Washington. Jan. 16. - Opinion is
crystalizing in Congress and among
the prominent businessmen called to
Washington to assist the government
in the conduct of the war that there
must be a radical reorganization of
the methods of governmental admin
istration, particularly in the War De-
partment, which is being subjected
privately to a degree of criticism
that is certain to come to the surface
in open attacks before very long.
The demand for one-man control of
the War Department or in the pur-
chase of munitions for all the mill
tary branches of the government is
very strong, and the opposition of
President Wilson and Secretary Bal1-
er to the creation of Department
of Munitions will encounter marked
resistance, even on the part of Dem
ocratic Legislators who have stood
loyalty by the Administration in all
its war Legislation.

More Depth Bombs
Used, Germans Say

London, Jan. 16.-German news
papers. in referring to the Anglo
American measures against subma-
rines, indicate that the employment
of the depth charge has been greatly
increased and perfected since the
American destroyers arrived in Euro
pean waters.
In the old days the destroyer was
content to drop two or three depth
charges in the vicinity where the sub
marine was last seen, but now, ac-
cording to the German accounts, it is
not unusual to find the destroyers
persisting in the business of dropping
depth bombs until as many as forty
have been exploded, thus covering a
large area where the submarine is
likely to be hiding.
The Germans admit that this is a
very unpleasant business for the
operators of the U-boats.

FUEL HEADDOES
NOT ENDORSE A
MONDAY HOLIDAY
Shut Factories to Heat Homes,
Garfield Plan; Drastic Or
ders Contemplated

Washington. Jan. 16.-The coal
situation in the East rapidly ap-
preached yesterday the crisis fore
cast last week by Fuel Administrator
Garfield. The actual shortage in coal,
making restrictive measures neces-
sary, has been heightened by the
worst weather in many years, and
all theories looking good on paper
were discarded in the practical ap-
plication of measures deemed i'm
perative to prevent suffering. NO
effort was made to minimize the
gravity of the situation.
DIR. Garfield gave his entire day
yesterday to the immediate problem
ahead, and he will be prepared to-
day to announce the scope of curtall-
ment on industries during the emerg-
ency. Even vital war industries will
be denied coal until domestic con-
sumers and the transatlantic ships,
tied up in New York are supplied.
His whole efforts are to be directed
against alleviating the suffering
which appears imminent.
The fuel administrator called on
the Council of National Defense, the
War Industries Board and executive
departments for all information
decision to be announced to-day.
Monday Holidays Disapproved
The plan announced in New York
yesterday of having all industry stop
on Monday during the emergency has
not received the approval OF LII.
Garfield and he is understood to hold
the view that such step would not
go far ahead. Actual shutting down
of industries whose output could be
stopped for limited time offers to
him, it was said, the only way to ade
quate relief.
That the fuel administrator has
been forced to consider such drastic
action, much against his previous
inclinations, is held to be due to the

flee, showing that former Premier
CaillauX, of France, was in communi-
cation with German agents in Argen-
tina in 1915.
The first Bernstorff dispatch con-
tanned very damaging references to
CaillauX's references to the French
government and warned against Ger
man newspapers praising him. Apother
gave notice of the ship on which Call
lauv was sailing from Argentina and
planned it's capture by submarines.
The capture of the ship was sought
because her captain carried important
papers. The German government was
asked to treat CaillauX with every
courtesy and consideration if the ship
was taken.
Bernstorfr's Message
Following is the text of the mes
sage sent by Bernstorff:
"Buenos Aires telegraphed the fol-
lowing: Caillaux has left Buenos
Aires after a short stay and is going
direct to France evidently on account
of the (group undecipherable) scan
dal which he regards as a personal
attack upon himself. He speaks con-
temptuously of the president and the
rest of the French government with
the exception of BRAND. He sees
fectly. He does not anticipate the
complete overthrow of France. He
sees in the war now a struggle for
existence on the part of England.
Although he spoke much of the 'indis-
cretions and crumsy policy of the
Wilhelmstrasse and professed to be-
lieve in German atrocities. he has in
essentials hardly changed his politi-
cal orientation. CaillauX welcomed in
n .rptn to-. Fpl. It,N NI,,
sized the extreme caution which he
is obliged to show, as the French
government, he said, had him watched
even here. He warns us against the
excessive praise bestowed upon him
by our papers, especially the Neue
Freie Presse, and desired on the other
hand that the Mediterranean and Mo-
rocco agreements should be adversely
criticised. Our praise Injuries his po-
sition in France. CaillauX's reception
here was cool. His report about Bra
Zil had nothing new. On his return
to France he will begin to reside in
his own constituency. He fairs Paris
and the fate of Juares.
(Signed) BERNSTORFF."
A Second Message
Another message which Count Won
Bernstorff had forwarded was from
Havana as follows:
"Tol, Rio De Janeiro, telegrahs
steamer Araguaya left Buenos Aires
January 80. he captain is carryTing
important papers. Capture very de-
sirable. CaillauX Is on board. In
case of capture Caillaux should in
an unobtrusive way be treated with
courtesy and consideration. Can you
inform our cruisers?
(Signed) "BERNSTORFF."
The instruction of the German CEN
sorship to the German press on June
26. 1915, follows:
For political reasons, 'it is urg-
emily requested that nothing be writ
ten about tile former French premier
CaillauX and that his name be not
mentioned under any circumstances. "
This correspondence, although no
official announcement to that effect is
available. is made public by arrange
ment with the French government,
which desired its exposure. Call
laux now is waiting trial in France
for treason on revelations developed
by the celebrated Bolo Pasha case.

