is done. We have been severely criti-
cized by some. We have lost some
friends. We have made some friends.
Our effort has always been to help,
never to hinder. | believe we have
been indicated"
Senator Chamberlain thus summed
up the work of the senate military
affairs committee of which he is
chairman, during the war period.
1--WE have had fearless commit
tee," he said. with less courageous
men our achievements would have
been impossible. Now that the war
is over and Investigations will be
made to criticize and not to assist, +
am glad TO relinquish the chairman
ship"
Warren Slated for Post.
Senator Chamberlain will retire as
chairman of what has been the most
important committee of congress dur
ing the last year and a half when the
Republicans come into power on March
4. He may be succeeded by Senator
Warren, father-in-law of General Per-
Shing No man in congress has been
more severely criticized than Senator
Chamberlain, although his colleagues
believe he did more to assist in win
ming the war than any other legisla-
tor
His controversy with the president
following his assertion that the gov
eminent had fallen down" in the con
duct of the war, provided number of
sensations.
Scandals growing out of the war
cannot be avoided Senator Chamber
lain said. "The public will be shown
where there has been seemingly i'm
warranted extravaganza in war expen-
ditures and will condemn those respon-
sible for 1t. without taking into ac-
count the pressing necessity for speed
in their work.

berlain said, unless you take into ac-
count the fact that the aircraft board
was compelled 70 get its materials as
quickly as possible at whatever price
it could. 1t had no ime to look
around for bargains"
From this time forward the military
affairs committee will have little to
do, Senator Chamberlain believes. The
forthcoming army bill will be of far
less interest than those enacted dur
ing the war, he said.
President Wilson has practically
all the power he needs to proceed with
demobilization,' he continued 1.-THE
various bureaus created during the war
can be consolidated with other bu-
reaus under the Overman act and
their service practically terminated"
