Friendship Between Senator Ollie

Washington.-One reason why PreS-
ident Wilson opposes any Legislation
introducing additional officials III the
conduct of the war is because he Is
fully convinced that anything like d.
vided responsibility is conducive to IN
efficient prosecution or the war. he
has found that differences are constant
ly cropping out between the civil au-
thorities in England and France and
the military authorities of those ma
tons. While it is supposed that the
civil authorities in both countries are
really in control of the prosecution OF
the war, in reality the military are In
command OF the armies.
Conflicting requests are made by the
civil authorities upon the United
States, and the president has on sew
eral occasions been much puzzled in
regard to what he should do. The mil
itary authorities naturally want food,
munitions and soldiers sent over Tor
the armies. The civil authorities have
represented that food and clothing TOT
the civilian population is all-important
On account of the conflict existing the
president realizes that one man must
be commander in chief of the army
and of the navy, and also director or
the civil government in order to sue
cessfully prosecute the war.

the soil is very dry it is advisable to
use little water in the hole The wa

Since many radical or unusual or
with the war, it is not surprising
that another should be suggested in
the line of relieving the condition in
Washington. The national capital in
it's entire history never before had
such an experience as that which
it is now passing through. Not only
has the population been largely in
creased, but the winter has been
more severe than any ever known In
this region. There has been a greater
demand for food and fuel than ever
before. The prices of these absolute
necessities have been mounting higher
and higher, while it has been almost
impossible for people to obtain ade-
quate shelter owing to the comman-
deering by the government of many
apartment houses and other buildings.
together with the increased number of
people in the city.
The radical suggestion Is now made
that no more people be allowed to

ally having business with the govern
ment or having business with people
living here. 1t has even been sug-
gested that the order go further and
that those who do not have any bust
ness in Washington be required to
leave for some other place in order to
make room for those who must remain.
1t is not likely that orders of this kind
will be issued, but it seems strange
that people will continue to flock to
Washington in spite of the high cost
of living and the congestion that Is
found here.
Another idea which may be put into
effect and which will remove the neces-
sity of getting more clerks from other
sections is to transfer the regular gov
eminent clerks working on routine
work, particularly that which might be
postponed for year or two. and have
them employed in war work. Thou
sands of experienced clerks might be
released for this kind of service.

Men In congress have begun to
realize that they cannot fight the
president of their own party. This
applies especially to senators. Quite
a large number of Democrats for re-
election in, the near future have been
showing a disposition to take to
cover" This means that those who
have been rather severe critics of the
president for one thing or another have
recently changed their tactics TO a
considerable extent and are support

1t is also true that the history of
politics in connection with war shows
that the people generally sustain the
administration while the war is on.
Students of history have also brought

Occasionally pertinent injuries up
set some of the best arguments that a
man in congress may be making. That
has been particularly true In recent
criticisms passed upon FEDERAL officials
fol unexpected and disturbing orders,
such for instance as the order of Doc
toa Garfield closing down industries on
Mondays, and other actions by officials.
These inquiries take this form: did
not congress pass the laws under
which these orders We're issued?
Should not congress have thought of
these things when it passed the legis-
lation granting so much power to the
president?' Those are questions
which rather stump the man who may
be criticizing the priority orders. or
the orders which have interfered with
the ordinary course of life and bust