Frances Peace Program.

Friction has developed in France
over questions relative to the peace
conference, eliminating in stormy
session of the deputies yesterday, when
Foreign Minister Pichen read the gov
ernment's replies to recent interpella-
tons. These replies constitute the ont
line of . program upon five questions,
pledging France to support of the prin-
ciple Of the utmost possible publicity
in the peace conference and to that
Of the league of nations. As to the
matter of annexations, the government
declares itself as not desiring such, re-
serving the right to fix the Alsace-Lor
raine frontiers in a manner to guard
against future attack. It declines to
regard the matter Of diplomatic rep
resentation Of the Vatican as subject
to present discussion, and it declares
that Intervention in Russia is inevi-
table.
Of these five declarations that re-
garding Russia is the most important,
for it appears to controvert the an
nouneement lately sent from Paris that
the allies have agreed upon a policy of
non-interVention. NJ. Pichon, however,
explains that the intervention contem-
plated is not offensive in character, but
defensive for the time being to pre-
vent the bolsheviki from invading the
Ukraine, the Caucasus and western ST.
IBERIA. In the future offensive opera
items may be necessary to destroy boil
shevism, such an operation to be car
ried out by Russian troops, of which
100,00 are now ready at Odessa.
Thus there would seem to be less con-
f1ict in the two announcements than
initially appears. It is evident from
Pichon's statement that France agrees
that there is to be no general cam
paign of allied forces to restore order
in Russia. The policy is to cencen-
trate the bolshevik influence within a
certain area and thea, if necessary,
to utilize Russian forces to stem it
there, meanwhile preserving the cut
lying territories from the spread of
that element. Avoidance Of direct al
lied Intervention is evidently sought,
to prevent q Russian reaction toward
helshevism.
That France will weather the poIiti-
cal storm which the recent inteTpella-
tons indicate is demonstrated by to-
days vote of confidence, $50 to 1874.
Clemenceau will go into the peace con-
ference with substantial ma jority be-
hind him in the chamber.

Ebert's Government Sustained

After week of friction between the
radical socialists and the government
at Berlin the situation there has de-
veloped to the point Of success for the
moderates headed by Ebert, and the
retirement from the cabinet Of Haase,
Barth and Dittmann, representing the
independent socialists. Rumors had
prevailed that Liebknecht's faction had
ousted the Ebert government, and that
he and Ledebour were about to form a
government. This appears to have
been unfounded. IN.
It is significant that the Ebert gov
eminent, according to the latest &C.
counts, vas sustained in Office BY the
action of the central council Of sol
diers and workers. That body, made
up of representatives Of various eoun-
ellis throughout Germany, thus appears
to be the responsible authority in the
former Empire. Ebert and his asso-
ciates were quizzed at length as to
policies and performances, and it would
seem that they satisfied their inquisi-
toss, fer ut the conclusion Of . pro-
loaged session the three men who
represented the oppositiea to Ebert
rendered their resignatiens.
This, however, does not definitely eet-
tie the situation IN Germany fm DO

The President in England.

