NAVY NEXT
TO EXPLAIN
Thorough Investigation OF
Conduct of War Planned
by House Naval Comm.
HEARINGS WILL BE
ARRANGED SOON
Secretary Daniels, Bureau
Chiefs and Officers on Duty
Abroad Will Be Called

Washington, Dec. ia House sub
committee to thoroughly investigate the
conduct of the war by the navy was ere
ated by the naval committee yesterday
in executive session. Hearings will be ar.
ranged soon. Secretary Daniels, bureau
chiefs and officers who have been on duty
abroad will be called.
The plans for investigation were unan-
imously agreed on. Members of the com
mittee say that as at the last session
81 100000 was appropriated for naval ex-
penditures and this year another billion
is proposed, the system of expending
such vast sums should be examined
Representative Britten, one of the
sponsors of the inquiry, said there was
a surplus &c big guns in the navy, whose
might be stopped TO use the
to produce for the army. 9th.
err suggestions of that sort will be looked
into, he said.
Representative Britten also said be
to urge creation of supreme
council of defense, comprising not ex-
ceeding three men and preferably one
man, to handle the war in America and
have arbitrary power to determine every
so as to avoid issues.

cRozIER TELLS ABOUT RIFLES.
Head of Ordnance Bureau in Executive
Session of Senate Committee Yesterday

Washington. Dec l5.-General Croft
er's examination by a Senate committee
Yesterday went further into details of
the rife and machine gun situations. Sew
eral senators sharply questioned him in
what were described as Somewhat heat
ed" exchanges Some of the members
were said to be inclined to attribute to
General Crozier himself responsibility for
the reduction of 80 per cent in rife pro
duetion at private plants due to the
change in type.
Failure to use appropriations for the
purpose intended also was developed
from General CroZier In particular, an
appropriation of S. 100000 made in .Au-
gust, 1916, for small arms and intended
by Congress for rifles, General Crozier
said, was used for pistols, some at high
royalties from private contractors.
General Crozier reiterated that rife
production would increase so that no
American troops sent abroad would be
without surplus arms and that soon
there would be ample for training pur-
poses.
After nearly four hours questioning
of General Crozier, Chairman Chamber
lain said
Generally the information given
shows reasonably satisfactory con-
dition, considering the state of affairs
at the beginning of the war"
General Crozier resumed his testimony
to-day in another executive session to
deal particularly with heavy artillery.

STIMULATED MARRIAGE.
War Has Had Such an Effect in Great
Britain.

London, Dec. l5.-"Crudely stated, the
war has resulted in 100000 people in tho
United Kingdom being married between
August, 1914, and June, 1917, who in the
ordinary course would not have married..
says Sir Bernard Mallet, president of the
Statistical society.
The loss of potential lives to the bel.
ligerent countries by the decrease in
number of children born was perhaps the
most important effect upon vital statis-
tics produced by the war, he said In
births the United Kingdom had suffered
lar less than Germany and Hungary, tho
United Kingdom having lost 10000 per
each million of the population, Germany
10000 and Hungary 10000 per million.
The infant mortality in the summer Of
1917 appeared to have been very high in
several German cities, and the German
rate all through remained at some so PEI
cent higher than in England.
An alteration in the sex ratio of birth
to be established by the figures
of the United Kingdom, the proportion OF
males having noticeably increased Con-
trary to expectations, the war had pro-
duced no effect on the figures of illegiti-
mate births.
