Some Corrections Made.

Examination of the master list shows
that red ink number 5,79i has been placed
as No. 10,500 in the order of drawing.
1t is assumed that this was the missing
number and was placed last. although
the blank capsule first came up as No.
10000. It had previously been un-
derstood that red ink number 1864 was
the missing number, but that number
was later found as No. 1862, where the
master sheet shows it as such.
Another correction on the unofficial
list shown is red ink number $40 as
liability No. 3,512. 1t was transmit
ted as 507 but duplicated liability No.
236. The master sheet shows red ink
No. 507 as liability No. 236.

The debate covered a wide range of
war topics and developed considerable
republican criticism of various ques-

Senator Lodge said Congress has the

Yes. in the open," replied the Ken
lucky senator.
We'll, isn't this in the open?" Senator
Penrose replied.
ut doesn't require any courage to at
tack the Secretary of the Navy" he
added
ut is evident that the purpose of the
majority is to suppress an investigation
from now on" the Pennsylvania senator
declared. as he took his seat.
There is no intention to suppress an
investigation, but 1 just wanted to
make it clear that this is an attack on
the Secretary of the Navy and Mr..
Creel," replied Senator James.
Substance of the announcement given
to the American people by Secretary
Daniels through the bureau of public
information, July 3. telling of the safe
arrival Of the expeditonary forces in
France without the loss of single life
and the attack by submarines on the
first two units of the expedition with
the loss of one of the U-boats, was cor
rect, Senator swanson, acting chairman
of the naval affairs committee, told the
Senate in denouncing the Penrose reso-
luton.
Senator swanson said he had read the
dispatches from Admiral Gleaves and
there was no doubt about the attack
by submarines on the first two units
and the sinking of one of the U-boats
by the gunfire Of the conveying ships.
The Virginia senator said that the
force was taken to France
in four units and that the last two
reached their destination after an un-
eventful voyage. Senator Swanson said
that instead of being here indulging
in petty partisan criticism of the navy
it should be receiving resolutions of
thanks"
He told the Senate that had any lives
or ships been lost certain senators
would have been condemning the navy.
Senator Stone demanded what Senator
Penrose hoped to accomplish by his
CreeI Subject Of Attack.
Senator Penrose attacked Mr. Creel,
that he is a gentleman who
does not command the confidence of the |
public or of the newspapers" and as
serted that the Official Bulletin; which |
is printed by the committee. is mot 1

| Washington today faces another milk
problem, not problem Of supply or

a disastrous effect upon the lives of

| This was the statement today of the
health department, which declares that
much of the mill being sold at the pres

The hands of the department are tied,
it states This because Of the pendency
of litigation in the United States Su-

today, ARE discouraged by such condi-

More serious. however. than the ele-

was one of the most prominent fig

Inquiry at the war department de-
velops that the erroneous form Of pro-
nunciation received such good start
in its beginning that it will be a mans
size job to check it. The adjutant
general himself says that he uses the
"can-ton-ment" pronunciation and that
it seems to be in current use in the
department, although he has not con-
Quilted authorities on the subject.
At the White House it is said that
the erroneous form is sometimes heard
from visiting government men, but
that the pronunciation recorded as

PROPER PRONUNCIATION
OF CANTONMENT

The Evening Telegram some days
ago drew attention to the fact that
the word "cantonment" was very gen.
orally mispronounced, the majority OF
people calling it "cantone-ment."
Since we have started the ball roll
ing toward can-ton-ment, with the ac-
cent on the first syllable, the st. Pet
ersburg Independent has the follow
ing to say on the subject:
Many bitter controversies, and, it is
said, even personal physical encoun-
ters of considerable violence, have re-
suited from differences of opinion as
to the proper pronunciation Of the
word cantonment. Within the past
few days, however, it has been found
that President Wilson and Secretary
of War Baker pronounce it the same
way. This should suffice to settle the
controversy. The Washington Stal
publishes the following information
from Francis De Sales Ryan on how
the word is pronounced by various au
thorities:
How do you pronounce canton
ment?" Have you lost any bets on 1t
Do you know that it is mispronounce'
by about SO per cent. Of our army Of
ficers and government employees? d.
you know how it is pronounced b.
President Wilson and by Secretary
War Baker, and that they are anon
the very few who pronounce it col
rectly? Do you know how it is pre-
nounced by the leading American edu
Gators and how it is recorded by tn
leading photographers Of the Englisl
language?
Since the word recently came int
common use one has been accustome
to hearing from officers and private
in the army and from persons Of edu
cation in other walks of life the pre-
nunciation "can-tone-ment" with tn
accent on the second syllable and tn
30" as in the word 60. Although
