OF Industry"
WILL ELIMINATE
ALL COMPETITION
Final Determination of.
Questions of Priority
With the Board
CBy Associated Press.)

Washington, March 6.-Reorgani-
zation OF the war industries board
with Bernard M. Baruch of New York
as chairman and with vastly in
creased powers to control the output
Of American industry during the war,

dent Wilson.
Final determination of all questions
Of priority in deliveries to any de-
partment of the United States gov
eminent and to the allies, is vested
in the board, and 1t is charged with
ordinatfng and anticipating the
needs of any Of these, creating or
improving facilities for production
and advising as to prices.
Much Of the power is given to the
chairman, with the board acting in
an advisory capacity. and he, the
President says should act as the
general eye of all supply depart
ments in the field of industry"
Through the board 1t Is proposed
to eliminate all competition for sup

ments and the allies, thus meeting
in a measure at least. the demand in

err. There we're suggestions today
that the action now announced was
one Of the steps contemplated by the
President when he sent to the senate
the bill now pending to enlarge his
powers for reorganizing and CO.
ordinating government agencies, and
that the delay In bringing the meas
ure to a vote, CAUSED him to proceed
without waiting for legislation. If
the bin is passed, it will be possible
to make more specific some of the
authority now given the industries
board.
The President prescribed the new
duties Of the board in a letter to Mr..
Baruch requesting him to accept the
Craftsmanship as successor to nDantel
willard who recently resigned to de-
vote his entire attention to his duties
as president OF the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad and as chairman Of the

Washington, March 6.-Complaint
was issued today against Sears Roe
buck * Co., OF Chicago, by the fed
eral trade commission, charging I'M
fair methods of competition in the
conduct of its business.
The complaint summons the firm
to answer a charge that it has
advertised sugar for sale at to
cents a pound, actually at a loss but
only upon condition that certain
amounts Of other groceries be pur-
chased for which a sufficient price is
charged to make a profit on the COM
bined sale.
The complaint further charges that
Sears Roebuck & Co., with the pur-
pose of injuring competitors. has
circulated catalOgs representing the
quality Of merchandise sold by its
competitors as inferior.

Balloons Are Up.
Observation balloons were up for
the first time in several days, being
stationed at intervals along the front
as far as the eye could see in both
directions. For the first time in the
war an American observation bal
loon, fully manned and protected by
Americans went up. This is the first
complete unit of the American air
service to appear in the field. For
two days it had been ready to
ascend, the observers having been up
in French balloon several days
previously. Today an American bal
loon company was working where
the French hitherto have been.
The balloon was hauled out from
it's hidden nest and a slight delay
was experienced in getting 1t of the
ground because the telephone wires
from the basket, in which were an
American captain and lieutenant
were fouled. This was quickly rem.
edied and the balloon was sent up,
remaining in the air several hours. It
rose higher than either the French
or the German in an attempt to reach
an altitude specially favorable for
observation.
While it was at the highest point
the watchers saw two airplanes,
with the black cross of the enemy on
their wings, headed in their direc-
ton. The balloon was hauled down
so that it might be grounded quickly
If necessary. American gunners were
on duty at many places nearby, for
the balloon was protected heavily
They stood by their guns but the en-
envy planes, sailing across the sky
with shrapnel puffs streaming out
behind them like the tail Of a comet,
changed their course and
headed for home. The appearance
of squadron of planes from behind
the American lines bearing the insig-
MIA OF the French on their wings
probably was the cause.
