knows how 10 spend money. because
he has literally been reared in the

stipulations and these stipulations cut

OF the filthy lucre, For instance Monty
is inhibited from giving large sums

admiralty vigorously defended the tor

concessions made by Germany to the
United States in the matter of her con-
duct of submarine warfare We're the work
of the Berlin foreign office in spite OF the
naval authorities,
Officials observed that the statement
reveals that the submarine commander

the American note by inability to com.

A reply from Austria is expected be

1t is generally believed in offcia
circles that failure of Austria to maxi

will be followed by a rupture in diplo

CRITICISM Of WAR
MINISTRY IN The
FRENCH CHAMBER
Assertions Made of Dealings
with People of the Under
wOrld--SOme Contract
Scandals.

Paris, Dec A.-During the debate in the
Chamber of Deputies to-day severe criu-
cism was made of relations between the
war ministry and certain individuals who
are selling supplies to the government.
1t was asserted the ministry had dealt
with persons whose sole occupation hith-
erto had consisted in frequenting pleasure
resorts at night and there picking up Gus
toners These persons 1t was said were
regarded as worthy to furnish shoes,
clothing and cannon.
Deputy Julien Antoine Simyan said this
was scandalous and even criminal, and
that a government official who being in
formed of the facts declined to strike the
guilty persons became an nCcomplice.
NJ. Smyan asserted proper precautions
had not been taken and that excessive
prices had been paid for supplies lie
then referred to certain papers in regard
to dealing with an aeroplane company
which he said could not he found at the
ministry of war
An attack was then made by NJ Simyan
upon those who are conducting for prl-
vate gain enterprises described as
charitable.
One woman, he said, had been con-
demned 81 times for this offense but was
still operating Notwithstanding the fact
that the first magistrate Of the republic
had demanded that her activities be
ended.
Another abuse, the deputy continued,
consisted in paying large sums on ac-
count. in violation of the usual procedure,
when contracts for supplies were signed,
He asserted that for one year officials
had been discussing what action should
| be taken against a contractor who owes
| % 600. 900 francs (sioOo,00o) to the govern
ment.
NJ. Simyan continued his attacks on
| contractors needless of numerous deputies
who ATTEMPTED to interrupt him.
