BAKER TESTIMONY
WILL SHOW FACT
Secretary Of War and Commanders Of
Army Camps Are Soon to Appear
Before Senate Committee.

Washington, Dec. 24-Testimony Of
Secretary Baker and commanders Of
training camps in the south before the
senate committee investigating the
military situation will, in the belief Of
administration officials, thrown an an
entirely different light on conditions
so far pictured.
The administration, IT was said, has
absolute confidence that the testi-
mony Of Secretary Baker will result in
exoneration OF his department Of the
charges, and that information given
by camp commanders will strengthen
the position OF the department in the
public mind.
Secretary Baker may outline q def
mite military policy before one Of the
congressional committees on military
affairs, probably the senate committee.
There is feeling expressed among
some Of the members of both houses,
including those who have been at the
battle front, that there ought TO be a
definite statement of the war depart
ment's policy including some indica-
tions Of what number of men are CON
templated for use in the future.
Mr.. Baker has been advised of this.
Those urging the idea contend it
will inspire the forces of the allies by
showing them the United States is
with them to the end; that it will have
depressing effect on Germany by
showing the United States is to main
tain q progressive policy until the war
is won and that it will satisfy the peo-
pie in this country TO know just what
the government is planning without
betraying military secrets.

mote the art of dancing in Illinois
will be to establish a normal school
for dancing teachers in Rock Island
There are many teachers in each state
who want instruction who cannot al
ford to travel to the larger cities. Ii
is to help them that the normal here
will be established.
One of the cherished plans of the
Inner Circle is to acquire sufficient
power and prestige in each state tc

YANKEE SANTA HAS
MUCH GOOD CHEER
FOR ITALY FIGHTER

Venice, Sunday. Dec. %, by the
Associated Press} American Christ
mas cheer will be carried to the Ital-
ian soldiers In the trenches and to the
sick and wounded soldiers in and
around Venice by B. Harvey Carroll.
Jr., American consul at Venice, act
ing for the American Red Cross. Mr..
Carroll will leave Venice with General
Di Viterfranehesoa to make the tour
Of the trenches on Christmas eve.
They will be accompanied by detach-
ments of soldiers with trucks bearing
bundles of gifts for distribution among
the troops.
Each soldier will receive a package
containing socks, handkerchief, to-
bacco, sweets. some articles of food
and a distinctive present.
Another distribution will be made
in Venice on Christmas eve and
Christmas morning to wounded sol
diers and civilian poor. Large num-
bers of wounded are now coming in
from the Piaye to the hospitals OF
Venice. Each OF these will be remem-
bered with clothing, food and sweets
The civilian poor are being cared
for regularly to the number of 1900
Eight hundred received meals at one
American soup kitchen and 400 al
another American kitchen. In addi-
ton to the extra Christmas dinner
each woman and child will receive a
present of clothing and food
The city Of Venice remains COM
paratiyely undisturbed by the recent
renewal Of enemy pressure on the
lower Piave nearest to Venice, where
his line is II miles east OF the city
While shells from the heavy guns
could reach Venice. it is known that
the enemy has been unable to bring
across the river anything except ma
chine guns and few pieces Of small
calibre. No shells have fallen any
where near the city The rumble OF
the bombardment can be heard day
and night but the population has be-
come accustomed to it. as It had to
the previous menace from the air and
sea.
One of the chief reasons for calm
is the belief that Pope Benedict has
interviewed in some way by which the
Austrians will not shell the city.
The custodians of the art treasures
in the city have considered it desir-
able to move large number Of paint
ings and statues which up to this time
have been stored within the city, The
most valuable were sent south months
ago, but now the entire bulk Of re.
movable art treasures has been takeT
| away. 1t is estimated that 1900
square metres Of paintings were TAX
en- from the Ducal palace alone.
The famous Equestrian statue before
st. Marys is being dismounted for re
m0yal, although it was at first intend
ed to protect it by brick covering.
