OREGON SENATOR
RAPS WAR HEADS
IN LONG SPEECH
Chamberlain Says the Depart
ment Is a Failure in Provid-
ing Refuge For Wounded
BY Associated Press


Washington, Dec. S1.-Senator
Chamberlain, of Oregon, chairman of
the Senate Military Committee, spoke
for more than three hours yesterday
in the Senate in criticism of the War
Department. dealing particularly
with what he termed the failure to
provide adequate hospital facilities
for returned wounded soldiers and
to formulate q definite plan for de-
mobilization.
Rcitcrates New York Charges
The Senator reiterated many of
the charges he made in his address
at New York, soon after the ma
ton entered the war and in a subse-
uuent address in the Senate and said
that information that had come to
light since had justified the state
ments he had made.
Senator Chamberlain, who was
heard by crowded galleries, said the
War Department now is pursuing
with regard to hospital facilities the
same dilatory tactics 1t did in the
prosecution of the war many months
ago.
"If the War Department" he de-
clared, paid One-nalt the aJIentlOn
to preparations for receiving these
boys as they are to getting legislation
through Congress in order to protect
contractors who made contracts for
war supplies over the telephone in
violation of law, this matter would
soon be settled"
Praises British Plan
The need for n definite policy of
rehabilitation was urged by the
Senator, who said that if one were
established unrest among the men in
cantonments and overseas would
cease. He praised the British plan
for returning it's soldiers to civil life,
saying it was framed along economic
lines.
In concluding, Senator Chamber
lain paid a tribute to the American
Army in France, saying that only
once, and then by command of the
French officer in charge, had an
American unit ever given ground
before the enemy. No army in all the
history of the world, he declared, had
made such brilliant record.

Operations underway in West

finished will be an effective means
of communication between the
prospective new town and Lancaster

Marietta and Columbia are
thrilled at the prospect of the new
shops. Rumors current in railroad
circles have it that the shops will
be larger than those at Juniata and
Enola and will rival those at AL

War Revenue Bill Again
Held Up by HOue Failure

Washington, Dec. 81. Another
failure to send the war revenue bill
to conference again marked yester-
days holiday routine session of the
House. Representative Lunn, of
New York, Democrat, refused to
give the necessary unanimous con-
sent for the conference, when DEM
ocratic Leader Kitchin declined to
promise to report the Senate's sec
ond-class mail zone amendment to
the House for vote, regardless of
conference action.
The House adjourned until Thurs
day, when Mr.. Kitchin may make
another effort to obtain unanimous
consent for the conference. He
said, however, that he did not eX-
pect n quorum of the House to be
present until January 8, and doubt
ed whether the conference could be
voted until then. Mr.. Kitchin said
he doubted whether the House
would instruct its conferees to agree
to the Senate amendment, remark
ing that the postal zone system, now
applicable to second-class mail, was
adopted by a big majority of the
House, and that the new provisions
of the Senate amendment radically
changed the existing law.

Easton Pathologist Says Bacil-
lus PESTS Is Present in
Both Scourges
BY Associated Press

Easton, Pc, Dec. 31.-Announce-
ment was made here yesterday that
Dr. Adam l.. Kotz, pathologist at
the Easton Hospital, has discovered
that bacillus pestis. which is the
cause Of bubonic plague, is present
in Spanish influenza cases. tending to
prove, 1t was said, that Influenza and
the black death of the middle ages
are one and the same thing.
DR.. Kotz's discovery, 1t was said,
came only after the most exhaustive
examinations and experiments with
guinea pigs and white mice. In
every instance the experiments prov
ed themselves in the sense required
by scientists, 1t was declared.
The isolation of the bacillus, To-
cal physicians say, would mean that
fifty. per cent. of the battle against
influenza would be won, as investi-
cations would then turn toward
finding n serum by means of which
the disease could be cured.
