 What is regarded as an important step in hte work of stabilizing Dusi- ness through the readjusment pc. ricd, was the creation of a war serv- ice executive committee. which will keep the business and industrial in. terests of the country in close touch with the government.

HEALTH OF ARMY GOOD.

Washington, Dec. 6e-The health of the American army, both at home and over seas, has been excellent, and the motality rate from disease prop ably lower than in any similar body of troops in the history of warfare, Surgeon General William c. Gorsas, declared in his annual report, made public today.
 Complete statistics of deaths ;n army camps are not included in the report which covers only the fiscal year to June 50, 1918.
 In 1917 total deaths from cisease were 2,9S4 and the death rate per thousand 63 per cent.
 This compares with seven year average of i9 per thousand.
 Measles is placed at the head of diseases causing deaths, although the report shows that 65 per cent of the deaths were due to resultant pneu- monia

 THAN GREAT BRITAIN
Committee Has Prepared the Amount and Are Prepared to Present the Matter When Called Upon by the Peace Conference.

London, Dec 7.--Great Britain will demand of Germany eight billion pounds sterling for Great Britain and her dominions as reparation for the war according to the Daily Mail. The newspaper says it understands that David Illoyd d4George, the pre- mier, will make this announcement in a speech at Leeds today.

 The British claim, says the Daily Mail. has been prepared by a com mittee headed by the Australian pre- mier and Baron Cunliffe, former president of the Bank of England. who is head and one of the principal members of the committee. It adds that it is expected the report will be published Saturday.
 The Daily Mail says the French claims for reparation will be infinite larger than that of Great Britain.

AMERICA WILL SOON
 HAVE 1291 WAR SHIPS
WREN WAR WAS DECLARED THERE WERE ONLY 364
 SHIPS IN THE NAVY.

Washington, Dec. 6.-The Ameri. can navy will number a total of t,29I vessels, including 40 battleships and 529 destroyers, on July i, 1920, ac. cording to a statement prepared by Rear Admiral Griffin, chief of the bureau of steam engineering. for the house naval committee and made public today
 This statement shows that when war was declared there were 364 ships in the navy, while on November l, ten days before hostiities ceased, there were IT, exclusively of pri. vately owned yachts and ether yes, sels taken over for patrol service. The greatest increase was 30O in subma, rine chasers.
 The increase in destroyers was 4t, to a total of 92, and that of subma liHes from ii to 70.
 Only two Eagle boats had been completed on November f. Ninety eight others were contracted fer, but Rear Admiral Taylor. chief of the bu reau of construction and repair, has lnformed the commission. it became known today that the navy depart ment has given orders that only sixty of the vessels be completed.
 Reels for eighty of the Eagles have net been laid, but material for most of them has been fabricated.
 Only two battleships were added to the fleet during the wal and only one will be added between this time and July 1. 1920, Admiral Griffin said. Six others, how ever. actually are un- der construction. and two, the Ten nessee anC California. are approXi- mately half completed. Work on three others is yet to be started.
 Admiral Taylor informed the com mittee that contracts are yet to be placed for 29 ships which have been authorized They include two battle ships, 12 destroyers, ten submarines, two destroyer tenders, a repair ship a transport and submarine tender
 Work has not yet been started on any cf the five battle cruisers author ized in 1916, the laying down of these vessels and other major craft having been deferred because of the demand for destroyers during the war. Nine ty-five destroyers authorized during the war are now more than half com pleted.

 PhilosOphically. the inhabitants both here and in the smaller towns. continue to accept the situations and the local officials are cooperating with the Americans as well as they can.
 Few rules have been laid down and it is expected that the broad admon- ition contained in General Pershiny' 8 proclamation that regulations pro mutgated by the military must be obeyed, without question and unhesi- tatingly will be respected,

 As the army advances the neccs- sity of food relief appears less urg- ent. Food is not abundant, but there is enough, Tine absence of pepper in the restaurants, 1t is learned is due to the act that the Germans used all the available stocks of this con diment Tn the manufacture of mus tard gas.

