Turnulty and Lansing Both on the Stand and Give Testi- mony Regarding the Note and Their Connection.
(By Review Leased Wire)

a bewildering maze of intimatiOns and heated colloquies winch turned the hearing into an uprosr, the House rules committee wrestled for several hours today with Thomas w. Lawson of Boston without obtaining any def- mite information to substantiate the stories of a leak" to. Wall Street in advance of the Presidents peace note.
 When the committee adjourned un- til tomorrow with Mir. Lawson's exam ination uncompleted, motion to cite him before the bar of the House for contempt because he refused to give the names had been considered in ex- ecutive session and taken under ad- visement.
 Earlier in the day, Joseph H. Tu- multy, secretary to President Wilson whose name was mentioned by Rep resentative Wood in. = ,umors here laid before the committee last week. appeared to give an emphatic state ment, endorsed by the President, that he had no knowledge of the peace note before it was given to the press. He also denied the report repeated by MI. Wood that Mir Tumulty and Bernard Baruch of New York, broker, had con ferred in a New York hotel a few days before the note was made pub lie. MT. Tumulty denounced the ac- ton of Representative Wood in mak- ing public charges based on a letter from an unidentified man and declar- ed from the witness stand, looking Representative Wood in the face that he was still awaiting the congress mans apology.
 Secretary Lansing of the state de- partment also took the stand to assert that he had no knowledge whatever of advance information having been in circulation regarding the peace note. Secretary Lansing related the physical history of the note, how it was prepared, through whose hands it passed, and of his participation in its preparation. He also told of a state ment he had given in confidence to newspaper men on the morning before the note was made public, in which he told them to expect a note at five o'clock that evening for publication Thursday morning. He did not go into details with the correspondents. he

Divergent Views Are Held By Those Who Have Given the Matter Consid- eration.
(By Review Leased Wi-el

WASHINGTON. Jan. S.-Widely di- vergent views as to the proper mili- tary policy for the United States were laid before the Senate subcommittee on universal service today by Captain George " H. Mosely of the general staff of the army, and Major William G. Harlee of the Marine Corps The committee also heard urgent recOm- mendations that universal military training be enacted from a sscore of surgeons and physicians representing the medical association of the country.
 Major Harlee disapproved of all uni versal service proposals and suggested plan of his own. one of the most radical changes in policy yet proposed. He asserted that as recruiting officer he had learned that the military caste, the most orthodox caste in the country, and the fixed obligations of the enlistment oath were the factors that deterred men from entering the army.
 "The oath of enlistment is an oath of bondage" he said. ''it brands the man who takes it as of lower caste. I am opposed to any service as that be rendered by young men"
 The major proposed that no enlist ments be required and that the men trained annually be permitted to leave the service at will To make it a ser ious matter for them to quit, however, he suggested that a minimum monthly pay of $30 be provided. and all but I small sum be held back until the train ing period had been completed.
 You could exhaust the possibilities of useful training in a month," Major Harlee declared. After thai it would be merely teaching them to salute and do routine drills that are unnecessary. The thing that makes discipline is in terest in the work to be done. The caste disappears in our regular army NiGu StlS 1dSlt iS luSititu by the idle. barren. life"
