CREEL IS QUIzzED
BY House MEMBERS
Disposition to Curtail or Control
Committees Activities.

George CreePs chairmanship of the
Committee on public Information wos
the subject Of a 5-hour executive in
quiry yesterday by subcommittee of
the House Appropriations Committee.
Another hearing will he held his
morning.
CreeI presented an estimate OF g.
= p9S. 600 for the local expenses OF the
committee for the coming year. In so
doing he signified his willingness to
place its United States activities I'M
der the scrutiny Of Congress. As for
its foreign activities. he wishes that
their expenses be borne by the Presi-
dents fund.
Should the subcommittee report the
appropriation amendment to the
house there is little doubt that an at
tempt will be made to either radically
curtail the activities of the COnmittee
or abolish it entirely.
The famous Fourth of July U-boat
story of a year ago; the airplane story
which caused the country to believe
America would soon be supTe e in
aerOnautics, and the account that
dealt with the perfection of the Lib
erty motor, were some of the things
the subcommittee questioned CreeI
about. He confessed that errors had
been made. according to members. but
added that the Stories had been ac-
cepted IN SOol faith by himself.

ances given the Chesapeake Beach
Railway Company by government
officials
Although the beach is on Chesa-
pcake Bay. it is so far from the
Virginia capes that its lights could
not be seen by submarines at the
entrance to the bay, and officials
are certain that the naval patrol
and the coast defenses at the Vir-
ginia capes render it virtually an
impossibility for a submarine to en-
ter the waters.
On the strength of these assur-
ances. Chesapeake Beach is pre-
pairing for its usual nightly electri-

Tremendous increase has occurred in

THE number of declarations of in

in a year has at no time exceeded
$4,000, but during the last year there

be eligible during the next fiscal year
to complete their citizenship. During
the year 1917 when this estimate was

Bazaar Raises $1,455.
A native bazaar held in Pago Pafio
on Flag Day, April Il, raised a.45S.74
for the Navy Relief Society, whose
headquarters are 5O3 Real Estate
Trust Building. Washington.
Pago Pago is on the island of Tu-
tuila and is next to Upolu, which
was taken from Germany by Great
Britain at the beginning Of the war
because of its excellent harbor, Apia.
Here Robert Louis Stevenson spent
the last years of his life.
The island OF Tutulia was taken
in 1900 by the United States, and
the natives at that time were in a
totally uncivilized state. Capt. f.
]. Dorm, U. s. N, corresponding
secretary of the Navy Relief So
ciety, was commandant or governor
OF the island in 1901 and 1902 when
Pago Pago was made into a coaling
station.
In the letter received by Capt.
Dorm, the bazar is described: The
natives held a bazar on Flag Day,
Ajril II, and sold ice cream and
Samoan curios. The natives also
contributed money from their copra
surplus. which had been distributed
after the years accounts had been
closed.
The net result was the sum OF
I.455.74 after deducting $44.26 ex-
penses.
T. Tominaga. Japanese. ward
room steward of the navy yard,
made a gift of $40 of his expense
account for making the ice cream
and labors for the bazaar.
T. Tominaga accepted the $40 and
Immediately turned it over for the
relief society. also. and $40 is a
lot of money for a japanese ste
ward in Pago Pago.
The suggestion for the bazaar
came from a bazaar given by the
white families of the island on the
preceding Fourth of July. The ma
tives Immediately wanted to help

the widows and dependents of the
navy through the Navy Relief. as
had the white people. So, through
their native district governor. Maui
ga, they asked for permission to
give a bazaar, too, on their native
Council day, Fono day. On this day
they hold a national assembly and
petition the United States Cover
nor for such things as they desire.
The Governor persuaded them to
wait until Flag day as Pago Pago
had had all the baZaars the tiny
colony could afford that year.
The Navy Relief Society for which
these people who are just a little
over a decade out of savagery con-
tributed so much is a government
society. 1t exists on private con-
tributions, however, and its pur-
pose is to afford immediate relief
to widows, mothers or other de-
pendants of naval men who are
lost.
Yesterday the force under Capt.
E. ]. Dorm, at sos Real Estate Trust
Building, were busily sending out
letters relative to the dependents
of the men lost on the Lincoln.
Helps Dependents.
II it is ascertained that any
mother, wife or dependant, of any
one of these men is without money,
for the mans salary stops at his
death, $25 is sent to the bereaved
one at once. This is to tide her
over until the War Risk Insurance
Bureau begins to send her money.
In some cases help has been extend
ed for a period of ten years.
Membership in the Navy Relief
Society at a cost of 81 a year is
voluntary with the navy men. and
the loved ones are benefited at his
death whether he is n member or
not. As the work is all dependant
on voluntary contributions it is easy
to see how much help and encour-
agement the Sl.I55.1i from the ma
tives OF Pago Pago is to the work.

