WAR DEPARTMENT
rs ATTACKED FOR
CASUALTY ERRORS

Washington. Jan. 2.-T'he wa

in the senate today by Senator
Weeks of Massachusetts Republi-
can, for delays and errors in COM
piling casualties among the expe-
dictionary forces and for failure to
cooperate with the Red Cross IL,
the matter of forwarding letters
from wounded soldiers tC relatives
in this country.
Criticism was directed especially
at the office OF the adjutant general
of the army. Senator Weeks saying
that Major General Mccain, the ad-
jutant general who retII ed las
summer to command a division
and who was succeeded by Major
General Harris. should have been
retained. He could not believe, he
said. that a change in the Office
during the war was bu5fness-like
or desirable.
Senator Weeks declared that the,
war departments Information as to
casualties often had been wrong.
During the week ended Dec. ID
he stated. the Red Cross received
an average of 20 letters a day from
parents who had beer advised by
the war department that their
sons had been killed on a specific
date. IN every one of these cases
the parents wrote that they had
received communications from
their boys subsequent to the date
given by the war department.

Americas Future
Warships VIII Be
Above All Others

Washington, Jan. 2.-America's
capital fighting ships of the future
will be superior to those OF other
nations because OF their electrically
driven machinery, Secretary Dan
iels told the house naval commit
tee today in disclosing remarkable
results attained by the new dread
naught New Mexico. equipped with
the electric drive, which is to be a
feature of all the big ships author
lied since 1915.
The New NeXiCoS turbo-electric
machinery was designed to develop
"a, 800 horsepower al full speed and
TO give the ship q speed of II knots.
She actually developed more
than $1,000 boTsepow err" Mr.. Dan
Iels said, land maintained for four
hours a speed Of zl14 knots and
this when running at a displace-
ment 1000 tons greater than the
design called for.
If she had been Tried AT her de-
signed displacement. sne would
have made 21.5 knots without any
,Touble whatever. ard what is still
better, she could have kept ND this
speed as long as ner fuel lasted,
for, like all our dreadnaughts. she
is an oil burner and there would be
no reduction in speed due 10 the
necessity of cleaning fires, which.
must be dcne in cOai-burning ships
after a run OF four hours at top
speed"
The secretary said fuel economy
at cruising speed had been one of
the things sought in substituting
electric drive for the ordinary tur-
bine equipment.
The secretary discussed the pos
sibility of making all naval vessels
eiectric-driven. Commander T. ".
Foote gave a technical explanation
of the superiority OF electrically
driven machinery and declared that
its installation could be called an
experiment no longer.
Questioned by Chairman Padgett
as to the comparative expense OF
installing the new machinery, Com
mander Foote said it was much the
cheaper and had the advantage OF
being more enduring.
