The resolution went over untfl Monday, with leaders of both factions rredictinr thnt amendments would he agreed upon which would permit the committee to proceed with it's inquiry into army aviation without disregard in- the President's wishes.

Greet Writes Apology To Congress For Lndiscreet
 Expressions in Speech

Washington, May +. = George Creel, chairman of the committee on public today apologized to Con- gress for his much-discussed recent New York speech, in which he was quoted as having said that as he disliked stunning, he would not expore the hearts of Congressmen.
 q admit the indiscretion, and regret it deeply MT. Greet wrote to Chairman Pou of the rules committee, considering resolutions on the incident
 CREEL's LETTER
 Mir Creels letter, which probably closes the incident in full is as fol- lows:
 "Mr Dear MT. Pou: While the rules committee has not indicated any course of action with respect to the resolution of MT. Treadway, (which called for investigation I cannot per- nit myself to remain under the inn
 putation of having passed public and
 insulting criticism upon the Congress of the United States My estimate of your honorable body is expressed in pamphlet issued by the committee on public information in October 1917, under the title First Session of the War Congress- 50 remarkable did the record of achievement appear to me that had it summarized for general distribution, and in the signed preface I tried to bear testimony to the courage and patriotism of the men behind the rec ord.
 Even were the case that I am so committed by the frank and uncom- pelled expression of an honest con- viction, I beg you to believe that l am
 not so lost to the proprieties as to indulge in attacks upon the legisla- tive branch while I am myself in the service of the government. At a time like this, l would take shame to myself if I attempted to weaken in any degre the public confi- dence in any public body, much less l the great legislative body of our na- ! tion

Changes in specifications, coal and ma terial shortage and lack of machinery, were among causes of delay. Some army contracts, it was said, still are three to four months behind but production has been accelerated.
 ''The first eight-inch Howitzers were delivered this week. Senator Hitchcock said. "A considerable number of three inch guns have already been delivered, and the 9.2-inch Howitzers are in an advanced state of manufacture. A large number of 91a-inch Howitzers are already in course of manufacture, but we will not be able to get deliveries of these until contracts now being com pleted is, out of the way.
 During the present year we will be compelled to depend very largely, as we have heretofore, on the French for our

small field guns, and upon Great Britain for our large field guns We have thou sands of cannon ordered and worN on many of them is under way, but we can not expect any considerable deliveries until near the end of the year.
 'The committee comes back to Wash ington convinced that work at the pres ent time is being carried on satisfactor- fly. I cannot give the number of can non that have been ordered nor the num- Der that have been completed, because that information cannot be properly given out. I do feel free to say, however, that the delays which have been exasperating and distressing in the past have been largely overcome and the work is now progressing on cannon of all sizes sat
 sfactorily.
 Because of the long time required in making cannon we must now be laying out an artillery programme for the year 19l9 We should not again make the mistake of delay in placing orders.'

man staff does not underrate them. 1T the German staff had not taken the American army seriously, it is doubtful whether they would hazard their whole future on the dangerous expedient of a sprig offensive this year.
 MUST BUY EXPERIENCE
 "The Americans will have to buy their experience. but Americans are good busi- ness men and can be depended on to buy in the cheapest market and sell at the dearest price. The British staff is confi- good and that the American nation will never let go until the end.
 ALLIES CONTROL AIR
 "The air fighting during the past week has been heavily in the allies favor. Be- tween the 9th and the 18th we downed q enemy planes to 19 of our own miss ing. This shows a situation infinitely better than F months ago.
 'aThe allies aerial success has been a large factor in bringing the first stage of the German offensive to a standstill.
 'The situation on the west front to- day is much as it has been before. The German command, finding that the mo- mentum of the first rush has been ex- pended has tried smaller attacks but finds that they do not pay. Our experi- ences in the past have been similar. It is clear that an initial success is the cheapest and that the further one goes without pause the more costly attacks be come until the ratio of loss to profit be- comes prohibitive.
 But the more time they take in prep aration the more time we have for de- fensive plans.
 STRAIN ON ENEMY
 Tn the meanwhile, there is great strain and wastage to the German troops in the line from shell fire, gas and other causes The longer the enemy waits the better becomes our defenses and the more per feet our cMlnter plans
 ..Regarding the war situation as 2 whole we urge the importance of the public retaining the proper sense of pro portion. We have got long row to hot and for the whole summer the situation must continue to be an anxious one: l ! is not the loss of this or that ridge ol | position which counts, but the effect o l the operations as whole and the prob | lem of the replacement of man power. IT the long run man power will be the vita factor"

Washington, May 17.-Afmost mu- tiny, broke out among the 2200 interned Germans at Hot Springs, N. C., when they learned of the governments plan to move them before July to army posts at Forts Oglethorpe and McPherson, Ga. It was necessary to increase the guards to preesrve order.

 "Ilease let me take this opportuni- ty to assure you of my willingness at all times to coordinate the work of this committee with the wish and thought of Congress.
 What we have done and are doing is always open to the inspection of the individual or committee and I can not but feel that our task here would be wisely strengthened by more inti- mate contact and cooperation.

of all the holier and more priceless things of life.
Innocent babies, whose lisping tongues enchant

still the awful reign of ruin and death goes on.
And why all this suffering?
Why these murdered men, women and children?

Why the bones of the babies and mothers bleach

Why?
Because Germany through the years has been
