While Consul Swalm did not say how long the Alabama soldiers had been in the hos pital or how they reached Winchester it is presumed that they became i'll while en route to France and were carried to the hospital when the transports touched English shores.

we visited all the American soldiers sick at several hospitals near here and at Winchester we found 67 sons of Alabama in the military hospital, Magdalen camp, Winchester, belonging to the 167th in- fantry, Rainbow division. All were per- sonally visited by the party and given Thanksgiving greeting in a very sub- stantial shape of apples, cakes, tobacco, games and other creature comforts suit able to the day and their needs or de- sires, not otherwise supplied. The Amer ican Y. NJ. C. A., the controlling branch being here, most generously and efficient ly joined in to give your Alabama boys a great taste of home remembrance and which they seemed to enjoy in good American way. Their needs in woolen socks and gloves will be met by the Red Cross and I have them in hand.
 Your excellency may assure all your people that nothing is lacking in medical and hospital care for the comfort of your sons and that while some of the cases have been very serious, the report
 is most favorable for all. An American doctor is on the staff. while the chief is one of the best in the English serv- ice The nurses are of superior class and the whole equipment Is of the lat est in all details l deemed 1t fit thus to communicate these facts to your ex' celency.'

.BANKHEAD ID TAKE
 4 PROMINENT PART IN SHIPPING PROBE
lit Is Possible Present Or ganization May Be Dis
 solved Following Un-
 favorable Finding
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, December 2O.-(Spe- cial.)-Of all departments against
 which Congress hns leveled its lance, the shipping board comes in for most
 adverse criticism.
 The senatorial investigation will
 be most thorough and at the begin ming the indications are that the ver-
 dict will be followed by dissolution of
 the present organization and tie
 formation of another headed by u practical builder of ships with auto
 cratic authority.
 Into this investigation with which the country will become vitally interested, Senator Bankhead of Alabama as a member of the commerce committee, will probe. The sitting of the committee will necessitate his constant attendance and make it impossible for him to spend the holiday season in Alabama.
 .'The outcome of the war, it has been repeatedly stated by leaders at home and abroad, IS dependent in great part on ships,' said the senator. There is nc question but that the work of the ship ping board, up to the present time, has
 been keenly disappointing. It is vita topic and it is right that the trouble be ascertained and remedied irrespective oi any individual whose pride may be in jured,"
 In connection with the probe it is as certained that instead of e0O0,O00 tons the actual amount of shipping under construction or contracted for which will be available for delivery by the end of 1sls is 2,ooo0oO tons The com mttees will endeavor to ascertain if con. stant dispute between members of tho board is responsible for failure to de i liver, and, in the event such conclu- sion is reached, it is safe 10 predict the retirement of Chairman Edward R. Hur- ley, the abolition of the dual system ot government and the cutting of red tape. The committee will also inquire into the charge that contracts have been awarded political friends without expert ence or ability to deliver as a result oi their own resources The indications are that the injury will be sensational, al though much to be developed will bt withheld from the public.
