WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-Inquiry by
Congress into the general conduct of
the war was begun today with investi.
CATION by the Senate Military commit.
tee of the War departments work in
arming and equipping American forces.
Major General Crozier, chief of ord.
nance, said. an obstacle in the early
work was that the military policy de.
fined in the national defense act of
1916 contemplated a force of one mil
lion men to be raised in five years.
Preparation of estimates and actual
appropriation by Congress. he said.
caused further delay. I'VE did every.
thing we could to get manufacturing
establishments of the country going on
orders in anticipation of appropria.
tons. One obstacle was that many
manufacturing companies did not care
tc spend money or could not secure
loans in advance Of actual appropria,
tons. That caused very considerable
delay" ---3-, 81,
There was also delay under the alb.
normal purchasing system necessary

Seventy-five or eighty members

A Barnes Bullentin
Government regulation keeps the

but the government is powerless to

traitor, who authoizes the following
What does 1t avail IL people could
pay the price that might be asked II
they could grab the coal?
II there is not. enough coal trans
ported to go around, is there any
thing that will make It go around ex
cept the careful. economical use Of
1t by everybody concerned.
If the limited supply of coal that
gets to the market is not used intel
iigently and carefully somebody Is
going to suffer ana why not one per
son as we'll as another?
West Virginia people cannot expect
their nelghbors to conserve coal II
they do not do so themselves. The
government needs coal at this time
so the call. on. the individual to use
coal with thrift. is the call Of the
country. Those who are patriotic
will heed this call.
Those who want to give aid and
comfort to the enemy will pay nc
attention to this call.

The Provost Marshal General has

THE Legal Advisory Boards that

government needs your services in

you should direct all inquiries to the

vote your entire attention to the work
which the government has laid out to
you"

sal advisory board for assistance.
5 Even though he is confident that he
can make out his own QUESTIONABLE, it
should be taken to the legal advisory
board for approval.
After the QUESTIONABLE has been
completed, on no occasion will the
sdrattee apply to the draft board. The
missionaries must all be returned by
mall In special envelopes prepared for
this purpose. The local board is glad
TO give any assistance to any registrant
