ASKS GOVERNORS FOR

WASHINGTON, February 4-Gen-
eral Manager Pez of the Emergency
Fleet Corporation, today asked COVER
nors of all States to help enroll 100000
workers in the shipyards by issuing
proclamatiOns calling mechanics to en-
roll in the United States public service.
without this great industrial army
ready to take its place as the need for
labor ever grows more urgent, we can
not carry out the shipbuilding program
ON which hangs the fate of our army
in France, and of our Allies the world
over" said the appeal to the gov
ernOTs.
"Men enrolled are not asked to rush
Immediately to the yards, but will be
drawn into service only as places are
found for them and in such fashion as
to disturb manufacturing conditions
throughout the country as little as pos
sible.'

The War Cabinet

DUBLIC thought should not be confused on the
question of the proposed war cabinet says
the Omaha Bee. Its establishment could not take
from the President any of his constitutional or
war powers, nor hinder him in his personal direC-
tion of affairs. The bill as presented to the senate
merely authorizes the President to name council
Of three men, subject to the approval Of the SEN
ate to form a central body under which shall be
coordinated all activities. The action of this
body on questions before it is to be final subcct
to review and approval by the President. 1t is
not expected the President would select men in
whom he had no confidence that the senate
would fail to confirm his choice
Machinery of department as at present
constituted has shown by its workings that it is
Inefficient as well as insufficient for the task as
signed TO it. No other country has tried to man
age its war business plan similar to ours.
Great Britain long ago up a war ministry
while France and Germany already were equipped
for the big job OF handling and supplying immense
bodies Of men III the field.
"A superior war council would eliminate much
OF the present cumbersome and diatory manage
ment Of army and navy; it would secure bet
ter results at less cost i'll time and money, and 50
would lives we'll as much energy
Its only possible reflection the President is that
4 would superscdc existing div ded control by cen
tralized operation. Mr. Nilsson would be provided
with responsible and responsive war council, in
stead Of the drrucatcd and narticuIate aggrcHa
lion Of bureaus and boards Whose best efforts So
Ear have brough, DISAPPOINTMENT
#}These facts make the President determined Op-
position ~ the plan all the more meNplicable
Read ustmcut of our army control must come
though, either through the President or through
congress if We are /" win i'll the war.

BIGGER Acreage OF =.
COTTON TO Be GROWN

SACRAMENTO, California, Febp-
airy 6-(Associated Press)-Informa
tion received by George H. Hess, state
commissioner of horticulture, indicates
there will be a big increase over 1917
in the acreage planted to cotton in Cal

ity of seed is expected to prove a fac.
tor in determining finally the area
planted to the product. Commissioner
Hecke said today.
scale than ever before in some sections
while in both the Imperial and Palo
Verde Valleys the acreage planted this
wear will be. increased it Is expected.
Between 5000 and 1000 acres will be
planted to cotton in sections of Glenn
County and Fresno County, according
to information received here by Hecke.
The Imperial Valley acreage last year
exceeded 100000 and that planted in
the Palo Verde Valley was approx
mately 10000 acres, according to
Hecke
Requests to raise the quarantine
against the importation Of cotton seed
from other States, particularly the
short staple seed from Texas, caused
Commissioner Hecke to communicate
with W. A. Taylor, chief of the bureau
of plant industry of the United States
department Of agriculture who advised
Hecke that the Pima variety of cotton
grown in Arizona is the only variety
likely to better the industry in Cali
fornia Importation of this seed al
ready is permitted. Taylor also wrote
! that stocks of good seed in Texas were
inadequate and that growers in the
State were facing the necessity of
importing seed.

German Papers Claim
Army Has Been Given
Orders to Cease Devastation

Amsterdam. Oct. 17.-(By the AS
ISOLATED Press)-According to the
Courant, the German newspapers this
evening were to publish the follow
ing communications: THE German
army command has brought military
measures into accord with the steps
taken for the conclusion Of peace.
The German armies have received or
ders to cease all devastation Of places
unless they are absolutely forced to
follow this course by the military sit
uation for defensive reasons. Never
theless it is to be expected that in
the gradual retreat properly will be
lost which is irreplacable by money
that is to say insofar as such dew
astation is inherent in the conduct
OF the war itself. and especially in
the bombardment of German posi-
tions by enemy artillery.
