Washington Jan. ga chart
based on reports from all army camps
and showing only minor clothing
shortages existing January 10 was sent
by Secretary Baker to the senate mill
itary committee today soon after
Chairman Chamberlain made his
speech in the senate replying to Presi-
dent Wilson's denunciation of his
criticism of the war department. In
his speech Senator Chamberlain re-
ferred to a chart of conditions on
January / recording many deficien-
cies which the latter reports show no
longer exist.
No Further Statement.
Secretary Baker said no further
statement would be issued in answer
to Senator Chamberlain's charges, re-
marking the war department is in
the unfortunate position Of being un-
able to speak about certain things"

He did comment, however on several
features of the speech.
In connection with letter read by
Senator Chamberlain telling Of the
death of a soldier under narrowing
circumstances at one of the camps
he said several similar eases had been
called to his attention and that every
precaution possible to prevent recur-
rences had been taken.
Camp Selections.
AS to the assertion that the sur
geon general was not consulted in the
selection of camp sites, Mr.. Baker
said every site had been selected by
board consisting of one medical Of
ficer one engineer officer and one
line officer, appointed by the depart
mental commanders.
In only one case was the suitability
of the site questioned on sanitary
grounds, he added.

Praise or Blame.
TIMES TOO GRAVE FOR
PLAYING POLITICS

Round Robin Was Issued
in Cuba,

Washington, Jan. 24.-Theodore
Roosevelt today in a speech before
the National Press club asserted his
right to criticize the conduct of the
war and declared II to be every mans
duty to expose inefficiency If it re-
tards the work of the war making ma
chinery.
In answer to an attack made on
him recently in the senate by Senator
Stone, he said the speech was an in
sidious effort in behalf of Germany,
and that the Missouri senator, who
had done all he could to serve Ger
many in opposing war legislation, had
been. the first to inject partisan poll
tics into the war.
Colonel Roosevelt came out in open
support of Senator Chamberlain $
proposals for war cabinet and a
munitions department..
Stands by Chamberlain.
'The proposal" he said, means
that at least a proper scheme of ad-
ministration will be adopted by the
government. / am well aware that
no scheme can accomplish anything
unless the right men are put in
but at least we will get proper
scheme of administration. In Wash
ington you have good many star
players, but mighty little teamwork =
While the speech contained little
criticizm of individuals, the colonel
spoke of the "maladministration" of
the war department in warmly prais-
ing the work of the senate committee.
AS to the worth of investigations, he
said it was the duty of congress to
get at the truth and he quoted from
the writings of President Wilson
when at Princeton, advocating con-
gressional inquiry into the acts of the
administration.
Declaring the present is no time for
politics, Colonel Roosevelt said;
Decries Politics.
mo public servant and no private
citizen in his public relation at this
time has any business to- consider
partisan politics in any way
He said he criticized the conduct of
the Spanish war and that his action
then showed he believed himself to
be performing his duty now. 1t was
never more necessary than now, he
said, to tell the people the truth.
IF conditions are good said he,
tell the truth. If they are bad, tell
the truth. If they have been bad and
have become good tell the truth"
The navy department, the colonel
added, inefficient six months ago, is
now doing excellent work. The work
of shipbiulding, he declared, now is
in excellent hands. For the co-ordi-
nation of shipping operations he rec
commended the appointment of one
man to be put in supreme charge OF
the operation of all vessels.
Colonel Roosevelt called for cons

NEW DETECTOR FOR
 SUBMARINES HAS
 MET ALL THE TESTS
Understood That France and England Have Adopt ed the American
 Device
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, February 12.-(SpeciaL) A submarine ''detector" has been in vented, tested, proved available. and at taehed to every naval craft in the service of the United States.
 IL was because of ti..:;s fact that Sec retary Daniels sometime ago announced with obvious enthusiasm that the sub marine peril would be reduced to min- imum Unfortunately, immediately after that announcement submersibie destroyed the Tuscania with loss oi American life. However. the Secretary, undismayed, declared that American troops would continue to go as fast as they could be mobilized.
 Regarding the ''detector.' very little in detail is known. It was not invented by Thomas A. Edison. Another interesting fact in connection is the understanding that it's use will be authorized by all allied nations.
 Some months ago the "detector' was invented. It was submitted to the Secre- tary just as countless other inventions are submitted. In ari probability, the Secretary smiled when the inventor be- spoke it's merits. But the governme nit has shown a disposition to test every

BURNETT DIETING
 STATE DEPARTMENT |0N ALIEN MEASURE
Notwithstanding Request From Lansing, Bill Be De- layed, Alabamian
 Forges Ahead
nx HUGH W. ROBERTS

Washington, February 12.-(Spe- ciaI.)-Despite the opposition of Sec retary Lansing, Representative Bur- nett predicted tonight the passage through the House tomorrow of his alien stacker hill.
 It is a measure requiring natives oi countries allied with the United States either to enlist in the American army or suffer deportation to be followed by service in the armies of their respective countries.
 BURNETTsS STATEMENT
 The state department opposes the bill although it favors the idea involved II is the contention of the department that its passage would effect diplomatic nego- tiations presently under way having for their object the same object to be at ton.
 ''The state department. said Mfr. Bur- nett, ''has been negotiating to this end since last summer, and the indications are that the negotiations twill be in- definitely extended. Very soon. early in the spring, at any rate. the draft call will be issued. American boys will De inducted into service while slackers of British. French. Greek, Italian and Rus sian decent will rear back on theu rights exclaiming, Me no fight; me stay behind and get the jobs'
 ''Following the first draft, thousands and thousands of these able bodied slackers disinclined to enter the service of their own countries and protected from forced service in America, stepped into positions yielded by our boys de- stined to suffer the hardships of the trenches and possible death in defense of the Stars and Stripes
 Because of this fact, the immigration committee was flooded with petitions 70 rectify the obvious evil. I undertook the matter with the Secretary of State and was urged to desist from attempting legislation until diplomatic negotiations could be completed. I desisted and con tinued to desst. Last fall I informed the Secretary that unless something was accomplished in the near future I would ask the committed to prepare the neces- sary bill. Nothing was accomplished, so the bill was prepared. The committee passed it and 1t is now before the House. I expect its enactment by the House to- morrow.
 There is no question but that these foreign slaciers should be made to serve in either the army of their native or their adopted country When we give these alien pacifists fat jobs yielded by
