AT WAR CHIEF
Says Baker Made Mess in
Providing Munitions
of War.

Bitter opposition on the part OF the
Republicans to the proposal to en-
power the Secretary of War to ad-
tust the claims growing out OF in
formal war contracts held TO be H.
legal by the Comptroller of the Treas
ury. marked the debate in the House
yesterday on the Dent bill TO validate
these contracts.
Little objection was made to the
general proposition that the claims
should be settled. The ire of the
Republicans was aroused by what
they considered an attempt to have
the mistakes rectified by the persons
guilty of making them.

principle before the President returns
to Washington.
What has been accomplished is this
The President of the United States
met not only the leaders of the three
great governments. but he sounded
the opinion of people of all classes
in Italy, meeting and addressing great
masses of Socialists. He impressed
upon all the necessity of a league OF
nations as the first step toward per-
manent peace.
Friendship to Nurture Peace.
The President further sought to i'm
press upon all the necessity of gov
ernment rule by friendship inst cad
OF force. and of the abandonment OF
the drastic ideas which may lead to
future wars.
There can be no doubt that the
President feels his mission has been
practically successful and that it will
be increasingly so. He has laid en-
phasis everywhere upon the fact that
he is only the spokesman of the
American people. and that the Ameri-
can people will insist upon that
Mr.. Wilson's personality has made
deep impression on all three coun-
tries. particularly in Italy. In Genoa,
Turin and Milan, the three great in
dustrial cities, all work was aban-
doned while the President and his
wife were in the city. and all neigh
boring cities sent great delegations
OF workers to see and hear him.
Everywhere the President. talking To
workmen. laid particular stress upon
the democracy OF the Italian King.
and everywhere he found the people
responsive.
Italians Strong for America.
But to use his own terms: The pas
sion of the Italian people is peace
They believe Wilson-and America
brought them peace and that he-and
America-will make peace permanent
and their friendship for both is abso-
luteIy unbounded
Unlike the French and British, the
Italians pay little attention to the
Vaccinations Of American politics.
They regard Wilson as the unques.

people and his word as final. They

particularly the seven years Of his
residence in the White House and
members Of the diplomatic corps ex-
pressed the admiration which the peo-
Piles in foreign lands held for him.
The bust Of Colonel Roosevelt in the
Senate corridor was draped in crepe.
The National Press club, where the
former presiden. frequently had been
a guest and speaker, postponed its an
