OF this sum from war savings
Despite the decision TO continue the
activity OF the Capital Issues Commit

BAKER BEFORE THE SENATE
 MILITARY COMMITTEE TODAY
To Answer Senator Chamberlain's
 -..-- Charges of Ineffieieney.

Washington, Jan. 2i.-Overshadow- ing every other activity at the capitol tomorrow will be the appearance of Secretary Baker before the senate military committee to answer Senator Chamberlain's charges of ineficiency and outline the war departments ac-- complishments at home and abroad.
 The secretary is prepared to reveal much that hitherto has not been em- phasized or even made public and is represented as confident of reassuring the country regarding the nations part in the war;. as well as of demonstrat- ing the absence of necessity for the senate committees proposed legisla- ton for reorganization of the war making machinery.
 Though without a prepared state ment. Mr. Baker will go before the, committee and with a mass of data bearing upon every important activity of his department. Cross examination by committee members is planned and his testimony probably will continue all day and possibly part of Tuesday. Later in the week he may make a similar statement before the house military committee and comment fur ther on army questions before the com mittee in connection with the $7,700,- coo 008 army appropriation estimates. In both senate and house this week. possibly beginning tomorrow, extended debate on war efficiency is planned. Administration leaders of both bodies are preparing addresses championing the governments record and replying to it's critics.
