of the departments, furnished
through the requirements division
the chairman of the board will have
at his disposal complete information

Relative Urgency to be Fixed.
Speaking generally, the require.
ments of both the American govern
ment and the allies can be met sat
isfactorily if orders and deliveries
are given systematic ALLEGATION &C
cording to the relative urgency of
the needs of the various departments
demanding them. Shortage in mater
ials very frequently is found on an
alysis to be not actual but rather the
result of badly placed distribution.
With complete information at
his disposal the requirements divi-

man of the war industries board Will
be in position, through the several
sections of the board, to guide and
assist the departments through pro-
per ALLEGATION of materials, or at Its
discretion to leave particular tasks
to the exclusive jurisdiction OF the
departments involved.
New Sections Planned.
To take charge Of particular prob

created special commodity sections,
and whenever necessary to handle

of which there is an actual shortage,

Each of these sections will be

Washington, April 9.--President
Wilson's plan for making the war
industries board an approach to the
munitionc ministry proposed by the
senate committee on military affairs
was issued tonight.
Under the scheme OF operation
the requirements division is to be
the connecting link between the
board and the war and navy depart
ments, the shipping, board, and 9TH
err agencies, the material needs of
which require" the development and
coordination of industrial facilities
and transportation.
The requirements division will
in turn delegate the task Of fulfill
ing these needs to the special COM
modify divisions of the war indus
tries board, to the supply depart
ments themselves, or to such other
agencies as may be decided on the
board says in a statement
THE statements furnished the re-
quirements division by the several
supply divisions OF the departments
will include not only commodities
in which a present or threatened
shortage exists, bat also those in
which the SUPPLY is ample, and will
include commodit'2s required by
one department. only rs well as COM
modities required by several differ
ent departments.
SirrriC When Possible.
In the procurement Of supplies in
which no shortage exists and-where
no ALLEGATION seems necessary or de-
sirable. the requirements division
will so advise the department pre-
senting the requirements, which will
thereupon proceed with the pur-
chase in pursuance with their es-
tablished practices. That is, in pur-
suance of the presidents directions,
the war industries board will let
alone what is being successfully
done and will interfere as little as
possible with the present normal
processes of purchase and delivery
in the several departments,

RUSS OBJECT TO JAP LANDING.
Declare L. 5. and Britain Must Show
Hand at N'ladiyostock.
{ BY Associated Press


Moscow, Saturday, April 6.-Ad-
of marine) has issued a proclama-
landing there Friday Of entente al
lied forces.
The minister says he feels
great sympathy with Russia in the
present situation, wishes cessa-
ton of fratricide, and the fullest
realization of the revolution, but
was compelled to take steps to pro-
tect life and property of japanese
and allied subjects in view Of the
murder of Japanese soldier and
because there were no local Organi-
cations at the Siberian port able to
maintain law and order.
The admiral adds that he has
asked his government for further in
structions.
President Soukhanoff of the
Vladivostok council of soldiers and
workmen's deputies. reporting to
the council of national commission
aries, states that in his opinion the
killing Of the Japanese was a politi-
cal murder, as no robbery was COM
mitted. Efforts to apprehend the
criminals, he adds, have been unsuc-
cessful.
NJ. Soukhanoff says the landing
of Japanese troops was effected in
the presence of the Japanese consul
and Admiral kato. 1t was made
without the consent of the Ameri-
can, British, and other consuls, and
no warning was given to the local
authorities. Later, British forces
were also landed.
The council of soldiers and work
mems deputies protested to the con-
suls who consented to receive the
delegation as representatives of the
soldiers and workmen's council.
President Soukhanoff reports
that the Japanese section of the city
is being patrolled by japanese de-
men each. Tents are being erected
at the end Of the Chinese street and
also in the churchyard of the Japan
csc church
The council of national commits
saries today issued statement say
ing:
Japan has started a campaign
against the soviet republic" 1t then
points out that the landing of troops
at Vladivostok was effected immed-
| lately after the murder of the Jap
anese without waiting for an inves-
| tigation to be made, and says the
crime was part of prearranged
plan.
| Continuing, the statement says:
What is the program of action of
the other governments of the en-
tente-America, England, France
and Italy? Up 10 the present NOM
ent their policy regarding the rapa-
| cious scheme Of Japan evidently has
been one Of hesitation.

pie This must be put up to the

Training Camps May BE Opened to

i
Advance "Noncoms."
Washington, April 9-High Of
ficials of the war department assert
that there will be no shortage OF
officers for the new draft army. AT
last accounts there was surplus
of about 5000 line officers. Many
men commissioned in field artillery
have been transferred to aviation on
account of the surplus OF artillery Of
ficers.
On April 10 the present series OF
officers training camps, which open
ed Jan 5, will conclude their work
1t is expected that fully 1900 men
will receive commissions.
A large proportion Of the men now
in officers training camps were non.
commissioned officers of various
units. Others were taken from speci-
fled colleges and academies in which
military training is compulsory. This
policy will be followed in the future
At present the war department is
"ahead of the game" in the matter
of commissioned officers. The plan
is to keep ahead of the demand of
officers.
With this end in view, further ser
les of training camps for officers
will be announced from time to time
and will be held in connection with
divisional organizations, following
the lines Of the present series.
AS one high official explained it
1.-The mill through which Officers
are to be provided for the expand
ing army will continue to grind al,
most constantly"
Noncommissioncd officers Of the
higher ranks are prepared for the
officers training camps or schools
together with graduates of schools
having through military training
courses, because these men necessar.
lily have absorbed the ground work
required to make good officers after
relatively short period of intensive
training.
Consequently political pull is des
tined to have less and less influence
in obtaining commissions.
