CHAMBERLAIN
STICKS TO Guns
Senator Insists War Policy is
a Failure.
SAYS BAKER DECEIVED NATION
President Wilson Does Not Know the
Truth. He Declares, Replying to At
tack by Executive.

Washington, Jan. 20. - Senator
Chamberlain. Democrat, Oregon,
chairman OF the military affairs com
mittee, stands by his charge that
Americas military establishment is
enmeshed in inefficiency.
In a speech in the senate, he said
President Wilson himself does not
know the truth of the situation.
The speech was made on a question
OF personal privilege. 1t was a reply
to the charge made by the president
that in speech in New York, the
senator had distorted the truth" as
to the nations preparations for war.
Senator Chamberlain reiterated the
assertions which drew the executives
fire.
He said he would show the deaths
of the hundreds and thousands OF
men at the cantonmeuts and camps
were due to the war apartment. and
that all epidemics could have been
prevented if the war department had
been effective"
The senator read letter from
President Wilson opposing the cres.
ton of minister Of munitions. He
said he did this because of the presi.
dents statement that he had net been
consulted regarding proposed legisla.
ton to be offered in congresn.
After speaking nearly three hours,
Senator Chamberlain finished with q
plea that he was doing only his dut,
in arousing the country to its danger
He said he would support the presi
dent, although grossly maligned"
The main points in Chamber!ain's
speech were as follows:
81 fear neither God man nor the
devil. when II comes to telling the
truth.
practically, no cantonment in the
country has single trench mortar
machine guns, howitzers. nor large
calibre cannon.
America stands today unprepared
as far as ordnance is concerned.
at is not question between tbs
president and myself Is a question
Of America.
1.-THE secretary of war tells us we
have nine Of these (machine) guns
adopted. Nine guns to go up against
the millions Of Germany,

thousands of deaths in the training
camps are due to ineff1ciency in the
war department
God grant every young man will
write home and tell Of conditions as
they are-not to stay patriotism, but
to stimulate 1t in the riga direction.
Germany knows more about what
America Is doing today than any one
connected with our departments
America would be better on il she
came out in the spotlight.
Senator Kirby Democrat. 1rKansas-
made reply When he had finished
the war cabinet bill of Senator Cham
berlain was referred to the military
committee on motion of Senator
Hitchcock, Democrat Nebraska.
There was no objection to this.
Because leaders desired TO prevent
further debate, the senate then ad
iourned until Monday.

If cross, feverish, sick, bilious, clean

Children love this fruit laxative, I"

stomach, liver and bowels so nicely.
A child simply will not stop play

suit is, they become tightly clogged
with waste, liver gets sluggish, stom-
ach sours, then your little one be-
comes cross, half-sick, feverish, don't
eat, sleep or act naturally, breath is
bad, system full of cold, has sore
throat, stomach-ache or diarrhoea.
Listen, Mother! See if tongue is Goa
ted, then give teaspoonful of Cali
fornia Syrup of Figs" and in few
hours all the constipated waste, sour
bile and undigested food passes out
of the system, and you have a well,
playful child again.
Millions of mothers give "Califor-
MIA Syrup of Figs" because it is per-
fectly harmless; children love it, and
it never fails to act on the stomach,
liver and bowels.
Ask your druggist for a bot
tie Of California Syrup of Figs"
which has full directions for babies,
children of all ages and for grown
ups plainly printed on the bottle. Be-
ware of counterfeits sold here. Get
the genuine, made by California Fig

NEED BIC HERDS
Euope's Meat Supply Must Come
! From America.
Warning Nations Have Depleted Live
Killing Dairy Cattle For Food

American stock breeders are being
esked to conserve their focks and
Nerds in order to meet EurOpe's ire
hendous demands for meats during
the war and probably for many years
afterward.
The United States food admins
tration reports that American stock
raisers have shown a disposition to
cooperate with the government in in
creasing the nations supply of live
stock.
Germany today is probably better
supplied with live stock than any 9th
er European nation. When the Ger
man armies made their big advance
into France and then retreated vir-
tually all the cattle in the invaded
territory - approximately 100000
head-were driven behind the German
lines.
But in England-where 100000
acres Of pasture lands have been turn
ed into grain fields-the cattle herds
are decreasing rapidly One of the
reasons apparently is the declining
maximum price scale adopted by the
English as follows: For September,
f7.7 per 100 pounds October. 81 IS:
November and December, S16.0S; JAN
larry, $14.40 The effect Of these prices
was to drive beef animals on the mar
ket as soon as possible.
In France the number Of cattle as
well as the quality have shown an
enormous decline during the war.
Where France had 14,S07 900 head of
cattle in 1913, she now has only 49,
LOO, a decrease of 1876 per cent,
And France is today producing only
one gallon of milk compared to two
and one-half gallons before the war.
Denmark and Holland have been
forced to sacrifice dairy herds for beef
because of the lack of necessary feed.
Close study of the European meat
situation has convinced the Food Adj
ministration that the future problem
Of America lies largely in the produc-
ton Of meat producing animals and
dairy products rather than in the pro
duction of cereals for export when
the war will have ceased.

regular session of study and academic
duties continues from September to
June 1, the intervening months being
spent in camp, where practical mill
