retary-of-War Baker and favoring the
creation of a war cabinet. After an
acrimonious discussion the resolution
was tabled.
Charles S. Dawson, of the Amer

resolution which called upon the
president to appoint as secretary of
war, regardless of politics, "a man
who is aggressively military and fa-
miliar with war politics"
Declaring that the resolution was
prompted by partisan politics, E. w.
Estes, representing the Sons of the
American Revolution and the Sons of
Veterans, moved thatit be tabled.
I S. Stanwood Menken of the Amer
lean Security league. insisted upon ia
vorable action. however. He asserted
that business interests all over the
country favored the proposals.
General Samuel w. Fountain of
the Loyal Legion declared he could
not remain at the meeting if the res
olution was adopted. Men who had
control of military affairs long before
the advent of the present administra-
ton were in a large measure respon-
sible, he asserted, for national un-
preparedness for war. He was
backed in his stand by Colonel Will
liam S. Cogswell and Mrs. Coffin
