Ordered to Take Course.

Lieut.. Charles Miller. Company c. has
been ordered to take a special course in
machine gunnery at the Fort Sill. Ark.
School of Fire. He will study approved
systems of developing barrage fire with
machine guns.
The heavy type of gun which the
District men are destined to operate in
France is used exactly in the same way
as artillery in creating a barrage. The
bullets travel in a conical zone, four
to ten yards above the heads Of troops
making the assault, and catch the
enemy just after the heavier artillery
barrage is lifted.
Medical officers at Camp Meade take
exception to the accusation that this
captonment is unhealthy and that the
base hospital is not in a satisfactory
condition. Such charges have given
rise to wild rumors.
In order that correspondents may re-
port the true conditions existing at the
hospital. Gen. Nicholson has. arranged
for newspaper men to go to the base
hospital in a body this afternoon and
inspect every nook and Granny.

BELIEVES IN POLICY
| OF GENERALIZATION
Secretary Baker Committed to
Such Plan for Buying War
Materials.

Secretary Baker of the War Depart
ment is definitely committed to policy
of Capitalization in buying munitions
and war materials. The Secretary has
| informed members of Congress and OF
the Council of National Defense OF
this determination.
But Secretary Baker does not believe
that additional legislation. such as
that contained in the Chamberlain bill
for a munitions director. is needed to
bring about Capitalization. He be-
lieves the executive arm of the govern
Pent already has adequate power to
Invest with all needful authority an
agency for such a purpose.
Secretary Baker and his advisers are
understood to hold that passage of leg
islation on this point would result in
making the agency in question less
flexible and less responsive to chang
ing conditions.
In view of these opinions now held by
Secretary Baker it was generally be-
lieved today that President Wilson at
any time may announce a new chairman
of the War Industries Board, and clothe
that board with the broader powers neces-
for the war-making branches of the gov-
ernInent
Though it has been generally conceded
that Bernard NJ. Baruch. member of
the board. would be made chairman, it
also has been reported that Edward r.
Stettinius. the recently appointed surveyor
general of supplies for the War Depart
ment is being considered as a member OF
the board. 1t is believed that Mr. Baruch $
knowledge Of buying and trade matters
StpffinirYS' hrn
knowledge in that field. plus the lat
ter's grasp of the production end of in
dustry. would make an effective COM
bination.
