Secretary Baker ut his own request,
appearing second time before the
senate committee on military affairs,
made an address that created so excel
lent an impression that much of the
criticism of him and his management
of the war department was slenced.
He spoke frankly and elOquently, no
longer seeking to cover up the faults
of the bureaus, but asserting that his
critics had made it appear that spe
cific cases were characteristic of gen
eral conditions, which was not true,
and that every mistake discovered had
been rectified and none of them re-
peated. His explanation and defense
of most of the criticized acts of his
department sounded convincing, and
he displayed no Ill temper or animos-
ity.
The immediate result was an AMIGA
BILE conference between Secretary
Baker and Senator Chamberlain. The
senator assured the secretary the urg-
ing of the munitions director and war
desire to help win the war and In
no way was intended to reflect on the
administration. Mr. Baker finally
agreed to reconsider his objections to
the former measure, but asked that the
latter be shelved. 1t was believed that
If the position of munitions director is
created it will be filled by Mr. Stettin-
ius, who already, in the reorganization,
has been made surveyor general of
army supplies. His long experience
as purchasing agent for the entente
allies seems to fit him peculiarly for
the place.
The good results of the senate in
vestigation and Of the general criti-
cism directed against some features
of the war departments management
are apparent daily, and the improve
ment may go on until all the critics
are satisfied except those who hold
that professed pacifist Is not the man

has encountered Just this difficulty.
Some time ago, when II became ap-

about for these "non-essentials," but
there their trouble began. II was
not difficult to locate number OF

found that the usefulness or useless

factured was the smallest considera-

found that the industry itself had be-

American business fabric that It's ell

And thus II went. In varying de-

In this emergency the government
has adopted the only logical course.
While II was impractical to eliminate

SHIPS AND STILL MORE SHIPS

Nhen good old father Noah
b Began To build his ark
&he neighbors sat around and jeered
A From dawn tin after dark
4hey said what Father Noah knew
Il OF building deep-sea ships
rould be told past preadventure
BY looking at his chips.
They had lots of fun with Noah
And they called the ark "a tub"
Mud most likely called they Noah
The Hebrew word for dub"
But when the floods decended
And they saw the ark would float
They begged old skipper Noah
To take them ON his boat.
Last year. when Edward Hurley
Was put upon the job
OF building ships and yet more ships
The scoffers all raised hob.
1hey said he'd ever built ship,
\ Or even owned yacht.
Aud If he did he hired some one
10 run it, like as not.
He didn't tell his critics
EACH day what he had done,
So. as in the days of Noah.
They started to have fun.
they said, "He has no shipyards;
He hasn't even slips;
Without them we would like to know
/ How he can build his ships!"
But he started getting shipyards,
And laying down shipways.
knd kept himself too busy
To hear either blame or praise.
There are wood ships and steel ships
And some ships of concrete,
And some are big and some are small
But all of them are fleet.
NNeIl have ships of Hurley's making
On all the seven Seas,
With Old Glory flying from the mast
Wherever blows the breeze;
And when this war is over
And the world has no more slaves,
Columbia, not Brittania,
Is going TO rule the waves.

 Now the traffic squad will patrol the air. the boundaries of the training field except for those engaged at stunts or cross country flying, will be well marked. and a reprimand will be due for flyers who pass out of bounds.
 Reports both from Love Field and Call Field at Wichita Falls are that both these camps are to be made schools for advanced flying and men will be sent to them direct from the grourd schools, but only after they have been put through its fundamcn- tals of flying and had a certain num- Der of hours il the air in some of the other schools. Then they will come to Love Field and Call Field and re- ccive their training in stunts and in war duties. These include acrobatic work, extensive formation flying of the difficult military type, and cross country flying with advanced instruc- ton in wireless. aerial gunnery and photographic work.

On the western side, by the workingman's quarter, lies a large new English cemetery, with countless graves beautifully decked with spring flowers. Over the gar dens of the heighboring village the commanding height of Kemmel peers above the Flanders plain. There the battle rages fiercely. We meet Eng lish prisoners and our own wounded They describe the difficulties of the fight, above all the countless machine gun nests of the British. But they are Of good courage.
 ''In the western suburb of Lille the children were playing ball, but upon the extreme edge of the town we came on ruined houses, ahd then the wild est picture of war. We wondered how it was possible that men could hold cut there. They did so in winter, too. Water lies everywhere under the soil {; thrust of the stick and it Oozes forth. One can only go through trenches on boards. The dugOuts stand a foot and more full of water. The breastworks of sand and earth must be lifted above the level and so afford scarcely any cover for shooting.
 The effect Of constant b3mbard- ments has rendered the country i'm passable Terrible is the working or our storm batteries around the region of tue advance. The wire has entirely broken, the trenches have fallen in :: there is water everywhere in small, great and colossal shell holes. Last years holes have almost a romantic air, with flowers and wild things. A wounded man who fell into one of these holes with no one to aid him must surely drown.
 Communications here are only pos sible on concrete roads, which are built over the mud flats. Right and left of the causeways are broken stumps of trees, shell cases, bombs, the bodies of horses and even of men. On the roads is an endless procession of wagons, carts, automobiles and col umns of troops. German airmen fly above to protect them.
 "Feverish work goes on on all sides. The shell holes are filled with slabs Of concrete and pontoons are thrown over holes that are too deep to fill All this work has to be done under constant attacks from the air and from long-range guns"
