BAKER MAKES OUT
 GOOD CASE FOR WAR DEPARTMENT Secretary Shows Committee That Much Has Been Accomplished RAISED AND EQUIPPED MILLION AND HALFMEN Never in History of Any
 Country Has So Much
 Been Done in So Short a Time

Washington January 10-Every phase of the war departments preparations for battle against Germany was outlined and defended by Secretary Baker today be- fore the Senate military committee. He answered those who have criticised the department during the committees in vestigation with the assertion that no army as that nov under the American flag ever had been raised. equipped or trained so quickly and that never before had such provision been made for the comfort and health of an army.
 EXHAUSTIVE STATEMENT
 The Secretary read an exhaustive pre- pared statement when he took the stand and was not interrupted until it was ccnciuded. Then questions began to fly from every side of the committee table, launching cross-examination that prob ably will continue all day tomorrow WANTED DELAY EXPLAINED Chairman Chamberlain and other com mittee men wanted to know particularly about delays in furnishing machine guns and rifles and much attention was de- l voted to the army's supply purchasing SNalefll. C had been some mistakes and delays. but declared that all fighting men in France i were adequately equipped and armed and that all sent over would be. He took fu. responsibility for delay in approv- ing machine gun. holding that the value of the Browning gun now developed was worth it. He also said the superior weapon obtained by having the British l Enfield rifle re-chambered for American ammusliticn compensated for the delay there.
 100000 UNDER ARMS
 More than 1,500,000 Americans now are i under arms, Secretary Baker said, and l an army of substantial, size already is | in France ready for active service.
 \ Members Of the committee were frank in the Iisappoval of the secret pufchas ing system ot the department. Mir I Baker, however. insisted it was essentia to guard against publicity concernins plants engaged on war work.

Washington. January IO.-The rail- road situation has improved under government operating sufficiently t0 guarantee that there will be no fur ther coal famine in any part of the country this winter. Director General NcAdoo was informed by A. H. Smith. assistant in charge of transportation on eastern lines.
 Local shortages will be inevitable under existing abnormal conditions, Mir Smith said. but indications are that no im- portant industries will be forced to shut down because of lack of fuel, and house. holders will be supplied reasonably well. He added that this applied to New York and New England. where the coal short age has been most marked in the east.

INVESTIGATION !. 7.
INTO FINANCES n
OF GERMANY :'!;|']MA
Government Agencies lnquiring
Into Ability of Teutons to Pay
r Big Indemnities

Washington. Nov. 1S-Study of Ger
many's financial situation has been
undertaken by government agencies
with view to throwing light on the
empires ability to pay huge sums in
reparation for damage to devastated
areas. Germany's war debt is now
nearly $35, 600, 100000, or more than
two-fifths of the estimated national
weautl Of $1,000, 100000. 1t is certain
the amount the allies will ask Germany
to pay will run into billions, and neces-
sarily the terms must accord with
Gernany's ability to pay. This will
depend upon Germany's powef to re-
store her industry and trade to a peace
time basis. Some claims set forward
for reparation and indemnity in allied
circles are regarded here as exorbi-
tant, as they are far beyond Germany's
power to pay, it is said here.
Comparatively small amounts Of
German war bonds are owned outside
of Germany. and perhaps the largest
sums are held by citizens Of the United
States, former German subjects. Off
tials here who have known Germany's
internal situation in the past, do not
believe Germany viii repudiate its in
ternal Indebtedness, but that taxes
viii be made SO high the citizens will
be forced to turn in their bonds in
payment.

GERMANY MUST
. SEND NOTES TO
ALLIED NATIONS

Washington, Nov. 1e-In the almost
hysterical appeals of the German pro-
'visional government for supplies of
food and permission to address itself
directly through commission to the
American public, officials here see q
purpose to excite the sympathies OF a
large element Of the American popu-
lation more or less connected by blood
ties with Germany. With such SYM
pathies aroused. the German govern
ment, it was said, undoubtedly hopes
to influence the approaching peace con-
ference toward leniency.
\ Mr.. Lansing's note, addressed to

lows: 81 ,l-r

Governor Frazier said:
After receiving advice from the

that 1t is their intention to continue
the drive for two days longer because
OF the fact that almost everywhere the

Bismarck Going Over.
Returns in Bismarck continue to
come in slowly. ommittees have
been handicapped by the flu. Mem.
,bers have been i'll, or prospective
contributors have been found suffer-
ing from the pidemic and in no con-
dition to be seen. Everyone who has
been approached has been generous
and enthusiastic over the work. 1t Is
now largely matter Of catching up
loose ends and getting cards into
the hands OF those who have not been
seen before.
The Grand Pacific committee, con-
sisting of J. Oberg and Henry Hal.
vorson, last night reported more than
5000 as it's share of the weeks work.
H. e. Loebel, captain of one Of the
Second ward committees, with small
and rather lean territory to cover,
found his people so receptive and
combed his district so thoroughly, that
his team will stand among the first
in the city in total results. DR.. w. j..
Hutcheson and Rev. II. C. Pos
tlethwaite are two other team leaders
who have achieved splendid results.
Many patriotic citizens have given up
an entire week to the work, and With
the cooperation of everyone it now
seems certain that the capital city
will make its $15.O00"Auota and will
be able to greet the boys when they
come home with the satisfaction O!
having not once failed In its duty.

PROPAGANDA
FOR HUN PEACE

Washington, Nov. 18.-The interes,
of the government agents combating
enemy propaganda at this time is not
to suppress free expression of opin.
ion, it is explained. but to fight any
concert of propaganda whose purpose
it is to create expressions for leniency
in peace terms.
Officials say during the reconstruc-
ton period there may be considerable
danger from propaganda working to
make the nations forget Germany's
course in the war.
Illustrating the attitude that the
war and its dangers are not over. 1t
is reported the government has order.
ed internment of some Germans since
the armistice was signed over week
ago.

ton reached his parents here Satur-
day evening, casting cloud over one
capital city's family's rejoicing for a
peace which was to bring two sons
safe home again. Private McGarvey's S
name had not appeared in the casual

In, October, and his family had receiv-
ed no news from the front indicating
that he was hurt. Only week ago
there was received from him letter

Private Ralph McGarvey was born
in Bismarck on April q, 1898, and he
was not yet 20 years old when he en-

patched to Jeffersan Barracks, Mo.
Thence he was. assigned to 'kellyfield

several months in the flying division
before being transferred to the engi-
neer corps. He landed in France on
June 6, 1918. with Go. D. 1o4th engi-
neers. A months break in his letters
before the receipt Of the last one, a
week ago, would indicate that he had
spent several weeks this fall at the
front.
The young soldier spent all OF his
life in Bismarck up to the time OF his
