testimony developed in the inquiry be-
fore the Senate commerce committee,
will have profit of S6,000,0O0 without
the investment of any capital In the
construction of the plant.
1t has charged been that great ex-
travagance and waste have been prac-
ticed at the plant, and Mr.. Nanderlip
and his associates, who have been Sc
verely criticised by witnesses before
the Senate COMMITTEES, were called upon
by Representative Alexander ito re-
store some of the money unlawfully OBJ
tanned" from the Hog Island project.

sentative Alexander in this connection.
A rumor of disagreement between

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
WAR DEPARTMENT WORK
AS VIEWED BY HITCHCOCK

Washington. Feb. 13.-After re-
viewingm, as quoted on Monday.
I the evidence heard by the Senate
committee ON military affairs, re-
specting the blunders and delays Of
I the War Department., Secretary
Hitchcock argued for the bill
! creating a director of munitions.
He said:
81 do not deny that we also found
much that was creditable and satis-
factory. The task undertaken was
huge one. and much Of the work
has been ably done. These con-
siderations lead me to hold n de-
fective organization responsible
for the shortcomings to greater
degree than any individual or group
of individuals.
''If high-class business man
were made director of munitions,
! with power TO buy all supplies
needed by the various bureaus, he
would soon bring order out Of dis
order. cut red tape, stop delays and
furnish the army with its supplies
promptly and economically. Great
Britain had to come to il. France
had to come TO il. We shall have to
come to il. No amount of hard work
can compensate for lack Of business
sense and experience
''Some of the reported blunders
almost surpass belief | am told
that the orders for army shoes so far
amount to 2l.0OO 900 pairs, and
thousands of these are too small.
| am told that one order for iron
bolts specified 325 different sizes.
and provided exactly the same num-
ber for each size, namely, 17O.6SS
in all, 100 carloads; some would
be exhausted soon. while others
would last 100 years ] am told that
some genius in the war department
succeeded in shipping to France
carload Of sawdusJ while nearly
1000, 900 tons of important freight
has been waiting for months. | am
told that three different orders were
made out for bags for gas masks
one was for 1.0O0, 900. another for
1000. 900, and third for 5000, 1000.
Fortunately, one Of the civilian COM
mitteemen outside of the depart
ment discovered the conflicting
orders, secured a revision and
stopped the blunder.
"We drafted a great many men
from the people and provided
abundant money for their clothing,
arms and equipment, but we find
that while they have twenty pairs of
shoes apiece. tens of thousands
have suffered for lack of clothing
and tens of thousands have had 10
drill with wooden guns. We say the
answer is q director Of mu nitions."

CT has known Pearl all of her life from infancy She has always been kind and loving and was lively and full of fun. It was always pleasure to be with her. She made their home so bright and cheerful. She thought there was no one like her father and mother. I have seen her with her mother attending to the household du- ties doing all she could to make the burdens of life easier for her mother, and I have seen her in the field with her father toiling and helping the best she could at hard work 70 help hIm support his loved ones, the ones she loved so dearly and have seen her when she was a mother trying to raise her darling little baby boy which died when a few days old. But Jesus saw fit in his infinite mercy to take her from this world of toll, sorrow and care, to take her away from lov- ing husband and sweet little babe of a few hours old.
 Besides her father, mother two sls- ters and brother and host of rela- tives and friends she was loved by all who knew her The Lord knew best when he called her home. She is now at rest with Jesus and her loved ones that have gone on before. She Will never know any more pain or sorrow, will never more shed any more bitter tears and she will be waiting and watching for them all to come home, and I am confident as the Lord calls them one at time that they will join her in that glory land, an unbroken family, where Jesus is and where there will be no more tears shed and parting will be no more.
 Blessed be the name of the Lord.

dale where he lived until the end.
 Mr. Harvey was we'll known in the community and his quiet manner of life, his honest dealing with his fel- low man. his love for the good things in life made for him a large circle of friends in this community.
 Mr. Harvey was strong man dur ing the most of his life. He was not known to have any serious sickness until that which resulted in his death 4 few months ago following a case of lagrippe his health appeared to be failing. Medical advice was sought but no permanent relief came of the remedies used. Medical skill was unable to stay the tide which had set in. After few months of battling with the course of nature It became evident that h. was a victim of dropsy and that the struggle was 10 be one of life and death. At times there seemed to be a slight inpr, vement but the improvement was e1iy Seem- ing and each time he went from the apparent improved condition to a worse stage of the disease. During all of the struggle he seemed cheerful and uncomplaining. He Eas not of the disposition to murmur and com plain but bore his afflictions in pa tience. When spoken to by friend as to the prospect in case of death he said 1t would be all right.
 On Thursday of last week he show ed signs of the near approach of the end. 4 series of violent paroxisms followed one after the other until 3 p. m. Friday when he quietly passed away.
