Washington, Dec. 14.-Congress to-
day extended its investigation of the
administrations war preparations to
the navy. While the senate military
committee continued its rmy hearing
the house naval committee unani-
mously decided to begin immediately
"a general inquiry into naval affairs
and appointed subcommittee head
ed by Representative Oliver OF Ala
hama to conduct 1t.
IT was officially announced that the
purpose of the naval investigation
would be to scrutinize past and future
expenditures anr policies and to Sc
cure greater coordination between
congress and the executive depart
ments in the conduct of the war.
Hearings probably will begin Monday
and most of them are expected to be
behind closed doors to protect the
navy's secrets
Secretary Daniels heard about the
committees action as he left "a cabi-
net meeting. He said he was pleased
and that the more it round out about
what the navy had accomplished the
better congress would be satisfied.
Crozier Is Under Fire.
Major General Crozier, chief of ord
nance, was before the senate military
committee for the day and his ex-
animation regarding delays in prpvi1-
ing weapons for the war army was
continued, He was on the stand for
four hours answering questions which
it was deemed inadvisable to discuss
publicly, and gave much detailed in
formation supplementing testimony
yesterday as to shortage In rifles,
machine guns and light artillery.
The general vigorously reiterated
his assertion that existing conditions
will not interfere with Americas fight
ing capacity abroad or training at
home. He will be recalled tomorrow
for further examination regarding
heavy artillery.
Lewis Machine Gun Up.
The machinegun question was
given much attention in today's ses-
sion General Crozier's part Ia tie
old controversy over the Lewis ma
chine gun was touched upon In view
OF his statement yesterday placing
upon Secretary Baker personal re-
sponsibillty for the machine gun
shortage. The committee decided to
summon the inventor of the Lewis
gun later. 1t was brought uut that
only few hundreds of machine guns
have been furnished the training
camps and that for many weeks after
the national army got into training
some of the units were instructed
with charts instead of weapons.
In. the national environments about
half the men have not yet received
rifles. General CroZier said In train
ing it was not necessary to have rifle
supplies at the maximum.
AS a general policy of equipping
the American forces, General Crozier
informed the committee that the de-
partment's efforts weer being con-
centrated on European operations
While training camps are being cared
for, he said, the departments prime
effort Is TO insure an adequate supply
of all equipment for the American
overseas forces.

Notwithstanding untoward occur
rences the allied forces in their war
fare against the central powers are
making steady progress toward vic
tory and peace proposals to Ger
many's militaristic party, which at
present is drunk with boastfulness,
would be a BETRAYAL of the trust.
Thus in forceful form the British
premier, David Lold George. has sum-

war from the viewpoint of himself as
head of the British government and
of his colleagues.
Americas Help Important.
The premier said it was folly to eX-
aggerate the situation created by the
events in Russia and the possibility
of the release of hundreds of thous-
ands of the enemy to attack Great
Britain, France and Italy, but that If
Russia had decided to abandon the
struggle the American democracy
was taking II up. Germany, he ad-
ded, was gambling on the failure OF
the United States to transport her
army to Europe and the future of the
Great Britain and the United States

been everywhere great decrease in

French and the Germans In France
and the Italians and the Austro- Hun

line trenches on front of 200 yards
while the Germans, according to the
Berlin official communication have
repulsed a British attack in the Cam
brai sector east of Bullecourt,
launched in an endeavor to recapture
lost positions. The Germans are car
rying out a heavy bombardment in
the latter region.
Men Are Sacrificed.
The big guns are doing most of the
work on the Italian front, where the
Italians still are barring the way of
the Teutonic allies toward the plains.

EVER SALIvATED By
CALOMEL? HORR|BLEI
Calomel is quicksilver and acts
like dynamite on

Calomel loses you a day! You
know what calomel is. It's mer-
curry; quicksilver. Calomel is dan
gerous. 1t crashes into sour bile
like dynamite, cramping and sick
ening you. Calomel attacks the
bones and should never be put into
your system.
When You feel bilious, sluggish,
constipated and all knocked out and
believe you need dose of dangerous
calomel just remember that your
druggist sells for few cents a large
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which
is entirely vegetable and pleasant to
take and is perfect substitute for
calomel. 1t is guaranteed to start
your liver without stirring you up
inside, and can not salivate.
Don't take calomeli 1t makes YOU
sick the next day; it loses you DAYS
