Estimates for the army OF nearly

of all. Naval estimates may be
largely reduced without impairing

worth Of supplies were made to the
members of the house committee in
yestigating war expenditures by
Capt. Robert Clendenning and
Others
In testifying before the committee
Captain ,Clendenning described how
d pile of automobile tires many feet
deep and covering an acre OF ground,
worth in the aggregate about $50
600 900, were allowed to stand eX-
posed to the weather for more than
10 months until they were ruined.
This, he said, was at the motor
transport corps base at Verneuil,
France. He declared that although
there were plenty of covering ma
terials in the camp, some not used
at all and some used for less im-
portant purposes, no effort was made
to use the covers to protect the tires
from the elements.
Captain Clendenning also told Of
how $500 motorcycles, which had
been placed in perfect repair for the
use of the eXpeditionary forces, were
parked at the same camp and al
lOwd to stand exposed to the weather
until they, too, became mere junk.
Earl Tromley of Detroit, Il former
sergeant in the tank corps, asserted
that thousands of automobiles, pas
senger cars, as we'll as trucks, were
thrown into piles along the railroad
tracks until the piles of such Junk

down the belligerent attitude the

Mexico's answer was to obtain
Jenkins release under bail. thus be-
clouding the issue, and then to send
a polite note saying that there could
not be any crisis now that Jenkins
is out of jail but that he must be
prosecuted in the Mexican courts on
