Mr.. Wilson pointed out that In
other fields the need for students for
vacation work is not so great
"A certain amount of student labor
can, however. be made use OF this
summer in work Of immediate i'm
portance in prosecuting the war.
We are making a special study

The Secretary emphasized the need
for farm labor. While some students

GERMANS PREP PAR|NG FOR ANOTHER DRIVE
America Doons \
Military Powe,,
Says London Press

London, April s.-The doom of the
military power in Germany was pro-
nounced by President Wilson in his
speech ,at Baltimore, says the Morn
ing Post Whether or not the allies
are1 strong enough to break the Ger
man military power in pieces remains
to be seen, says the Post but the
! United States is strong enough and is
determined to do it, no matter how
long it will take.
I'VE can assure our American
friends that their declarations are en-
couraging. They look on the war from
a point of view which after four years
we have lost. President Wilson has
insisted from the first that it is a
moral issue.
1T has fallen to President Wilson to
put into stern practice the conviction
which the greatest among American
poets affirmed in every line of his
rough-hewn verse that the spirit OF
liberty is universal"
Commenting on President Wilson's
Baltimore address, the Daily Mail says:
I'm these hours of trial Great Britain
deeply feels Americas sympathy and
aid.
when President Wilson solemnly
declares in utter self sacrifice and self
forgetfulness. America will give all that
we love and all that we have to redeem
the world and make it fit for free men
like ourselves to live in,' we know this
pledge will be kept"

PRESIDENT NOW
HAS TWO CABINETS

litical Questions, Second With Actual
Problems Of Mobiizing Powers of
Nation to Defeat Huns-Group of
Six Men Virtually Controls War
ProbIems-Hoover Given Authority.

Washington. April s.-The nations
war making agencies have achieved a
close harmony of action in the last two
weeks thru the Wednesday con-
ferences at the White House, which
officials said today had speeded the
work to the greatest point of efficiency
yet reached
President Wilson is said authorita-
lively to have smoothed difficulties
which might have resulted in friction.
The president now virtually has two
cabinets, the first of which advises
him on diplomatic and political ques
tions, while the second advises with
him on the problems of modifying the
powers of the nation.
The cabinet proper meets>every Fri
day. The war cabinet or the in
dustrial cabinet, as it is becoming to
be known, gathers every Wednesday.
Hoover Given Wide Powers.
The war cabinet at no time has
touched on political questions. All OF
the war cabinets work has been to
further the preparations of America
I to throw her entire resources against
the Hun. So important is the work that
the prosecution of the war is now en-
trusted to the little group of six men
representing the factors necessary to
provide the fighting men with all they
need to bring victory as quickly as
possible.
Food problems have come in for
much consideration by the war
cabinet. Mr.. Hoaver is understood to
have received approval for any further
restrictions on consumption he may
deem advisable. The impression also
has been gained that the president will
stand by his original price of $3.50 a
bushel for wheat if the bill to increase
the price to $3.50 becomes law.
Eliminating Incompetent Doctors.
Elimination from the army medical
corps Of all men not qualified for
active service has been undertaken by
Surgeon General Gorgas. 1t is esti-
mated about 1900 commissions in the
reserve will be revoked
