiding in the advance
into the German defenses east of LIE
Cateau.
The other is with the French and
is materially assisting in the attempt
to smash in the right flank OF the
German salient northeast of Laon.
In both these regions, the Allies
have found German resistance very
stubborn, and have been forced to
fight their way ahead in the face of
whitening gusts of bullets and shells
from the German armies, which have
apparently turned at bay.
1t is probable that east of LIE
Cateau, the Germans are standing on
the line of the defensive zone estab-
lished to support the Hindenburg sys-
tenn which is now gone.
Further south the enemy Is evil

the forces retreating from the Laon
salient can make their escape.

EDITORIAL MUSINGS.
New Questions Ahead.

The Senate proceedings bring out
the fact that at the end of the war
we are likely to have a merchant
feet larger than that of any other
country in the world-a different rel
alive position than the one we held
at the beginning of the war. This
feet will be very largely owned by
the Government, and it is a problem
that must be decided as to whether
we are going to sell the yards, lease
them, or to operate them under Gov
eminent ownership. Government
ownership crops up in every indus
trial problem.
Another immense problem con-
fronting the Government and the
country, affects the manufacturing
plants and other establishments ere
ated for war purposes, the machinery
for which may or may not be avai{a-
BILE for after-war production. 1t is
likewise considered a subject for the
immediate present to decide what we
are going 20 do with the millions of
warSworkers now so busily employed
who will find themselves out of en-
pioyment when peace has been de-
clared. 1t appears imperative that
the Government must take some ac-
ton to protect its war workers. The
Goveraplent has an endless number OF
buildings now being used for exclu-
sive war purposes, and it must be
determined what is going to be done
with these buildings. What also is
to be done with the houses the Gov
eminent has provided for its war
workers? Surely all this vast equip
ment must not deterioate or go in the
scrap heap. At the same time the
Government cannot always "do il
ALL Private initiative must return
to bear its burdens, for it is very
clear that cooperate industry will
not solve the problem and a wise

follow. which renders just co-opera
