Washington, D. c., Feb. S.-Repres
entattve Glass, in a speech delivered
in the house today, came to the de
tense Of the administration, answered
the charges contained in Senator
Chamberlain's indictment Of the war
department and denied that the Am.
erican war machine has fallen down"
Mr.. Glass followed Senator Cham.
berlain's speech, point by point, and
praised the work of the administration
in each instance. He said that it was
General Jotfre who suggested supply
ing American troops with ammunition
from French factories "since it would
save; unavoidable delays, pressingly
needed cargo space, and the tremen-
dous cost Of Shipments
Machine Guns.
Regarding the machine gun contro.
versy. Mr.. Glass asserted that the
Browning gun was selected because
experts pronounced 1t the best ma:
chine gun in the world" 1.-THE only
prop on which the critics now rest
their case" he said, is the plea that
the Lewis gun was Immediately avail
able, while deliveries of Browning
guns vii be delayed. And they use
this broken reed in face Of expert tes-
timony that in tests the Lewis gun
had utterly failed with American am
munition' !"
'The American army in France has
thousands OF machine guns to go up
against the enemy" he said. 1T is as
we'll equipped with machine guns as
any army in Europe-perhaps better
equipped than the German army. And
no set Of malcontents should be per-
mitted to deceive the people into the
disturbing supposition that our fight
ing forces in France are suffering in
equipment of any kind"
Referring to difficulties which the
administration faced at the outbreak
Of the war Representative Glass
pointed out the success of the selective
draft as a remarkable achievement.
He said:
@ Million This Year
s. "Not until the third year Of the war
could Great Britain venture to apply
partially CONSUMPTION law. Not until
few months ago could Canada do it
in opposition to the rebellious threat
OF one of its largest provinces. It has
not been done as to Ireland, and Aus
tralia has twice declined to attempt
the system. And yet, this republic
with a clear realization of the situa-
ton, instantly applied the democratic
mehtod Of selective draft, and the
country responded with unparalleled
spirit of patriotism. We have sent
nearly ten times as many troops
abroad as the French and English
missions had expected that we could
do IN the time required, and we have
trained and are training an army far
beyond original estimates. This year
we will have in France more than
million men"

'In fact, every French hamlet has

sit is generally a stone shed built over
a running stream. Here the old
French widows wash the American
soldiers clothes. Soldiers are sup
posed to wash their own clothes, but

payments.

let the old French women do their
laundry. They do 1t good enough and
cheap enough, but getting back what
the soldier sent there to have washed
is another problem. The old ladies
take the socks, olive drab shirts and
underwear of half a company, souse
them all together in a creek, drag them
out, hit them with a paddle on the
wooden horses, then pile them and
tell the soldiers to come and get them.

WAR BEGAN IN APRIL, 1918
Hume War Credit Was in That Year
Voted in Germany and Supported
by Socialists.

When did the war begin? April,
1913; not August, 1914, as the press
always has it, writes Charles Edward
Russell in Harper's. The real deelara-
tion of war was made by the German
reichstag when it struck observing
Europe dumb and chill by passing. an
extraordinary war credit Of $25O,OOO,-
600. and to that act of belligerency in
a time of profound peace the socialists
in the reichstag gave practically their
support.
All men In the world accustomed TO
make upon the days news an intelli-
gent diagnosis must have gaSped and
stared at this p%ortent. Unless Ger
many deliberately planned now to
bring down upon mankind the war her
armament had silently threatened these
many years, there was no good reason
for this perilous saber rafting; GER
tainly none appeared in the state OF
Europe. Yet the socialists seemed to
be for it; that was the Incompetent
sible fact.
. August Bebel, then still active, was
the ablest and most famous of their
leaders, and criticism from many lands
seemed to goad him into a defense.
II was of a nature to chill the last
hope in any friend of peace. Two
reasons he gave for the reichstag's
action. One was that President Poin-
care of France, who had been but new
ly elected, was a warlike and danger
Gus man, and no one could tell to what
lengths he might 90. The other was
that in the Balkan wars the Turks,
taught by German officers, had been
beaten by the Serbians, taught by
French.
The judicious might grieve indeed
when they came upon such an offering
from such a source, and anybody able
to read might see that var was close
at hand.

From a Russian of high birth who
vas a lady-in-waiting to the czarina
Of Russia, are learned some particu-
lars Of the events which Immediately
preceded and followed the cars abdi-
cation which are not generally known.
The woman lost all she possessed in
the upheaval of Russia and is now
connected with the American Red
Cross. The czarina banished her
from court before the revolution be-
cause her husband, who was in the
diplomatic service, had incurred the
imperial ~displeasure.
The lady in question says that the
car and czarina were warned of their
danger some weeks Before the revOlu-
ton started. In particular did Prin-
cess Vasiltchioff, a member of the i'm
perial court, and wife of a prominent
member of the council of the empire,
warn her. The princess is a good Rus
sian patriot, and, like many others,
was appalled, at the signs of coming
anarchy.
SO much alarmed was she that she
wrote a personal letter to the c~Zarina,
telling her that if she wished to save
Russia and her own family she must
dismiss Rasputin and the Germans at
court and see that the army had am
munition.
