Mr. Hoover urged the adyisabiIity
OF Congress authorizing the credit
asked. at the same time serving notice
on the world that this would be "the
last time"
Mr.. Hoover pointed out that the
extension of additional credits for

time will secure the money already
advanced by this Government to the
nations OF Central Europe. The

be able 10 feed herself this year. He
expressed himself as being opposed

legations incurred by European ma
lions as a result OF political condi-
tions.
"if any countries over there want
to maintain such conditions they
should pay for them" Mr.. Hoover told
the committee.
Mr.. Hoover said that from $4,000,

WOOD CAN STAY IN ARMY
DURING RACE, BAKER SAYS
May Apply for Leave Of ABSENCE to
Give More Time Ia B..
a.-.-- Campaign.

Mai Gen. Leonard Wood, candidate
for the Presidency on the Republican
ticket. can remain in the army until
his possible election or inauguration
as President, n he so desires, Secre-
tary Baker made plain today.
Baker suggested that should Wood
enter into such an octive campaign
that his duties as commonder OF the
Central Department of the Army
might be neglected. he could apply
for leave. This leaves Wood free TO
hold his army post until his possible
election or to continue in the service
should he be. defeated.
This ottitude of Boxers is due 10 Il
desire to give Wood an a absoluteiy
free rein1 in his candidocy for Pres
ident, in order that the Wor Deport-
ment cannot be charged with parti-
san political action.

niteIy excluded Article X and the
Monroe doctrine from negotiation.
The McKellar-Kendrick group noti'
ned Lodge today that they are sure
OF thirty-five Democratic votes for
their reservations, and that several
other Democrats are sympathetic: at
the same time they acknowledged
that not a single Democrat of the
thirty-fve has actually been pledged
to their program.
Republican "irreconcilables" today
said they scent a Democratic plot
In the Democrats activity for COM
promise. According to the "irrecon-
ciliables'" view, the Democrats are
trying to get enough votes, by com
biping with Republican mild reserva-
tionists, tor make a majority OF the
Senate. .--s,.n
Then, according TO the "irreconcila-
bles," the coalition will put to vote
the compromise proposals agreed
upon, even though Lodge and his
supporters should not approve them.
The Lodge reservationists and "irrec-
oncilables" would then prevent rati-
fication, and Democrats could charge
Lodge and his group with entire re-
sponsibility for failure of the Senate
to act.
Lodge meets compremisers with as
surances OF entire willingness to ne
gotiate. Some Democrats, however,
insist Lodge is merely keeping up
appearances" and is really doing
nothing to help ratification.

Mr.. Clayton told the committee that

The next step in Senate negoti-

A Joint meeting of Democrats and

y Those behind this plan believe ne

where free Interchange OF views In
q fbi-partisan conference of Senators
honestly seeking ratification would
do much to unity the treaty's real
friends.
The reason the conference may be
delayed until after the Democrats
choose their leader Thursday Is that
some Senators think that II Under

,prove much more energetic in behalf
tos compromise than Senator Hitch
sock, the acting leader, and Under

child, one-third savage, and one-third
shell-game men"
Col. Charles c. Lancaster. of the
Brightwood Citizens Association,
first brought this charge against DR..
Van Schaick in attempting to prove
the temperamental unfitness of the
preacher for public office. The Bruce
case again will be q storm center at
today's hearings, especially il DR..
Van Schaick attempts to take the
stand in his own defense.
Plans Thsreush Probe.
Senator Sherman intends to so
fully into the Bruce case and all the
charges that have grown out of it.
The charge concerning the Bruce
investigation was first made by Rev.
III. j. Callis. q colored minister, and
later by Mrs. +. s. Tanner, president
of the Colored Parents League, and
DR.. c. NJ. Tanner, also colored, pastor
Of the Metropolitan A. NJ z. Church.
Rev. Calls Characterized the Bruce
case as a "fake." charged that the
Board of Education had formed its
opinion before the hearings. and at
tacke ed DR.. Van Schaick for his al
legged letter in which he criticised the
colored people Of the District.
Aside from the Bruce case, the next
most important matter that came up
at yesterdays hearings was DR.. Van
Schaick's attitude in regard to the
fight to oppose the erection of the
Municipal Hospital at Fourteenth and
Upshur streets northwest. George
Finch, president of the Pincy Branch
Citizens Association, declared that
DR.. Van Schaick's attacks upon the
residents of Piney Branch at that
time were i'll becoming a preacher
and demonstrated an unfairness of
spirit that would not be beneficial to
the District should he be confirmed
as Commissioner.
Attacks "Criticisnas.,
DR.. Van Schaick, he claimed, re:
ferred TO a mass meeting May I, 1915,
at the District building. at which pro-
tests were made against the proposed
site of the hospital, as showing "a
mob spirit" and 'hysterical" views.
These criticisms were made, IL Is
claimed, in an address before the Mon
day Evening Club.
Later, Nhen the Piney Branch Citi-
nens' Association withdrew it's sup
port to the Associated Charities, DR..
Van Schaick is said to have put them
in the position of making war on
the poor"
"If DR.. Van Schsick sees a mob
spirit and hysteria in the meeting
and attempts to put us in the position
OF making war on the poor, and In
the attitude OF poisoning wells, what
consideration may we expect of him
when we 20 before him as Commits
sioner7" Mr.. Finch asked.
1t IS possible that before the hear
ings are closed, George Il. Hamilton,
Capt. James r. oyster and william
r. GaIliher, former members Of the
Board OF Educstion, will be called to
testify. while Senator sherman did
not say he would call them, he did
say that he would take the matter
under consideration.
Their testimony IL desired by, the
witnesses who are sppesrins against
Dr. Van schsick, in order to shed
more llsht on school Affairs. They
claim that DIT. vsn Schsick's high
handed methods were responsible for
their r.sisrine from the board.
