on business connected with the trial
were forced to seek Accommodations

Uses to emphasize this need.

CHAOS IN NAVY
CONTINUED from Page One)

the country" After several weeks
delay, Captain Laning said, the shells
were ordered.
Other charges made by the witness
were that the department in the
years Immediately precedingthe war
did not advocate and legislation pol
icies that would prepare the navy for
hostilities that when it was appar-
ent war could not be avoided the de-
partment still refused to prepare;
that lack Of coordination in the de-
partment during the early months Of
the war reduced the effectiveness of
American participation and added to
the cost, and that when war was de-
c!ared the navy department told the
country that the navy was ready
when in reality it was known that it
would take at least 100 days to pre-
pare even the latest ships for active
service.
Senator Trammell, Democrat, Flor
ida, read a letter written by the cap
tain to Rear Admiral Sims in Au-
gust 1918 apparently in answer to a
letter from the admiral criticising the
department for not cooperating more
fully with the naval forces abroad.
The Laning letter opened with he
statement that the writer was mot
convinced, that the bureau of opera
tons had 'erred in it's general plans ,
and declared that a suggestion made
by Admiral Sims earlier that the bat
tleships be placed out of commission
and their crews sent overseas would
if adopted have proved disastrous"
The letter continued:
over there you give us the devil
because we don't do all you want rs
to do. You fell we are failing you.
Does it help the morale over there
or over lhere to do that?
Criticism is easy and just criticism
beneficial, but there is nothing more
lowering to the morale than unjust
criticism and criticism made without
full knowledge and thought is appar-
ent to be unjust
After reading the letter Senator
| Trammell asked Captain Laning if ha
did not think the letter answered
many of Admiral Sims charges and
some of the criticisms made by Cap
tain Lanhg himself in his direct
statement. The officer replied that
he did not believe SO, that the letter
referred to a period much later in the
war than that covered by the Sims
charges, the first six months and his
own testimony.
At the request Of Senator Pittmen,
Democrat, Nevada, the committee al
pitted to the record General Bliss
denial that he had ever recommended
amalgamation OF American troops
with the foreign armies as Rear Adj
miral Sims testified.
Chairman Hale also read into the
record his reply to Secretary Daniels
request that the Bliss letter be put
into the record. saying that he con-
sidered it improper to insert papers
into the record at the request of per-
sons not before the committee and
that Mr.. Daniels would be given OPP
portunity to present any documents
he desired when he was called to tes-
tify.
The chairman's letter added that
the papers have nothing to do with
the very definite criticism Of lack Ct
preparedness and prompt support on
the part Of the navy department
made by Admiral Sims in his letter IF

Mr.. James q. Allen suffered FOR years
with rheumatism. Many times this ter
rible disease left him helpless and IN
able to work.
He finally decided. after years Of
ceaseless study. that no one can be free
from rheumatism until the accumulated
impurities. commonly called uric acid
deposits, were dissolved in the Joints
and muscles and expelled from the body:
With this idea in mind he consulted
physicians. made experiments and fin
ally compounded a prescription that
quickly and completely banished every
sign and symptom of rheumatism from
his system.
He freely gave his discovery to others
who took il, with what might be called
marvellous success. After years Of urg-
ing he decided to let sufferers every
where know about his discovery through
the newspapers. Your druggist has
been appointed agent for Allenrhu in
this vicinity with the understanding
that he will freely return the purchase
