To the Spectator thanks are due for
two enterprising mistranslations, one
belonging to the genus schoolboy howl

attempt at French on the part Of a

beetle roti" as the piece de resistance,
the riddle being solved by the appear

that the sergeant nourished some re-

that the imbecile roti had resulted
from half hour or so spent with a

CONTEST TO MEASURE

London, Jan. 1.-THE" House of

amendment to the representation of
the people bill by which it was sought
to exclude women from the suffrage.
The vote against the amendment was
13A to GO. s*s
The new franchise bill before the

position to woman suffrage. Earl
Loreburn moved to omit the clause
from the bill giving woman the par
liamentary vote. After two days

They argued that the present house

such momentous question. More
over, it was illogical, if the vote was
given, to stipulate the age of thirty

argued that wherever women had
been granted the vote stimulus had
always been given to socialism.

MISTAKES AND DELAYS TOPIC
Takes Full Responsibility and
Declares Never Before Was
Army So Fit.

Washington, Jan. 1l.-Every phase
Of the war departments preparations
for battle against Germany was out
lined and defended by Secretary Bak
er yesterday before the senate military
committee. He answered those who
nave criticised the department dur
ing the committees investigation with
the assertion that no army such as
that now under the American flag
ever has been raised, equipped OF
trained SO quickly, and that never be-
fore had such provision been made
for the comfort and health of an army
The secretary read an exhaustive
prepared statement when he took the
stand and was not interrupted until it
was concluded Then questions be-
gan to fly from every side Of the
committee table, launching a cross-ex.
animation that was not concluded at
adjournment tonight and probably will
continue all day tomorrow
Chairman Chamberlain and other
committeeman wanted to know par
ticularly about delays in furnishing
machine guns and rifles and much at
tention was devoted to the army's
supply purchasing system. Mr.. Bak-
err admitted there had been some mis-
takes and delays, but declared that
all fighting men in France were ade-
quately equipped and armed, and that
all sent over would be. He took full
responsibility for delay in approving
machine gun, holding that the value
of the Browning gun now developed
was worth it. He also said the SUI
perior weapon obtained by having the
British Enfield rifle re-chambered for
American ammunition compensated
for the delay there.
More than 100000 Americans are
now under arms, Secretary Baker
said, and an army of substantial size
already is in France ready for active
service.
Members of the committee were
frank in their disapproval of the sec
ret purchasing system of the depart
ment's They did not shake Mr.. Bak-
er's support OF it, however, he insisted
that it was essential to guard against
publicity concerning plants engaged
on war work.

LIESSMAN WILL r.
SUCCEED BREWER
AS SECRETARY
Bismarck Man Chosen by Reg
eats to Succeed Brewer
cs Secretary,
HANDLED DETAILS IN
ADJUTANT's ofF,c;

Fargo, N. D., Jan. 11.-Charle:
Brewer, secretary of the North Da
kota state board of regents since it:
organization under the Hanna admin
istration, rendered his resignation
to become effective January Is
and Charles ]. Liessman, now deputy
land commissioner, was named to sue
coed him. Mr.. Brewer was editor
of The Fargo Forum when he accept
ed an appointment with the board OF
regents, and it is understood that he
will return to newspaper work. He is
one of the best known Knights of the
Fourth Estate in North Dakota, and
his mountaineering extends through
out the northwest.
The resignation of Mr.. Brewer oc
casionel no surprise here. The board
of regents has been in a constant
state CT turmoil since Governor Fraz
Ter made his first attack during the
legislative assembly of 1917, and 1t
had been known for some time that
Mr.. Brewer planned to resign.
Mr.. Liessman, the new secretary
formerly was state organizer for the
Farmers union. He came to Bis
marck from futile about a year ago
and since that time has been active
in behalf of the league. He first
served for a time in the secretary OF
states office; then in the adjutant
generals office, where he handled
practically all of the detail work in
connection with the first draft, and
then, when Prater/ became land com
missioned, last October, Liessman was
named his deputy
Secretary Elect Liessman served
for a number of years in the Americ
an navy, working his way up to the
post of chief signal officer on the flag
ship of the Pacific fleet. He has made
a good record for efficiency at the
capitol, and his friends expect him
to make an acceptable secretary.
Oddly enough, dopesters in casting
about for probable successor to Col
Charles Brewer, hit upon practically
everyone at the capitol except LESS
man. Most prominent among those
mentioned were Frank Wilder, deputy
secretary of state, and Win S. Nit
chell, chief office deputy with State
Examiner Waters. Mr. Liessman was
as much surprised as anyone when
The Tribune gave him the news. The
regents secretaryship pays $1,000
