WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. IL.
Secretary of War Baker today
sat under the fire of senate mill
tary probers criticis!ng him for his
rosy review" of the supplies sit
uation submitted yesterday.
Senators Wadsworth, Chamber
lain, Mcclellan and Weeks Joined
in assaults upon Bakers declara-
ton that the initial rush needs of
the army have been fully met.
You have created the impress
sion turnout the country that ev-
evrything is rosy, conditions are
fine and that there is no need for
further haste" said Wadsworth.
Great Crisis Coming.
"The facts are," he added, that
we are approaching one of the
greatest crisis in our history. Our
task in the next eight months will
be bigger than in the past. 1t Will
be unwise, in my Judgment, to
create a false impression OF Sc
curity in the country
In the face of ins!stent efforts
to make him acknowledge that ne
had overdrawn the picture of pre-
paredness, Baker stoutly maintain
ed that his statment was correct.
Our initial rush needs have
been met" he said. Every man
in France has full equipment.
There is plenty of artillery there.
Production is going forward at a
rapid rate"
Il don't know how you can say
that in view Of the lack of the
rifles, artillery and machine guns
at cantonments," said Senator
Chamberlain.
Not Enough; Some.
"My mind was not on the situa-
tion in this country. | was think
ing of our troops abroad said
Baker.
Senator Mcclellan said he was
told today by an officer from Camp
Upton, New York, that there is no
artillery there.
There is not enough, but there
is some," Baker replied.
"If the ordnance department
had rushed the work to capacity
ever since April, 1t would not have
been possible to supply enough ar
tillery and ammunition by this
time for all of our needs" Baker
added.
False Belief.
1.-The reason called attention to
you statement is that it creates
false belief that there Is no short
age" said Wadsworth.
THAT Is true, there is none"
insisted Baker.
Il must differ with you on
that" said Wadsworth.
81 repeat that the men abroad
are fully equipped with their in
itial needs" went on Baker.
ut would, of course, be pleas
ing IL we had enough artillery,
machine guns and ammunition
fully to equip all the training
camps. But we will never have
all we need. When we supply
present needs, we'll have to, con-
tinue, for well need more"
As to Aid in France.
Senator Chamberlain inquired
whether Bakers feeling OF secur-
ity regarding the artillery situa-
tion was justified in view OF the
Italian debacle and Russ'a's de-
lection.
R"won't France have to supply
Italy with ordnance?" asked
Chamberlain. And what will hap
pen to us II she does?"
Eve not been advised that
France will be in the least unable
to do for us. what she has agreed
to do and f. eager to do" said
Baker.
II think common sense would
tell you there is danger there"
said Chamberlain.
Baker Confident.

will be fully supplied With artil-
lery, ammunition and other
needs"

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan.
11.--Germany will not agree
now to more than the first
four or five of President
Wilson's ID peace terms.
Authorities were convinced of
this today in the light of prelimi-
nary Teuton press comment on
his speech to congress. But they
doubted that Germany would
dare to ignore the worlds chal-
lenge to state her aims.
Officials gathered real hope
from the Russian problem, how
ever, in the light of United Press
reports of Trotsky's declaration
that Russia will fight on rather
than accept an imperialistic
peace.
While Russian war preparations
are not regarded as sufficient to
make marked military effect, they
could have the vital effect of
stopping Germany from convert
ing Russia into a supply house.

FOUR CARS INJURED IN TWO COLLISIONS
 UPON COUNTRY WAYS

Two automobile collisions, in which all four cars were either badly dam aged or completely wrecked, but which resulted in no fatal injuries, occurred on county roads near the city last night.
 The most serious collision was that between car driven by L. B. Rags dale and an Egypt stage driven by Jack Kinney at the old cross-cut canal on the Tempe road. The stage con tained a number of passengers and in the passenger car with MT. Ragsdale were members of his family. All occupants were thrown to the ground and a small daughter and small son of MT. Ragsdale sustained injuries about the body, which. according to the sheriffs office report, were only slight. Aside from a shaking up and considerable fright all other occupants escaped with only damage to wearing apparel.
 Deputy Sheriff Harry De Winton, who went to the scene and reported upon the collision, said that the Rags dale car and the stage came together at. dangerous point in the road, where one road turned off from the highway; that there is a cluster of mesquites at the junction and that the approaching vehicles, according to the drivers of them, came together before either had time to stop or turn out; that the road is such, concealed by the mesquites, that one car was practically upon the other before the drivers knew it.
 Both cars were completely wrecked z The injuries to the two children were such that they were taken home by their father. no physician being sum- moned at the time. The place where the collision accured is considered one of the most dangerous places on the Tempe road, according to the sheriff s office.
 The other automobile collision oc- cured some distance south of the river on the Center road. An automobile driven by Roy Cameron and an auto- mobile driven by Mrs. J. T. Duncan came together. The occupants were thrown out but nobody was injured Cameron's clothing was torn in sev- eral places. Both cars were damaged the amount being estimated at $10( by Cameron, who agreed to pay fol the repairs necessary on Mrs. Duncan'i car. Harry DeWinton reported the collision for the sheriffs office, and witnessed the verbal agreement Cam eron made with Mrs. Duncan.

WORD IF PRESIDENT FORCEFULLY GIVEN
 BY ARIZONA SPEAKER

Hon. George J. Stoneman made very effective presentation of the message of the president to citizens of foreign extraction, a message which had been sent to be delivered through the Arizona state council of defense. The message as read by MT. Stoneman was as follows:
 To our citizens of foreign extraction
 l have read with great sympathy the petition addressed to me by your representative bodies regarding your proposed celebration of Independence day and 1 wish to convey to you in reply, my heartfelt appreciation for its expressions of loyalty and good will. Nothing in this war has been more gratifying than the manner in winch our foreign born, fellow citi- zenS, and the sons and daughters of the foreign born, have risen to this greatest of all national emergencies. You have shown where you stand not only by your frequent professions of loyalty to the cause for which we fight, but by your eager response to calls for patriotic service, including the supreme service of offering life itself in battle for justice, freedom and democracy. Before such devotion as you have shown, all distinctions of race vanish; and we feel ourselves citizens in republic of free spirits
 l therefore take pleasure in calling your petition, with my hearty com mendation, to the attention of all my fellow countrymen, and I ask that they unite with you in making the Independence day of this year the year when all the principles toswhich we stand pledged are on trial, the most significant in our national his tory.
 As July 4, 1776 was the dawn ot democracy for this nation, let us or July 4, 1918, celebrate the birth of 2 new and greater spirit of democracy by whose influence we hope anC believe, what the signers of the Dec laration of Independence dreamed O. for themselves and their fellow countrymen shall be fulfilled for al mankind
 l have asked the committee or public information to cooperate witt you in any arrangements you may wish to make for this celebration.

 From his name you might suspect Adam Pietz, veteran engraver of Teu- tonic affiliations. But mention any such suspicion to him and he will put his hand in his pocket and draw out a medal of his own design, made for the purpose of bringing good luck and vic tory to America and her allies.
 Pietz calls it his loyalty medal" and he has cast some 600 of them to ward off Teutonic demons and propa- gandists. For there may be those in the city who have not known the en- graver's loyalty through 25 years, who may not be acquainted with his recent Liberty bond and war savings stamps subscriptions.
