WAR CABINET IS
DOOMED BY FIGHT
MADE BY WILSON
President DenounCes Senate
Program Creating Munitions
Administrator and Defends
Secretary Baker.

Washington, Jan. 22.-Prospects
for the enactment of legislation pro-
viding for a war cabinet and NUM-
tions administration were dimmed to-
day as the result of President Wilson's
unequivocal denunciation of the pro-
gram.
Replying to Senator Chamberlain's
reference in New York Saturday to
inaction and ineffectiveness in the
government, the president last night
issued a statement defending the war
preparations of the administration and,
reiterating his faith in the ability of
Secretary Baker.
Committee Will Proceed.
The senate military committee to-
day planned to proceed with the
legislative program despite the pres
ident's opposition, but generally it was
felt that the measures were destined
to meet defeat.
In reply to the presidents state
ment Senator Chamberlain, who is
chairman of the committee, declared
his speech in New York was an ex-
temporaneous one and his whole ar
gument directed at the military es-
tablishment and not at other depart
ments of the government, although it
was broad enough to admit of such
Interpretation.
Demos Unite.
President Wilson's denunciation of
Senator Chamberlain's attack on the
War department and his openly ex-
pressed approval of Secretary Baker
had the effect today of apparently
solidifying sentiment among senate
democrats who support the bill for
a war cabinet, despite the presidents
opposition.
Some of them met the announce
ment of President Wilson's determi-
nation to oppose the bill to the finish
with declarations of a similar pur-
pose to support it to finish, despite
the fact they may not gather
strength enough to compel congress
to accept it over the presidents dis
approval. \

Schmarya Levin, Zionist Lead
er, Declares Federation is
Out Of the Question; Talks
on Palestine.

Here l am sitting in the Fonts-

long vacation in Russian prison,
with my friends, Rodichev, Winnauer
and the ex-Foreign Minister Mill
ukof. What an opportunity l
missedw Schmarya Levin, form r
member of the Russian Duma, smiled
rueful smile.
Levin, leader in world Zionist af-
fairs and writer of note, lectured
last night in the Swedish auditorium
on the British declaration in favor
of the establishment of Jewish
homeland in Palestine.
LEADER Are One Sided.
Levin has no optimism for the Rus
sian situation. "The Bolsheviki have
no craftsmanship and they have not
the backing of the people. Lenine,
whom | know, and Trotzky are bril-
liant, highly educated men, but they
are one sided. Their goal is social
democracy and that ideal will never
flourish in Russia. Neither was
Kerensky the ideal man to hold the
power in Russia. Milukoff is the
man." said Levin.
The former Russian statesman is
confident that the Russias dissolved
during the process of the revolution
will never again be federated.
"The coming era is one of national
tiles. That's why this world war is

Lieut.. John r. Corners, with the American Expeditionary Pores, has written a letter to friends here in which he declares that the soldiers in the trenches see but d limited amount of activities and learn m ost of their news of American operations through the newspapers. His letter follows:
 "Yesterday I received your letter enclosing a check for one hundred francs and luckily today I have an opportunity to acknowledge it.
