Many Witnesses To- I
Be Heard In Mussel
Nitrate Plant Trial

Florence, Ala, Jan. $50 many
witnesses were waiting to be heard
that the house war expenditures COM
mittee, Investigating the Mussel
Shoals Nitrate plant, decided today
to end its sessions and take remain
ing testimony about waste, extrava-
gance and labor stacking, by affidavit.
Enough evidence on this phase OF
the inquiry has been taken to con-
vince the committee. members said,
that it v would do to build a war
plant according to that system again.
The immediate problem relates to
disposition Of government properties,
costing upward Of one hundred mil
lion dollars and now fdla. Y
The committee has discussed this
informally. but Chairman Graham
said today he was not ready to offer
suggestions. Members feel, that az
nothing substantial is to be gained by
parading the cost and construction
skeletons, they might serve a more
useful purpose by trying to advise
congress what to do with the plants.
As to waste and extravaganza in
building, Representative Garrett, dem-
ocrat, Tennessee, ended a long dis
cussion by witnesses Of that subject
yesterday with the reminder that
everybody knew 1t, but that nobody
attempted to deny or condone it. s

BY EIOISE.

We have been hearing and reading
a great deal recently, to be specific
since July l, about hip, hip, hooray
parties. But men who are reluctant
to part company with old J.. Barley
corn are not the only ones who are
giving hip parties. The very daintiest
young women, even the most puritan
lcal prohibitionists. are participating
in a very different kind of hip, hip,
hooray party.
Every formal and informal affair
which Is given nowadays Is attended
by women, most OF whom are wear
ing h new frocks with the distend-
ed hipline. For several seasons past
the hipless models have been the
vogue and it has been a long time
since women have even acknowledge
ed they have hips. Now, however,
they are glad to own up to them and
hips are once more the style.
TINS most charming costume which
is designed for the first spring dane
ing parties is fashioned Of Nile green
taheta combined with lace. Unlike
most -frocks the lace forms the foun-
dalton and the taffeta the panniers
instead of the usual silk foundation
and lace overdrape. The extreme
bouHancy at the hips is. obtained by
wiring the silk. The quaint little
bodice with its diminutive sleeves
and modest round neck is an efec-
Tive contrast to the extreme skirt.
Tiny punches Of satin fruit are Just
the right trimming touch.

VALUE OF MARK STILL Low.

Berlin. Thursday, JAM. 22.-Sur-
prise is expressed by the Tagleblatt
that the credit Of 200, 900, 900 florins
recently extended to Germany by Hol-
land had failed to cause a recovery in
the value of the mark and hat on
the other hand the depreciation had
continued after, the conclusion of the
loan. The newspaper quotes Berlin
bankers as explaining that this condi-
ton, Is due to the practice of permit
ting foreign credits for German ex-
ports to remain abroad, both because
of a desire to conceal capital and also
in order to have available future
funds for the purchase Of raw mate
rial.

DE VALERA ADMITS
BIG POLITICAL FUND

Washington, Aug. 10.-Bamon de
Valera. president Of Ireland" In
an interview here today admitted
in detail the charges contained in
London cables to the PUBLIC LEDGER
regarding the use OF Irish republic
funds in American politics. Mr.. de
Valera said he had not seen the docu-
mcnts which "purport" TO contain his
official authorization to spend $1,000, =
600 in the United States.
Mr.. De Valera then prepared for the
PUBLIC LEDGER the following state
ment:
~ have seen the dispatches you re-
fer to. I am unable to make certain
from internal evidence whether they
are genuine or not. j have not 80
far myself received the official minutes
Of that session Of our congress. AS q
rule the congress prints and publishes
full report of its transactions. Copies
Of these In the past have been eagerly
sought out by the British in order to
be destroyed. The difficulty for us was
to procure the desired publicity.
The last session was secret--not
because the congress desired 1t to be
so. but because it's meeting place,
or the fact of its meeting at all coult
not be made public without its delibera =
tions being interfered with by the Brit
ish army of occupation. However. as
I have said. ! must wait before l can
tell for certain whether the dispatch
Is genuine record of the proceedings
or not.
Your same correspondent recently
filled columns of your paper with a
document which the British palmed of
as the present constitution of the Irish
Republican Brotherhood. Internal evi
dence proved. as ! showed on the day
OH which it appeared here, that II il
ever was the constitution of that body
it could only have been it's constitution
prior to the ratification Of the republic
by the vote of the people. That I was
right in this CONCLUSION was subse
qucntly corroborated when secured a
copy Of the existing constitution which
obliged every member and every one OF
the heads Of the brotherhood to take
an oath of allegiance to the people
elected government. Similar tricks may
have been played upon him this time
THE British are so hard set at the
present moment that they catch at q
straw. They see that Northcliffe's ad
mitted expenditure of $3.50 900. 900 in
British propaganda here might as vel

"These money votes Of congress II

show, too, the Importance the Irish
peoples representatives attach TO the
question of recognition by the United

had to weigh the relative Importance
Of the various proposed undertakings
of the government and set the maximum
that might be expended on each in ac-
cordance with their estimation OF the
