WASHINGTON, July 8.-Efforts Of
the Administration to secure immediate
disposal by the Senate of the House

take over telegraph, telephone, cable
and radio systems during the war
stirred up bitter fight to-day in the
upper house, in which the Adminstra-
tion won and then lost parliamentary
| advantage.
The resolution was buffeted back and
forth between the Senate Interstate
Commerce Committee and the Senate
floor, in a stormy controversy over the
question Of holding hearings or hasten
ing Senate debate and vote No de-
cision was reached or progress made,

little discussion and by a vote of 4 to
3. decided to dispense with hearings on
the resolution and ordered it reported
to the Senate without amendment or
recommendation.
The attempt OF Chairman Smith to
report the resolution caused an uproar
of protest in the Senate. After a
heated debate Senator Hitchcock. of
Nebraska, presiding temporarily, sus-
tanned point of order that a majority
OF the committee and not Of committee
men present must order measure re-
ported, and rejected the report, re-
turning the resolution to the committee
Senator Smith protested vigorously,
declaring his committee had acted in
perfect good faith and in accordance
with Senate committee custom.
Administration leaders promised to-
night to renew their fight tomorrow
to avoid extended committee hearings.
while the opposition also promised as
insistent demand for thorough in
vestigation of all questions connected
with the legislation.

WASHINGTON. July s.-The War
Council, which Secretary Of War Baker
created and to which he assigned Major
Generals Henry G. Sharpe and William
Crozier, after their administration of
the quartermaster corps and ordnance
department Of the army was found by
the Senate investigating~ committee to
be inefficient, was formally abolished
to-day by Mr.. Baker
Although four pages of printed gen.
eral orders were used in announcing
the creation of the War Council, one
sentence sufficed to announce its de-
mise.
The War Council, which was created
under General Orders No. 100, War De-
partment, 1917" the announcement
said, dis abolished.'
While this was the only official state
ment made, the fact that posts have
been found for all the general officers
who had been provided with jobs in the
War Council made its continuance un-
necessary The council has been con-
sidered in military circles as a fifth
wheel, serving no important function
in the prosecution of the war In addi,
tion to Generals Sharpe and Crozier.
Generals Bliss. Weaver and Biddle have
been members.
One by one the officers detailed to it
were shunted to other duties. Genera!

sentative of the United States on the
Versailles War Council, General Biddle

Especial Dispatch to The Tribune)
WASHINGTON, July 8.-Fifty
million people in Russia will suf-
fer famine within thirty days un-
less they secure relief from the
United States and the Allies, ac-
cording to cable advices received
here to-day. The food crisis in
Russia has been precipitated by
disordered conditions in Siberia.
In an official quarter it was
thought to-day that the report Of
the food crisis in Russia would
hasten the expected American
economic intervention in that
country. 1t was further believed
that regardless of the extent OF
American participation in the in
ter-Allied operations on the Muir
man Coast the United States
would seek to aid Russia by way
Of Siberia.
The report on food conditions
in Russia received in Washington
says Central Russia already Is
suffering for want of food. Crops
in the Ukraine and in the Rus
sian provinces overrun by Ger
many have been Communicated,
it is said, by the military authori-
ties. The only available surplus
lies in Siberia, and this has been
cut off by the internecine warfare
in that part of Russia.

are the facts.

OF perjury in connection with the

General Alfred L. Becker swore to
the complaint, which charged per-
Jury in report made to the Alien

ney General and then committed TO

Make this beauty lotion cheaply for

At the cost of small jar of ordi-
nary cold cream one can prepare
full quarter pint of the most Won
derful lemon skin softener and COM
plexion beautifer, by squeezing the
juice of two fresh lemons into a
bottle containing three ounces of or
chard white. Care should be taken
to strain the juice through a fine
cloth so no lemon pulp gets in, then
this lotion will keep fresh for months.
Every woman knows that lemon
juice is used to bleach and remove
such blemishes as freckles, sallow-
ness and tan and is the ideal skin
softener, whitener and beautifer.
Just try it! Get three ounces of
orchard white at any drug store and
two lemons from the grocer and make

fragrant lemon lotion and massage it
daily into the face, neck, arms and
hands. 1t is marvellous to smoother
