rNspECTs SHIP CANAL

Manchester. December so.--The inspec- .tion of the Manchester ship canal by President Wilson and his party had sev- |era1 picturesque features, All the ships in the inland harbor were dressed bright ly with flags and the seamen cheered n the presidential party passed by
 The British Mystery Ship and two German submarines were irl the harbor. At first glance the Mystery ship ap- peAred to be an ordinary steamer. but as the President and his party approached, thA ship showed it's real character.
 M With all the rapidity and effect of ! Fffeat eonjuring trick, the dingy vessel 6&o8ne fully armed warship. Parts of the upper works fell down and guns appeared with gun crews at their sta tions. The German submarines were manned by British sailors.
 ! The trip to the ship canal was short ened because the presidential party was behind it's schedule, disappointing many of the vessels in the harbor which were prepared to greet the President.

WAR DEPARTMENT ROUNDLY SCORED
 BY CHAMBERLAIN
Speaks for Over Three Hours Reiterating Charges Made in New York Speech
 Early in the War
By AssocIated Pres.

Washington, December 30. ISenator Chamberlain of Gre gon, chairman of the Senate military committee, spoke for more than three hours today in the Senate in criticism of the war department, dealing par ticularly with what he termed failure to provide adequate facilities for returned wounded soldiers and to formulate a def mite plan for demobilization.
 The senator reiterated many of tho charges he made in his address at New York soon after the nation entered tho war and in a subsequent address in, tho Senate and said that Information that had come to light since had justified the statements he had made, Senator Cham berlain's New York address brought forth sharp statement from President Wilson. Referring indirectly today to that criticism, the Oregon senator said his purpose then and his purpose now was to bring about an improvement in conditions.
 Senator Chamberlain. who was heard by crowded galleries. said the war de- partment now is pursuing with regard to hospital facilities the same dlatory tactics 1t did In the prosecution of the war many months ago.
 [ DEPARTMENT NEGLIGENT
 If the var department.s he declared, paid one-half the attention to prepara- tions for receiving these boys as they are to getting Legislation through Congress in order to protect contractors who made contracts for war supplies over the tele- phone In violation of law, this matter would soon be settled,s
 The need for a definite policy of demobilization was urged by the senator who said that if one we're established unrest among the men in cantonments and overseas would cease He praised the British plan for returning it's soldiers to civil life, saying it9wzs framed along economic lines
 The senator was frequently inter- rupted by questions from other senators, but there was no general debate In con { ciuding, Senator Chamberlain paid 2 tribute to the American army in France. saying that only once. and then by com inand of the French officer in charge, had an American unit ever given ground before the enemy. No army in all the history of the world, he declared had made such brilliant reeor,i
 Senator Chamberlain said he referred to the Oyerman bills .ein order to draw from the past 2 lesson for our guidance in the future.r
 CRITICISM RESENTED
 Criticism has been resented at all times by the war department. he said. but in view of the good that came from such criticism year ago good may come out Of It again. One result year ago he added, was the promotion of effici- ent officers and the shaa yfhG of those who were inefficient.
 Now that the armistice has lifted the veil of secrecy, said the senator. Eve know that every charge made by the committee lwas absolutely true, "
