DECLARES DEFENSE

Echoes Of the war probe by the
Senate Military Committee sounded
in the Senate yesterday.

Charles Eisenman, chairman Of the
supplies committee of the Council of
National Defense. had resigned.
Senator Thomas also announced that
Gen Goethals said the reason Capt.

partment, resigned was because of in

SUNDAY STOPS
PASSING PLATE
'ATTABERNACLE
Collection Near $4,000
Mark-Evangelist Pleas
ed with D. c. Showing.

There will be no regular collections
at the Tabernacle after tonight. II is
possible that one or two special offer
ings will be necessary during the week
to clean up the last dollars of the
$4,000 expense fund for the revival
But even these may be dispensed with
II sufficient pledges shall be announced
tonight to cover the deficit.
Collections are down to within a few
thousand dollars of the sum needed.
The committee has in circulation q
batch Of pledge cards that are expect
ed to be turned in tonight Whatever
money shall be collected on these
cards will be credited to last Sunday
nights collection, since it is the inten-
ton of the committee, IL possible, tc
label Sunday last as the date on which
the final offering was taken.
ID. G. "Comes Across,
The committee has worked hard to
wipe out the big debt. At each of the
evening services last week special ap-
peals were made to the big audience to
come across" 1t looked for a while
as IL Washington was to establish a
precedent in having the offerings con-
tinue until the close of the campaign
on March and those behind the cam
paign were not inclined to let the word
go out that the nations capital" had
fallen down on the job of getting
money enough together 20 pay the re-
vival debts.
The two big features Of the cam
paign expense that have put "crimp"
into the total that have brought it
above the $50. 900 mark were the added
cost of construction Of the Tabernacle
and the living expense of the Sunday
party. Because OF the scarcity of
lumber and other materials and the
delays in getting supplies because of
the freight de-ups, construction Of the
Tabernacle here cost more than in any
city in which Billy has campaigned.
The added cost ranges anywhere from
5000 to 1900.
Because also, Of the abnormal con-
ditions in Washington due to the war
situation, living expenses of the party
have been high. officials of the Ma
tional School of Domestic Arts and
Sciences made the committee fiat
rate for rooms and board for the
party for eight weeks and tina. sum is
understood to be in the neighborhood
Of between 5000 and $500.
Using the $1,000 as basis, the ex-
penses for "eats" and rooms run about
$500 weekly for the party Of about If
teen members. That narrows down to
a little more than $33 a week for each
of the party members. Some Of the
committeeman consider this exception
ally high, especially in view of the fact
that one Of the objects OF the school
where the party is housed is to point
out to the students the value Of do
mestic economy and to teach them
how to stretch dollar bill.

fore Attorney General Gregory re-

tion. Chairman Fletcher declared
a date sooner could not be arranged
due to pending Senate business.
A decision also was reached to
summon Theodore n. Ferris, de-
signer for the Shipping Board until
his resignation was accepted be-
cause of fees taken from private
firms seeking contracts, to tell his
side of the story.
