CABIN ET:

AS mentioned above, the cry for a min
istry of munitions and "Out with Baker"
continues. "Use the axe, Mr.. President"
urges "The Washington POST speaking
of Incompetence in high places" what
there is about the Wilson Cabinet that
makes it sacred or supermannish we know
not" adds "The Denver Rocky Mountain
News" complaining Of "close corpora
ton at Washington" Have people forgot
ten what Lincoln did to his Secretary of
War, "The Detroit Free Press asks:
"When the camor of public protest was
raised against the glaring inefiiciency of
that department the President dismissed
Simon Cameron and replaced him with Edwin
NJ. Stanton. What was the result? Let US
ca ON one authority:
The wisdom of the choice was signally
vindicated. The whole system of the War
Office was inefficient and reorganization was
lmperativey demanded. Stanton brought to
his work great executive ability, prompt de-
clslon and strong will, which made itself
felt through the whole military service"
Against the rather clear majority in
the press for a war council the oppo
nents of that plan raise a number of in
tcresting objections. There is the ground
that partisan spirit and not true patriot
ism is behind the Chamberlain bill. There
are those who amplfy che Presidents view
that the new council would take away
many of the Presidents constitutional
powers. And naturally there are those
who would "let the President decide" To
round out the picture one should not over

Firmly opposing the war council plan
are "The New Orleans Times Pcayune."
"The New York Evening Post" "The New

Leader" "The ST. Louis Republican" and
"The st. Louis Post-Dispatch." Less
vehement are "The New York Globe" and
"The Brooklyn Eagle" which would .let
the President decide" "The Baltimore
Sun" is opposed to the Chamberlain bill"
"a rather fine distinction. Similarly
"The Springfield Republican" tries to
align itself with the President while
secretly favoring war council "The

an untried scheme which would also hand

head the new council. At last accounts
Senator Chamberlain was busy putting
his case before the public to exert
pressure on the President and rescue his
bill from the oblivion of the Committee
on Naval Affairs, where the Presidents
friends had consigned it as final indi
cation of the Presidents determination to
fight to the end.
1t an appeal were made to the country
by Senator Chamberlain and possibly by
the President for support in the matter.

ment Mr.. Chamberlain would win-not
Immediately, but ultimately, if the press
ure of public opinion counts For there
appears a very wide and growing senti-
ment among the press, at least, for a war
council Of some sort.
This is expressed in many ways. A
great many newspapers demand war
council outright. Again, criticism of Mr..
Wilson such as has not appeared in the
press since this country entered the war
has broken forth to surprising degree.
Some, like "The New Republic" think Mr..
Wilson "needs co0rdinating" and that he
has "too much to do" Others take par
tisan shot at the President for keeping
Republicans out of responsible "coaition
cabinet" Many papers also warmly sup
port Senator Chamberlain's stand, while
others continue to demand the resignation
of Secretary Baker and ministry of
munitions.
Among the many papers which favor a
war council, mildly or vehemently, may be
mentioned the following Eastern journals:
"The New Haven Register" "The Lynn
Item," "The Providence Journal" "The
Philadelphia Inquirer" "The PHILADELPHIA
North American" "The Philadelphia Pub
lie Ledger" "The Boston Herald" "The
Boston Transcript" "The Buffalo En-
press" "The Utica Press" "The Wilkes
Barre Record "The Brooklyn Eagle"
The New York Tribune, "The New York
Sum-" "The New York Times" and "Tho
New York Herald
Further West one finds the same opinion
among such papers as the following: "The
Nebraska State Journal" "TEe Detroit

sufllclency as a war-t time leader and execu-
tive" says "Thc St. Paul Pioneer Press. -
we submit that this is not e-man gov
crnment." "Jhe fact is," says "The San
Francisco Chronicle" "that the Presidents
dlctato1lal methods are making him so UNI
popular with his own party that nothing
hut a recognition of the patriotic duty to
support the constitutional commander in
chief of the army and navy prevents a
complete split in the Democratic party"
Tut, tut, Mr.. President" says 'Thc Bos-
ton Transcript" adding:
"For the President to grow furious in the
face of such an effort, for him to sneer at
the sincerity Of the Democratic chairman
CT the Senate Committee on Military Affairs
and all who stand with him. is only a petty
outburst Of bad temper for which some of
his best friends are sorry to- day and for
which he will be sorry some day"
The editorial columns fairly reek with
expressions such as "The Presidents aloof-
ness" "hcad-on collision between the En-
ecutive and the legislative" "a note of
pettishness," "partisanship," che refuses
to listen to advice" she prefers to shine
by comparison with lesser lights" "thc
era of uncritical support is at an end"
''it is not the Administrations war, it is
the peoples war"
Perhaps the next most critical of the
President are those papers which stand
back of Senator Chamberlain in his attack
on the governments inefficiency. 'It is
doubtful if President Wilson strengthened
his statement by objecting with some show

ship came little sooner than most ex-
perienced observers anticipated, but occa-
stoned no particular surprise. 1t ap-
peared from the voluminous correspond
cnce given out between Mr.. Bugher and
Mayor Hylan that the Commissioner had
steadily objected, since his appointment,
to interference from the Mayor as to
minor appointments and complained that
he had not been given a free hand: in
particular that orders had been issued to
his deputies over his head, and that tn .
Mayor had insisted that no one be ap-
pointed to the most trivial post without
his Sanction.
The Mayor requested Mr.. Bugher's res
gnation on the allegation that he had re-
fused to suspend the motorcycle police
alleged to have been concerned in the
Cruger case. Mr.. Bugher retorted that
this was mere pretext, as he was expe-
diting their trial.

ration by Tammany that it meant to re-
