PROBERS FAIL
BRING REPORT
ON WAR BILLS

Washington, Dec. 19.-Despite sew
en- months of investigation by five
subcommittee, the republican major
ity of the house of representatives
has failed to bring in any final or
even definite reports on war expen-
ditures from their "smellers." In con-
sequence there has been much news
paper denunciation from both repub-
lcan and democratic sources, so an
attempt was recently made to debate
for four hours report from the sub
committee on ordnance, which did
not even make a recommendation to
the house.
The contention of the democrats
was that the war expenditures
smelling" committee had been ap-
pointed to make definite report, and
that four hours discussion without
action was without precedent and
waste of the nations time. AS de-
scribed by Representative Edward
w Pou (democraD, the report set
forth that the sub-committe had
learned from the war department
that 46SS claims had been adjusted,
PISS are pending and 2,700 other
claims are under consideration.
Out of that immense number of
claims the committee selects eight.
said Mr.. Pou "And what does it say
about these eight? 1t suggests that in
the settlement with these eight cor
porations or firms the committee is
of the opinion that the salvage val
ues were too large. And the near
est clause in this report that ap-
proaches the specific is to be found
in these words: In some of the
cases cited they seem to have been
obviously tainted with fraud And |
that is what we are to discuss for |
four mortal hours This great body
is not engaged in child's play; it is
not moot court, If this committee
found fraud it should have said so;
it should have fixed the responsible
ity, it should have said who was
guilty of the fraud and in what re-
spect, and furnished bill of particu-
lars

intimate juxtaposition to ones epi-

er fans of the moment prove excel
LENT screens to conceal any necessa-
ry local treatment.
The rich metallic embroideries and
brocades are really the most wonder
ful expressive fabrics for the even

and extravagant era but they simply
won't stay i'm their proper sphere.
They insist on weaving in on frocks
and suits of sober daytime utility
wear and embellishing neutral-toned
duvetyne and practical serges with
reckless abandon.
Gold motifs enhancing the charms
of all shades of brown are effective,
indeed, and silver on blues OF greys
are stunning. The CLINT of metal is

Aside from the metallic threads in
