new POLICE JOBS TO
COME BEFORE COUNCIL
Commissioners Recommend
Creation Of Lieutenancy
and Five Sergeants

A resolution from the board of
police commissioners Will be received
at the monthly meeting OF the com
mon council this evening asking for
the creation Of the position of a
lieutenant of police. The resolution
provides that the police department
shall be composed Of a chief, a cap
tain, q lieutenant, two detective ser
geants whose duty will be to do regu
lar detective work, not more than
five other sergeants and not more
than 46 regular patrolmen. 1t also
provides that there shall not be less
than 10 or more than 100 super
numerary policemen.
Several reports from the ordinance
committee will be received, one of
which provides for paying all City
hall employees on the fifteenth and
first of every month, instead Of
weekly as was first recommended.
The estimates for the year and the
proposed 20 IL mill tax rate will be
received by the council as will an
other recommendation from the
finance board calling for a. transfer of
$1,150 from the salary fund to the
general tax fund and $4,000 from the
state highway lunu TO the flre Depart
1nent fund. Last night the claims
committee met to consider the claims
for damages presented by John Jack
son and Amanda Larson. More time
for investigation of the latter claim
will be asked.
Another important item which is
sure to cause discussion is the
mayors recommendation that several
salaries be reconsidered, chiefly the
increases granted to the police de
partment and the clerk of the police
and city court. The council too, viii
probably take some definite action in
the case of Meat, Milk and Food In
Spector b. y. Radcliff. At the last
meeting it was recommended by Al
derman May that his salary be cut
from $1,000 to $500, but action was
deferred until tonight.
The railroad committee of the
council will meet at 7:45 o'clock this
evening

NO DATE SET FOR
SECOND DRAFT CALL
Secretary Baker Denies Reports
Which Said SeiectiveS Would
Move After May I.

Washington, Feb. 0.--Secretary
Baker authorized the statement to-
day that no date has been selected for
beginning Of the second draft.
The governments disposition not to
disturb the labor situation Particular
ly on farms at the planting season is
one of the factors entering into the
situation.
The provost marshal general Of
flee it is understood, is disinclined to
go ahead with the second draft until
congress has perfected the law by
pending amendments to change the
basis of apportionment and to au-
thorize the president to call into the
military service men skilled in IN
dustry and agriculture regardless OF
previous classification.
The remaining increments of the
first draft will begin to move forward
to the camps beginning this week. 1t
is probable that next month local
boards NAV be asked to forward small
increments necessary to replace men
going overseas, but the expected sum
mons of half a million will be later
Plans for the second draft include
calling 100000 a month until the
second quota is complete. In that
way officials expect to avoid much Oh
the confusion which accompanied the
first call. The men will report IN
steady stream and be assimllated
into the military machine before the
next lot is received.
Vacancies in the National Army
divisions will have been filled by that
time with the final increment Of the
first draft.
On another page of the Herald is
a news story from Washington that
the men eligible for the second draft
would be called soon after May 1.

WILL FURNISH OWN COAL.
TEXAS and Montana to Provide Own
Supply During War.

Washington. Feb. 20.-Two states
Texas and Montana notified the fuel
administration today they would
take care of their own coal needs for
the rem ainder of the war although
the production of neither heretofore
has been sufficient to meet all re-
Quirementys Their intention is to
increase their output to the point
where they can do without shipments
from the outside.
The Montana state fuel administra-
tor will issue instructions that the
people must put aside their hard
coal burners and use the soft coal
produced at home. Heretofore the
state, which burns annually about
100000 tons Of coal, has bought
from producers in other states slight
ly more than "a million tons.

SHIPPING INCREASE
EXPECTED At ONCE
Construction in American
Yards Important Factor
in Gain.

Washington, Feb. 20.-The low
point OF available Allied shipping has
been passed two or three weeks
earlier than officials expected. and
confidence was expressed today that
the amount of shipping available for
the future would increase steadily.
Several factors were said to have
contributed to advancing the amount
OF available tonnage. Included among
them were the increased efficiency of
the offensive against the submarines
and the beginning of deliveries from
American s!lipyards.
The transfer Of neutral shipping to
trade outside the war zone, thereby
releasing Allied tonnage for trans
Atlantic service, also contributed to
the increase of available bottoms
Improvement in harbor defenses and
facilities in France, so AS to facilitate
the unloading of transports, likewise
tended to speed up the release of
ships.

Obstacles Smoothed Out.

London, F'eb.-19.-Premier Lloyd
George aad his government have sur
mounted another crisis and the
Darliamentar waters at Westminster
appear to run smoothly once more
after s. weeks turmoil stirred UP by
the retirement of General Robertson,
chief of the general staff.
IN the house of common today the
premier explained and defended the
recent reorganization OF the Yer
SAIL. =: uncil with the supreme pow
ers given to it and his dealings with
the famous British chief of staff.
There was no proposal for vote Of
want Of confidence but II. II. Asquith,
the former premier, expressed regret
that the explanations had not been
given a week ago when the premier
declared he could not go into the sub
ject without giving information to
the enemy A.#.
Mr.. Asquith supported the right of
parliamentary criticism in such mat
ters.
The occasion was not 2s stirring q
one as have been several other ap-
pearances of the Welsh premier be-
fore the house when his administra-
ton has been under attack. His
Cital of proposals by which the four
powers at Versailles had arrived at
the principles of their latest form of
cooperation. There were no orator.
Ical passages except a few sentences
at the close, when Premier Lloyd
George appealed to the country to
get together in the face Of a common
danger
nv
the council, he said. was due largely
to the strong logical representations
which the American delegates had
submitted in the form of q memor-
andum, and the premier several times
reverted to the influence which
American policy had exercised on the
results of the conference. He paid
warm tribute to Gen. Robertson md
expressed the regret of the govern
ment that it had been unable to in
duce him to take a, position in which
his abilities would be most useful.
He declared their personal relations
always had been cordial.
Mr.. Asquith asserted the country
regarded with deep concern the Fe-
cent enforced retirement Of the gov
ernment's chief naval and military
advisers, Admiral JeIlicoe and Gen.
Robertson. The public and profess
sions had the most confidence in
-, these men. He added the country
had noted that both retirements were
preceded by a hostile press campaign.
RI The pubic questioned whether these
losses were compensated by the re-
tention of the Earl of Derby in the
war ministry, and the appointment as
director of foreign press propaganda
referring to Viscount Northcliffe
although he did not mention his
name-one whose newspapers had
conducted the press campaign.
There was a little alteration be-
tween the two pren1iers over the
question of Gen. Robertson's failure
to approve the Versailles plan. Fl
nalIy Mr. Asquith said he did no
quarrel in the least with the deci
sions of the Versailles council re
specting its functions. He took The
view that the question at issue was {
domestic mater and supported tn
view that the military represcntatlV
at Versailles should be representa-
