WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 10.
central control to conquer
the kaiser" is the slogan to be
dinned into the ears of congress.
Senator Chamberlain today
completed plans to press next
week for immediate action on
two bills, summing up the re-
suits to date of the investigation
of the war department.
The measures are Cd bill
creating a director of munitions
to be given control of purchases
of everything needed to arm or
equip the army, navy, shipping
board and allies and (2) a bill
creating a war council of from
three to five members who, next
to the president, will have SUI
preme control of the war pro-
gram.
The director of munitions bill
already has been reported to the
senate and the war council meas
ure is expected to go in Monday.
Having launched these meas
ures, the committee plans to
continue its investigation, TAX
ing up cantonment, aviation and
the medical corps.
The purpose of the two bills is
to eliminate competition among
various war-making agencies: to
coordinate all purchases; to end
delays due to conflicting author
ity; to provide a supreme, CEN
trail authority which can antici-
pate needs and plan ahead for
them; to organize and adapt the
country's Industrial resources to
war needs, without unduly strain
ing these resources.
IL the committees plan is
adopted the war organization will
work this way:
The war cabinet will be COM
posed of Secretary of War Baker,
Secretary Of the Navy Daniels
and from one to three others,
preferably civilians of the high
est business training and expe-
rience.
This council, responsible to
no one but the president, will
settle all questions of priority be-
tween government departments
needing the same supplies.
The munitions director will put
all disputes up to the war coun-
ell. Its rulings VIII be final.

BY CYNTHIA Grey

If man did not flatter Woman
so much, Woman would not feel
deeply wronged so often.
Man tells woman she is obso-
lutely his only interest in life.
And then he goes off to a base
ball game, or the Commercial
club. Day after day. And woman
does not understand. That is ev-
'erlastingly the trouble with wom-
ian. She never understands any
of the interests of man which are
not directly connected with her.
self.
Business she graciously permits
to proceed without attempting to
understand it, and without inter-
ference, because 1t very directly af-
fects her personal comfort. But
mans play, without herself in the
game, can never be explained to
her satisfaction.
But let no fan blame his wife
for this attitude. Rather, let him
try to count the hundred thou
sand times he has told her that
he is wretched except when she is
by his side, and that the end of
all his effort is to get thru with
his daily grind ana to fly home to
her.
For some day, in a mood of mad
adventure wife will go to the
game and find out that friend fan
wants her any other place than by
his side.
Now comes the season of the
year when woman rejoices; base
ball games come to their end.
Perhaps man will return to his
specially of flatering woman.
And maybe he will-but he will
never stop playing at something
else, no matter what he says, and
woman's happiness depends large
lily upon realizing this.
