 WORK ON PLANS
 FOR NEXT HOUSE
Will Apportion Places On Committees Between
 Two Parties.

Washington, March 5.-Republican organization of the next house of representatives was pushed forward today by party leaders, composing the committee on committees with prac- tically a final decision that seniority of membership would continue to de. termine committee rank This ac- tion, taken in respect to the eleven principal committees applied to chairmanships as well as to other leading places in the roster of the Republican committee membership.
 Before undertaking to consider the question of membership rank, the Republicans decided on the appor- tionment of places on the committees between the two parties. Because of their margin of control of the next house, the committee decided to in- crease the majority appointment by one member with a similar reduction of democratic, or minority member ship.
 Divide Committees.
 The principal committee having twenty-one members would under the plan be divided between thirteen Republicans and eight Democrats while practically the same ratio would obtain with the committee of smaller membership. decision to make possible use of the committee on departmental expenditures for pro- posed investigation of war expendi- lures and other inquiries of depart ment activities, led to the member ship apportionment' of these commit tees being agreed on as five Republi- cans and two Democrats instead ol the four to three ratio that obtained in the last house.
 No consideration of the rank on the less important committees was givel at today's meeting New membership , of the committees also was not con sidered but nominations made of th' vacancies on half the committees showed that twice as many men Wer' seeking assignments as there would be places available.
 Choose FOrdney.
 The decision as to seniority on tn principal committees was reache early in the meeting, Representativ Fordney, of Michigan, first beini chosen to head the ways and mean committee, although lacking the sup port of committee members who vote for Representative Gillett of Massa dhusetts in the recent speakershl contest.

CHARGES IN HOUSE OF COMMONS ST|RS
 CANADIAN PEOPLE:
Former Minister Says Of ficers Sacrificed Mems Lives to Advance
 Themselves.

Toronto, March 5.-All Canada has been stirred by charges made m the house of commons by Sir Sam Hughes, former minister of militia, that officers commanding the dOmin- ions forces in France had needlessly sacrificed the lives of their men in order to advance themselves. AL though his allegations were assumed to refer to Sir Arthur Currie, conn mander- -in-chief. of the Canadian forces, there is apparent tonight a strong inclination in many quarters to disagree with him. Soldiers who served overseas already have taken up the cudgels in support of General Currie.
 Sir Sam announced he had protest ed several times to Premier Borden "against the waste of Canadian boys lives i'll unnecessary stunts on the battlefield" He then read a letter he had sent. to Sir Robert protecting against needless slaughter at Cam 1 brai and stating that he had drawn attention of the prime minister on previous occasions to the 'massacres at Lens, Passchendaelae, etc., where the only apparent object was to glor- ify the geiieral in commend"
 | Censures Leaders.
 He declared that any general who would undertake the attack at Cam brai by suburban or street fighting should be court martialed. The same was true, he said, of the officer who had ordered the storming of Mons four hours before the signing of tho armistice. This he characterized a! a bit of theatrical display which hat cost the lives of many fine Canadian
 boys who could i'll be spared.
 ! Some of the newspapers hint tha
 Sir Sam's attack was inspired b.
 chagrin at the failure of his son
 General Garnett Hughes to get t
 France, but all are unanimous in thei assertion that the charges call fo !, an immediate and thorough investiga
 tion. General Currie was an al
 pointee of Sir Sam's when he wa
 minister of militia.

MEN OF SCIENCE PUZZLED
Find u Hard to Account for the
Erratie Movements Of Deep
Water Fish.

The erratic movements Of fish are
constant source Of worry to scien-
lists. who. try as they will, can never
account for the vagaries Of these sea-
dwellers. Here Il q case In point: In
May. 1879. the fishing schooner Hutch
ings. sailing from Gloucester. Mass,
was under the command Of Captain
Kirby, trawling for cod of Nantucket.
A strange fish came up In the nets. q
large creature covered with yellow
spots. The men caught over two tons
and brought them to land, where they
were found to be an entirely new fam
lily. Scientists named them title Lsh." !"
for three years. till 1882. the fish were
caught In huge numbers, then the
bankers" reported that they were no
longer to be seen. The news came that
the sea was covered with dead tile
fish. Six thousand square miles Of sea
were almost hidden by the dead bodies.
Authorities said that there must have
been o volcanic disturbance or else
some deadly disease had killed on the
fish. In 1915 n schooner working In
the same waters caught the tile fish In
abundance. and to this day the fish
are there In millions.
