SCREAMING

fort to Prevent CurtaiI-

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2o.-Congress is
screaming because it's pet publication

circulation cut by the print paper short

Senators Penrose, Smoot and CALM

through $50 worth of record print paper
against the order which forbids send
ing the Record outside the District OF
Columbia
They want departmental publications

Il could choke the aisles with such
publications." Smoot declared.
Senator Reed complained of huge
sums devoted TO newly-created war pub
licity bureaus.
For instance. $1,000 a day for the
CreeI bureau said Smoot.
Penrose said the department of pub
licity ais rapidly approaching national
scandal" He also spoke of the ire

.PIQUE OF M|LITARISTS
BRINGS GERMAN DRIVE
TeutonS Are Again Invading
Russia to "Save Their
Faces" at Home

NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-The precarious
conditions of the prestige of the Ger
man militarists because of the failure
of the Brest-Litovsk peace negotiations
is primarily responsible for the Teuton
advance in the Russian Baltic prov
inces
Won IIindenburg had been out-ma-
neuvered automatically by the Bolshe-
Wiki into a position where he must take
some kind of action. Hence he has de-
cided to remove the Riga flank of his
Russian front further northward. There
is no military advantage to Germany in
that operation. The advance could
have been undertaken at any time with
in the past twelve months with the
same chances of success.
Won Hindenburg had previously de-
clined to engage in the adventure be-
cause of it's disadvantages. The move
ment will lengthen the German front,
and by that much will require more
men for it's protection, thus weakening
the aggregate number of German troops
for use in the main war area against
America, France and Great Britain.
The kaiser's militarists may believe if
they capture Petrograd, the Bolshe-
Wiki will be overthrow and a peace-at-
any-price government will be establish
ed in Russia.
This may be the real ultimate Obiec-
tive of the present Baltic movement.
The Won Hindenburg diplomats, how
ever, badly misjudged the Russian tenn
per at Brest-Litovsk and are capable of
doing so again.
The German movement in south Rus
STA for the relief of Ukraine has moth
ing to do with Baltic operations. 1t is
an effort to give to the German author
tiles control over the Ukraine food
lands, now made difficult because of the
Bolsheviki victories over the Ukrain-
ian armies. The Bolsheviki are fighting
in Ukraine for the Cause of the allies,
despite the Bolsheviki protests against
the allies war aims.
The Russian situation is undergoing
rapid and perhaps vital changes. The
spirit of combativeness shown by the
Bolsheviki in Ukraine may well appear
next against the Germans in the Baltic
provinces. Stranger things have hap.
pened in the war than the creation of
new undertaking between the western
democracies and the Bolsheviki. Events
may we'll come to that before the war
ends.

]. S. BATTLE PLANES ON
WAY TO WESTERN FRONT
First Amerlcan-Made War
ships of Air of Latest and
Best Construction

