SENATOR'S SHARPLY
 CRITICIZE BAKER
Complain That War Secretary is Vague and Indefinite in Re- plies-Cabinet Members Op- pOce Munitions Department.

Washington, Jan. 12.-Secretary Baker, during another vigorous cross examination before the Senate Inves- tlgatlng committee today, voiced strong opposition to the creation of a department of munitions and was further criticised by the senators for broad, general statements regarding adequacy of army equipment, which Chairman Chamberlain said would "lull the country into feeling of security"
 MT. Bakers opposition to a muni- tions department followed that ex- pressed to House leaders yesterday by President Wilson. It was based, the secretary said, upon the fact that the recent organization of the war de- partment will meet all requirements and give better efficiency and that the position of minister of munitions would impose an Impossible task"
 While senators strongly criticise the reorganization of the department. as detailed by the secretary, thus presaging a possible conflict later at the capitol over legislation the com mittee intends to introduce, it was de- cided to further investigate the oper- ation of the department under the re- organization plan before interrupt ing the inquiry to champion Senator Chamberlain bill for a minister of munitions and other measures.
 Secretary Bakers examination on ordnance and supplies was ended late today in executive session and it was announced that next week the com mittee would call members of the Council for National Defense, the War Industries Boards and other govern ment agencies for examination as to their opinion of the necessity for a munitions department.
 Chairman Chamberlain and Senators McKellar, Hitchcock, Wadsworth, Weeks and New were among those who disagreed with the secretary re- garding the adequacy of the reor- ganization of the war department but they admitted it was an improve ment over the old system. Senators Beckham and Kirby expressed satis- faction with the new plan.

PEACE CONFERENCE
 SESSIONS RE0PENED
Russians Give Up Demand For Transfer to StOckhOlm-TrOt- sky Did Not Want to Give Any Excuse for Breaking.

New York, Jan. 12-Yielding to German insistence, Russia has with drawn her demand for the transfer of the negotiations with the central pow CTS to Stockholm and is proceeding with separate peace discussions at Brest-Litovsk
 The Russian compliance was on the ground that the quadruple alliance would thereby be deprived of "pre- text for breaking off peace negotia- tions on technical grounds" accord ing to Leon Trotsky, the Bolsheviki foreign minister. The Russians did not wish to leave any possibility for peace unutilized, he said.
 Trotsky repeated that peace was a cardinal principle with the Bolshe- wiki and he said they would continue to press for it, despite the refusal of the entente powers to poin in the ne- gotiations. While the central pow CTS had withdrawn their mo annexa- tions and no indemnities" declaration of December 25. as basis for peace because the entente powers had not agreed to participate in the parleys, the Russians, Trotsky said, adhered to the principles of a democratic peace as they had already set them forth.
 After the Russian position has been thus voiced the conferees ap- parently got down quickly the busi- ness. They left the question of separ- ate representation for the Ukraine in the conference for decision and plenary session after the delegates of the central powers had talked it over among themselves. They then arranged for the German, Austro- Hungarian and Russian delegations to get together for private discussions. ihOoO 'llice SelS ol uSleSdleS Specully organzed themselves into a commit tee for the discussion of political and territorial questions and went into session for this purpose.
 The Ukranian spokesman at the conference gave notice that any peace settlement that might be reached would be binding on the Ukraine only if accepted by it and declared the same principle applied to the other Russian republics"

 SOLDIERS AT CAMP PIKE

Little Rock, Jan. 14.-When the drafted army began to report there was feeling between the men who composed the former National Guard and the National Army. The National Guard men resented any showing of equality on the part of the National Army man because he was drafted in- stead of volunteering. The National Army man replied that the majority of the National Guard went into the organization not dreaming of war and wer caught against their will. The regular considered both in the light of rockies, and so far as the fighting machine was concerned, looked upon both as impossible, and never would be as capable as the regulars. Now all have changed their opinions and march shoulder to shoulder, all Amer jeans and all men.
 The change began when the com panies of the armies were increased to 250 men. This necessitated the filling up of the former National Guard. It was quickly accomplished by transferring from the National army men from the same states to the former Guard organizations. The original member soon discovered that the drafted man was human, and more than likely, an extremely good fellow. The regulars were called into the National Army in great numbers as non-commissioned officers and drill masters. The pay was increased and they were given advancement. This started things among the regulars, for all wanted to get into the Nation al army. They are probably the most contented men at Camp Pike, which is saying considerable. They become regular dudes on their in- creased pay. They purchase tailored suits, even though the government supplies them with suitable garments, or which were suitable before they became top sergeants They also pur- chase silk hat cords, getting those that are as fine as worn by generals, and their general elegants, as well as bearing bring them many a salute from rockies who have not yet learned to distinguish between the hat cords.

 I'm Dr. Puff Stuff. and I want to say by way of introducing my self, that 1 was converted to Christianity during the late em- bassy of Lord McOrty. left that country and came to this one, which maybe reconed the great blessings that ever happened to America, as 1 am considered a complete Library of universal knowledge. 1 am now very closely connected with the Plea yune, which should be very for tunate for that paper. I expect to be visited very recently by the leading physicians of this coun- try, an opportunity that none of them should hesitate to avail themselves of. The very first thing that struck me as needing my attention after my connec- tion with thls paper, is that each community is continually stating in their news that health is good "a fact we have known since the first man underwent sick ness. The amount of filthy lucre paid to doctors for health is an evidence of that fact. If the continual stating that health is good, is meant for an advertise ment, then 1 demand that the doctors give me a guarantee of good health covering a period of about two generations for the space they used to advertise good health in the paper of which l am assistant editor. The Honorable Mary Ann who gives us pen picture of the knowledge flowing from the Majesti Goose's Ankle, who states in last weeks oicayune that since Irish pota- toes are three dollars a bushel md food is so scarce that we should all plant a sack. can't see that the planting of a sack would help the food supply, but we might plant the sack and if it proves prolific, then we will add to the slogan (buy a stamp to make it read thus, buy stamp. but if you can't, then plant a sack.
 News is very scarce in our community owing to the fact it IS considered a luxury at present and the heavy embargo on such commodities is out of our reach. We have a few pieces of home. spun news however that wa were able to pick while our neighbors were at church.
