J. s. HAS PLENTY
 IF ARTILLERY
Gen. crozier Tells Military Affairs Committee That We Have PIen-
 ty of Guns.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 9.-Gen. Gro. zier today told the Military Affairs Committee of the House that the United States government was well supplied with artillery of every de. scription excepting the big howitzers and that they are unnecessary and have not proven of any great advan tage. The United States siege guns are large enough for the present. said the commander.
 Ship for ship, the American navy is the equal of the ships of any pow er," said Gen. Crozier.
 The Rules Committee of the House has turned down the Gardner resolu tion calling for an investigation into the preparedness of this country tt enter into a conflict with a first-class power. The fight will now be made on the floor of the House to pass the resolution. It is certain that the appropriation bills will be delayed be cause of the inuiry and the fght which is being made or the investi gation.

WILL PROBE WAR
 PREPAREDNESS In Spite of Opposition of Administra- tion Congress Is Certain To Start
 An Investigation.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9-In spite of the efforts of the administration and the leaders of the Republican party to prevent the debate upon the pre- paredness of the United States to enter war at this time with a first class power, it is certain that the in- quiry will be ordered and the con- dition of the war and navy depart ments to meet sudden attack will be investigated.
 Many congressman and senators are fearful that unless the United States is prepared it will be next to i'm possible to prevent the winner of the present war from violating the Mon- roe Doctrine upon which American safety from foreign attacks largely depends. That several battle cruis- CTS of the fastest type will be order ed is certain, especially after the an nouncement by Japan that thirteen battle cruisers are to be laid down at once.
 F. Party lines have been forgotten in an effort to protect the nation with strong navy and large military re- serve for need if necessary against any foreign power The administra- tion will be unable to block the in- quiry is the general opinion of the politicians here.
