 Out Wonderful
 Achievements
By Associated Press

Washington, November 16-A blanket invitation to every citizen having knowI- edge of "any irregularity or misconduct
 on the part of any agent, employe or officer of the war department to sub- l init such evidence for investigation was issued today by Secretary Baker in re- ply to recent criticisms of the surplus property division appearing in New York newspaper. The secretarys state
 ment pledged thorough inquiry in every accusation brought to the attention of the department.
 Declaring that particular articles re- ferred to charge: First, that the war department bought too many supplies, and second, that irregularities, favorit- ism and profiteeering have characterized the disposal of surplus stocks. The statement emphaticatiy denied both ale gations.
 Supplies were bought, it was said on the basis of an expected duration of the war.
 Had the campaign of 1919 been neces- sary," it said, the American army the combined French and British armies in France
 The rapid demobilization of the army, the-statement continued, left vast ac- cumulation of material which, ''ir dumped on the market, would have re- suited in widespread unemployment with demobilized soldiers and war workers jobless and the economic condition of the country prostrated.
 PROOF POLICY WAS RIGHT "The policies which were pursued en- couraged the resumption of industry. and America is the only country actively en- gagged in the war which has up to this time attained full employment condi- tions," it added.
 Total appropriations of the war depart ment from April 6, 1917, to June 30, 1920, were approximately s2o5oo,0O,0o0, of which SIG. l00, ,000000 was expended and S7 800, 900 900 turned back to the treasury, the statement said. Deducting balances on hand and amounts realized in sales prior to June 30, it continued, the net cash outlay to June 90 was sl577o,oco0 0o, with credit and cash sales not yet turned in would reduce to about $13, 800, ,000 0o0. Tn other words, the statement said, sCongress provided with an unstintinS hand and the war department took every step in it's power to prevent shortage of any necessary war material and puiil it's plan to meet the great army in the process of formation. There was TO shortage. In spite of all this, however, about stsoo0, ,ooo,oNo will he the net cost of the war through the War departmezt' and these figures include great and sub stantial properties and facilities ac- quired by the department and perma- nently retained for the use of the mili- tary establishment. Specific charges of irregularity and fayoritism made by Mai. W. 0. atts' | nf the surplus property division, have been carefully in-
 vestigated by the inspector generals g de-
 partment and found to be unsupported,
 the statement declared. More recent

 The complete victory of the opposi- tion seemed almost certain last night, although final results were still lacking. Even leaders of the elements opposed to Premier Venizelos in the electiors held on Sunday were surprised by the show ing their candidates had made in Mace donia and Attaca.
 It is said NJ. Venizelos will leave the country and he has advised liberals to abide by the verdict of the people
 Demtrios Gounaris, leader of the oppo- sition, has declared the foreign policy of Greece will not be changed.
 Latest returns from the election give the supporters of NJ. Venizelos HIS depu- ties against 25o royalsts. M. Venizelos and all but two of his ministers wero beaten. None of the Venezelist candi- dates were elected in Greece and Mace donia, with the exception of Epirus and the Aegean Islands.

He val ued the equipment of this yard at about Sl,oOO,0OO, and added that while there was sufficient lumber at hand to build sheds to protect the exposed machinery, it was not done. The marine railway he testified. was built on land owned by a private individual, who had an agreement for rental of his property. with no specified amount named ,She railway was built with emergency fleet funds amounting to about st0J.- 900, with an additional s12,000 worth of filling supplies by the government for another operation. This property he said, was In controversy, and 1t was his opinion that under the laws of Georgia it was owned by the man who had title to the land" The rental asked, he understood. amounted to about 10 times the appraised value of the plant.
 The witness said he had ao criticism of the manner in which the yards un- der his Jurisdiction were handled while they were active, but he did criticisc the manner in which the financing was taken care of.
 The steward service of the board was gone into by Sidney 1. Alderman, re- cently on the steamship South Pole. He told of alleged satisfactory means of making purchases of supplies for ship ping board vessels in foreign ports. particularly at New Castle. England.

PLANT SHUT DOWN
 Speaking of the National Shipbuild- ing company, the witness said that work there had shut down previous to his arrival on the scene.
 X found nothing had been done to take care of the properties and vaiua- ble machinery was left uncovered ts the weather" he said. On his own re- sponsibllity he took steps to save as much of it ass was possible. He in voiced the properties as to quantity and percentage depreciation" but not as to value. His guess" at its value was between $1.5oo,ooo and $2.oo0, 900. He also asserted that in the auditing of the affairs of the plant t01 num- bered vouchers could not be accounted 1 for.
 Another point he made was that equipment ordered previous to the clos ] ing of the plant was still coming to the yard He tried to have 1t stopped, and suggested it was new and could oe re turned to tho vendors by payment oi the freight only.

 He said the yards were well orgdn- ized; better, perhaps than was the emergency fleet forces, for they gen. erally could get the better of the gov ernment organization" He brought into his testimony the name of the Ter ry ship yards and the National Ship Building company, and a marine iaii- way organization over which he mad supervisors.
