ordination bill. 1t is reported that to
every Senator and Representative who
goes to the White House to call the
Presidents attention TO some fault in

Senators understand that he plans a
reorganization of the War Industries
Board which will make it in effect a
Ministry of Munitions. Yet the re-
organization does not take place. The
War Industries Board has been since
the middle of January without chair
man. Members of Congress who want
to see the war efficiently prosecuted
deplore the failure to reorganize the
War Industries Board. And apparent
~ the Presidents position is going to
be that this delay is all the fault of
congress. IT it would give him the
Overman bill the War Industries Board
would be reorganized.

Senator's have been called to the
White House. They have been lecturcd
and told that they and the President
are trying to do the same thing. only
in different ways. And they are invited
to trust the President. who knows all
and who, given authority, will correct
everything. Specifically they arc not
told how or what faults will be cor
rected. They hear. not from the Presi-
dent, that the War Industries Board is
to be reorganized, and they conclude
that it will be. when reorganized, virtu-
ally Ministry Of Munitions. But they
do not know.
Since the Military Affairs Committee
virtually postponed further hearings,
investigation began. At that time this
knowledge gathered, like electricity at

charge is gathering. This is inevitable.

Cultivated Spring Wildhowers

The flowers that bloom in the spring,
though never lacking appreciation, have
not hitherto been cultivated-the fami-
lar wild flowers, that is to say. But it
is beginning to be different.
Double" buttercups of several vari-
eties are now being grown in green
houses and are in much demand Be-
fore long, doubtless, the dandelion will
be cultivated. There is no reason why
it might not be developed into a magni-
ficent bloom six inches in diameter,
with curly, golden petals. The original
wild chrysanthemum was hardly bigger
than the dandelion of to-day
Indeed, dandelions are already cul-
tivated in New England, though only
as spring vegetable. Improved field
dasies are now grown on large scale
in hothouses, and in winter fetch a
high price at the florists.
The Government Plant Bureau has
recently found out how to grow the
trailing arbutus" (most admired of all
spring fiowers) under glass, and before
long its cultivated blooms will be on
the market in winter.--Philadelph

Soon to Decide Fate Of
Old St. John S Chapel
City May Save Part Of Structure
Menaced by Varick Street
WideDino

a decision is expected soon from the
city as to What disposition is to be
made Of old s.. Johns Chapel, one Of
the historic possessions of Trinity
Corporation. 1t is the only structure
that has SO far escaped unscathed in
the widening Of Narck Street for the
Seventh Avenue extension improve
ment. In the planning of this widen
ing it was thought that it would be
necessary to tear down tho fore part
of the church-thc portico, with the
steeplc over il.
The condemnation of property for
the Seventh Avenue extension was
begun in Septembcr, 1913. Last July
the commissioners filed their report of
awards, covering 267 properties which
were taken in part or in their entirety
for the improvement. These awards
totalled $5,600,oo0 The claims for
damages submitted by TIE owners
amounted to about $4,000, 900 On
March ii and 15 the commissioners
will hear objections TO the awards and
assessments. 1t is estimated that the
entire cost Of the Improvement will be
about $9,000,000 of which V3 per cent
Will be borne by owners in the dis
trict bounded by Broadway and the
Hudson River from Liberty to Fifty
ninth Street, II per cent by owners
who have property within 100 feet on
either side of the extension, IL per
cent by Bronx owners and per cent
by Brooklyn owners. Richmond and
Queens have not been asked to con-
tribute toward this public improve
ment.

Unexpected Opposition

Senator Hardwick, Demo-
crat, Flatly Opposes 1t

WASHINGTON, March Q Unex-
pected opposition to the Administration
measure to establish war finance cor
poration arose to-day in the Senate,
thwarting leaders plans for its passage
tonight and forcing the bill over until
next week.
Final enactment of the measure, pos
sibly with material modification, was
not believed by leaders to be endan-
eered. The opposition developed rap
idly, and centred chiefly on the pro-
posal for licensing by capital issues
committee" of security issues of $780,
600 and more.
virtually no progress was made on
the bill to-day. Only one minor amend
ment was disposed of, and that-ex-
tending the provision for direct loans
was accepted by Senator Simmons of
North Carolina, in charge of the bill,
when members of the Banking Com
mlttee and others insisted that farmers
and small business men, as we'll as cap
ltalistS and large corporations, should
be allowed to receive direct advances
from the corporation.
Opposed by Democrat
Senator Hardwick, of Georgia. Dem
ocrat, to-day came out in open and Wig
orous opposition to the legislation. He
declared it was unnecessary. and would
confer enormous powers over American
industry to few men in charge of the
proposed corporation. The measure,
he asserted. would create machinery
similar to the Aldrich- -Vreeland cen
trail bank" plan, but with vastly more
arbitrary power
Although several Senators had indi-
Gated opposition to the bill but had
agreed to support it as war measure,
Senator Hardwick's was the first ad-
dress IN flat opposition. Disapproval
OF the securities licensing plan was
expressed by some Senators, who be-

Senator Smith, Of Michigan, Repub

Secretary of the Treasury the enor-
nous powers which, he said, the bill
authorized. He suggested that the
fcderal Reserve act be amended so as
TO place these powers in the hands of
the twelve Reserve banks.
