IRepubIlcan 4. p. Leased wIre1

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2O.- Early compromise in the senate on legislation for further coordination and re-or- ganization of the governments war making agencies appeared in sight to- night as a result of negotiations be- tween democratic and republican lead CTS for revision of the Overman bill which would give President Wilson greater freedom of action.
 Amendments virtually agreed upon promise largely to harmonize differ ences and secure support from all sides except the group of senators unaIter- ably insisting upon the military con- mittees bill for a war cabinet and mu- nitions director. President Wilson was said to have no objection to the changes proposed and tomorrow it is expected that the senate judiciary sub- committee, headed bye Senator Over- man, will re-draft the bill.
 As it is proposed to amend the meas ure, the president would not be given any new substantive authority and the provisions in the Overman bill which republicans have regarded as confer ring new and too broad powers upon the president, are to be eliminated. The amendments however would retain the principal provisions authorizing the president to transfer departments, bu- reaus, commissions and other agencies and their personnel as he might deem necessary to effect greater co-ordina tion and efficiency in prosecuting the war. It is proposed to strike out a clause giving the president power 'tc employ by executive order any addi- tional agency or agencies and to vest therein the performance of such func- tions as he may deem appropriate. :

an at the meeting was made to think as he or she had never considered the matter before; that self denial was if your army or our allies are provided with the things they must have in the successful prosecu- ton of the great war.
 Half-way comfortable savings was not enough, the speaker insisted; it must be a saving that is felt before it has any real effect.
 Savings accounts in banks should not be counted as real war savings, the speaker declared; these savings should be invested in Wan Savings Stamps, and the savings account made good in other ways.
 The verified tales of atrocities com mitted by the Germans in Belgium and Northern France as related by Mir. Cullen, the personal representative of Herbert Hoover. who was in Phoenix short time ago, were repeated by Mir. Aller, to the horror of the audience.
 At the conclusion of the address, the organization of the society was ef- fected. There were so many at the meeting that the pledge cards were exhausted before all had signed, but the following signed the pledges to invest from s1 to B each week in War Savings Stamps until the close of the war. or until the need no longer ex- isted:

FIGHT FUR REFORM
 |S IN FINAL STAGE
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

AMSTERDAM, Feb. 21.-In the low CT house of the Prussian diet, Berlin advices say, the fight for electoral re- form in Prussia is now entering it's final stage. The contest in the special commission now centers around the choice between the government pro- gram for equal and direct secret suf- frage and the conservatives substitute measure which provides for a system of plural voting and representation based on professions and guilds.
 While Vice President F'riedberg of the Prussian diet has hinted that the government might make a concession by revising certain essential provisions of its suffrage measure, the liberal and radical members of the commission vigorously oppose any modification of the governments attitude as repeatedly set forth by Chancellor von Hertling. Dr. Friedberg and Dr. Drews. the Prussian minister of the interior.
 The commission today continued it's discussions of the cardinal paragraphs which are based on the principle "a man vote.' Unless the national lib- eral party representatives on the com mission are won over by the present minority the measure is likely to be re- ferred back to plenary session. with the basic principle of electoral reform wholly eliminated or vitally altered.

Patriots War Saving Pledge

Tn consideration of the services rendered by those who are sacrificing their lives for my home and liberty, and appreciating that my public duty calls for personal denial and self-sac- rifice. l hereby pledge myself to assist my country in the conservation of it's resources and man-power during the period of the war.
 "I will devote some moments of every day to determine wherein l can personally save clothes, food, fuel or other wealth.
 "G will readjust, so far as 1 can, my method of living so as to reduce my rersonal demands requiring the labor of others in order that my country's full effort may be exerted against our enemy.
 "I will invest those savings by my self-denial in War Savings Stamps and hereby pledge myself to invest s1 per week in such stamps"
 Personally signing the above pledge, 1O1 officials and employees at the Ari- zona state house Wednesday formed the State House War Savings Society"
 The organization took place at a meeting held in the senate chamber, following an address by Il. l.. Aller, city chairman of the War Savings campaign. Con P. Cronin was elected president of the society, and Jesse L.. Boyce. secretary. The local State House War Savings society will be- come a part of the national society of the same nature.
 Mir Alters address was a ringing plea for personal sacrifice in the con- servation of all those things so urg- ently needed by the country in the winning of the war. He brought home 10 the audience the vital need of thrift in daily life, of saving in food, in clothing, in the use of gas, electricity in laundry and in everything that calls for the labor of men or women who otherwise might be employed in work for the government.

