PREPAREDNESS
PROBE CONTINUES

Washington. Dec. 20.-The three
big congressional hearings by which
preparedness advocates hope some
new "and more eficient" system of
national defense will be evolved, con-
tinued their work OF testimony taking
today.
While house and senate military
affairs committees heard from high
army and war department oficials
and civilians. the house naval COM
mittee heard more expert advice re-
garding the alleged defenselessness
OF the United States. because of in
sufficient sea forces.
Representative Edwin Y. Webb.
North Carolina. author Of the nation
wide dry bill, told the United Press
today he will urge immediate passage
of his measure on the ground that
no nation can really be prepared
against possible attack by a foreign
foe. until the sale Of all intoxicating
liquors is stopped.
Webb said he will insist that
crushing out OF the saloon and the
liquor traffic is so bound up with real
preparedness, that It can not be push
ed aside.
ANY kind of military prepared
ness is necessarily bound up with the
physical fitness Of the individual" !"
said Webb. THE warriors OF Europe
have ruled that they cannot be sue
cessful under the old conditions. That
Is obviously why France, then Rus
sia and then England declared
against the liquor either in absolute
prohibition or the most rigid regula-
tion."
Navy department bureau chiefs
appeared before the house naval COM
mittee today. Increase in the cost
of battleship building during the
past two years was to be shown by
these departmental heads.

will be given an early opportunity
