Praising the Facilities.

PARIS, Sept. 22.-Newton d. Baker.
American Secretary OF War. visited the

other last night. Regarding his visit
he made the following statement to the
Associated Press:
Il have Just completed an inspection
OF the ports and am now making a
thorough inspection OF the service OF
supplies from here and later / am going
TO the recreation areas and thence to
General Headquarters. ! have been in
England and will return there IN week
or ten days, returning again to France
from England and will spend some time
with our combatant troops in the Amer
lean sector, after which ! will sail for
home.
six months have elapsed between the
time of my two visits TO the ports and
the service of supply. the progress
which has been made in building up the
great facilities upon which the sub
sistence and supply of the army rests
Is amazing From the docks to the
central storage facilities and enlarge.
ments have taken place everywhere on
scale which beggars description.
THE promptness. efficiency and ac-
curacy of the services are evident and
the spirit Of the officers and men is con-
fdent and high. Greatly accelerated
shipments OF troops from the United
States have Of course made heavy de-
mands upon the supply system II has
more than met its burden"
The correspondent of the Associated
Press told Secretary Baker that he had
been with the service OF supply for six
months and that once the American
officers talked OF the German organiza-

RECORD IN CONGRESS
Democratic Chairman Asserts
Republicans Have Been
Obstrhctionists.
HIS PARTY CONSTRUCTIVE
He Cites Holding Up of Ship
ping Board Bill Two Years
as Example.

WARRINGTON. Sept. 2-Representa-
tive Scott Ferris, chairman OF the Dem
ocraeic Congressional Committee. In n
statement tonight said the claims of
Republican leaders as voiced last week
In Congress that the election of Re-
sary to insure vigorous prosecution Of
the war falls before the facts" The
record. he said, reveals that Republicans
In Congress, viewed as whole. "have
been obstructionists" and that the DEM
ocrats have been "the reliance OF the
Administration on war measures"
- ut Is not necessary" said Mr.. Ferris,
ITO refer to recent attacks OF Senator
Sherman, Representatives Rodenburg.
Mason apd others on the President and
his followers to convince the country
that the Republican party as at present
organized is a party Of opposition rather
than a party of support
I'm the face of recorded votes and
actions It is Idle for the Republican
leaders to assert that the Republican
minority in Congress has been con-
structive. The contrary is the case.
1t likewise Is ridiculous for the Repub-
lican spokesman to maintain that they
have shown more foresight than the
party in power. The record cannot be
disputed.
THE Federal reserve, farm loan. agri-
cultural extension, tariff commission and
other laws enacted by Democratic Con-
gress put the country on a stable basis
before the war began. And Democratic
support Of war measures has vitalized
the whole war programme. Just as the
Federal reserve law, the tariff commits
sion act and others were enacted over
Republican opposition, the shipping
board bill. three war revenue measures
and indeed the war resolution itself were
put through over stubborn opposition by
the minority.
The Shipping Board, whose value is
now appreciated by the whole country
and by all the allies OF America. was held
up for two years--lacking only twenty
one days-by Republican opposition. 7
mention this as a single instance. Dozens
Of war measures could be cited to show
how Democratic support and Democratic
support alone has kept the Administra-
tion's war programme moving"
After recting the vote on various war
measures, Mr.. Ferris said that unity of
action In Washington is as essential now
as unity of military command is in
France. The DeuoCratic party. he de-
will ask the return of "A Demo-
cratici Congress on it's record in support
