The expected public attack on Mr..
Adams did not loatsrisslizs. His friends
asserted that he was q good American
and all the fight in them had been
stirred by the allegations that he had
been leader in pro-Germanism prior
to the entry OF the United States into
the war
The decision of the committee seat

brought JOY TO the Adams camp, as he
was regarded as PARTISAN Of the

as on the fence.
Thompson With Adams
William Hale Thompson, mayor of

senatorial nomination next fall, en-
rolled himself on the Adams side. He
was asked:
I'm your opinion do the charges
against Mr.. Adams, true or untrue, in
any way initiate against him as your
choice for chairman Of the republican
national committee"
Il can see nothing in what Mr..
Adams has done or said which would

and good republican," replied the
mayor.

Mr. Thompson introduced a resolu-
ton of some length which was refer

King George and David Lloyd
George, the British prime minister,
in addresses to the British parlia-
ment-the former before a joint
session Of the house Of lords and
the house Of commons-have de-
clared again that in the utterances
Of the spokesman Of the Teutonic
allies. there can be found no basis
for a peace which will fulfill the
demands Of the democratic gov
ernments.
The addresses Of both the mon
arch and his prime minister were
at one with President Wilson s
speech to congress Monday, King
George declared that until there
was recognition Of the basic prin-
ciples upon which an honorable
peace could be concluded it was
the duty Of the British to prose
cute the war with all the vigor
they possess.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 13.-COntro-
versy over American war efficiency
and reorganization promises soon to
reach concrete form for action in con-
gress. g. @.n.
The senate military committees in
quiry, which began just two months
ago, virtually was concluded today
with the submission by Secretary
Baker of confidential Information re-
garding shipping facilities. About the
same time it became known that Pres.
ident Wilson unalterably opposed the
committees bill for a war council
and munitions director and plans to
begin tomorrow a series ON confer
ences with members of congress, re-
publicans and democrats, calling them
to the White House to discuss legisla.

reorganization as he desires. The bill

will be followed Friday by Senator
Weeks, of Massachusetts, republi-
can member Of the military commit
tee, in support of the bills for war
cabinet and munitions director.
Chairman Chamberlain Of the mill
tary committe announced late today
that Secretary Baker probably would
not be recalled again for questioning
by the committee, his detailed state
ment on the shipping situation being
regarded as making it unnecessary.
Doubt Bakers Figures.
Secretary Baker, according to COM
mittee members, submitted complete
information regarding available Am
erican tonnage and prospects Of secur-
ing allied tonnage for transportation
and supply Of American forces sent
abroad. Doubt remains in the com
mittee, however, Chamberlain said, as
to whether Mr.. Bakers information
supports his statement that the pros
poets were not unpromising for put
ting a million and half American
soldiers in Europe this year. Mr.. Bak-
er in his statement, reiterated the
opinion that but two tons gross or
1.6 tons net, are required to maintain
each man in Europe. Senator Hitch
cock recently asserted five tons per
man are necessary. o.''''r'''i
Although the secretary's data will
not be made public, Senator Weeks
is expected to make a general state
ment in his speech challenging some
of the conclusions. !. .1..% Io't1

Agrees With Wilson
Lloyd George asserted that Pres
idcnt Wilson's estimate Of the rec
cnt speeches Of Count Won Hert-
ling, the imperial German chan
cellor, and Count Czernin, the
Austro-Hungarian foreign minis
ter, was correct one, He added
that the British government had
not recedcd an iota from its an
nounced war aims.
Until some better proof than had
been provided by the speeches of the
leaders OF the central powers that
those countries were prepared to con-
slider the aims and ideals for which
the allies and the United States were
fighting, Lloyd George said 1t would
be Great Britain's regrettable duty to
60 on and make preparations neces-
sary to establish international right.
Military Activity.
