after Secretary of War Baker had
told the Committee on Military Af-
fairs that the activity of the war
machine would be accelerated We're
the President given authority to re-
organize, coordinate and transfer
functions of various departments,
boards and bureaus and If further
authority were given him to sus-
pend for the time of the war what
he might regard as restrictive stat
utes.
In other words, Secretary Baker
sketched the bill which Senator
Overman introduced, and his testi-
mony and the bill itself We're to-
night regarded as evidence that the
administration has finally recogniz-
ed the keen necessity for co-ordina-
ton and cooperation between the
various war bureaus and depart
ments and seeks to bring it about

proposed.

In endless columns they pass, far whired;
Blown from the drifts of forgotten ways,
And life knew in another world;
y world of ease and of softer dreams
Where Fate had furnished the best of it,
Where my tent pitched by the singing
That sang Of home-and the rest of it,
Shadows of years-ghosts of old days
Shadows and ghosts-n the grip of Fate
Is it only dream through the winter haze,
When the drill is long where the big guns wait?
Did ever live in world that knew
The softer dreams, with the home fires lit?
And if I did, and the dream is true,
How many it?
Friendly faces L to know
Gather out of the mist again,
Only to fade the bugles blow
And the long line gathers of marching men;
Frinedly faces l miss
From the softer where the old dreams fit;
But if 1 lived in world like this
How many it?
