WASHINGTON, Dec. This fore noon, at the beginning of the charges of Senator Thomas E. Wat son, of Georgia, that American sold iers were illegally hanged in France, Senator Frank B. Brandegee, of Con- necticut, chairman of the special committee, announced that the pro- ceedings were not an investigation of Senator Watson personally, but to ascertain whether officers of the United States army were murderers."
 Senator Watson said he was pre- pared to prove the charge.

In the affidavit, Taylor said he did not know whether all had been court martialed or not.

 Col Walter Bethel, Assistant Judge Advocate, of the General Army, testified that eleven members of the American Expeditionary Forces were executed after court martial convictions.

 Communist parties in this country, MT. Daugherty says, have united to more effectively carry on propaganda and the policy is to endeavor to gain control of the labor organizations through the control of the executive committees or other governing bodies therein.
 Leaders Americans
 'Many of the leaders of this move ment are American citizens" he says, though they are subject to orders from Moscow as to their action and activities in the United States
 The Attorney General says there has been a noticeable effort up on the part of various so-called defense societies to propagate and carry on agitation in behalf of the ultraradi calls in the United States"
 "Inconspicuous individuals in the ultra-radical movement apprehended locally" he asserts. "are martyred and propaganda started in thoir be half, not only within the United States, but throughout the entire world. In many instances the so called defense organizations are found to be merely camouflage for such movements as the United Com munist Party which must conduct it's activities underground"
 Propagandists Coming
 Foreign propagandists still are Hooking to the United States, accord ing to the report, which notes tha, 427 of them arrived in the last fisca year. The movements, the nature and the extent of the activities o. these individuals have been carefully observed, it is stated, and the gov ernment has been kpt intimately in formed"

New Members on College Board of Regents Start
 Fight on C. E. Bunnell.
CLAIM EFFORT TO PUT
 SCHOOL INTO POLITICS
Gov. Bone Says Will Give Bunnell Hearty Support as
 Head of College.
Especial to The Empire )

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Dec B. The first attempt to throw tho Alaaka AgricuItural College and School of Mines into politics failed Wednesday night when an effort was made to dismiss Judge Charles E. Bunnell from the Presidency of that institution. The effort is alleged to have had it's foundation in partisan politics and one of it's sponsors, Rob bert Bloom told the Board it would have to figure with the Adminis- tration.
 The motion to dismiss President Bunnell was made by Robert Lavery and Robert Bloom, who but a few days ago were appointed to the Board of Regents. Judge Bunnell S election to the head of the institu- tion preceded the appointment of M eSsrs. Bloom and Lavery. Both Lavery and Bloom urged the dis nrissal of Judge Bunnell with the Snodgrass, who is hmself a member of the Board although there is a question as to whether he could ac- cept the position legally. MT. Snod- grass joined Lavery and Bloom and said the Presidency should have been his rather than Judge Bunndl's
 The motion was defeated by a vote of five to three Members of the Board voting against the motion were A. J. Nordale, Mrs. l.. c. Hess and J. A. Mcintosh who are Demo- crats, and P. J. Rickert and Morton E. Stevens, Republicans. Snodgrass. Bloom and Lavery voted for adop- ton of the resolution.
 Presi dent Bunnell leaves here next week enroute for the States where he will purchas equipment for the institution He will also line up his teaching staff while there.

Bone today on being shown the above dispatch. He also stated that he would communicate with members of the Board of Re- gents urging upon each of them the necessity for harmonious relations and united work between the Board and the school itself for the welfare of the school.

MORE DEFENSE FOR NATION IS
 NOW REQUESTED
Preparedness Plans Must Be Kept Ever to Front Says
 Secretary Weeks.
AMERICANS MUST KEEP
 ON PROTECTION PATH
Lessons of Great War Must Not Be Lost-Must Con-
 tinue Organization.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 8.-Realiza- tion of the full measure of national defense preparations of the army awaits the moment when the Anleri- can people throw themselves whole heartedly into the work" Secretary Weeks maintains in his first annual report, made public today.
 "Plans now initiated for prepara- ton for national defense contemplate more complete state of prepared ness than at any previous period in the peace-time history of our coun- try" MT Weeks says. "We have provided a framework for defense prepared after careful study. We have an administrative body qualified to direct and control the constructive development of the frame work. And finally we have prepared the plans of development. All of this is, how ever. of slight value until the Ameri- can people, who are the source of material for the body of our de- fansve structure, throw themselves wholeheartedly into the work.
 '"ro insure success, they must lend financial support to the limit of the insurance demanded The young men of the country must train themselves to be fitted into their places in the national reserve. The industries must prepare to cooperate in war time production.
 Must Look Ahead
 "The American people have start ed aloing this path and they cannot afford to turn back.
 "The present period, marking a transition from the high efficiency which we achieved during the World War at the cost of great initial waste of life and treasure as the penalty of unpreparedness, must be characterized as one of the most i'm portant in our history by virtue of the duty which it imposes upon us of insuring that the lessons of the great war are not lost, but that they arc perpetuated in enduring forms of or ganization and continuing policy"
 Maintain SeIf-Defense While outlining fully the extra ordinary steps taken by the depart ment to reduce expenditures and re- newing pledges to keep a firm hand in the purse strings in all that is done, MT. Weeks points out the places where in his opinion too great limitation upon appropriations will strike down the machinery of self defense that has been devised and make lessons of the war valueless to generations to come.
 | Step by step. he tells how the new army-the regulars, the National Guard and the organized reserve has been brought into being. The major function" of the regular army, he says, is to provide corps of train ed instructors in order that the re serve elements of the force shall not be Subjected to the excessive dan. gers that confront raw troops" if called for a war emergency.
