DANIELS SAYS
 HE DECORATED
 ENLISTED MEN
Secretary Asserts That He Ordered Twelve Medals
 For Sailors

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26. - Demo- cratic opposition blocked action to- day on the resolution introduced by Senator Hale, Republican, authoriz- ing employment of legal counsel and clerical assistance for the sub-com- mittee Investigating naval awards and the navy's conduct of the war.
 Senator Hale, chairman of the sub- committee, late today brought the resolution before the senate for the third time with request for inn mediate consideration. A threatened Democratic filibuster, led by Senators Pittman of Nevada, and Walsh of Montana, caused him to withdraw the request with the announcement he would make it again tomorrow.
 Secretary Daniels notified Chair man Hale today that it would be more convenient for him to begin his tes- timony on Friday instead of Thurs day and the next session was set for that day.
 Secretary Daniels made public a letter to Chairman Hale of the sen- ate subcommittee Investigating naval war decoration awards, transmitting a list of awards made. to enlisted men by the secretary, without reference to the Knight medal award board It consists of 12 awards of distinguish ed service medals, the only instances, MT. Daniels said, of such awards to enlisted men, and IA navy cross awards.
 Chairman Hale was informed, also, that list of awards to officers made by direction of the secretary with out action of the board" was being compiled.
 Secretary Daniels said that when the report of the board reached him, he noticed that out of a half million men in the naval service during the war, only about 11S enlisted men had

 BIG FORCE FOR U. s. Regular Army of 28O,000, National Guard And a
 Citizens Reserve

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-Military training for boys between IS and 21 years was approved today by the sen ate military committee in ordering by a vote of g to 5 a favorable report to the senate on the army reorgan- ization bill.
 The compulsory military training provision which fixes the training at four months, was opposed in the committee by Senators Lenroot, Wis consin, and Capper, Kansas, Repub- Iicans, and Senators McKellar of Ten nessee; Sheppard of Texas, and Kir- by of Arkansas. Democrats. Senators Wadsworth, New York: Warren, Wy oming; Sutherland, West Virginia; Newberry. Indiana; Frelinghuysen, New Jersey; Knox, Pennsylvania, and Spencer, Missouri, Republicans, and Chamberlain, Oregon, and Thomas, Colorado, Democrats, supported it. Senator Mcclellan announced that he would submit a minority report in which seV,-'al senators are expected to concur.
 For One Army
 AS agreed upon, the bill is virtually the same as reported by the sub-com- mittee, but is radically different from the reorganization bill submitted by the war department. Besides estab- fishing compulsory military training, the bill provides for establishment of one army to be divided into a citizen army composed of men who have re- ceived compulsory training, a stand ing army of 0,000 enlisted men and 1S,00O officers. and national. guard.
 Civilian Force for War
 Provision is made that the citizen army cannot be called except in case of a declaration of war To accom- modate the reserve force, provision is made for an annual reduction of five per cent in the enlisted strength of the regular army and two per cent in the number of enlisted officers for the first five years. This will mean, Chairman Wadsworth explained, that after five years the regular army will be reduced by 10000 men and 1900 officers, which will greatly decrease the cost of maintaining the military esta bli5hment.
 The bill also would place all youths WnO nave lAO AONA training on the reserve list to be sub feet to two weeks training annually. Under an amendment dependents of such youths during training would receive an allowance the same as now provided under the war risk in surance act.
 Establishment of the office of un- der-secretary of war who would be charged with the solution of the great industrial and business proo- iems involved in the procurement of military supplies is provided.
 The bill. Senator Wadsworth said tonight, would reduce military ex' peditures by approximately one half. estimates for the war department and the army for this year, he said, are placed at $I.10OOOO,OOO. He said he would report the bill to the senate Dossibly tomorrow.

Martens on Witness Stand Says Reds Have Abandoned
 All Propaganda SEDITION HERE IS
 PURELY AMERICAN" Soviet Envoy" Declares His Principals Have Half a
 Billion in Gold

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-Soviet
 Russia, transformed by assured sue
 cess of it's leadership at home. is nc
 longer fired by the missionary zeal which led it's agents and emmissaries
 during the first months of it's exist. ence tc preach worldwide revolution, Ludwig Martens, self-styIed ambassa- dor from that country, told a senate committee today.
 The Soviet republic at present. Martens said, does not care what kind of government other people have" and has indulged in general revolutionary propaganda only when It was on the defensive, and hard pressed by nations which had armies in the field against it'' Today. be- cause it is strong enough to fight the world" it has abandoned, he add ed, principles first promulgated to the effect that it can be maintained only by destruction of other govern ments which recognize property rights and capitalistic organizations" 7"
 These statements Martens made un- der oath in response to questions from Chairman Moses and Senator Borah, Idaho. Senator Borah shot him query after query, repeating re- ported manifestos of the Soviet Rus sian republic which called on revolu- tionary elements everywhere to or ganize workingmen to revolt against organized government and demanding to know if every Soviet supporter was not bound to work for destruction of all governments recognizing capi- tai. Martens met him with quick de- nials.
 Martens denied all connection with revolutionary movements in the Unit ed States, though admitting some knowledge of them. He said they were purely American, arising out of American conditions" and as Soviet agent he had not helped or financed them or their followers. He had in structions, he said, to stay clear of interference with American affairs. All of his publicity efforts were de- voted to explaining the Soviet system to the end that America would allow its recognition as the established gov ernment in Russia and were not to extend it to the United States.
 When the committee demanded copies of governmental instructions, former Senator Hardwick of Georgia. attorney for the Soviet bureau, argued that to give them might disclose the code" in which the Soviet foreign office corresponds with Martens. which should be entitled to immuni- ty, but promised notwithstanding, to furnish them. An adjournment was taken until Thursday, parly to let Martens examine. his records.
 Martens said that the Soviet gov ernment had $450, 0,000,OOO or $500 ,00O.- 900 in gold to spend In foreign trade, stating that there was little or no gold in the hands of privte banks or and that about 1000 concerns were ready to sell it goods.
 Much of Martens testimony was by written statement, though he was constantly in it's reading by questions.
