Fight Over War Bills.

T. R. GOING TO WASHINGTON!
His Presence Significant; Po

Fuel Order Continues To Draw
Fire McAdoo To Testify. '
BY L. C. MARtIx. '
j Washington, Jan. 21. Spirited
' fights on the proposed "war" cabinet"
bill and threatened discussion by Sena
i tor Stone of "war and politics" dis-
pelled any likelihood of heatless ses-
sions in congress this Week!
I The battle destined to swirl about
I the war cabinet of three was to open
today with introduction of Senator
Chamberlain's bTU for creation of the
body..,- - .
Senator Stone's delayed - speech
aimed at "playing 'politics" and Col
onel Roosevelt's proposed., visit here
promised to add fuel to the - fire.
With President Wilson and Secretary
of War Bfrtser opposed to the cabinet
idea, to say nothing about a central
ized war munitions purchase plan,
there was doubt of congressional
ability to put the ideas across. --
Democrats Disagree With Wilson. T
Some Democrats are hopeful that
President Wilson may be induced to
change his views'and to agree to more
of a non-partisan control of govern
ment and more centralization on mu
nitions. The whole question, however,
appears to turn upon the wish of the
man in the White House.
Colonel Roosevelt's proposed pres
ence in the city at this time is regarded
as particularly significant. His open
attacks against the administration
make it practically certain that he will
exercise the influence of his person
ality in the forthcoming political
storm.
Senator Stone's speech will serve as
a challenge to the .Republicans who
have waited their chance to air their
feelings about conduct of the war.
They plan to discuss Secretary of "War
Baker, Fuel Administrator Garfield
and others while probably attacking
the powers conferred on the adminis
tration in matters of coal, food and
railroads.
Mixing Campaign Medicine.
The Democrats propose to charge
the Republicans with making cam
paign material for the next elections.
In addition' to heated discussion ex
pected on the floor, fuel was slated to
draw fire in committees
McAdoo before the interstate Com
merce committee was to be questioned
as to just how he was connected with
the Garfield order. Also, the commit
tee wants to-know whether this fourth
day of the suspension period has
shown improved conditions . on the
railroads.
To prevent "crossing of wires" by
committee members, they have agreed
to let each member pursue his line of
questioning to a conclusion before in
terruptions side track the matter in
hand. Each member, under this plan,
was expected to "have an inning."
Senator Watson. Indiana, Will try
to get to the bottom of the origin of
the order. . Senator Kellogs, Minne
sota, will interest himself with rail
road financing. Senators Pomerene,
Robertson, Smith and Underwood will
specialize on getting the director-general's
views on how far his powers will
enable him to go and how far he
plans to go.

Boys at Doniphan Must Show What
They Have Learned.
Camp Doniphan, Ok., Jan. 21. Ev
ery man in the Sixty-ninth brigade is !
going to be literally put thru his stunts j
this coming week under the personal j
eye of the colonel of each regiment, j
"Division headquarters has stopped ar-
ranging the weekly program for the
division and leit it up to the brigade !
commanders. ' j
Gen. A. B. Donnelly, in command of
the Sixty-ninth, wants to find out just
how much his men have learned since
they have been in the service, so an
examination will be held every day ior '
the entire week. One company will be j
called out in the morning and will !
have to show just what it has learned !
about all kinds of military tactics and I
fighting. The regimental commander i
will be present and pass .on their fit- ,
ness. In the afternoon another com
pany will show what they can do, and
so on until each company has been ,
examined. The companies will then
be ranked in the order of their fit-J
ness. 1
In the Seventieth brigade, com
manded by Brig. Gen. Charles I. Mar- I
tin, each battalion will work out prob- i
lems in fighting for three days, and j
the next three days two battalions will j
have a sham battle with the third bat- ,
talion of each regiment.
There is a possibility that a large I
number of medical officers will be
promoted to higher ranks within the
near future. A board of officers has
been appointed to examine all the
medicos commissioned as lieutenants
who are seeking promotion. . j
SNOW BRAGS ON SNOWj
Worth Millions to Wheat Crop, As- j
sorts Chicago. Crop Expert
Chicago, Jan. 21. The recent rec
ord snowfall, while causing millions
of dollars damage in various parts of
the country, will prove of incalculable
value to the winter wheat crop, in the
opinion of B. M. Snow, grain expert.
1 The same is true, he said, of winter
j oats and all forage crops,
f Know declared it is impossible at
I this time to make even an approxi
mate of the benefit to crops owing to
the fact th:it the grouHd in most
places was frozen before the snow
came.
"But the snow, which blankets the
entire winter wheat region as far
south as northern Texas, will for-n a
protective covering against further
freezing and will provide much needed
moreture in the spring,' -Snow said.--"
"The winter oats crop, while al
most negligible, will benefit in the
same way, as will alfalfa; clover and
pasturage."
The last crop report of the United
States department cf agriculture
showed the greatest winter wheat
acreage in history, but the poorest
condition. The latter was due mostly,
it was said, to lack of moisture.
