yesterday vigorously defended the
quality Of :he militias food against the
criticism of Alfred w. McCann. pure
food expert, who declares that canned
beef of ancient packing and other un-
healthtul food is being served to soldiers.
The matter will be aired at the Capitol
today, for Senator Fletcher. Of Florida,
will personally investigate and II he finds
sufficient substantiation Of the charges,
will urge a Senate investigation.
Both sides in the controversy desire a
probe; the militia officers because they
feel the charges are groundless and the
New York expert because he believes he
can prove his complaint.
Lieut.. Col. A. W. Brewster, Of the In
spector Generals office, called all star
and line officers into conference yester
day. II should like to know If any o.
you men have any complaint as TO the
quality and quantity of food that is be
ing served at the camp" he said.

Ruthless U-Boat Warfare
Planned by German Forces,
Assert British Naval Men

Germany bowed to President Wilson,
My authority for that statement is
British. but certain British oficials are
remarkably well informed about German
naval activity. as proven by the admitted
fact that 1t was known here when Case
ment departed from Germany in his sub
marine and with his munition ship. and
by other facts not yet admitted.
Delay Battleship Repairs.
1t is even believed that repairs to some
of the great ships damaged in the battle
of Jutland are being delayed so as not
to interfere with submarine construction.
This activity at the dociyards COIN
cides with a remarkable political cam
peign, directed against Chancellor

Congress will be asked today to furnish
an appropriation to the Public Health
Service to enable the government experts
to carry on their work against the ept-
demic OF infantile paralysis

100000 to suppress epidemics, none OF this
money can be used in fighting the plague

ing this money specifies seven disease,
Tor which the funds are available and
infantile paralysis is not included.
For that reason Surg. Gen. Rupert Blue
and his assistants will confer today with
Chairman Fitzgerald. Of the House Com

Congress appropriate money to meet the
present emergency. The disease Is
credited with having started in the dis.
tr1ct of the Brooklyn Representative. so
that he has more than an ordinary in
terest in aiding the government officials.
In addition to money. the Public Health
Service desires to increase the number of
employees since the physicians who have
