ceiving memoraBck and data from
them constantly. but tomorrow,s meet
ing IL looked upon as q sort of clear
ing session, when a broad general
view of the whole war program may
be obtained by all who attend.
There was no statement or authorita-
tive expression to indicate that more
than six men who were invited. tomor-
row win be asked to come to the White
House at future meetings, War coufer-
ences are flexible affairs, anyway, and
the mSn who are summoned to the White
House these days are not czllej there
so much because Of the pronine7ce OF
their positions as the urgency Of the
problems IN which they are Pbso-bed.
In the absence of Secretary Baker,
Assistant Secretary Crowell has in
augurated at the War Department a
new system OF conferences. He has
invited Senators and Congressman OF
the two Congressional Military AZ
fairs Committees to sit down with the
staff officers in the general discus
sion OF war matters. This has been
lauded on every side as a move that
will inspire the legislative branch OF
the Government with confidence in
the War Department, but the fact Is II
will also tend to disseminate through
out the said legislative branch OF the
Government a little knowledge of
military affairs.
For IL Is no reflection on the ability
OF the Senators and Representatives
that every now and then they reveal
q singular ignorance OF the technical
side of war because the changes and
radical readtustments made necessary
by the extraordinary size of the con-
fiict and the tactics of the enemy have
made many OF our own officers seem
ignorant, too. But the conferences
at the War Department are really the
outgrowth OF a feeling on the part
OF the legislators that they were
being neglected.
Better Feeling PrOdueed.
Better feeling has been produced by
well, and It is to be expected that the
meetings Of the war council will in their
sphere be equally effective. for 1t has
gotten to be a matter OF common re-
mark that while the President saw
several Of the heads OF bureaus. he rare
" had them together at the White
House for a general discussion.
Whether the plan was impractic-
able before or whether 1t was not
feasible until a plan of reorganiza-
tion such as outlined by the President
In his letter to Mr. Baruch was put
into practice. is a matter, for retro
spective speculation. but, as for the
future, some OF the ideas which
prompted so many men in the Capital
to urge the formation OF a war cab
met are substantially met by the
simple process now put into effect

London, March 19.-The allies and
America are on the eve of a new
warfare-a more aggressive cam
paisn in the air-and' military men
predict that before many weeks shall
have passed thsre will be official re-
ports of scores Of German towns,
heretofore unscathed by air raids
being blown up by dynamite from
allied planes.
"The war will be won by the side
which kills the greatest number OF
civilians" . leading military expert
has recently stated. and, horrible
though it may seem. those in posi-
tion to venture an opinion say It is
true.
Make Life UnbearabIe.
A continuous three-day lombard
ment by squadrons OF 100 planes over
the Rhine towns would make life un
bearable for the inhabitants; they
would be forced to fee toward Ber-
lin, thus clogging Germany's internal
arrangement and breaking down the
civilian morale.
That air squadrons OF hundreds of
bombplanes will shortly strike this
blow Is Indicated in official dispatches

from England, France and Italy are
rapidly completing their training and
entering active service. while hun
dreds OF Americans are already be-
coming proficient in the use. OF the

and American officers the outlook for |
Americas participation in the aerial |

clares that he is highly pleased with |

Army and Navy officials who have

gram are not disturbed by reports

They point to the fact that fac

had to be trained, and material Sc

TO PROTECT
RUSSIA FROM
OWN ACTIONS
By CARL D. GR0AT.

The United States Government
does not and will not recognize the
German peace pacts with Russia
and Roumania.
Already pledged to 60 the limit
to free Russia from Teuton duress,
this Government agrees with the
allied war council statement of re-
lection Of these terms. This rejec-
ton and the general American dis
gust and horror at Germany's
shameless plunder-push in the east
may find concrete expression in
President Wilson's proposed war
statement
Expect Virile Message.
Everything points to a virile dec
IarAtion along lines Of the. allied
council statement, denouncing Ger
naany's eastern course, condemning
her military leaders for breaking
faith with the Russians and Rou-
maniAns. and pledging Russia anew
the support OF this nation in getting
Dack place N the sun
The Presidents friends expect him

the nation. shunting aside all peace
talk and exposing the uselessness Of
trying for any agreements with the
power-mad Teuton militarists. His
war statement. however. may do all |
Nhese things, yet have in it the ele- |
ment OF appeal to the Austriaus or |
Germans to see the ruthlessness Of |
the leaders and the folly OF keeping |
on against a world united against |
Germany because of her crimes.
Peace Talk Dangerous.
The Administration is now con-
vinced that peace talk is utterly use
less and even dangerous. as peace
talk.
But it still believes that the 'politi-
cal offensive" can be used advan-
tageOusly to support the men and
guns.
1t believes that this nation should |
make it clear that il cannot sacrifice |
Its democratic ideals by agreeing to |
allow Japan to sh.s. into Siberia
that Is. permitt:-.s- .1ie eastern autoc- |
racy to throw Russia positively and \
actively into the western autocracy's
hands -
And IL thinks that these ideals
should be constantly emphasized in /
the hope that ultimately they will !
penetrate the dark corners of Rus
sia and the military crazed Germany
which now manifestly seeks a world
When the Versailles council reject
ed German peace terms and announc-
ed. in effect, that Germany must be
crushed, there was a disposition here
to disagree with that idea, as ii
would definitely make the German
people believe there was 40 hope for
them except through a victory OF
their leaders
Spirit Is GF1Eht.-
Vow, the spirit here is-put every
last ounce OF nght into this war to

with Austria is now possible and the
sooner and more powerfully the blows
are dealt the sooner will the convic-
