In accordance with the request of the Secretary of War, President Hopkins retains the same relationship to the War Department as heretofore, acting in the capacity of Assistant to the Secretary of War in charge of Industrial Relations. Arrangements, .however, have been made by which he is largely relieved of the details of the work, but by which he retains the administrative responsibility. These arrangements have been made in order that he may spend the greater part of his time in Hanover.
