Red Cross Gets $1,000
From Flour Prohteer

The Red Cross was enriched by
$1,000 yesterday and Jacob Nathanson,
OF 50 Throop Avenue, Brpoklyn, escaped
the suspension Of his grocery business
for the period of the war through a
compromise with the Federal Food
Board after Nathanson had been proved
to be -four protiteer.
Nathanson was charged with selling
wheat and rye -four at profit exceed
ing 75 cents barrel, the maximum
fixed by the government. From Jan
uary II to March % he made $l,163.65
more than he would have realized had
he held his profit down to rs cents.
The first decision of the Food Board
was to revoke Nathansons license, but
on reconsideration it was decided to
permit him to continue business after
paying 81 900 to the Red Cross.

War Cabinet
Great Need to Make Ma
ton Efficient.

Let the reader try TO imagine the
president alone CO. ordinating and di-
recting at once the operations of the
nine cabinet departments--war, state.
navy. interior, treasury. commerce.
labor. agriculture, and justice; the
council of national defense; the food
and fuel administra tons. the shipping
board: the war industries board; the
board; the raw materials board, and
the committee on public information.
Merely to state the proposition answers
It, There is not, and cannot be, any
real war organization until the presi-
dent has an agency which shall con-
centrate for him all the war activities,
and provide him with machinery
through which to create and execute
a coherent, far-visioned. all embracing
plan.
The charge that congress seeks to
NEEDLE" in the war or to curtail the
necessary authority Of the comma nder-
in-chief is. Of course, utterly dishonest.
Those who invent this objection com
pare the demand for a war cabinet
with the ill-advised attempt during the
struggle of half a century ago to put
congressional committee over Presi-
dent Lincoln. There is no analogy
whatever between the two cases. No
rational person has suggested that con-
Eress or any other body should impair
in any degree the supreme authority
| of President Wilson in the conduct OF
the war. The demand Is merely that
, he shall name war cabinet to do what
he cannot possibly do---co- ordinate the
war activities of the nation and, under
the direction Of the commander
chief. devise and execute the means
for prosecuting the conflict.
1t is precisely because there il no
such co-ordfnating and supervising
agency that now. after being at war
for ten months. we have magnificent
shipping program, and no ships: the
richest coal deposits in the world. and
fuel famine. the greatest OF railroad
systems. and a collapse Of tranApoita-
ton; unparalleled textile and shoe In
dustries. and half clad soldiers: In
comparable resources and machinery
for steel working. and no guns; motor
geniuses without number. and a paltry
supply of motor trucks; unequaled ex-
perts in medicine and sanitation, and
camp hospitals without heat or water
supply or sewerage.
President Wilson. his partisans say,
would be "embarrassed' by a war cab
met of his own choosing. We should
be much more hopeful IL he were en-
harrassed by the deficiencies we have
cited. the results Of the disjointsd sys-
tenn ne would perpetuate.-Philad

In the matter of utter disregard for

French officers agree that the Corsi-
cans are superior to all other soldiers