YANK PATROLS
DEFY GAS WITH
RUBBER SUITS
"TwoIGat Men with New
Device Are Masters of
No Mans S Land.

American ingenuity. has discovered
a means of circumventing the deadly
mustard gas, according to an Ameri-
can army officer who recently return
ed from the front With all fear OF
gas banished, the American patrols
are going out into No Mans Land
every night armed only with brace
Of automatic revolvers. These men
have earned the name Of ''the two
gat men" and they own No Mans
Land after much the same fashion as
the "two-gun" man of the Wild West
frequently was the master of frontier
towns.
mustard gas, SO heavy that It will
seep through ordinary clothing and
burn the flesh hours after a gas at
tack, will not penetrate rubber. II
has been the custom of the Germans
to place liquid mustard oil in shell
holes and depressions near their front
lines. As a result, many men on night
patrol. creeping from shell hole to
shell hole where they took cover when
the star blazes UP, lost their lives.
In order to aid them In worming
their way across the muddy trails of
No Mans Land, the Americans hit
upon the idea of wearing a rubber uni
form like a union suit that is laced
up the back. They found that mus
tard gas would not penetrate the close
weave of the suit and by wearing
gloves and a heavy gas mask they
have been immune to all gas en-
countered.
The only weapons carried by many
of these men is a brace of heavy
automatic revolvers. The guns. if
nickled, are painted or covered with
mud lest they give off glitter. The
Americans have found that they can
attack or fight off the enemy in a pa
troll much better with revolvers than
when forced to use a rifle.
Special equipment for front line
troops is being devised which will have
all of the merits of the rubber uniform
but will not be as expensive.

BREAD PRICES
ANNOUNCED BY
FOOD OFFICIAL
Administrators S Committee
Acts to Prevent Excess
Charges.

II you paid more than II cents
for your pound of rolls this morn
ing you were cheated.
Moreover, you have a comeback.
Food Administrator Wilson has de-
creed that from this time forth II
cents for a pound Of rolls. cents
for a 1s-ounce loaf Of bread. and .
cents for a pound loaf is all District
Of CoIumboa residents need to pay.
II you are asked to pay more just
tell Mr. Wilson and something will
happen at once-but not to you.
Fair to Consumers.
The retailers get one cent for
wrapping and delivering each loaf
of bread. whether it is a 12-ounce
loaf or a pound loaf. so he pays z
and cents. respectively. for his
bread. He earns two cents for
wrapping and delivering rolls, and
so pays but 12 cents for a pound of
rolls. These prices are the maxi
mum figures according to Mr.. Will
son. and constitute the fairest pro-
position ever put up to the consum-
ers and retailers of Washington. The
prices were fixed yesterday by Mr..
Wilson and the committee working
with him. in order that profiteering
merchants may not put the price
higher every time there is bad news
from the front.
The committee which decided how
much the people of the District must
pay for the staff of life is composed
of Commissioner Louis Brownlow,
W. ]. Sullivan. chairman of the Ia
Dor committee of the National Coun-
ell Of Defense, and Frank ]. Scott.
The decision of the committee was
based upon the investigation and re-
port of the bread situation made
by the Federal Trade Commission.
The matter was taken up upon the
report of certain bakers in the Dis
trict. who told Administrator Wilson
that they were forced TO increase
the price of bread.
GrOeers Have Hearing.
The six grocers cited to appear
before Administrator Wilson yester-
day to show cause why their sup
plies should not be cut off because
they violated the fair price, list
quotations emerged with smiling
countenances from their hearing.
They promised to abide by the fair
price" list henceforth and to follow
the new meat price list when it ap-
pears and were allowed to go.
Six other grocers and market men.
several of who are located in the
Mount Pleasant section, were noti-
fed yesterday to appear before Mr.
Wilson tomorrow afternoon to an
swer TO profiteering charges.
