Washington, Jan. 5.-Further proof
Of the sweeping character of the
powers vested in the commanders
in-chief Of the American naval and
military forces in Europe has been
| disclosed in connection with the re.
turn to this country for duty OF Rear
Admiral William B. Fletcher, former
head Of the naval department in
French waters and Major General
William L. Sibert, who commanded
the first American troops sent to
France.
Confirmation was given today to
reports that Admiral Fletcher had
been replaced by Rear Admiral Will
son because Vice Admiral Sims felt
that the latter officer was better 1T
ted for the particular duties imposed
by the post. Similarly, it is under
stood, although there was no formal
announcement from the war depart
ment, that the return Of General ST.
bert was due to General Pershing's
conclusion that the arduous task of
training a division in France could
Ger.
The fact that Admiral FIetcher's
return to await assignments to duty
probably as commandant OF an i'm
portant navy yard, conceded with
publication of reports that investi-
cation Of the loss Of the American
army transport Antilles, with 81
lives foreshadowed a naval shakeup,
led to the direct connection of these
two incidents. 1t was explained Of
ficially today, however, that the de-
cision to replace Fletcher had been
made by Admiral Sims prior to the
sinking OF the transport.
The question reviewed by Admiral
Sims in reaching his decision, it is
understood, had to do with the use
made of the limited nj mber OF de-
stroyers or other craft assigned to
convoy work. The number has been
greatly increased recently.

this of high import. but our COM
manders need very much more GER
tain information as for instance,
when the men in the first trench line
are to be relieved.
In trench warfare, the men Of
course cannot stay in the trenches all
Of the time, and they are usually re-
lieved during the night time, which
means more or less confusion,
"choked" trenches, etc. If our at
tack can be timed at such a period,
it is naturally more easy to win a
trench than when the regular forces
are in charge. The noise and the talk
Of the relieving party should usual
ly be loud enough to give such in
formation away over the sensitive
microphone.
OF course, scheme of this kind
can readily be improved upon in
many ways, and we leave this to our
able Signal Corps attendants at the
front.

Is THE ONLY SOLUTION
Congressman Miller Sees NO Hope OF
German Revolution While Army
is Victorious.
~ Assoeiated Press. }

st. Paul, Jan. 5. THE German
military power will be crushed only
through the destruction Of the Ger
man army in the field. There viii
be no instruction in the empire to
overthrow the Kaiser and the Ger
man people will not be starved out
Peace talk must be dropped and the
United States prepare TO deliver the
final blow that will put the German
military giant down forever"
This was the message delivered by
Representative G. b. Miller OF Du-
luth at the auditorium in the open
ing meeting of the Ramsey county
loyalty campaign.
The Duluth solon who just recently
returned from a tour OF the allied
battle fronts, painted vivid picture
OF war torn Europe. He advocated
the sending Of from three to Ave mil
lion fighting men to Europe so that
the work OF crushing Germany can
be done quickly and well. In urging
his hearers TO stop the peace talk,
the Duluth representative said: I'VE
don't want peace without a complete
victory"
