!. DOOM OF KAISER
itfeets Every Wednesday and
and Deals Only With Indus
trial Progress Necessary
for Victory.
Washington, April 8. The nation's
var-making agencies have achieved
a close harmony of action in the
last two weeks through the Wednes
day conferences at the White House,
which high officials said today has
speeded the prosecution of the fight
for democracy to the point of greatest
efficiency yet reached.
Decisions of far-reaching import
ance have been made by close con
tact between the heads of the various
branches involved, under the guidance
of President Wilson, who is said au
thoritatively to have smoothed nu
merous differences which might have
. resulted in delay or friction without
a mutual understanding reached in
conference. . .
The president now virtually has
two cabinets, the first of which ad
vise him on diplomatic and political"
questions, while the second discusses
with the chief executive the problems
of mobilizing the industrial powers
of the nation, without which there
could be no war. J,
f ;Cuts Out Politics.
Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank and Postoffices Make
Returns to State Director Ward M. Burgess On
i . . .
Amount of War Savings Stamps That
Have Beeff Disposed Of.
Kansas City Federal Reserve bank and postoffiffices report to State Di
rector Ward M. Burgess on maturity value of War Savings stamps expiring
April 1, 1918, now owned by Nebraskans, as follows:
proper, meets every
The cabinet
Friday.
. Thef "war cabinet," or "industrial
cabinet," as it is coming to be known,
gathers at the White House every
Wednesday, aniincludes- the director
general of railroads, the chairmen of
the shipping, war industries and war
trade boards, the food administrator
and the fuel administrator. At times
when the army or navy has a special
problem involving industrial ques
tions, Secretary Daniels or acting
Secretary-of War Crowell attends.
The war- cabinet at no time has
touched on political questions. This
was learned today from a very high
source. All of the war cabinet's work
has been to further the preparation of
America to throw --its entire re
sources into the scale against the
Hun. So important has this' work
become that , the prosecution of the
war, except- for directions of actual
military and jiaval movements, now
. is entrusted to the little group of six
men. .,
Results of Work.
First results of the war cabinet's
work have become apparrent in the
decision of the war industries board
to gjye preference in delivery to 100
per cerit requirements of ship yards
for steel. 'Mij. Hurley gave the con
ference last Wednesday detailed ac
counts of demands made on him for
tonnage. His statement to the conference-Was
prepared after frequent
consultations with Major General
March, chief of staff. The War de
partment was said to be well satisfied
with the shipping facilities available.
Rice in Norway Connected
With Death of A. Barrett
"The' intimation that I was in the
slightest manner implicated in the
death of Albert Barrett, or was even
near him when he fell to his death,
s a gross injustice, wholely untrue
ind islanderous," said, John Rice,
1451 South Eighteenth street, a la
borer on the Conant hotel "building,
where Barrett was instantly killed
Saturday morning when he fell -from
;he eighth floor. Rice was not on the
scaffold with Barrett, but was on the
aside of the building when the ac
sdent occurred. .It was reported to
:he place at the time" of the accident
"hat the .man was shoved from the
scaffolding, but there is no truth in
that statement, says Rice, who saw
