IVES HIS REASON
FOR STATEMENT

marks We're Directed at Military
Establishment and Not to
GOYernr1Cny

Washington. Jan. 21.-Replyins
to President Wilson's vigorous denun-
Citations of his New York speech, Sena-
tor Chamberlain TO night said:
"My argument was directed to the
military establishment and not to the
! general government. Those who
| heard me know that.
Il had no prepared speech and did
not speak from notes. | delivered an
extemporaneous address to the people
ther, explaining that since Bunker
Hill we had practically no military Or
! ganization or policy. 1 discussed the
subject from that viewpoint for
twenty minutes.
II said that the senate military
committee had tried to correct the
evils by the introduction of the two
new bills. One written by me is the
director of munitions bill, the other,
written by a subcommittee IS the
war cabinet bill.
"I still stand for both. Mr.. Bakers
effort to better his organization-with-
in the military establishment itself
have been coflmendable He tried to
! do something. Some improvements
! have been made in the system in
vogue.
''But in his plan the Inherent weak
ness in the last analysis is that there
is no one between the president and
the army able to act. The pew system
Of Mr. Baker comprises the clearances
board OF the war industries board,,anl
the various purchasing departments
There is the inherent weakness They
cannot act. u
Charges Weak Link.
''sThe war cabinet and the dire9sef
of munitions have distinct and pos
jtive\ power. One maps the progress
for the fixture; the other furnishes
supplies for the army. They con-
stitute a strong link in chain which
is never stronger than its weakest
link.
1--WE substitute for voluntary bod
les a strong organization: l regret
that the administration is against the
plan But will proceed with the
bill feel it my duty as senator.
''The people of the country are en-
titled to be let into the confidence OF
the senate military committee and
the committee considers that the bills
are necessary that tn war preparations
may be co-ordinated."
& i, excerpt from !Ctemberlain's
speech that caused the deepest resent
pposeiesseebsttituingrtaoinhrdlua
ment in administration quarters was:
"It (the military policy of United
States) has almost stopped functions
ing my friends. Why? Because OF
inefficency in every bureau asd every
department of the government OF the

hoped to spend another Of those de-
llghtful winters here, probably more,
and 1t certainly seems our prayers
we're heard. Isn't II nice to be IN
such a lovely land, so satisfied, and
permission to stay. All we have to
do Is to enjoy ourselves, keep clean,
look pretty and aid with the steel
shipments to Germany.
They are so grateful, those Huns.
They try to send back pound for

A nice lot, those fellows. Some of
them come over to stay with us.
They have such muddy, dirty looking
uniforms that we dye ours green and
let them wear them. The French put
"P. G." on their backs, and we put
"P. W" That's so the officers can
tell them from the soldiers and won't
work them so hard.

And silently steal away.
And when all of her deeds are meas

And we pause, while the bells are

We know, ont CT Ashland treasures,
She has given one heart Of gold.
Un-complaining, always patient,
She would greet you with a smile.
Not one selfish thought within her,
Breathing love thoughts all the while.
You have gained at last your rest,
dear.
Tears and sighs are wiped away
And we hope again to meet you,
When the mists have cleared away.
She was a good woman, a devoted
wife and mother, highly esteemed
and loved by all who knew her. She
