tRepubIicsn A. p. Leased WIre1

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-From Sur- geon General .Gorgas the senate mili- tary committee today sought light upon health and sanitary conditions in the amy, resuming it's investigation sus pended few days ago to present the Reorganization legislation about which centers the committee row with the ad ministration.
 General Gorgas reiterated statements made in his official reports to the de partment after a tour of inspection. that the croWding of men in tAe can lohmentsi and camps not ready 10 re- celNe them was largely responsible for the epidemies of disease which have ragged at some of the posts. He agreed wlth other officers who have proceeded nm on the stand. however, as to the necessity for hurried training.
 Wouldn't it have been better fo have waited until the cantonments were ready" asked Senator Freling- huysen.
 From a physical standpoint, yes" the general replied, but l think the training of these men should not have been delayed"
 Hospital construction was stonnad last summer that barracks might he erected faster, he explained. and no camp hospital is complete now. though sanitation conditions are improving as | shoWn by recent mortality reports General Gorgas emphasized the need for observation camps, the establish ment of which is being considered He did not consider clothing shortages as an important factor in the pneumonia epidemic, explaining that control over the germ was the principal point to be considered
 Funston Location is Bad General Gorgas said that with the exception of Camp Funston, Kan. all camps were admirably located from a sanitation standpoint.
 Senator Wadsworth suggested that | lack or central power could be held largely responsible for overcrowding and inadequate clothing supplies. He said he had been informed that the war department expected to send the national guard to France before win | ter but had not co-operated with the | shipping board to the extent of re- quisitioning tonnage to send it across. Questioned about hospital ships Gen eral Gorgas said the question had been taken up by him seven or eight months ago and that he was expecting a deci- sion every day. He had been told it was decided tbat the navy should con- " to three months. he said, to re-fit a transport so that it could be used for a hospital ship.
 The general described the extensive plans being made for army hospitals outside the camps. It is hoped, he said to provide 100000 beds and established Il hospitals have offered the department as many as 40,000 beds besides.
 The 14,000 physicians in the service, he declared, are ample to take care of the men now under arms. He said the army had the cream of the profes- sion.
 Of the new psychological board which is studying qualifications of of fieers and men, the general said he had little confidence in the system when first undertaken but now regards it a really efficient asset to- the depart ment

that Germany gives her sanction to what has been done in Austria. Both spokesmen express confidence in the success of the peace negotiations with Russia, in contrast to the bitter de- nunciation of the conduct of the Teutons by Leon Trotzky. the BoI- sheviki minister for foreign affairs. This attitdue. officials and diplomats believe to be the result of apprehen- sion that the confession at this mo- ment of the failure of the Brest- Litovsk negotiations would exasperate the German and Austrian publics be- yond the safety point
 In some quarters there was a dis position to find a grain of hope in the concession by both speakers that there were points in the utterances of Lloyd George and President Will son that might be acceptable to the Germanic powers and afford the basis of further discussions. But other of ficials insisted that this was only
 another demonstration of the truth | of President Wilson's statement in | his address to congress, that it was | the practice of German diplomacy to 1 mislead by declaring adherence to | large principles and then neutralize
 them by insistence upon details of
 quite another character.
 The present belief of the officials { is that there is not the slightest
 probability of a compliance by the United States and the allies with the final demand of the German l chancellor for the submission of them ] of new proposals for peace

 ON SHORTCOMINGS
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-The ad- ninistration's answer to Senator Chamberlain's speech in the senate yesterday on war department short comings, will be made by Secretary Baker before the senate military committee Monday.
 MT. Baker wrote Chairman Chamb- erlain today asking the committee to arrange an opportunity for him to present a summary of what has been done in America in the war, and that a time and place be fixed so as to enable all members of congress so disposed to attend. The committee determined not to have a hearing anywhere except in the regular com mittee room and invited the secre- tary to appear there Monday morn ing at 10:S0 o'clock unless he de- sired an earlier date.
 Although he is anxious to address as many members of congress as possible, and is said to have hoped that he might be invited to appear before the senate itself, it is under stood Mr. Baker will take the op- portunity given.
 Commenting, before he had been advised of the action of the com mittee, Secretary Baker said he would lay before the committee every Iact in connection with the war de- partments activities, except those which, through publication, would Pndanger the lives of American sol- 6iers.
 Will Answer Questions
 He added that he would be glad to answer any questions which the committee approved from members of the committee or from any other person who might be present.
 The war department took a step today regarded by some observers as forestalling the senate committed s proposed legislation for a munitions director. by appointing Edward R. Stettinius of New York, surveyor general of all war department pur- chases. Mir. Stettinius will assume his duties at once under Colonel Palmer F. Pierce, director of pur- chases and lend the weight of his purchasing. for the allies in the wide experience as supervisor oi purchasing for the allies in the United States to the task of co-or- dinating the war supplies. His worl for the allies was taken over some time ago by the allied purchasing commission.
 Mir Baker said the organization planned by the department differed essentially from any plan. for a min ister or director of munitions. Unde the departments plan, the individua bureaus continue to make contract Aand to supervise production.