 Four days later, it is expected, the entire line will enter the final phase of the adva1ice.

 And give Costa Rica. Nicaragua and Bulgaria, for instance, the right to determine the size of our army and navy?" asked Senator Borah.
 Senator Walsh replied that dls. armament should not be dictated by the smaller nations. but, he declared. is a necessary preliminary to the leagues establishment.

Washington, Dec. 6.--There was general discussion in the senate on the proposed league of nations, with Senators Lewis of Illinois, Walsh of Montana and Williams of Mississippi, democrats, supporting such an organ ization and Senator's Borah of Idaho, republican, and Reed of Missouri democrat. opposing it. Few senators followed the discussion, the average attendance during the day being about thirty
 The resolution of Senator Cumm,ns, republican, proposing appointment oi q senate committee to go to Paris and keep the senate informed on events at the peace conference, was not brought up today because of the absence of it's author. The senate adjourned tonight until next Tuesday when the war revenue bill will be taken up with the right of way given it The peace discussion, however, is expected to continue during the de- bate on this measure.
 Senator Lewis opened the debate today by delivering a prepared ad- dress. He asserted that public opin. ion rather than armed force must oe relied upon 10 enforce the decrees of the league of nations and said that the successful operation of the league may give greater cause for appre- hension than it's failure because Of the demands that may be made by other groups of nations. He said, however. that he believed the bene- fits to be derived by all nations from a league would compensate for any sacrifice that might have to be made.
 Replying to Senator Lewis, Senator Rorah declared he had "yet to dis cover any person who is willing to follow the league to where they think it will go if followed to it's logical conclusion
 The important questions involved in forming the league, Senator Borah said, are those of jurisdiction and power of the tribunal and the em- hodiment in 1t of the necessary pow CTS to enforce it's rulinss.
 Senator Borah asked what would the league amount to unless it were given power to enforce it's judg- ments.
 And if it does render a judgment for the people preventing war" in terjected Senator Reed and has the power to enforce that judgment, how is it going to enforce that judgment without making war?"
 Exactly" replied the Idaho sen atOr. who said that A. J. Balfour, British foreign minister, has been quoted IS fayoring the league of na- tions, but he said the kind of league proposed by the British statesman seems to me as nothing more than an old ladies quilting society,"
 Reading from a. statement on the league made by MT Balfour last Au- aust 1. Senator Borah said the for eign minister rejects the proposition for an international court and en- forcement of decrees through eco homie pressure, ridicules universal disarmament and regrets universal arbitration.
 Former Ambassador Bryce and the Earl of Curzon also appear to think that the league should not nave mill tary forces under it's control nor pow CT to limit nations armament, said the senator
 Supporting the league, Senator Walsh suggested Senator Borah de- sired to have the United States in a position for another territorial grab
 "The senator understands just about right" Seuator Borah replied. "I'm willing to leave to this country

 There was nothing to show any re ply was made but MT Bieiaski said that under date of October 21. 1916, the German ambassador sent this message to Berlin in cipher:
 / "In the official accounts for the first and second qua1ters of 1916, will be found entries of 'nyments to Mir Theodore Low As to tn,s l have to report tha. this gentleman is of Ger me 1cscent and is married to Ger man lady He offered Us his service to work on a paper in WashingtUn. thc National Courier This offer came at the time we were deeply regretting the death of Inc.

 Under date of August 9 1916, MT. Bielaski said, this communication was sent to the Berlin foreign office, and was signed by Dr. Fuehr a former German consular agent in the Orient who came to the United States early in 1914:
 "The Washington Post whose neu- tral attitude toward the belligerents during the present war has won for it marked recognition from the German side has of late materially changed it's tone on questions of European politics, and seems fairly on the way to join our enemies.