WASHINGTON. Feb. 21.-The first
Amevtcan-built battle planes are en-
route TO France. nearly five months
ahead of the original schedule.
In making this announcement last
night, Secretary Baker said the first
shipment, although in itself not a large
one. marks the final overcoming of
many difficulties met in building u
this new and intricate industry"
These planes" Mr.. Baker said, ARE
equipped with the first Liberty motors
from machine production. One of them
in a recent test surpassed all records
for speed and climbing for planes of
that type. Engine production, which
began a month ago, is now on a guam
tity basis and the peak of production
will be reached in a few weeks. Only
the twelve-cylinder type is being made,
as developments abroad have made Il
wise to concentrate on the high-pow-
cred engine instead of the eight-cylin-
der"
Optimistic as these statements ap-
pear, the secretary said they should not
be exaggerated and should be consider
ed in the light of these facts:
That after three years of warcfare
the total number of planes able to take
the air at any one time on either side
of the western front has not been more
than $500.
That forty-six men are required on
the ground for every plane in the air,
making total Of $4,000 men needed for
the present maximum of $500 planes.
That fo every plane in the air there
must be two replacement planes on the
ground and one training plane for every
pilot who eventually reaches the front,
with spare engines for each plane.
After reviewing the many obstacles
that had to be overcome in getting
the aircraft production program under
way, Mr.. Baker said the great problem
now remaining is to secure the thou
sands of skilled mechanics, enginemen,
motor repairmen, wood and metal work
ers. etc, needed to keep the planes n
perfect condition and without which the
machines turned out soon would be use
less and the flyers helpless.
"A. best" said the secretary, the
life of a plane is but two months and
the engine must be overhauled aftec
seventy-five hours. while a pilot on a
plane allowed to leave the hangers in
imperfect condition is as helpless as a
bird with a broken wing.
Now the American battle planes are
going overseas, a great increase in the
volunteering of skilled mechanics is
both essential and expected"
During the past months, Mr.. Baker
said. a responsive channel of commu-
nication with the allies has been opened,
the latest types of foreign machines
have been adapted to American manu-
facture, the industry increased at least
twenty-fold, the training plane problem
solved and the production of battle
planes begun.
American battle planes were not due
in France under the original schedule
until July.

usually high. After the estimates were
submitted, however, lower bids were re-
ceived and it was decided to include that
work in this years bill.

BAKER PRAISES CAMPS
VISITED IN GEORGIA
Says Health and Living Con-
ditionS Are Good and
Improving

WASHINGTON. Feb. 20-Secretary
Baker issued a statement late today on
his return from inspecting army camps
at Atlanta, Macon and Augusta, saying
that he found health and living condi-
lions az the camps satisfactory with
disease and sick rates seadily declining,
'"The general health of all three camps
was excellent" said Secretary Bakers
statement, land at Camp Wheeler, where
the worst sickness had occurred, the i'm
provement was marked and steady"
In each camp the clophing equipment
was found adequate and the food excel
lent and abundant. Rifle equipment was
complete and machine guns of various
types were in actual service.
AT each camp Secretary Baker said he
found artillery regiments with field ar
tillery and ammunition and artillery
ranges in use. There still remains some
shortage of harness and minor articles
of equipment which are rapidly being
supplied.
Bakers Statement
Secretary Bakers statement follows:
The secretary of war and the sur
geon general returned to Washington
today from a visit to three of the south
Colonel Furbush and Major Welch, Of
the medical corps. The visit included
trips to Camp Gordon. at Atlanta; Camp
Wheeler at Macon, and Camp Hancock.
at Augusta, Ga. The chief purpose of
the trip was a thorough inspection of
hospital and sanitary conditions; Incl
dentally, however, a general inspection
of each encampment was undertaken"
The secretary of war authorized the fol-
lowing statement:
THE disease and sick rates at each
camp were found to be steadily declin-
ing. At each camp an adequate number
of trained nurses was found and the
hospitals were well cared for and sup
piled and in the hands of capable medi-
cal and surgical stats. The general
health of all three camps was excellent
and at Wheeler where the worst sick
ness had occurred, the improvement was
marked and steady.
THE early difficulties due to crowd
ing have been entirely overcome and
none of the hospitals visited was being
used to full capacity. In very few wards
were all the beds occupied.
The operating rooms at all hospitals
are now thoroughly equipped and the
water and sewerage systems have been
completed in two and almost completed
in the third camp. In all of the camps
the men were very actively engaged in
training, having constructed elaborate
trench systems and being occupied with
drills and exercises included in the pre-
scribed courses.
"In each of the camps the clothing
was found adequate. The food was ex-
cellent and abundant. Equipment of ri
les was complete and at each camp a
number of machine guns of various
types are in actual service on the ma,
chine gun target ranges. At each camp
are artillery regiments with field ar
tillery and ammunition and artillery
ranges in use.
There remains some shortage of har-
ness and minor articles of equipment
which are being rapidly supplied. Full
compliments of machine guns are not
yet on hand, nor of artillery, but enough
of each to permit continual practice"