CHANCELLOR
 OF GER MANY TALKS PEACE
Won Hertling Denies His Nation Is Seeking Slice of France; Says Allies Do Not Talk Peace Earnestly

Declaring that he could not see any indication of an "earnest desire for peace" in the recent speech of Premier Lloyd George, but observing what he held to be a changed attitude on the part of the English statesman, Count von Hertling, imperial German chan cellor in a speech before the reichstag main committee, said that Lloyd George had refrained from abuse and showed an inclination for negotiation. Won Hertling disagreed with foreign newspapers which had placed this fla vorable construction on the British premiers' words, and said he felt this deduction was the outgrowth of Lloyd Georges statement that he did not wish to annihilate Germany"
 The chancellor declared that Lloyd George seemed to consider Germany guilty of all possible crimes.
 We cannot understand such feelings iplor find therein proof of a sincere will Vfor peace" von Hertling is said to have stated.
 The imperial German chancellor dwelt in great detail upon sections of President Wilson's address, stating that upon the first four points an agreement could easily be reached. These points relate to the abolition of
 
 the sea outside territorial waters, sub ject to international laws, removal of economic barriers and establishment of equal trade conditions among na- tions and reduction of armament
 The fifth point, regarding which the chancellor said some difficulties would be met with, provided for impartial adjustment of all colonial claims based upon the principle that the interests of the population concerned must have equal weight with the claims of the government whose title is to be de- termined.
 The ninth point in the presidents speech called for readjustment of the Italian front along clearly recognized lines of nationalities; the tenth for free opportunity for autonomous develop ment of the peoples of Austria Hun gary; the eleventh for the evacuation of Rumania, Serbia and Montenegro free access to the sea for Serbia and adjustment of the relations among the Balkan states, with international guar antees of their independence.
 The conclusion of the imperial Ger man chancellor's remarks are secured by the Associated Press last evening are contained in the following dis patch:
 AMSTERDAM, Jan. 25.-So long as our opponents have not unreservedly taken the standpoint of the integrity o1 the allies they can offer the only pos sible basis of peace discussion, I must adhere to the standpoint hitherto al ways adopted and refuse the remova in advance of the Belgian affair from the entire discussion.

: Of U. S., May 10, 1918.
It is with great pleasure to note in
the columns of this paper that the
Hon. Halvor STEVENSON has filed for
the denomination as representative to
Congress from the Ninth District.
There could be no greater benefit to
the Soldiers and Sailors of this
district, than to have him reelected.
During my stay in the training camp
in Philadelphia, Mr.. STEVENSON con-
sidered it his duty to do me a great
favor He went so far as to personally
assist me. It is without a doubt that
other men from this community have
been similarly treated. You will do us
an injustice, to fail to support him.
In this great crisis we cannot afford
to make mistakes. Let experience lead
us. One blunder may prQlong this
frightful war to an indefnate period.
We are the fighters you are the back
ers. If you are for us, if your are for
Liberty, if you stand for Democracy,
stand with us for STEVENSON.

Humiliation and Prayer.

President Wilson has issued pro-
clamation asking us all to meet in our
places of worship on Memorial Day
for public humiliation, fasting and
prayer. Let us stop our holiday max,
ing for an hour on the national
Memorial Day and think of the causes
of this war. Let us pray to God that
every one of us may do his duty. If
this spirit prevails, the issue can not
be doubtful.
A great calamity is commonly a
violation Of the laws of right and
wrong. This world war can be traced
to such wrongdoing. OF course as al
ways happens, the innocent suffer
with the guilty, often seemingly more
than the guilty.
The war is the direct, result Of sell
fish and materialistic spirit. The idea
has been spread abroad in the world
that the chief thing is material success,
and that any action is justifable to
secure that end.
This spirit has prevailed to a con-
siderable extent in all nations. < Ger
many aVOWS 1t, and practlSeS 1t with
thorough going efficiency. In so far as
we have been likewise guilty, we must
turn from this low standard, and take
our position for truth and justice.
1t is a source for the greatest hope
for us as nation that our people are
doing it to a splendid extent.
The national Memorial Day brings
us plenty of inspiration for the task
before us. The trials we have suffered
and shall suffer were met by our
fathers and mothers. They knew the
same suffering and heartache and loss.
But they came through it with honor,
and so shall we today. The guiding
hand Of God has many times been
manifested in the history Of our people
It will lead us on through the darkness
of this hour.
