Pe1shing Wants Young Blood.

News that Gen. Pershing has "shak
en- up" the American expedftionary
force in France came as a surprise, but
there developed little disposition to
criticise the man who Is responsible
for the success Of American arms on
the actual battle front. His order re-
lieyinS Maj. Gen Sfbert, next to him
In command. and Maj Gen. Mann. COM
mander Of the Rainbow Division, was
explained as necessary in order to get
young blood" on the firing line. and
even the close friends of these officers
accept Gen Pershing's decision with
good grace There was no suggestion
that Gems. Sibert and Mann lacked in
anything but youth. and II the send
ing of them home was necessary to
military efficiency they probably will
be the first to commend a commander
who was brave enough to take the
step.
Gems. Billiard and Menoher, who are
understood to have been selected to
succeed Gems. Sibert and Mann, are
bfFbiy spoken of by fellow officers as
soldiers OF ability and initiative, and
1t is predicted they will give good ac-
counts of themselves. The report that
Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood. who now Is
in Europe. was likely to get a field
command was received everywhere in
Washington with pleasure. and the
same was true regarding the prospec-
tive appointment of Mai. Gen. Kuhn,
commander at Camp Meade, who also
Is in urope.

Close Cooperation With Allies.

An event OF the week which is ex-
Secte5 TO have far-reaching conse-
Quence was publication OF the report
of the delegates. headed by Col House,
sent by President Wilson to represent
the United States in the interallied
conferences at London and Paris. An
nouncement that plan for close CO.
operation had been agreed upon was
feared that the war might be greatly
prolonged through divided Council and
lack of coordination Of erort.
One of the recommendations of the
troops should be rushed to France with
the least possible delay. That the
recommendation. as a generality, will
be carried out is accepted as a matter
of course. but Secretary of War Baker
made It plain that troops are not to be
sent overseas until they are properly
equipped. In some quarters 1t was
made to appear that Secretary Baker
was antagonistic to the House recon-
/. mendation. but as the commission did
not advise that unframed and uc-
equipped men be sent to the front this
effort to prove discord appears rather
far-fetched.
General approval was voiced Of the
plan for industrial. economic and imam
cial cooperation agreed upon at the
conference.
Labor. its duties in the war and its
anffication for war-making purposes
were among the weeks topics of dis
cussion. In Il New Year greeting to
organized labor Samuel Gompere
president of the American Federation
of Labor, told the nations workers
that it was their duty to support the
government IN conduct of war declar-
ed by the properly constituted authori-
ties. and that any failure to do 30 was

For Ministry Of Munitions.

Demand for creation Of a ministry of
munitions made its appearance again
in the shape of a bill introduced in the
Senate by Senator Chamberlain, chair
man Of the military affairs committee
The bill is understood to have the
backing of the military committee, and
prospects CT its passage are regarded
as good.
The minister of munitions, who
would be a member of the Presidents
cabinet would have control over arms
and ammunition, food. clothing. shell
ter and all other materials which the
President might designate as munition
of war. both for the Army and the
Navy. Introduction of the bill is a
result Of the Senate committees in
quiry into war preparations. and it has
not yet developed whether the meas
ure meets with the approval of the
President. 1t would take from. the
Secretary of War and the Secretary
of the Navy much OF the authority
they now WELD, and, incidentally. re-
1ieve them of a great deal Of work.

certain as to the wisdom of making

Announcement that men who have

No doubt is expressed that Congress

Chinese Wood Oil.

From Oriental News and Comment.
One Of the most profitable of Chinese
Industries is the manufacture Of wood
oil and wood oil varnish, two prod
ucts in demand by paint manufacturers
especially. and for uses too numerous
to mention in the shops OF every ma
ton. China IS richly endowed with
wood oil resources. and supplies at
present a large per cent OF the worlds
demand. Practically china's entire
output of wood oil Is produced in the

Two Billions for Airships.

Airships came in for their share of
public attention. The Aero Club of
America launched propa ganda for an
appropriation by Congress of ST.
000.000.00O to carry out an airship con-
struction program, and Secretary Baker
to be expended in establishing arship
bases in this country and its depend
encies.
In advocacy of it's program the Aero
Club urges that if Congress will pro-
vide the money manufacturing plants
now practically idle can be put to work
and from $4,000 TO 100000 airplanes
produced each year. 1t gives assur-
ances that there will be trained men

Wars Costs Piling Up.

Not long ago two billion dollars
seemed like lot of money. and the
man who would have proposed spend
ing that sum for airpianes would have
been regarded as little too dangerous
to remain at large. 1t doesn't sound so
big today. in view Of what Uncle Sam
has spent since he went to war last
April and what he is planning to spend
in the Immediate future.
He began the new year $5,615, 900, 900
in debt. which is an increase of five
fold over the national indebtedness
when war was declared. Before year
of war is rounded out next April, ac-
cording to estimates by the experts. he
will have spent more than ten billion
dollars as his financial share in the
conflict, and plans will have been ma
tured for the spending of a great many
billions more.

Speeding Up shipbu11ding.

President Wilson paid call during
the week on Chairman Hurley of the
shipping board. and the call was fol-
lowed. If not by increased efforts, at
least in greater liberality in letting the
public know what the board is doing.
1t was announced that speaking
campaign is to be conducted through
out the country in an effort to get labor
to enter the shipyards. and the board
sent to Congress a request for an ap-
preparation of s35,000,000 to provide
housing accommodations for shipyard
workers.
A report issued by the board. follow
ing a conference of shipyard employ
ment managers. disclosed that much of
the labor trouble at the yards is due
to the fact that SO many unframed.

tented men have had to be employed.
There is urgent need, it was said, for
a higher grade of workmen. and also
that the workers should be impressed
with the fact that they are rendering
