ness Stevenson Was En-
ployee Of Department.

commended to Committee
by Army Captain.



WASHINGTON, Jan. 2s.--Secretary OF
War Baker was subjected to severe
chastisement in the Senate to-day when
Senator Overman IN. c., chairman or
the subcommittee investigating German
propaganda, gave the Senate his author
ity for examining Archibald Stevenson,
the Investigator, who Secretary Baker
had denied was a member OF the ONCE
Of Military Intelligence OF the War De-
partment.
Senator Overman gained recognition
Immediately after the converting OF the
Senate and at once launched his attack
on the Secretary OF War. who yesterday
rise to the defence OF the pacifists OF
the United States by denouncing Mr..
Stevenson's who's who in pacifsm,'
made public by Senator Overman's COM
mittee.
Secretary Baker in his statement yes
terday had asserted that Mr.. Stevenson
was not attached to the Military intel
lisence ONCE and disolaimed any knowl-
edge of him. Senator Overman produced
documents to prove the legitimacy OF
Mr.. Stevenson's appointment and the
recommendation by a superior officer
of his capacity to serve as a witness In
introducing the subject Senator Over
man said:
IL assume the Secretary OF War in his
statement published in the press this
morning did not intend to criticise the
Senate Committee on the Judiciary

carry the mail if they can do so with out suffering loss, as no individual or company is going to refuse con- tract if it offers profit. '
 "The government has received in- numerable protests from the people and commercial bodies of Alaska against the handling of mail by freight and express, as at present. To offset these protests, the impression has been given out that the steamship companies were arbitrarily exorbi- tant in their bids. A good many peo- pie in Alaska received the idea that the steamship companies were respon- sible for forcing the mail to be car ried by freight whereas, as has been stated before, the companies did not raise their bids over what had been charged during the time when operat- ing cost were very much lower than at present, and the Admiral line and Alaska Steamship company, at a meet ing in the chamber of commerce re- gently, stated plainly that they were quite happy under the present condi- tion, without any mail contract as they were now enabled to cut out a great many calls and deviations which cost lots of money, and which makes it possible to save in operating ex- penses, more than the whole of the compensation for carrying the mails.
 "If they can carry the mails, how ever, without suffering an actual loss, they will do it in order to accommo- date the people of Alaska. In fairness to the steamship companies, therefore, the people must look to the post office department for the necessary action to bring relief. The companies are in no way responsible for the situation, and should not bear the blame for a condition brought about by the ar bitray stand taken by the post office department at Washington, D. c.

 "These figures do not take into con- sideration any overhead expenses and repairs, so we feel that the criticism directed against the steamship com panies regarding the matter of the Alaska mail situation is unwarranted" Your eyes fitted. Compound and stigmatic lenses replaced. See Os- borne

PLACES BLAME FOR ALASKA'S
 MAIL SERVICE

Many people have received the idea that the steamship companies are responsible for forcing United States mail to be carried by freight in Alaska, whereas the facts are that the steamship companies are not to blsme," said T. B. Watson, general claim agent for the Pacific Steamship Company, who is on business trip to Cordova.
 Now, we know that every Ameri- can citizen has right to conduct his business on basis that will bring him a reasonable return on the money he has invested continued MT. Watson. eff, as a result of his own unwisdOm, any man should sell his goods or his services at less than cost, he would be forced out of buiness, and we know that the American people in al>fair- ness, do not demand that any man sell his goods, or his services at less than cost, but if he should do so, they will not pity him so much as they would condemn him for his foolishness.
 "If the people of Alaska will ex- anime the situation carefully, they will realize that if the steamship con- panies attempted to carry the mails under the contract demanded by the postal department, the companies would be in the same position as the merchant who drove himself into bankruptcy by selling his goods at less than cost.
 When the post office department asked for bids on the Alaska mail con- tract, the steamship companies figured as closely as they could and they sub mitted bids in which they offered to carry the mail for exactly the same revenue per trip as they had in the past despite the tremendous increased cost of operation which the steamship companies had to bear. The post of fee department arbitrarily decided tkat the companies had asked too much. The result was, that the post office department resolved to discon- tinue giving the people of Alaska mail service as formerly, but decided to send mail by freight. AS result of this decision, the people of Alaska have suffered the greatest inconveni- ence and delay, and they should place the blame where it belongs; it is easily within the power of the post of fee department to remedy this stiua- steamship companies would gladly
