of copies of his recent speeches. In
view of the Allen-Gompers debate in
New York tonight renewed interest
has been evident. One of the clear
est, most forceful presentations of the
new labor court act was made by the
governor. in an address before the
American Publishers association.
In his discussion of the court law at
the newspaper meeting, Governor AL
len defined the scope of the act in
manner that won many compliment
tary comments. In the opinion of
number of publishers the speech be-
fore the publishers did much to arouse
nationwide interest in tonight's de-
bate in which Governor Allen will tell
the nation of the new Kansas law to
curb industrial unrest. His remarks
before the publishers association may
tend to give an interesting line on the
probable trend of tonight's debate.
Aliens Speech.
The governor in his speech said:
Mr.. President and fellow publishers
l am very glad indeed for the courtesy
which gives me opportunity to say a
few words about the Kansas industrial
court.
We called special session of the legis-
lature, not to pass a bill against labor, not
to pass a bill against capital, but to pass
a bill which would protect labor against

Under contract IL was agreed to ex-
pend S1G,155,OO0 for nine ships. The

NEW YORK, May 1.-two at

being Investigated by the Congres-

The attorneys. w. w. Scott, gen
eral counsel for the Virginia ship

the inquiry"
This action of the attorneys was
taken just as Chairman Joseph Walsh
was preparing TO conclude the com
mittee's New York deliberations. MI.
Scott said:
II want to get the opportunity to
read into the record that the Vir-
ginia Shipbuilding Corporation is

Attorney Burditt said.
"Facts have been so presented to
the committee that i would like 10
show your committee that the G-o-
ton Iron Works never has been over
paid by the Goernment."
Mr.. Burditt was interrupted by
Chairman Walsh, who said the law
yers would be given an adequate op-
portunity to present the facts they
have gathered.
1t was dwelt upon emphatically in
the examination of several officials
Of the Emergency Fleet Corporation
yesterday that the Shipping Board
had expended money In excess of It's
original contract with the Morse COM
panies. Mr.. Burditt, in an informal
ST, cment, explained this as follows:
Illnesses emphasized the fact
thar E.o Government contract in
volv.4 S16,155,0OO for nine ships. The
fact that receiver was appointed,
and that he saved $SS,O0O in salaries

brought UP. But the other side has
not been presented.
Cites Receiver Cost.
"Of that S16.155.OOO the receivers
themselves have expended about SS.-
10000. No one testified as to that.
And when the receivers saved $751;
900 in salaries, what construction do
you place on the fact that each of
the two receivers received salaries of
$17,5OO; we're allotted $4,000 legal
purposes. and expended $500 for ac-
counting bills? 1t is a fact that the
receivers spent $4,000 while saving
the $4,000.
II have figures to date showing
the financial relations between the
Morse interests and the Govern
| ment. Up to and including May 10,

Statements made by Sims that L.
O00.O 900 men should have been In
France by Msreh. 1913. were scored
by the witness. MY understanding is
that, broadly speaking. there was al
ways tonnage to carry men, muni'
tions. supplies as fast as they could
be landed and forwarded to the front
In France" Daniels explained. "oniy
by extreme exertions was this done
when the rush came in April"
That the American army materially
shortened tho war. and that IT. was
placed In France as fast "as human
ly possible" was Daniels contention.
Testimony of the officers In com
mand of the fleet and in the Navy De-
partment during the war were quoted
by Daniels TO disprove the statement
made by Sims that the failure OF the
Navy Department to function proper
ly had prolonged the war and caused
the loss OF life.
Answering the charge of "unpre-
paredness" made by Sims. Daniels de-
ciared:
"The British navy Is tho biggest in
the world. and more hundreds OF mil
lions OF dollars were spent on IL than
upon any other navy. Its avowed
policy was to be twice as powerful ~
that OF Germany. In the hope and
beHef that such a preponderance
would either prevent war or insure a
naval victory II war came.
Cites JelIicO's Beck.
There was but one great naval
battle in which the British and Ger
man navies were engaged in full
force, the battle of Jutland. Reams
have been written on that battle. and
naval experts will disagree and de-
bate for a decade. telling what might
have happened in this or that had or
had not occurred.
I'm his interesting story OF the bat
tie of Jutland, Admiral Jellico. one Of
the best naval officers of the world,
makes a number of statements which
show that not even the British navy
could be 100 per cent perfect. He
shows that the British fleet. in the
battle of Jutland. did not have the
preponderating strength the world
supposed. He also frankly admits
certain deficiencies and weaknesses
which surprised tho people OF Great
Britain and the world, which had
supposed the British navy was far
superior to Germany's in every unit

High Government Officials to

Special ceremonies in honor OF the
American soldier dead in France will
be held by the French government
and people throughout France on
May 80. According to a cablegram
received here today by the French
High Commission. high government
officials, military representatives
and civilians will participate in cere-
monies wherever American dead are
buried.
In adopting the American custom of
observing Memorial Day, the French
government has given double honor
to the American dead. The French
practice is to honor all dead on No
vember ALL Saints Day. At that
time the American graves will be re.
decorated and will receive the same
tribute as will the graves which con.
tain the French soldier dead The
dispatch received today said:
The French government has set
apart May 30 for special ceremonies
In memory of the American soldiers
who gave their lives in the war and
are BURIED in France. Tho cemeteries
whcrc the graves OF Americans are

OF nghting strength. including de-
stroyers." Daniels declared.
In comparison, Daniels quoted re-
ports made by Sims when the United
States destroyers arrived in European
waters. At one time Simms said the
vessels themselves caused a great deal
OF complimentary comment and. con-
trary to expectations. were found to
be well equipped for their prospective
duty with the single exception OF
depth charges" Another statement
made by Sims, on November rs, 1917.
said "the force commander is psrticu-
larly gratihed to he able to report
the manner in which the destroyer
flotillas are meeting the war de-
mands placed upon them"
Daniels read letter written 10
Thomas A. Edison. on July z, 1915,
with a view of establishing an or
ganization to perfect means OF at.
tack and defense in naval warfare.
From this letter and a personal in
terview the Secretary later had with
Edison. the naval consulting board
grew, Daniels explained. Representa-
tives Of the American Institute and
ten other scientific organizations were
selected to aid in the work. When
war broke out Edison, who was head
of tho board, dropped all his per-
sonal work." Daniels declared. He
devoted his entire time to naval re-
search and experiment. In all. he in
vestigated forty-six separate sub
jects. and gave himself fully and
wholly to the duty which will always
