Representative Augustus P. Gard
ner, of Massachusetts, one of the
strongest republican members of the
lower house, had heavy backing for
his proposed investigation of the
army and navy. His resolution for
committee to begin inquiry will
be taken up by the rules committee,
which must report to the house for
action. There have as yet been no
good gusses as to whether or not
the house will pass or defeat the
resolution.
The inference has gone out that the
national administration is opposed to
the proposed plan. Secretary of
War Garrison has insisted that all
the information that could be
gathered by placing on the stand

President Smith in recent years has
lived simply, occupying a modest cot
tage, one room of which constituted
his Office. He arose early and until
his health began to fail few years
ago and blindness overlook him. he
devoted his days to editorial work for
the Saints Herald, the official publi-
cation of the church, and government
tai affairs of the organization, as well
as responding to many pleas for ad-
vice from communicates. The aged

President Smith was married three
times, losing his first and second wives

GERMANS REPULSE
FRENCH ATTACKS
(By Associated Press.)

PARIS, Dec. 11.-Three fierce at
tacks repulsed and one French trench
captured briefly summarizes the re-
suit of yesterday fighting in the vicin-
ity Of Ypres, as told in todays official
report. The trench taken by the Ger
mans is an important one and was
surrendered by the French only after
the fiercest of fighting, during which
heavy losses were sustained by both
combatants.
Viewing the general situation, and
omitting locations entirely, today's
official statement says the French ar
my continues to progres in the direc-
ton of the German frontier. Details
of the fighting other than at Ypres,
