War Managers of America—Able Bunch
(Hpedal to The Tlmce)
WASHINGTON, Bept. 18. —
America has been in the war five
months. In that time President
Wilson- hatt created a super-cabi
net which under his close direc
tion is really running the w«r.
It has power* never dreamed of
before in the I'nited Sates. Of
its 10 members, six work for
Uncle Sana for nothing.
Of the ordinary cabinet mem
bers also members of the super
cabinet there is first, Newton I).
Baker, the quiet, efficient little
lawyer who used to be the reform
city solicitor and mayor of Cleve
land, and who now han the job of
housing the biggest armies Amer
ica nan ever created. Me largely |
devised the selective conscription I
bill and ban been charged with
carrying it out.
Itulew Navy
.liis.-iihus Daniels, the North
Carolina newspaper editor, ham-
I mered time find again because he
interfered with the graft of big
business, in immediate charge of
the American navy, is responsible
not only for hun'ing down Ger
man U-boats, but also for convoy
ing our transports and supply
ships to France. The close of the
war will find our navy second
only to England's.
William Gibbs McAdoo Is one of
the super-cabinet by reason of the
| fact that he doles out the millions
Ito our allies. Ip to date he has
jthus given out over %Z. 000,000
-,-000. Of course, thiH money Is be
ing spent right in America for|
supplies and McAdoo, an the man
behind the dough bag, is insisting
that it be spent, as economically as
possible, so the loans', will not have
to be repealed too often.
ItiKgeHt Ship Coin|Miny
E. N. Hurley is chairman of the
United Sates shipping board, the
i greatest maritime organization
lever known. This board has not
only taken over all German ships
interned here at the beginning of
the war, but has commandeered'
many now under construction for !
foreign buyers. In addition, it Isj
giving out contracts for an im-.
mense amount of new shipping.
Herber C. Hoover's activities
concern every farmer and every
person who eats. He has the
power very largely to fix the price
of food.
The other man whose work af
fects every American is Prof.
| Harry A. dai-field, son of the raar-
I tyred president, formerly a college
head. As coal director all he lias I
to do is to fix prices and pee that
every section gets its fair supply-

Robert P. Lovett. in ordinary
times a great railroad adminis
trator, is the priority boss. He haK|
the power not only to tell the rail-. i
roads where freights shall be';
shipped first, but also to tell a
great factory whether it shall
fabricate certain things for the
war department, the navy depart
ment, some particular one M the
allies or some private consumer.
Vance McCormick. Pennsylvania
newspaper owner and chairman of

manufacturer, head of the war ln-^
dustries board, coordinates all the
activities supplying the war and
navy departments. His particular.
Job is to speed up the production '
of rifles, machine guns, field and
heavy artillery and shells.

County Bridge
EDITOR THE TIMES:
"A thing of beauty is a joy for
ever," must have been in the
minds of the county coiumlssion
•n when they planned the bridge
across the river at McKenna,
which is about finished now.
I suppose whoa the road Is
connected* up to the bridge some
people will cross over It without
know it is a bridge, which is the
way all bridges should be.
But to see the beauty of it you
should get a boat and go out on
the water.
It certainly is a credit to every
one that hud anything to do with
it.
But a road is no better than thff
worst place in it, and there are
roads in this county that have
been used for over :^0 years that
are not graded yet.
Now if these roads cannot be
graded, some of the bumps could
be cut down and some of the
holes filled up, which would help
some. The money the taxpayer
I pays is often hard to get, but
poor roads and bridges won't
I bring people here to live and
make homes, which is what
counts.

Oenfus Speeds Up
Ship Construction
(Special to The Timee)
SEATTLE, Sept. 18. —They're
using the air to make more roouv
for Bhip-building here.
David Rodgers, 52, wise old
man of the sea, is the one who
showed builders how to turn \Ur
trick.
His "Aerial Shipyard Convey
or" has revolutionized the indus-
try. It has speeded up construc
tion at a time when speed means
life to a world crying for cargo
carriers.
He was in a motion picture
theater in Vancouver, B. C,
when he "got his hunch" for the
new conveyor.
(iet« an Idea.
A picture flashed on the screen
showing the use of a single line
overhead cable In logging opera
tions. Rodgers looked at \he
fleeting film, chuckled and rush
ed from the theater, surprising
the audience with his sudden
hurst of enthusiasm.
Then he came back to Seattlo
and spread the blueprints before
| the owners of the Skinner &
Eddy plant here, of which he is
superintendent.
"Clever idea, David," said
Messrs. Skinner and Eddy.
"It will cost about $100,000
to place the conveyors in our
I yards," said Rodgers.
"Is that all!" answered the
owners. "Go right ahead, Rods
era."
It'i* a Wonder.
The conveyor, with its grap
pling mechanism, Is operated on
wire cables hoisted High In the
air over the bulldiug slips by im
mense uprights. It is controlled
by electric stations on the
ground, being lowered and raisej
by hoisting cable*.
The device picks up a ten-ton
piece of steel with the ease of :\
man handling a baseball, hustles
it 100 feet into the air, carries
it 200 feet and drops It handily
at the point of construction re
quired, all In the space of two
minutes by stop watch.
That's the trick Dave Rodgers
turned to speed up building of
ships.

ST. PAIL, Sept. 18.—With the
opening of a three-day conference
on the high cost of living, the
Farmers' National Non-Partisan
league today began its big na
tional tight to wipe out war prof
its and distribute the burden of
the war equally on all nconomic
classes. Every train brought hun
dreds of farmers to attend the
session.
Senators LaFollette and Gron
na headed the list of speakers.
President Townley answered crit
ics when he announced that sedi
tious or disloyal utterances would
cause ejection of the speakers.
The meetings are to be patriotic,
he and other league officials de
clare.
Early arriving delegates, how
ever, expressed (rank dissatisfac
tion at the food administration's
price-fixing program. Farmers
had expected $3 wheat. They are
prepared to cite figures that the
basic government price, of $2./b
is below the cost of production.
Officials expect 6,000 delegates.
These will represent 3,000,000
producers, making it, President
Townley claims, the largest con
sumers' protest meeting ever held
in the United States.
Among organizations sending
delegates are the American So
ciety of Equity, National Grange,

and the Nun Partisan League.
