Complete defense Of the Food and
Fuel Administrations vas offered to
the Senate this afternoon by senator
Andrieous A. Jones OF New Mexico,
ono or the members OF tho committee
which conducted tho probe into the
sugar and coal shortgaReE
At the same time Senator Jones
took occasion 10 severely criticize
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge Of Aassa-
ckusetts for his speech which hs
states tended Ito discourage the great
host of American citizens who are
making sacrifices in order to preserve
this Republic"
Going farther in his criticism OF
Senator Lodge, Senator Jones said he
displayed "cocksuredness expected
to bs found in certain species OF
young college graduates but not
looked for among matured statesmen
or professors OF literature" Senator
Jones also criticised the committee
which Investigated tho coal and sugar
for its failure to offer a re-
port to the Senate.
In summing up his conclusions
Senator Jones said! The directors
OF the Food and Fuel Administration
are men spIendidly equipped, having
both natural and acquired executive
ability as administrators Of high or
der and were weel chosen for their
positions"

placed q large sum OF money to
Giselt's account in q Swiss bank, and
this she transferred to the Bayerisch-
er Vereinbank in Munich. As she
had collected large sums for war re-
lief, and was on the board of nine
war charities, no suspicion was sI-
cited.
She had given to these orsaniza-
tions the greater part OF the small
fortune she had made from her play
and other writings not absorbed by
taxation and bond subscriptions, but
there were many wealthy women,
hungry, sad, appfehensfve that peace
would find them paupers, upon whom
she could depend to give literally.
There was to be no printed matter
nor correspondence. but an army OF
lieutenants. who, starting from GER
tain centers. would augment their
numbers from Giesla's long lift of
correspondents, until IL would be pos
sible to sound personally all the
women OF a district whom II was
thought wise TO trust.
