WILSON WILL AVOID
BIG SHAKEUP UNDER
OVERMAN MEASURE
Plans Only arrangements
That Make for Efficiency
and Wider Service.

WASHINGTON. May 81. - when
President Wilson signed the Overman
hill he took a long step forward In
simplifying governmental operation.
The trst action under the new la
was taken In connection with the
Signal Corps. The orders that were
issued to-day lent themselves to
clarity and brevity because the power
had been definitely concentrated In
the hands Of the President who can
redelegate them without the artificial
limitations imposed by the question
OF appropriations. There are other
changes soon to be made for tho sake
OF gaining directness OF operation.
but any idea that tho Overman law
sweeping changes in tho nature OF
personnel OF tho various executive
bureaus is quite wrong.
IL was declared here to-day with
authority that the present pur.
poses Of the Administration are Very
modest" The plans in contemplation
20 to the matter Of re-drTange-
ment ~ authority which will make
for greater efficiency and wider SER
vice.
Those conversant with the general
situation In Washington are expect
ing hat the mex subject TO engage
the Presidents attention will be the
Ordnance Department. In hat there
are certain arbitrary divisions OF au-
thority which are maintained by vir-
tue Of special appropriations. TO
speed up production and simplify con-
.rol. 1t is likely that extra duties will
be imposed upon Il II. Stettinius. As
siHtant Secretary OF War He will
work IN closer cooperation with H..
Al. Baruch, Chairman OF the War In
dustrlcs Board. These two. between
them. will discharge some Of the more
important functions heretofore rest
ing upon the legal heads Of the ord
nance CORPS.
Under the act the President u given
authority
To consolidate or coordinate any
executive or administrative commits
siOns. bureaus. offices or agencies OF
the Government.
To transfer duties and functions and
personnel OF one oficu or bureau to
another.
To give one appropriated for one
office TO any other Office 20 which the
functions OF the former may have
been transferred.
This new power Is limited 10 mat
tiers related to the conduct ~ the
war. these changes mad under the
law 10 continue in force for six
months after the war.
No bureaus OF offices may be abol-
ished without a report to Congress.
To a very large extent the Overmnu
blll will do away with the false bar-
riers that have been erected, not de-
liberately, but nevertheless continu-
ously. against simpliied and system
attic methods. the effect OF the bill
will reach beyond the war. There Is
no doubt that several OF the reforms
Ia be instituted will make 80 heavily
for Improvement hat they will be-
come permanent.

WASHINGTON, D. c. The Presidents reply to the German peace note, which was handed to him personally by the attache of the Swiss legation, was delivered to the Swiss attache for transmission to the German chancellor. The text of the message and the covering letter were as follows:
 "I have the honor to acknow- ledge, on behalf of the President, your October 9th note, enclosing Germany's communication to the President.
 ''The President instructs me to request you to take the following communication to the German chan cellor:
 Before replying to Germany's request, and in order that the reply shall be candid, which is set forward as momentoous interests are in- volved by the request; the Pres- dent feels it necessary to assure himself of the exact meaning of the chancellor's note.
 "'Does the chancellor state that the Imperial German government accepts the terms laid down by the President in his address to Congress on January 9th and in subsequent addresses, and that Germany's ob- ject in entering discussion would be to agree upon such practical details of their advocation.
 "'The President feels bound to say with regard to the suggestion of armistice, that he would not feel at liberty to propose cessation of hostilities to the Allies as long as the Central Powers are upon the soil of Americas allies. It does seem that the good faith of any discus sion would manifestly depend upon the consent of the Central Powers immediately to withdraw their forces everywhere from invaded territory.
 "'The President also feels justl- fled in asking the chancellor if he speaks merely for the constituted authority of the German empire as have so far conducted the war. He deems an answer to the question
