Washington. May 1s.-The British
admiralty statement that American
sailors of the destroyers now operat-
ing in the submarine zone mad to be
loaned sufficiently warm clothing
brought forth two conflicting state
ments in the case today.
Secretary Daniels issued the fol-
lowing list of equipment each man
carried:
Heavy winter underwear, sea boots,
heavy sea coat. knitted watch caps,
heavy wool socks, jerseys, oil skins,
lambskin jackets.
The navy league said that the first
destroyer5 to go abroad left in such
haste that the sailors were not suffi-
GENTLY clothed against the bitter cold
and foggy North sea climate. League
officials said that upon plea from
Daniels, they got women in many sec
lions of the country to donate the
following equipment, which has been
shipped since the American destroy
ers arrived abroad:
Heavy wooden sweaters, mufflers,
helmet caps, mittens, weather coats,
arctics, felt knee boots.

surprise, chagrin and humiliation to
the speech of the eloquent senator
from Missouri. in which he has ex-
coriated Colonel Roosevelt and held
his division up to the scorn of the
country
Had the words spoken by the SEN
ator from Missouri been uttered by
any one else outside the senate cham
Der, we would have concluded that
the colonel and his division were not
wanted. I glory in the Roosevelt di-
vision. 1t is with pleasure and bub-
bling joy that 1 support it.
-'All that he asks is the right to die
for his country. My God, when was
it that this nation decided to deny its
sons the right to fight for it? 1t is a
sad thing that the remarks of the SEN
ator from Missouri were made at this
time We have stood shoulder to
shoulder and it has remained for the
senators to inject politics into the
Roosevelt amendment. To say that
Theodore Roosevelt is inspired by po-
litica1 ambition in offering to raise
this division is without foundation or
fact.
After all is said about San Juan
the fact remains that Theodore Roose-
welt fought and today he asks the right
to fight again. He~fought the fight of
brave man and he led his command
to victory. He's got red blood in his
veins and the tenacity and the cour-
age to win when he fights. That is
the sort CT man we need in this war.
1t is an awful thing that his motives
should be questioned. Oh, for more
Roosevelts and more divisions to fol-
low him.

question of proposed changes in the
army uniform by instructing bureau
chiefs that he will not give considera-

organization, equipment or uniform of
the army that does not bear directly
on successful prosecution of the war
against Germany. The secretary's
action was made necessary by the in
