longed investigation OF the army with
its attendant bitter criticism. 1t was
pointed out today that members Of
Congress now would know first-hand
about current developments instead of
getting information months later
through the examination of witnesses

Movements for the creation of a
Joint congressional committee on the
conduct of the war have been sup
pressed by President Wilson's unal-
terable opposition to interference with
the powers and duties entrusted to
the executive by the constitution.
Through the conferences now inaug
urated. however, it is suggested that
the regular committees acting in full
harmony with the executive officials
Will be able to accomplish all and
probably more toward keeping Con-
gfess in touch with what is going on
than would have been possible under
the special committee plan.

BLONDES ARE FIDGETY
Brunette Typists Are Preferred
 by Uncle Sam.

Washington.-The blonde type writers of America have reason to fid- get from the government estimate of them. It appears that the glowing tributes heretofore bestowed upon them by the tired business man have been as inaccurate as have been the exceedingly biased estimates of the tired business mans wife.
 The blonde typewriter, though Joy to the eye, is nervous, temperamental and other than steady, so the govern ment has decided.
 When the government undertook to pay its new, growing and splendid army it was found necessary to hire a few acres of typewriters. Every avail able loft, hospital, dance hall and store in Washington was fitted out as a place in which typists might type, and so great was the volume of work that the utmost care was taken in the matter of employing help. Things had to be done accurately, quickly and con tinuously, and the types of typists were NoiioitCiCu Ut iViiStii by pciSchS yuan fled to know a star key rattler at glance.
 Well, sir, more than 5000 typists were at work before a blonde typist was accepted. Every brunette avail able had been pounding the keyboard for days before it was finally decided that the light-locked element must be admitted through force of circum- stance. There were no more brunette typewriters out of work.
 Then came the beautiful blonde spring drive. They came with blue eyes, dimples, little curls, golden Psyches. pink ears and smiles which made the grouchy experts dizzy but uncOHvinced. They knew that all this outward dazzle did not alter the fact that every blonde cherub was as nerv- ous as kitten, and that In burst of temperament might very well send a major generals pay check to an ob- scure corporal.
 But they were employed, and now each blonde in the government service sits between two brunette typists who devote themselves to the tasks of do- ing their work and steadying their golden-haired companion at the first sign of hysteria.

 7. To give the vagrants the choice of going to the chain gang or going to the farm, and probation them to work on farms under proper supervision.
 3. Follow up the prosecution of vagrants with the utmost persistence and vigor, making it certain of pun. ishinent for vagrants, that idle men will go to work voluntarily.
 Governor Dorsey believes 1t is the duty of every state to force every Idle man to work before 1t calls on the government to furlough men from mill ltary service. He believes there are thousands of men loafing in cities and towns throughout the state. He be- lfeves the sheriffs and courts will be glad to join in state wide crusade which shall not be relaxed, to put these men to work. He believes the man power thus conserved will great

Shortage of Animals Means Loss eS of Cannon and Prevents
 Rapid Advance.
47,0OO A MONTH ARE KILLED
About 80 Per Cent of Animals Wound ed Are Sent Back to the Front After Treatment in Red
 Star Hospitals.

New York.-Necessity of sending hundreds of thousands of horses to France for the American artillery units and of establishing hospitals for the treatment of wounded animals is emphasized by Dr. w. o. Stillman, president of the Red Star animal re- lief, in bulletins upon the work of the organization. He said that the Ger mans had lost many batteries of field pieces because of lack of animals to draw them to safety during allied ad- vances, while fewer guns had been lost by the British partly because they had large numbers of horses.
 4,50o,ooo Horses In Use.
 Figures compiled by the society show that there are 4,50O000 in use by all the armies in the war, and that the losses on the western front alone have averaged 47,OOO month. In a three-mile front at Verdun the French lost more than 5000 horses. About l. 100000 of the horses were bought by the allies in America and were trans ported with large losses. About 33,0O0 died on this side after they had been purchased and were awaiting ship ment to Europe and 6.OOO died in the ships. The value of the horses ship ped to Europe last year was more than $50,O0O,0OO and the loss for a heavy month of fighting Is about S1.5O0, 900.
 There are about 22.OOO,OO0 horses In America, and the estimates are that an
