Why We Should Buy Liberty Bonds.

Many people are asking why we should
buy Liberty bonds. Are we going to let
the Germans win in this great war
Hadn't the people of the United States
rather buy Liberty bonds than to be
slaves, as the Germans treated the people
of Belgium?
The people should buy a bond, be
cause if the Germans should win they
might take everything away from the
people of America.
The government needs money to pay
the brave men who are fighting for their
country. They have to have the money
to feed and clothe our brave men who
are in Uncle Sans service. 1t has to
pay the men who build our warships,
and pay the men who make ammunition.
Think of the money the government
has to pay for its ammunition and other
supplies to carry on the war. If the
people of the United States don't want
the Germans to rule them, they must
back the boys in the trenches.
Are we going to let the Germans treat
us as they did the Belgians for the sake
of keeping our mopey? If not, we must
buy Liberty bonds, or the Germans will
win The Germans have taken their
eighth Liberty loan and they got many
billion dollars. Aren't the people of the
United States just as smart as the peo-
pie of Germany?
Are we going to be ruled by such a

Secretary Baker told the commit
tee that more American troops la
been sent to France on January 1 than
called for by the schedule. He OK
planned that in his calculations as to
what could be done he did not rely
entirely on American shipping but
would go no further at the public
hearing.
In explaining functions of the re-
organized war department bureau the
secretary said that while Edward r.
stettinus, the new surveyor general
of supplies, lacks technical legal au-
thority, he had broad powers in Sc
curing production with larger duties
than England's munitions director.
Legislation is unnecessary to secure

PRESIDENT TO BE GIVEN AU-

DEPARTMENTS.
Bill Introduced by Senator Overman
at Suggestion OF Prcsidcnt--Will
Change Character of Controversy in
Congress.

Washington, Feb. 6.-Almost coin
cident with Secretary Bakers reap
committee today for cross examina-
tion upon his recent statement Of
what America is doing IN the war, the
administration answer to congression~
al agitation for war cabinet and
munitions director was given by intro
duction in the senate Of bill trans
mitted by President Wilson. which
would give the president blanket au-
thority to reorganize and coordinate
all federal departments, bureaus,
agencies. officials and persons.
The new measure was taken to the
capitol by a personal representative Of
the president and introduced by Sena-
tor Overman, Democrat. soon after
Mr.. Baker has suggested to the mill
tary committee that such legislation
was necessary. 1t would empower the
president to completely make over the
executive branches of the government
for the period of the war. rearrange
existing agencies and their functions
and establishing such new ones as lie
might see fit
There has been no intimation so far
of any specific action under the bill
the president has in mind nor of how
quickly the measure is to be pressed
for passage. 1t was referred to the
judiciary committee. One move which
some officials say is contemplated is
the appointment of chairman OF the
war industries board, q post now va
cant. ana the investment Of the Office
with powers similar to those proposed
for the director of munitions.
The military committee did not get
far with It's examination of Mr. Baker
although he was on the stand TO"
three hours, because he demurred at
telling in open session the basis for
his assertion that the prospects were
not unpromising for enough ships to
put 100000 American soldiers in
France THIS year. After much dis L.
cussion during which Senator Hitch
cock. who had termed the secretary's
statement wildly exaggerated ana
Npreposterous," insisted upon an an
swer to his questions. the committee
agreed that the information should be
given in secret session and Mr.. Bake
promised to prepare a statement for
the purpose.

Washington, Feb 7.-Torpedoed

Cunard liner Tuscania bearing g.
179 officers and men of the Thirty
second National Guard Division, lies

Reports today are that at least 16S

On the basis of figures reported to
the war and state departments here,
the missing would be 267, but the
figures of the British admiralty as
they stood early today, however,
placed the missing at 1853. There is
every hope that the lower number
may prove correct.
The reports available give no details
Of the disaster. but it is regarded as
probable that the vessel stumbled on
the submarine rather than that the
disaster was the first shot in the
much advertised German offensive
against Americans.
