Probe Under Way by Com mittee Shows Wonderful

ARMY ORGANIZATION
 NOT ALTOGETHER BAD
Chairman Dent Hoids That Much Has Been Accomplished in
 Spite of Faults
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

By HUGH W. ROBERTS
 Washington, December 29. Especial. Without draw ing distinction between the preparedness of the navy and the army, the expedi- tionary contingent of which lis able to approach the fir ing line only with big guns lent by England and France, Representative Oliver of Alabama, chairman of the subcommittee conducting in- quiry into the department of Secretary Daniels, said this morning for The Age-Her- |ald:
 "It is fact that as result of the excellent preparedness achieved by the navy that from our battleships we have been able to lend guns to our |allies."
 Further in compliment to the pre- liminary work of the navy, Mir Oliver made statements which, in contrast with developments resulting from sen atorial probe into the war department cannot but be encouraging to every American citizen. These facts were de .duced.
 In the beginning the United States had 900 ships. Now. exclusive of sub marine chasers. the United States has 1000.

Rome, December 29.- Thirteen persons were killed and 50 others injured when the open city of Padua, in northern Italy, was bombed by enemy aviators last night, the war office an |nounced today. Trevizo, Montebelluna and Castel- franco were also attacked.
 The are treasures in the densely populated section of Padua, where eight bombs were dropped, were not damaged.
 The text of the official statement on the campaign reads:
 "On the whole front there was the usual harassing. Ire. as well as recip- rocal patrol activity in the Lagarina valley and vallarso Raids attempted against Costalunga and Monte Meiago on the Asiago plateau were repulsed and few prisoners captured. On the Pfave Vecchia some prisoners were taken in a reconnaissance raid.
 Yesterday evening enemy airmen through their innate barbarian i'm pulses which were revived by the de- feat they suffered December 26 at Tre- viso, bombarded inhabited parts of Ire viso, Monte Bellino, Castel Franco and Padua, all open cities.
