Washington, Feb. l5.-Criticism of
the army court martial system, con-
ditions at Brest and other French en-
barkation camps and rehabilitation,
marked the debate today in the house
on the $l,100.O00, 900 military appro-
priation bill. Passage of the measure
went over until next week despite the
holding of second night session in
an effort to speed consideration.
Efforts by Representative Frear of
Wisconsin, republican, to have many
of the Appropriation items reduced
because "tney were complet gucsseS"
were voted down, with the exception
of that to cut in half the 81 900, 600
appropriation for maintenance of
barracks and quarters of the coast
artillery. Various provisions permit
ting building construction by various
war department bureaus also were
eliminated. An amendment was
adopted requiring the use OF army au-
tomobiles only for business purposes
Representative Johnson of South
Dakota, republican. who served as an
officer with the American forces
abroad, condemned the court martial
system and sought to have the house
adopt as a rider to the appropriation
lain of oregon, providing for revision
of court martial procedure. Repre-
sentative Gordon OF Ohio, demo-
cratic member of the military COM
mittee, defeated Mr.. Johnsoh's pro-
posal on a point of order
THE administration will never get
through hearing about their refusal
to allow congress to consider this
amendment designed to protect men
in the army" declared Mr.. johnson
when the point of order was made
against his proposal 1T is up to
congress to give protection in the
future to men in the army who will
be subject to abuses of an atrocious
character unless this court martial
law Is revised"
Representative Moore of Pennsyl-
vania, republican, asserted that sol
diers were being held from two to six
weeks in embarkation camps and kept

Replying to the criticisms of Rep

injury to the men they sought to aid.
Representative Green Of Iowa, re-
publican, said no attention to COM
plants of soldiers had been given by
the administration. but that the criti-
cism voiced in congress had accom-
plished much toward relief of the
men.
Representative I'rcar in attacking
the rehabilitation program said the

$4,000 men, while last week the
number was announced as 10000.

GOVERNMENT CONTROL
FAILURE IN SIBERIA

Vladivostok Jan. 2 (by Mail. 1.-THE
expense of operating the Trans Sibe-
rian railway is exceeding its income
by the normal equivalent of about
$40. 100000 a month, says a writer in
local newspaper. Only .wo trains
daily now are operated between Vladi-
vostok, Cheliabinsk and Ekaterinburs
and one of these is a military train.
The writer asserts that the road has
enough equipment to give daily serv-
ice of eight trains across Siberia to the
Russian cities.
Reasons assigned for failure to de.
velop the road to its capacity are de-
struction of the Onon bridge, military
management, shortage of supplies,
scarcity of food for railway employees
and financial difficulties.

Fisher Already
Sends Warming
To Candidates
Coach and DIR. Nichols In
struct Prospective Players
About Their Conditioning

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Aug. g. DR..
Edward H. Nichols of the Harvard
football team, in a communication ad-
dressed to all candidates for the eleven
warns them against taking off too
much weight during the summer. A
surplus OF twelve to fifteen pounds is
all right for a heavy linesman to carry
when ne reports for practice, the doc
Tor says, and from seven to ten pounds
not too much for lighter man.
The doctors warning, together with
an announcement by Head Coach
Robert Fisher. has just been mailed by
the football association to all prospec-
tive players. Coach Fisher has the fol-
lowing to say about football:
Football practice will begin In Co.
p. m. This preliminary work, beca
of the present conditions, is Il,
necessary than ever before for
proper development OF the team.
Each candidate should care
study the football rules for 1918
lore returning for practice. It is
equally important that as many C,
dates as possible should Practice pu
ing, drop kicking. goals frum

velop practically an entire team fr,
unknown material Consequently ca,
candidate has an unusual opportunit
to make place for himself on the 1911
eleven. To insure a successful sea
son the cooperation of every man is
vitality important"
Dr.. Nchols's remarks are as follows:
"Do not try to reduce your weight
during the summer Players often re-
turn in the fall boasting that they are
down to weight This is very unde-
sirsble. Men should come back we'll
above playing weight so that the
coaches may have weight to take off
during the preliminary work. Do not
worry. Your weight will be taken of
after you get back. Men who come
back down to weight almost inva RI
ably go fine before the season is
finished. Heavy linesmen should be
from twelve to fifteen pounds over
weight. Light backs and ends from
seven to ten pounds. Do not try
especially to regulate your diet. Food
