TWO ASSISTANTS
TO BE NAMED FOR
WAR SECRETARY
Major General Goethals May
Be Named as Assistant to
Baker in Charge of All
Purchases.
(By Akioriated TrcM.)
Washington, Feb. 24. With the ad
ministration bill j-reating two addi?
tional assistant secretaries of war be
fore congress, Secretary Baker today
explained the functions to which his
new aids would be assigned. ,
He would not indicate wham he
had in njind for the posts, saying that
nominations were matters for the
president only, but names unofficially
suggested include those of Edward R.
Stettinus, now surveyor general of
the War department purchases', Major
General George W. Goethals, acting
quartermaster general, and Raymond
D. Fosdick, chairman of the commis
sion on training camp activities.
Mr. Baker said that Assistant Sec
retary Crowell would become the
direct understudy of the secretary and
assume the duties of the head of the
War department in his absence.
Goethals May Be Named.
The new second assistant will have
supervision of all "industrial and
commercial" activities of the War de
partment, acting in the name "of the
secretary on all matters of this char
acter and supervising the purchases of
al bureaus.
The appointment of Mr. Stettinus
as secpnd assistant will be in line
with Mr. Baker's statement to a con
gressional committee that the place
of Mr, Stettinus in the department
was one of "growing functions."
In that connection, however, it was
recalled-today that recently the name
of General Goethals had been promi
nently mentioned as an assistant sec
ertary of war in discussions of
changes in the War department.
Under General Goethals, the quarter
master's department has been reor
ganized and its work enlarged.
Baker to Control Military.
The third assistant, Mr. Baker said,
will have direct supervision of all
nonmilitary activities of the soldier.
That function is now exercised very
largely by Mr. Fosdick as chairman
of the commission on training camp
activities.
The position of fourth assistant will
be held by John C Scofield, now as
sistant and chief clerk, ano as such,
in charge of administrative matters
not directly under the various bu
reaus and of the entire clerical per
sonnel of the department,
Mr. Baker's purpose is to transfer
to his new assistants many matters
of detail which now handicap him in
dealing with the broad policies it is
his duty to work out. In this con
nection it was noted that he has re
served to himself also all military
questions.

PACKERS BLAME
SALOON FOR MEAT
WORKERS' POVERTY
i
Welfare Expert Says Employes
"Back of Yards" Give $4,
500,000 Yearly to
Booze Interests.
(By Associated Tress.)
Chicago, Feb. 24. Residents of the
district known as "back of the yards"
spend $4,500,000 a year for drink, ac
cording to testimony ftiven yesterday
in the stock yards wage arbitration by
Elbert Beeman, in charge of em
ployes' welfare work for Wilson &
Company.
The section embraces 125 square
blocks of tenements occupied almost
exclusively by foreign born laborers,
40 per cent of whom are employed in
the packing house industry.
The witness read from a report pre.
pared by Young Men's Christian as
sociation workers in 1912 which
showed that the gross receipts of
each saloon in the district averages
$15,000 a year. This district now has
300 saloons or 75 more than in 1912.
Beeman introduced in evidence a
large map of the territory showing
there are 75 more saloon9 than retail
stores where food is sold in the sec.
tion.
Packers Blame Saloons.
Witnesses for the packers declare
that the saloon is responsible for
much of the poverty and distress
among the foreign born unskilled la
borers employed in the stock yards.
One block in the section contains 13
saloons and is knowif as "whisky
point."
Representatives of organized labor
on cross examining the witnesses
called by the packers endeavored to
show that the saloon is only indirect
ly a factor in causing the conditions
complained of by the leaders of the
men. They declare that the men are
lead to drink to excess through over
work, bad conditions of Jabor and in
sufficient wage and argue that if
these evils were remedied the saloon
would no longer be an element in the
stock yards labor problem.

united and that is loyally backing up
the flag in this war, he said. "Do
you realize there is a bolsheviki in
this country just as there is in Rus

are dwelling in the twilight of Ameri

"I was in Washington recently and
it is the opinion of men there that
this war will last three years longer.
Germany in some respects is stronger
than sfle was three years ago. She
has 13,000,000 square miles of terri
tory and six times the food acreage
that she formerly did. She will also
come into the possession of large mu
