 REoRGANazE FEDERAL AGENCIES
BY THE REP. MEMBERS
tn the House, In Defense of Baker
 Representative Mason, Rep- Said:
 sFor Gods Sake Let's Quit Fighting Each Other and Fight the kaiser.s

Washington, Feb. "A move in the senate by republican members in op- position of the new administration bill proposing to give to President Wilson blanket authority to reorganize and coordinate government agencies, 8 speech in the house by Representative Glass of Virginia denouncing critics of the government and temporary sus- pension of senate debate were today's developments in the controversy over war machinery reorganization.
 Republicans to Confer Tomorrow
 Morning.
 A conference Saturday morning of republican senators-the first held since the United States entered the war-was called late today by Repub-- lican Leader Gallinger to consider the new bill President Wilson sent to the senate yesterday Bitter opposition to the measure is expected openly by republicans and privately by several democratic leaders. There were twenty five signatures on the call for the republican conference
 The republicans also expect to con slider joint action on the administra- tion measure to create a war finance corporation which is being urged by Secretary McAdoo and upon other ad- ministration legislation. With the Overman bill injecting a new and unexpected element into the !! controversy, several senators planning ! addresses on the military committee s 1 war cabinet and munitions director bills postponed them and the senate 1 held but a brief session without re- newal of the debate.
 1 In the house Representative Glass praised the administrations war rec ord and denied Senator Chamberlain s declaration that the war department had broken down. He detailed army I achievements and declared ten times more troops had been sent to France than had been expected.
 Quit Fighting and Fight the Kaiser Representative Mason, republican, ot Illinois, who followed Representative Glass, told the house he admired Sec kretary Baker as asraank who could ad i department, and added: For Gods sake let's quit fighting each. other and fight the kaiser"

I amining Major seneral Wheeler, act ing chief of ordnance. and his aide. behind closed doors regarding ex plosives production.
 I When Secretary Baker will reaper ] before. the committee has not beer decided. His next testimony in con nectionf with the prospects of shipping troops to France, Senator Chamberlain
 said, probably will be in secret ses sion. Another public hearing, how ever, is probable later.

LATEST OFFICIAL REPORTS
 TO WAR DEPARTMENT
Accounted for All Except 113 Of The
 2,156 American Soldiers.

Washington, Feb. 7-IAtest official reports to the war department tonight accounted for all except z113 of the g. i56 American soldiers who were on the British liner Tuscania when submarine sent her down Tuesday night off the Irish coast.
 This figure was not final and high hopes that the loss of life would prove much smaller were built upon cabled press despatches saying iusr 1o1 men. most of them members Of the crew. were missing among the entire force or soldiers, sailors and passengers. No attempt was made toni@lt to prepare lstsof the lost or IT. 7sing. Only few names of survivors had been received and the indications were that it would be impossible to an nounce them all before tomorrow at the earliest. The rescued were land ed at widely separated Irish and Scotch ports and while all reports tell n elaborate arrangements for their | care and comfort, urgent instructions to representatives of the war. state and navy departments that full details Of the disaster and a complete record of the saved be sent at the earliest possible moment tonight had brought but meagre responses.
 i Official Report.
 According to the war departments official report tonight the total miss ing from the 2.397 persons aboard the liner was 210. The latest despatch gave this recapftulation:
 Survivors-United States trpops | 04S; crew and passengers. Al. total 2,1s4. ''- On board-Unfted States troops D. 156; crew and passengers 241, total 2,3s7. ''-
 Missing-United States troons 11a crew and passengers 97:s total 21O.
 Officials assumed that an error in transmission accounted for the dis crepancy in this .-despatcf's igpres on crew and passengers. The total num- Der of missing among all persons on board, 210, accordS with. a statement Of the British admiralty issued early In the day. so the number of passen- gers and crew survivors probably should hawetbeen IA instead of .141.
 Virtually no story of the sinking of the Tuscania has reached the govern ment through official channels. .Des- patches from the embassyvat London and other sources so far have been confined to terse statements and an- nouncements of the number saved.
 Proud Way Troops Behaved.
 Army officers are proud of the waJ the troops behaved, and 4point to the story of how the partially trained bovs lined up on deck singing national airs to await their turns in the boats as evidence of what may be expected oj American soldiers.
 To this absence%of' confusion and the fact that the-vessel remaineE@ @a4us. for about two hours, in a calm sea i, attributed the small loss of life. The Tuscania was a part of a large con. voy and -immeaiaseiy-t the relief was al 'thand.

SORROW OVER LOSS
 OF TRANSPORT TuscANiA
Tempered by Probability That the Raider Was Destroyed by a Depth Bomb,

Washington, Feb. T.-Much satis- faction is found by officials here in the unofficial accounts of the destruc- ton of the British liner Tuscania by a German submarine, which showed that a destroyer, presumably British, gave chase to the raider and possibly sank her with a depth bomb.
 No details of the attack had come tonight from official sources. Sorrow over the first loss of transport lad en with American troops is tempered by the growing total of. survivors. and the dominant emotion among army and navy men now is the desire to strike back. .Aa4
 An Isolated Case. a
 Navy officials see no reason Go change their opinion that the subuaa- rine menace is being overcome. The Tuscania incident is regarded as an isolated case. which may serve to de velop additional methods for repelling the undersea crfat and improving the convoy system.
 Mary devices enter into the battle against the E-boats, some of which have been evolved by American tnven- tors Others havo been greatly im- proved since the United States entered the war. and the detection apparatus now installed on American craft is SC successful that British craft are being similarly equipped.
 How U-boats Work
 There have been indications that the T-boats have learned to fear this abil- ity of American craft 6o locate them at a distance and manoeuver to bring the submerged vessel within range- oi a depth bomb.