The President will return to France
without taking the world into conf.
dence about his precise stand at Yer
sailles. He has made a number OF
speeches in England, all of felicitous
character, but none travelling outside
the domain of generalities. He has
had great acclaim for all his utter
ances. The people have manifested
much pleasure at seeing and hearing
him; but they must wait, as We at
home here must, for particulars as to
his recipe for composing the troubles
Of the nations.
But the President must have profted
by his visit. He has met King George
and the kings ministers, and confabu-
lated with them about peace and how
to safeguard it. The conferences were,
of course, confidential That much of
secret diplomacy was necessary to the
business which had brought them to-
gether.
Later, however, the nature Of those
conferences must appear. When the
peace delegates get down to cases at
Versailles, whether all the sessions
are open to the public or not, the pub
lie will in some way be advised of all
differences and agreements; and the
general result when reached will show
where the different participants stood.
Meanwhile, discussion of the sub
ject in the Senate here will continue,
and presumably upon the frank basis
of its beginning. Notice of several
speeches has been given, and others
may follow. The topic is tempting. The
more it is considered, the more impor-
tant the business appears to be.
There is no reason why senators
should withhold their views. On the
contrary, by expressing them now and
in clear terms they may contribute to
a proper understanding and good re-
suits at Versailles. The Senate must be
taken into account there. 1t is a part
of the American treaty making
power. The President may propose,
but unless the Senate agrees, nothing
is accomplished.
We may expect expert fencing at
Versailles. Among the delegates will
be some of the most capable and ex-
perienced politicians and diplomats in
the world. All will be on their met
tie, and, however we'll inclined toward
international good relations, not with
out careful thought each Of the heme
welfare. Compromises will, of course,
be essential; but they must be made
so as to enable the delegates upon dis
persing to face their constituents with
good claims upon approval.

An "Alibi Club for the Kaiser,

"a league for the protection Of the
personal liberty and life Of the kaiser
has been formed in Berlin, and, it is
announced, will issue an appeal to the
advisers Of the former emperor, as
web as diplomats with whom he was
associated, to submit all possible docu-
Ments to prove his innocence of bring
ing about the war. It is also stated
that Prince Henry Of Prussia was
proposed as president of this league,
but suggested for the post Gen. Won
Hindepburg.
This organization should really be
called an abb club. It cannot be re-
garded as an altruistic movement.
Fealty to the late sovereign hardly
runs to that extent. Nobody is coming
forward to offer himself as sacrifice
to save the kaiser's skin. Hindenburg
is we'll selected for the presidency of
the league. He was in retirement
when the war broke and doubtless he
feels that he is safe from any suspicion
Of completely in the plot that precipi-
tsted the catastrophe upon the world.
Possibly he will take the ground that
the war was forced on Germany.
ANY gathering of documents bearing
upon the origin Of the war is to be
welcomed in the interest of the truth.
A former official of the Berlin foreign
Office is now at work upon a compila-
ton of this character. The league to
defend the kaiser appeals for papers
from other sources, which indicates
that possibly the archives at the Will
helmstrasse are not complete.
These preparations for the defense
Of the kaiser show that it is expected
at Berlin that William Hohenzollern
will be brought to trial by the allies.
Little has been heard about this mat
ter for some time. Lloyd George in his
campaign speeches in England def
pitely declared it to be his policy to
bring the former German ruler to book
for his crimes. There has been no dis
sent from the proposition. There is,
in fact, virtual unanimity in all the
countries that the kaiser should be
tried and punished if proved guilty Of
precipitating the war, or Of any part
in the atrocities committed by his ar
mics in its prosecution.

The Railroad Question.

This announcement is made in con-
nection with the hearings on the rail-
road question, which will begin Friday
before the Senate interstate commerce
committee:
director General McAdoo of the
railroads is expected to be the first wit
ness. A representative of the rail
roads, of the shipping public, Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission, of
the state railroad commissioners and of
labor organizations will be heard in
turn. 1t is the purpose of the COM
mittee to hear only accredited spokes-
men from each of the groups concerned,
and in this way to avoid duplication
of testimony and waste of time"
The country will be at attention.
At this time the railroad question leads
all domestic questions. In his annual
address to Congress the President
frankly stated that he had no railroad
policy. Since then Director General
McAdoo has asked an extension of gov.
eminent control for five years, and de-
clared that his Recommendation has the
Presidents approval
Very properly, Congress wants the
fullest and latest information before
taking any action, or deciding whether
the present is the proper time to take
action Of any kind.
In the last analysis, moro than the
enormous value Of the railroad proper
ties Is involved. Government owner
ship and operation are suggested; and,
as many believe, that policy if adopted
will be a long step in the direction Of
state socialism.