A Service That
Works Both Ways

Yet it must not be forgotten that the
Home Communication Service operates
both ways Often it is news from home
that the men themselves, worried and
anxious because of lack of news, seek
through the Red Cross worker. This in
turn is sent direct to the Paris head
quarters, which forward the request to
the local home service or field repre-
sentative in the mans home town to
investigate.
In urgent cases the cables are used
Such was the case of Private Temple

worker one day "He's going out of his

himself the worker learned that his wife

that this spirit is kept at white heat, so
to speak, during the trying period of
reconstruction upon which we are enter
ing. Let us keep up our block parties
IN honor of our returning troops, our
community meetings and dances, and
most of all let us keep up the community
singing We have seen what has been
accomplished by community singing in
the way of raising the morale not only
of the army and navy but of the workers
in our industrial plants, in our depart
ment stores, in the shipyards, in NUM-
lions factories as we'll as in the smaller
gatherings in our churches and our
homes.
Charles Schwab, in a speech made
at Willow Grove not long ago, gave his
opinion of community singing:
Choral work gives expression to the
soul of the whole people They are not
art, but soul. When groups Of people

previous wars, the War of the Revolu-
ton and the War of the Rebellion. that
1t is bound to have the support of every
right minded citizen in the country.
The idea of building these Liberty
Houses was suggested by the War
Camp Community Service to one of our
leading architects, who was so impressed
with 1t that he put it before the Beaux-
Arts Society of Architects, which imme-
dlately voted to make the design for a
Liberty House" the subject of its
annual competition. The design which
WINS this competition will be used by the
War Camp Community Service as it's of
f1clal design. With this cooperation we
need have no fear of the artistic side of
the enterprise; we may rest assured that
any building which has the sanction of
the Beaux-Arts Society will be an orna-
ment of which any community NAV be
proud.

''For ten days l hardly dared step

letters be as intimate as possible, full
of little memories of the man as the
workers and those Of his pals in the
same ward knew him. With the stress
of other duties and when a man has only
been in the hospital few hours, these
are sometimes difficult to obtain. One
searcher recently reported that it was
her task to write home of the death of
one man, badly wounded, who had died
only few hours after admission to the
hospital. And yet, thinking of her let
ter, received far away in America by
his mother, she could not bear to send
it pitiably bare Of details. So, leaving it
unsealed, she went out on her last visit
to the ward for the day. There, by a
lucky chance, she found new arrival,
just in, who knew the soldier.
"Know him? Why, bless your heart,
yes He was our baker and sure one
fine pal. Wouldn't go on sick leave,

With the rest of the boatload, thanks to

Local Enterprise 10
Meet Local Needs

These Liberty Houses" will be
financed for the most part by the various
socletles and clubs, as we'll as by the sub
scriptions of the citizens in the town IN
which they are built, with the HELM. of
course, of the War Camp Community
Service.
In the town of Manhattan, Kan. the
War Camp Community Service has what
1t considers model Community House"
Although not from an artistic stand
point as to the exterior, inside it
is as comfortable and cosey as one would
wish. Manhattan has population of
only about 5000 people, but it is the
nearest town to two great camps, Fort
Riley and Camp Funston, and the build-
ing was erected for the comfort and en-
tertainment of men from these c.r,ns
The townspeople contributed between
$4,000 and $4,000 for the erection NJ
the building and the Rotary clubs of the
district added $4,000 more. The War
camp Community Service controls the
building and is responsible for it's main
tenance so long as Fort Riley and Camp
Funston are on war basis. After the
war the building Will be taken over bv
the city government of Manhattan and
become Community Centre-a Liberty
House"-dedicated to the memory of the
men of Manhattan and the surrounding
district who gave up their lives in the
great World War.
Although at first thought the problem,
OF erecting these Liberty Houses" in the
big cities may seem more difficult than
IN the case Of smaller community. II
really is not complicated at all. The
plan of the War Camp Community Ser
vice is to divide the larger cities into
districts, each one of which is to have
its own Liberty House" to be erected in
memory of the men who went into the
service from that district. Can YOU see
what personal thing this would be to
every man, woman and child in that dis
trict, every one of whom must have
known at least one of the heroes in whose
memory it is erected?
Can you think of a more fitting me-
mortal for the men who died for democ-
racy than building dedicated by their
own families and friends to the STRENGTH
ening and enriching of community life

to be held up while train of motor lor-
ries, hauling shells, goes by, and then
every one cusses in unison-all that
mixed pell-mell on one narrow road
that's the great, big machinery of war
that keeps up nights. And there is never
whimper from any of the boys because
each one knows it's the little part he is
doing in licking the Hun, and he re-
solves there and then to go at him all the
stronger to repay for all the petty in
conveniences and annoyances Oh yes
and it always finishes up with a good rain
storm-a move wouldn't be complete
without a good soaking
Time for dinner now, which interests
me strangely

From a Soldiers Letters

wish you could see the rear areas
just before a big attack Most of the
moves are made at night; cussing infan-
try on foot, slushing through the mud
troops bowling up in motor trucks,
on fat motor trucks; heavy guns clanlI-
ing and snorting along behind tractors
snappy .75s tearing along with roaring
horses and swearing drivers-clumsy
tanks, skidding and pounding away and
blocking the road; solo riders and side
cars that splash one with mud; a couple
of Boche planes overhead, dropping
huge flares and nasty bombs; the rushing
of ambulances; the unintelligble cries
of French M. P.'s, much outraged Then
the mess reaches crossroad Just in time
