Pretty to walk with" seems to be
the motto of the British woman de-
spite tho fact that war should occa-
sion strict limitation in fancy wearing
apparel, says one British official. The
government is attempting to combat
the tide Of elaborate dressing which is
sweeping England. Woman's longing
for clothes is being gratified because of
the high wages paid them in various
branches of war endeavor. One pub
licist says:
"Whene'er we ride in bus or car,
One thought our mind assails:
How very smart the women are.
How shabby are the males"
French girls go about their tasks in
various industries singing songs of
patriotic and enthusiastic over their
present ability to help the nation In its
hour of peril.
Admiral Sims. who commands the
American naval forces in European
waters, Is especially obnoxious to the
kaiser and Won Tirpitz. 1t will be re-
| membered that some eight years ago
the American naval officer in a speech
in London said that If ever England
was in peril the American Navy would
| burn to como to her rescue.
| Girls in the forest service Of Great
Britain are adept in cutting, measur-
| ing and loading logs. They reside in
camps in the great woods. Much of the
| forestry work of the nation now is
| Icing carried on by women. Many
laborers have been imported and they
arc called "porchias."
| Field Marshal Won Hindenburg likes
| to play chess. He is tyrannical in his
game. People whom he can beat do
not care to play with him, and those
| that can master him are not to his
! liking.
An odd case came before a military
tribunal in France a few days ago. A
soldier stole $25 and one of his pur-
chases was Bible.
| A certain British soldier lost both
| speech and reason after a particularly
severe artillery battle on the western
front. He was invalided back to a Lon
don hospital for treatment His identity
was unknown, as his tag had been lost.
| A woman was informed by the war
office that her husband had been re-
ported missing after battle. She believ-
| ed he might be. found in some hospital
ana hunted all over LONDON. In one
she heard a man cry out her given
name. The unidentified soldier was her
husband, he having recovered both rea-
| son and speech on sight of her.

TWO WAR B|LLSARE
/. PLANNED IN SENATE
Director of Munitions and War
Cabinet Advocated by Pro-
posed Measures.

| The Senate military affairs committee is
preparing two bills for early introduction
| in the Senate. One provides for a war
cabinet similar to those of Great Britain
| and France The other would centralize
munitions.
According to present plans the war cab
| met would consist of five members. the
| Secretary of War. Secretary of the Navy
and three civilians to be appointed by the
President and confirmed by the Senate.
Under the President.
The plan of the committee for the war
council is to have it under the President,
but wholly Independent of the cabinet.
1T would sit with and advise the Presi-
dent in forming broad policies. similar to
the British war cabinet and the French
war ministry" said Chairman Chamber
lain. 'It would give coordination now
lacking in central direction of all the
governments war operations"
The bill to establish a director of NUM-
| tions is modelled after the British law.
The committee proposes that the d.
rector should be subordinate only to the
war council and the President and not
the cabinet. taking over many supply
functions of the war. navy. shipbuild-
ing and other branches. The director
would have control of all war supplies,
their production. purchase, transporta
ton and distribution.
Rejected the Proposals.
The title of director of munitions"
was definitely decided upon by the COM
mittee and written into the redrafted
bill by the subcommittee. which re-
jected proposals to call the head of
the new agency the director Of war
industries"
The committee received from Director
Clifford of the Council of National De-
fense suggestions for centralizing mu
nitions and war industrial control.
1T is proposed that the council should
sit continuously and be in constant |
touch with the President" Senator
said. Certainly three
civilian members could do so easily. 1t !
is proposed that this council have su- |
preme authority. with the President, in |
broad, general war policies |
and enforcing them upon subordinate
oificerS.''
1t is intended that the President shall |
appoint the director of munitions, sub |
ject to confirmation by the Senate.

head OF the United States Fuel Admin
istration, in which he says:
In connection with the order closing
down Industry for five days and subse-
auent Mondays. l am issuing an appeal to
Industries concerned, asking them not to
allow labor to suffer by reason of the
shutdown; that this is a war measure
which 1 confidently expect industry will
execute without shifting the burden to

GOMPERS SAYS BURDEN /
Of ORDER IS ON LABOR
Declares Workers Will Maintain
Their Loyalty in Following
Coal Mandate.

Although the workers of the nation
will be the greatest sufferers from the
fuel restriction order, they will main
tain their loyal stand despite their suf-
fering and sacrifices which they may
be called upon to bear" according to
a statement issued last night by Sam
uel Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor.
"The shutting down of all industries
for five continuous days is only war
ranted il based upon immediate emer-
gency, and / have some doubt if five
continuous days is the best measure"
said Mr.. Gompers. 1T certainly seems
very radical measure to meet the
problems of transportation.
Protests by Telegraph.
"I asn in receipt OF large number of
telegraphic protests from workers in
several parts of the country, declaring
that the effect of the orders will throw
their men out of employment; that due
to the high cost of living they have
been unable to lay anything aside. and
that their suffering during this period
will be very great.
I'm addition to this, ! am strongly of
the opinion that to place the industries of
the country upon an eight-hour basic
WOrkdaS, at ledSI curing lne War anu as
war measure. would have been a much
wiser and more practical course than the
| creation of legal holidays. which will mean
| holidays from Saturday afternoon until
Tuesday morning.
1.-THE workers, the masses of the peo-
| pie will be the greatest sufferers from this
new order. Others have been or viii be
| able to hoard their needs and supplies.
| OF course, the working people Of America
win maintain their loyal stand despite
their suffering and sacrifices which they
/ may be called upon to bear, and yet
everything must be done to see that they
are not made to suffer unnecessarily.

Wheat. Reports from Washington
show continued agitation over the
question of raising the price of wheat
to induce farmers to plan larger
acreage of spring wheat this season.
One Of the main arguments presented
is that the high prices for other grains
will have tendency to influence farm
ers to plant corn, oats, rye and barley
in preference to spring wheat A feat
urc of the situation, however, which is
not being given much prominence is
the fact that under the present gov
eminent guarantee of values the
farmer can plant his wheat with assur-
ance of receiving about 81 per bushel.
The clement Of risk in the other
grams IS OF necessity much greater,
and as an illustration of this reports
from the West show that cash corn
has dropped fully 90 cents per bushel
for the low grades at least, during the
past week. Oats have also declined
quite sharply and many believe that
similar Developments might easily &C.
cur in rye and barley.
Corn.-Priccs in the corn market on
Saturday experienced the sharpest
downward movement witnessed in
months. The May position in Chicago
declined cents n bushel from the
closing level Of Friday, making n per-
pendicular loss of 6h cents during the
week. That month sold at $1.2O7s, the
lowest price experienced since about
the middle of last December The
days operations were characterized by
active liquiGation and increased sell
ing, which was believed to be against
low grade corn. Cash markets in the
West were from 10 to SO cents lower,
With No. corn quoted ut from so
cents to 81. The better grades were
not so much affected, but they were
also heavy. The weakness in the mar
kct was attributed to increasing sup
