. BLOCKS PROBE
OF AERO WORK
Military Affairs and Con-
tingent Expenses Com
mittees Lack Harmony.

Relations between two important
strained, and the Military Affairs
Committee has been temporarily
blocked in its investigation Of the air
craft situation by the failure Of the
Committee on Contingent Expenses to
act upon the resolution of Senator
cation to continue.
The Committee on Contingent Ex-
penses. of which Senator Thompson.
Of Kentucky. is chairman. has mad
four days in which to act on the res
olution, which Senator Chamberlain
introduced last Thursday. The COM
mittee has had no meeting.
When members of the Military Az
fairs Committee learned yesterday
morning that Senator Thompson had
not even called his committee to-
gether to consider the resolution, they
were exceedingly angry.
Yelled threats were conveyed to
members Of Thompson's committee
that unless they acted on the reso'u-
ton within twenty-four hours. 6 mo-
ton would be made in the Senate to
take the resolution from the commit
tee and have 1t considered by the
whole Senate.
Senator Hitchcock, Of the Military
Affairs Committee, was advised later
that the resolution win be reported
today or tomorrow.
Further criticism OF the Liberty
motor was made to Congress when
Senator Brandegee inserted in yester-
days Record q letter received from
Leon Cammen, an engineer, Of ~
West Thirty-ninth street, New York.
saying that, in the production Of air
planes for this government. engineer
ing methods had been used which
would not be tolerated in the nan
ufacture Of milk bottles"
Senator Brandegee has not ya re-
ceived any communication from Gut
zon Borglum in answer to the chsrges
made against him by officials who
connected him with the promoti5n of
an aircraft company. It Is uhder-
stood that Brandegee is ready to
spread upon the Senate records Sany

Is Senator S Plea.

President Wilson was asked yes
terday not to sign the new draft bill
recently passed by Congress until 1t
can be changed so as to give credit
to States which furnished large num-
bers Of volunteers to the army.
Following a protracted debate in
the Senate. Senator Phelan, Of CALI
fornia, sent a letter to the President
earnestly requesting that the bill be
sent back to Congress for modifica-
ton. Unless this were done, he de-
clared, an injustice would be done
the States which had responded to
the call for voluntary enlistments
before the draft law became opera
tive. California, Nevada and Rhode
Island were cited as examples.

Oficials of the Provost Marshal
Generals office stated that the new
men made eligible to draft will prob

LOO, 900 men will be registered,
The bill as passed by the House
contained an amendment giving cred
It for enlistments in the making up
Of the State quotas. The President
formally indorsed the amendment in
a letter to Chairman Dent, of the

but after the bill had gone to con-
ference, the President wrote another
letter in which he said he had chang

President Wilson surrendered to the
Blue Devils" Of France yesterday
afternoon. Receiving the hundred
heroes Of the Chasseurs Alpins. on a
visit to Washington. in the big East
Room Of the White House. held up
his hands and said:
Comrades"
The President explained the brevity
of his speech by his lack Of facility
in French and the visitors lack Of
facility in English. The heroes were
presented to the President by Andre
Tardieu. French High Commissioner.
Washington yesterday showed ap-
probation of the valor of Ameri-
cas- French allies, by according a
tremendous ovation to the famous
los Blue Devils" whenever they
appeared on the streets, on a tour
of the city. under the direction of
the local chapter Of the Red Cross
Motor Corps. The French soldiers
were here only one day. They left
last night on a tour of the military
camps. While here they were
royalty entertained by the citizens
of Washington. In addition to an
automobile tour Of the city and a
reception by the President, they
were rendered a reception in the
New willard by the French people
residing in Washington
Driven Around the City.
Arriving in the city at o'clock

they spent the morning as the guests

leadership of Mrs. Mason Gulick.
from one Of the portable kitchen
canteens OF the corps.
At in the afternoon they were
received at the White House by Pres
ident Wilson, who. after speaking
few words OF welcome. shook hands
with each of the men. A drive
through Rock Creek Park completed
the sightseeing tour, and the party
was taken to the New Willard, where
a reception in their honor had been
arranged by High French Commis-
sioner Tardieu.
The Reception.
The long receiving line was headed
by Ambassador and Madame JUS
serand, with whom were many Of
the French residents OF Washington.
The soldiers were addressed in
French by the Ambassador, who
gave an affectionate greeting and
stated that he knew the appreciation
by the American people of the noble
service done for the allied cause by

risburg, Pa, from whence they will
begin their tour OF the military
camps, in the interest OF the Red

j. S. ARMY GETS
CAPRONI CRAFT
FOR BOMB USE

Signal Corps officers stated yester-
DAY that many Caproni bipianes
would be made In this country for
the American army in France. Al
though no contracts have been signed
1t is expected that before the end Of
the year production in quantity OF the
new machine will be under way.
The Caproni machines will be used
for night bombing. The gerat sue
cess of this machine in recent raids
over the German positions fronting
the lines held by the French have
convinced the allied aviation experts
that the Caproni design Is the best
for the heavy work required Of ma
chine in darkness. -
1t is believed that the Italian air
craft mission, which is to reach this
country soon, will bring latest revised
plans for the construction Of the
powerful machines. Officers stated
yesterday that the Caproni can read
ily be adapted to the requirements Of
the Liberty motor.
The adoption Of the Caproni as
the night bombing airplane leaves
only one type Of machine yet to be
adopted by the Aircraft Board. The
de Haviland " has been chosen as
the day bombing machine, and the
only question to be decided Is whether
the Bristol will be remodeled for use
as a scout and combat plane, or a
new model adopted. Few critics of
the Bristol have appeared. but It Is
stated that there is doubt OF the
value of the machine when equipped
with the Liberty motor. The Bristol
was designed to carry either Ia $50 or
800 horsepower engine and II has
proved a difficult task to adapt IL
for use with the $50 horsepower Lib
erty.
The Caproni Is said to be unsur-
passed for its lifting power. 1t has
demonstrated time and again its
value in night flying by its ability
to make long flights and carry great
stores of bombs.
