Senate Message on Siberia

sumo the operation of the Russian railway
service corps In this connection it Is
to be recalled that Mr.. John F. Stevens,
in response to request of the provisional
government of Russia, went to Russia
in the spring of 1917 few months later
he was made official adviser to the minis
ter of ways of communication at Petro-
grad under the provisional government.
AT the request of the provisional gov
eminent and with the support of Mr. John
r. Stevens, there was organized the So
called Russian railway service corps,
composed of American engineers
"As originally organized the personnel
of this corps constituted "A skeleton divi-
sion units as known in this country, the
idea being that these skeleton units would
serve as practical advisers and assistants
on IA different sections of the Siberian
railway and assist the Russians by their
knowledge of long hard problems as
known in this country, and which are the
rule and not the exception In Siberia.
Owing to the Bolshevki uprising. and
the general chaotic conditions, neither
Mr.. Stevens nor the Russian railway serv-
ice corps was able to begin work>in Sib-
eria until March, 1915.
They have been able to operate effective
~ only since the railway plan was adopt
ed in February. 1919
The most recent report from Mr..
Stevens shows that on part of the Chinese
Eastern and Trans Baikal railway he now
is running six trains day each way,
while little while ago they were only
able to run that many trains per week.

ENOUGH SUGAR in
u. s. FOR LEGITIMATE
DEMANDS, IS CLAIM
Zabriskie Declares Ample
Supply on Hand-Says
Price Should Not Ex-
coed II Cents
Nv Associated press,

New York, July 25.--The War De-
partment has sold to the United States
sugar equalization board $4,000. 900
pounds of refined sugar, it was an
nounced here today by George A. Ia
briskie, president of the board, who
declared there lis abundances" of raw
sugar in the country; that retail prices
should not exceed II cents pound,
and that there is no need of heard
ing.
Sugar is abundant in the United
States. and If it were not for profiteers
and nervous housewives encouraged to
hoard it there would be enough for
reserve supply in addition. declared
Mr. zabriskie.
The chief factor in this apparent
shortage which is temporary" he said.
has been the belated orders of big
fruit canneries and confectionery fac
normal demands and held off ordering
their sugar in the expectation that
prices would believer They knew The
refiners could not sell above the fixed
price of cents.
another element that as yet has
rine workers strike. which we hope
will be settled before the entire fleet
of sugar ships is tied up in Atlantic
and gulf ports. Meanwhile, we are
reaching by radio at sea all the yes
sells possible and diverting them to
Cuba to bring back raw sugar.
There is. however. at present no
shortage of raw sugar The difficulty
now is the capacity of the refineries.
OF the $50. 900 tons. the United States
sugar equalization board contracted
to purchase from Cuba. we had still
to receive on July no less than 1.1oc.-
600 tons. In addition to this, we have
access to 100000 more tons includ-
ing the beet sugar. which will begin
to come in about October !, and the
big cane crops of Louisiana and the IN
sular possessions of the United States.
THE situation is entirely satisfac-
tory so far as the raw material is
concerned. and I know the refiners are
doing their part. for their plants have
been operated night and day, and SOME
on Sundays. for months past. In those
parts of the country whore local short
ages exist, it is true there is an H.
clination to profiteer. but it is easy to
fix the blame for that The refiner
cannot sell sugar for more than 2 cents
a pound The wholesaler is obligatc1
to a maximum profit OF 35 cents. 81
that the retailer does not pay more
than 1885 a hundred Everybody,
therefore. should be able to buy sugar
at a maximum Of II cents a pound, and
know a chain of stores selling it to-
day for less than 10 cents"

REPUBLICANS BLOCK
EACHMENT PLAN
IN FOOD SQUABBLE
Reopening of Hearing on
Surplus Supplies Sale
Denied by Strict
Party Vote
BY Associated Press

by AssOctatoo FNosS
Washington, D. G. July 20.
Plans for the democratic mem
bers of the House war lnves-
tigating committee to attempt
impeachment of the majority
committee report censurlng
the war department for delay
ing sale of surplus foodstuffs
and asking for adoption of a
policy of immediate distri-
button were blocked today by
republican committeeman.
By strict party vote, the demo-
Gratis request for reopening of hea--
ings on the food stocks was denied
The democratic members had an
nounced they would attempt to dis
prove statements contained in the re-
port. Coincident with their failure and
the direction by the republican mem
bers that rule be asked for inm edi-
ate House consideration of the reso-
luton calling for policy of sale at
once to the consuming public, the
democrats decided to submit minor
ity report. challenging the statements
of the repu blicans.
Because of prospective argument Of
democrats that a change of policy Of
sale would result in the foodstuffs
falling in the hands of spectators, the
republican committeeman today amend
ed their resolution so as to request the
sales to be made directly to the con-
sumers by the government
Final committee action today fol-
lowed a long executive session at
which the democratic members, in ask
ing the reopening OF hearings, sub
mitted list of additional witnesses,
including Secretary Baker and other
War Department officials Voted
down, the democrats decided to in
clude statements of the suggested wit
nesses in their minority report.
Conferences had previously been
held by the democratic members,
headed by Representative Flood, vir-
ginia, with several War Department
officials. including Secretary Baker,
who denied is was his policy sto with
hold the fodstuffs from the domestic
market and to protect the interests
from which these products had been
purchased,s as charged in the majority
report.
Chairman Graham, after the commit
tee meeting, asserted that such a poi
icy existed, and that subsequent re-
ports, on other subjects, would be
made by the committee to prove the
policy's application to various COM
modities as well as food. He asserted
that "the same private control of the
government continues as was exer-
cised by the council of national de-
Tense in framing war policies
Mr.. Floods conference with War De-
partment officials today led him to
challenge the majority report in a let
ter which was concurred in by the
other democrats in asking a reopening
of hearings. The letter asserted the
reports statement that no surplus of
foodstuffs was declared for six months
was erroneous, for there had been some
sales before May. 1t also challenged
the statement that the food was per-
mitted to deteriorate during this time.

BISHOP SAYS JESUS
GREAT USER OF HALF
TRUTHS FOR EFFECT
Detroit Theologian Startles
Hearers With His Testi-
mony in Ford Tribune
Libel Suit

| Mr.. C1enjens, Mich, July S.--An expert
on theology was placed on the witness
stand today in the Henry Ford-C Chicago
Tribune libel suit as a counter balance to
Prof. Reeves of the University of Michi-
gan, who a few weeks ago testified fo-
the Tribune as an expert on political
science,
Today's witness was Bishop Charles
H. williams of Detroit, head of the East
Episcopal church, and he rather startled
his hearers by stating that Jesus Christ
was great user of half truths for
rhetorical effect
The appearance of Bishop Williams In
behalf of the plaintiffs was to show that
while Prof Reeves had found that many
of Mr.. Ford's utterances agreed in senti-
ment with the writings of well recognized
anarchists, these views were not peculiar
to anarchism, but in effect were shared
by man non-anarchists, poets such as
Tennyson, philosophers such as Cariysie.
and by the scriptures. Attorney Luckins
commended that no view of Mr.. Ford
lon pacifsm, disarmament and similar sub
iects could be said to be shared by an
archists alone.
A statement attributed to Mr.. Ford
that he would abolish the American army
and navy (which Mr. Ford as witness
greatly qualified. was read to Bishop
Williams and he was asked II 1t was
anarchistic.
Pretty strong language, but ] nave

were threatened with destruction by hos
