COUNTRY is RESPONSIBLE.
SAYS GENERAL CROZIER

Washington, Jan. Mai. Gen.
Crozier, army ordnance chief, yester-
day gave to the Senate committee in
vestigation conduct of the war, his
side of the reasons for artillery
shortage and of the celebrated cons
troversy over the new machine gun.
Responsibility for artillery short
age, the general said, lay with the
whole country and he showed how his
every effort to get larger appropria-
tions for artillery in times of peace
was overruled by the secretary of
war and by Congress. The British
and French governments, he showed
by official records, had of themselves
offered to supply Gen. Pershing's
forces with artillery, and he gave
statements from abroad to show that
the Allies were able to do it because
they had a surplus.
Gen. Crozier submitted the record
of tests of the Lewis gun, showing
that other guns performed better;
disclaimed any personal prejudice as
claimed by Col. Lewis, the inventor,
and showed that since the gun had
been perfected to use American am
munition, the war department had
bought quantities of them.
"Im not attempting to excuse the
situation that requires US to depend
on our friends for heavy artillery, ,
daid Gen. Crozier. "but the response
bility rests on the whole country
How he had. during previous years,
often asked Congress for larger ap-
preparations for artillery and that he
and other army heads had many
times called the country's attention to
the need for more artillery was re-
lated.
Gen. Crozier, citing one instance
before the war in which a modest
program" of artillery appropriations
calling for $1,200.0 900 was cut in half
by direction of the secretary of war
and then further reduced by Congress
to $4,000.

BIG HOTEL AT
NORFOLK BURNED
In the Early Hours of This Morning,
$50 Guests Had to Make a
Hasty Exit
(Associated Press1

Norfolk, Jan Fire caused by
sparks from another blaze a block
away this morning almost completely
wrecked the Monticello hotel, forcing
$50 guests who were in the house at
the time to flee for safety. All es-
capped safely.
All the upper part of the hotel, in
cluding the magnificent dining room
on the fifth floor, wa sdestroyed. The
lower floors were badly damaged BY
water. The fire was discovered at z
o'clock this morning in the roof of the
kitchen on the sixth floor.
The Monticello was built in 1898 at
a cost of million dollars.
SEVERAL MYSTERIOUS ExPLO-
SIONS
Fire, preceded by two mysterious
explosions, which early this morning
destroyed three stores on Cranky
street and almost completely wreck
ed the Monticello hotel, half block
away, early this afternoon had cross
ed the street from the hotel where
Two Dig SLOTSS were DuIucu anu az
u o'clock was raging IN the seven
story Dickson building. The entire
block appeared doomed. One fireman
was killed and six others injured
when the roof of the dining room in
the hotel fell. The mayor has called
out the home guards. Two hundred
marines from the navy yard were
also ordered out to aid the police and
firemen. The bitter cold made it
necessary for the firemen to chop the
ice from their clothing in order to
proceed with the work.

SHUTTING OFF SUPPLIES
No Longer Can Germany Obtain
American Products Thru
Neutral Nations

London, Jan. Germany is now
believed to be effectually blockaded
According to estimates made here,
she now is completely cut off from
receiving imports from other than
her allies, owing to the fact that the
prevailing shortage of foodstuffs in
neutral countries nearby have made
it necessary for them to withhold
from her any imports needed by their
own people.
Virtually nothing is now permitted
to go into Holland or the Scandinav-
ian countries from England, the
United States or any other Of the
Entente countries. These now almost
control the whole worlds exports Oh
foodstuffs, feeding stuffs and raw
materials of every kind.
This stiffening up of the Blockade
is attributed here to the policy adopt,
ed by the United States in July of
withholding its exports from neutral
countries near Germany except on
terms under which they must cease
the export even of their own produce
TO Germany. This principle was. ex>
pressed in London in the phrase: "We
will not send you wheat or fodder to
enable you to export meat and butter
to Germany. Until you agree to stop
yoar exports to Germany we will
send you nothing"

FERNANDINA HAS
THE FACILITIES
For One of the Greatest Shipyards
on the Atlantic Sea
Front

Washington, Jan. Edward Nash
Hurley, chairman of the shipping
board, has promised Congressman
Frank Clark of the Second Florida
District, that he will accompany Hen
ry Ford to Florida very soon to in
spect promising sites on the southeast
seaboard for the location of the big
shipbuilding plants which the govern
ment proposes to start at once.
Congressman Clark is arranging
for Mr.. Ford to go as soon as possi-
bic to Fernandina, at which place he
| is anxious to have the government
establish the monster shipyard. The
government officials and Chairman
Hurley have been much impressed by
the fact that the United States gov
Aernment already Owns more than half
a mile stretch along the deep water
Front.
Congressman Clark has pointed out
10 Chairman Hurley and his advisers
that there is now 80 to 35 feet of
Water over the bar at Fernandina and
that there. is a fine inside basin. He
has told them of the advantages of
So. Mary's river along which saw
mills and other shipyard adjuncts can
be located, affording ready and cheap
movement of the necessary parts and
lumber. He has called attention to
the fact that it is not three miles

SHOULD HAVE BEEN SHOT

New York; Jan. Paul Hennig, a
naturalized German. who has been
employed as foreman in Brooklyn
factory engaged in the making of
torpedoes for the United States gov
ernment, was remanded to jail with
out bail in federal court here yester-
day charged with treason.
Hennig, authorities say, superin-
tended the assembling of the gyro.
scopes which control the course of the
torpedoes. According to District At
torney. France, some of these gyro-
scopes have been found "maliciously
rnutilated" This was done in such
way as to render useless the torpe-
does in which the gyroscopes were
installed.
sNot only would these torpedoes
have been worthless as weapons, but
it is possible they would have proved
engines of destruction for their own
users. said the district attorney.

CAPTAIN PRICE WAS
NON -COMMITAL

Capt. H. Brooks Price of the med
ical department of the army was in
the city today, inspecting the sites
offered by Ocala for the intended con-
valescent hospital. He was taken
over the city and out to Silver
Springs by Mayor Chace and the
other members of the committee who
are attending to Ocala's end Of the
proposition.
Captain Price was, of course, nom
commital. About the only indication
he gave was that the army preferred
site with buildings that could be
utilized at once. This point would
seem to be against 0cala, which has
no building bigger than the ocala
House.
