Washington, March 5.--Contention
in the senate over the administration
bill, to create a war finance corpor-
alton continued today, again prevent
ing action on the measure after sharp
clashes between its advocates and op-
ponents, and an effort by Secretary
McAdoo to compose their differences.
Attack was centered on the provis-
ION establishing a capital committee
to license security issues of $1G0, 600
and over, republican leaders joining
with democrats of the banking com
mittee in the fight on the legislation.
NO progress was made on amend
ments and an early session of the SEN
ate tomorrow was arranged. Admin
istration leaders were doubtful as to
whether the licensing plan could be
retained
Secretary McAdoo was invited to a
conference of banking committee
members and other senators and is
said to have urged passage Of the bill
substantially as 1t is pending in the
senate. Later, during debate on the
floor, Senator Hollis of New Hamp-
shire, a democratic member of the
committee, broadly intimated that ad-
ministration influence had dominated
the consideration of the bill and
that Secretary McAdoo had outlined
just what matter should and should
not be discussed or changed. This
drew a sharp retort from Senator

Washington, March 3. --- Reorgan-
izaton of the war inouss .as board
with Bernard NJ. Baruch of New York,
as chairman and with vastly increased
power to control the output of Ameri-
can industry during the war, was an.
nounced today by President Wilson.
Final determination of all questions
of priority in deliveries to any de-
partment of the United States gov
ernment and to the allies is vested
in the board, and it is charged with
co-ordinating and anticipating the
needs of any of these, creating or i'm
proving facilities for production and
advising as to prices.
Much of the power is given to the
chairman, with the board acting in an
advisory capacity and he, the presi-
dent SAYS, should "act as the general
eve of all supply departments in the
field of industry"
w" fiHiiihate competition.
Through the board it Is proposed to
eliminate all competition for supplies
between the various departments and
the allies, thus meeting IN a measure
at least, the demand in congress for
Capitalization of power. There We're
suggestions today that the action was
one of the steps contemplated by the
president when he sent tc, the senate
the bill now pending to enlarge his
powers for reorganzing and co-ordln-
ating government agencies.
The president prescribed the new
duties of the board in letter to Mr..
Baruch requesting him to accept the
chairmanship as successor to Daniel
Willard, who recently resigned to de-
vote his entire attention to his duties
as president of the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad and as chairman of the adj

visory commission of the council OF
national defense.
The presidents letter to Mr..
Baruch follows:
The Presidents Letter.
Il am writing to ask If you will not
accept appointment as chairman of
the war industries board, and I am
going to take the liberty at the same
time of outlining the functions, the
constitution and action of the board
as | think they should now be estab-
lished.
"The functions of the board should
be:
1.-THE creation of new facilities
and the disclosing, IL necessary, the
opening up of new or additional
sources of supply;
"2-The conversion of existing fa-
cilities where necessary to new uses;
"3-The studious conservation OF
resources and facilities by scientific
commercial and industrial economies;
"4-Advice to the several purchas-
ing agencies of the government with
regard to the prices to be paid;
''5--The determination wherever
necessary of priorities of production
and of delivery and of the proportions
of any given article to be made i'm
mediately accessible to the several
purchasing agencies when the sup
ply of that article is insufficient,
either temporarily or permanently;
"6-The making of purchases for
the allies.
Other Members Advisory.
THE board should be constituted
as at present and should retain, so
far as necessary and so far as con-
sistent with the character and pur-
poses of the reorganization, its pres
cnt advisory agencies; but the ulti-
mate decision of all questions, except
the determination of prices, should
rest always with the chairman, the
other members acting in co-opera-
tive and advisory capacity. The fur
ther organization of advice will in
dicate below.
In the determination OF priorites
of production, when it is not possible
to have the full supply OF any article
that Is needed produced at once, the
chairman should be assisted, and so
far as practicable, guided by the pres
ent prorities organization or It's
equivalent.
Deliveries Provided For.
TN the determination of priorities
of delivery when they must be de-
termined he should be assisted when
necessary in addition to the present

advice and cooperation Of a commit
tee constituted for the purpose and
consisting of official representatives
of the food administration, the fuel
administration, the railway admin
istration, the shipping board and the
war trade board, in order that when
a priority of delivery has been de-
termined there may he common, con-
sistent and concerted action to carry
it into effect

! London, March 5.-"Our allies are

but despite glowing reports in the
American press and great as the eff

/ is no doubt a considerable time must
eapse before the desired output is OBJ
! tanned"
Sir Eric, whose address was deiv-
cred in the house of commons, said
the naval forces of the allies in Euro
pean waters would be augmented
! shortly by a force of Brazilian war
ships.
II became increasingly evident, the
first lord went on, that as the re-
sources for combating the subma-
rines improved II would be possible
to turn attention more to the Medi-
terranean.N
1t was perhaps natural, Sir Eric
continued, that cooperation between
Great Britain and the United States
should be extremely close. On behalf
of himself and his colleagues he wish
ed publicly to pay tribute to the whole
hearted and generous devotion to
prosecution of the war which govern
ed the action of every representative
of the United States navy with which
they came into contact. The per-
sonnel of all ranks, he said, had the
respect and esteem OF the officers of
the British navy.
Not Building Fast Enough.
Concerning shipbuilding, he said
there was no lack of materials at the
present time and that there were more
men in the yards, but the output
reached only $4,000 tons in January,
although it should have been much
larger. 1t was true the weather was
exceptionally bad and also that jan
uary, owing to the holidays, always
was a bad month for the output of
ships. One week or one month
could not be taken by itself. He ex-
pressed the opinion that February
would be shown to have made nearly
twice as good record as January
although only about two-thirds of
what the same yards had done prev |
iously with fewer men.

Democrats Win Easily.

In all the districts the democratic
nominees WIRE elected over their re-
publican opponents by comfortable
margins. The most surprising feature
was the fact that in the Twenty sec
ond district, which includes part of
the borough of the Bronx the vote
cast for the socialist candidate exceed
ed by approximately zoo that given
the republican nominee. The socialist
vote in the other districts was negli-
gible.
The only district which had a WON.
an candidate was the .Twenty-first,
where Mrs. Mamie Colvin ran on the
prohibition ticket. Her vote was 3S2
out of total of 23,92S.
In the same district the Rev. Rev
erdy Ransom, negro, who was de-
MED a place on the ballot because the
courts ruled there were not enough
names on his nominating petition, re-
ceived 465 votes. There are many
thousands of colored voters IN the
district and Ransom sought the re.
publican nomination against John A.
Bolles. When it was refused him he
became the candidate of the United
Colored league

Election officials who had predicted
that the, advent of women as voters
would slow up the election machinery
progressed to have been pleasantly sur

women acted more intelligently and
voted more expeditiously than the
men. Many of the new voters were
accompanied to the polling places by
their husband and not few of them
trundled baby carriages.
