COUNTY FAIRS WILL
HAVE ART EXHIBIT

The Art Institute OF Chicago next
fall will extend its exhibitions to
the country fairs in the Middle
West
Real paintings by the foremost
artists of America will rival such
attractions as living skeletons.

tains of human flesh. And they
will put the country art to shame

The idea was originated by Ros.
Crane. head of the extension de-
partment of the institute. Mr..
Crane is going to bring art to the
masses. Twenty of the best paint
ings by American artists will be Sc
lected, and Mr.. Crane intends to go
with the show as chief ballyhoo and
lecturer.

Mr.. Crane, will be representative.

WAR ACT SAVES
COLBY MUDDLE
State Dept. Can Function
Despite Senate's Failure
To Confirm Nomination.

President Wilson may not find It
necessary to have Bainbridge Colby
confirmed by the Senate as Secre-
tary of State in order to have the
State Department continue to func-
tion in the manner required by law.
Under the Overman act. passed
during the war. the President has
the authority to transfer to some
other official of the government all
the duties that are required to be
performed by the Secretary of
State.
This was pointed out yesterday
by members of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee in discussing
the failure of the committee to act
on the nomination. 1t is probable
that no action by the committee
will be taken for some time to
come, and in the meantime the law
does not permit the President to
designate Under Secretary Polk as
Acting Secretary of State for a
period longer than thirty days. This
period expires tomorrow, after
which Polk will not be qualified to
act as head of the department.
Under the Overman act, however,
the duties which devolve upon the
Secretary Of State may be trans
ferred by the President to any
other official in the department or
to an Official in any other depart
ment.

that just about enough tonnage was
available in April. 1917. to supply
the absolute needs of the allies at
that timer"
Depended ON America.
The problem" replied Mr..
Hoover, was one of great complex
ity. The menaced allied nations
were driven to discover. new sources
of supply. and rationing became
more and more severe. Then ways
and means were found for with
drawing shipping. from time to
time, from long-distance routes
and transferring 1t to routes over
which food could be brought more
quickly. Thus 1t was decided more
or less to abandon food cargoes
from the Argentine and other South
American supply centers and con-
centrate on imports from Canada
and the United States. which did
not take so long to get across the
Atlantic. This automatically put at
the allies disposal two or three
times more tonnage than would
otherwise have been available.
Submarines Menace.
The total mercantile tonnage
available to the allies was some
thing in the neighborhood of A.
100000. Something like 10000 900
tons was employed in naval and
military transport, leaving some
30,000,O 900 for shipment of munitions
and food supplies. That would have
beer sufficient to carry the reduced
supplies required in consequence of
strict rationing in allied countries
and the diversion of imports to
routes from North America, pro-
vided there were not continued
losses"
Senator Hale reminded Mr. Hoover
that Admiral Sims had said that in
April, 1917. 100000 tons of shipping
were destroyed by the enemy. AT
that rate" asked Senator Hale, "or
anywhere near that rate, would 1t
have been possible to keep up the
feeding of the allies?"
My own personal opinion Is that
1t would not have been" said Mr..
want to make a reservation. One
can never tell to what lengths of
resistance, by self-denial. harsher
rationing. and by other resources,
nations might be able to compen-
safe for deprivations due to cutting
of of sea-borne food supplies. The
allies were never reduced to the
final verge of starvation"
Were they on the borderland of

Yes" said Mr.. Hoover. ION the

following winter
Gould America have done more
to ameliorate these conditions?"

said Mr.. Hoover, "were ono OF the

United States in May. 1877, he re-
ported on the urgency of European
food conditions to the Navy De-
partment.
II do not think I ever made any
special report to the Navy Depart
ment." said Mr.. Hoover. 81 reported
to the Council OF National Defence

You reported on the intensity Of
the submarine menaceT
"Yes," said Mr.. Hoover. THAT
was uppermost in everybody's mind.
The submarine danger looked to all
of us as the most serious thing with
which we were confronted"
Senator Hale at this point was
evidently bent upon extorting from
Mr.. Hoover admissions that had the
United States navy sent more fight
ing craft to the submarine zone in
European waters. II would have con-
tributed materially to the shorten
ing of the war. He declined to be
drawn into what apparently struck
him as a sphere OF considerations
beyond his speciality as a food
expert.

In almost every store and shop,
in every little railway station are
posters in glaring colors calling our
boys to join the army and promising
all good things if they do.
Some of the posters are worthy

MAY BE DIFFICULTIES

The first encounter between rail-

averted by the passage of the Adam
son eight-hour-day law. will take
place tomorrow before the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, over
the appointment of the RAILROAD
Labor Board" provided for in the
bill recently passed by Congress-
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission Is entrusted with the re-
sponsibility of determining whether
or not the nominations made by the
owners and by the unions are In
accord with the stipulations OF the
bill and whether or not they are
actually representative OF the en-
ployers and employees. The right OF
nomination of members of the board
representing the operators has been
given to the Association OF Railway
Executives which represents more
than 95 per cent of the owners ana
operators of the railroad lines
throughout the country.
Don't Expect Challenges
II is not likely that any of the
nominations of the association VIII
be challenged by either the' COM
mission or by the labor groups un-
less they contain names OF men
avowedly and implacably opposed
to organized lab, ..
In the appointment OF labor mem
bers of the board. however, the
commission foresees some difficul-
ties. Since all the nominations must
be made within another week, II Is
obviously impossible to make can
vass of individual employees. 1t is,
therefore, taken for granted by the
commission that the feelings OF the
employees are represented by the
leaders of their unions. Yet there
are sixteen unions in the railroad
industry, some affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor and
some not, from among which must
be picked three men to sit on the
railway labor boards.
Plan Four Groups.
The commission has decided to di-
vide the sixteen unions into four
groups, each of which is to have one
representative on the board.
