Another Democratic move to force
confirmation of all President Wilson'S
nominations Of army. navy and civil
officers and employees was made in the
Senate to-day. Senator Robinson (Ark.)
vigorously criticised the Republican re-
fusal to permit an executive session,
which automatically would refer all
nominations to the committees which
consider them and would force either
rejection or confirmation.
Senator Wadsworth IN. W had
asked unanimous concent to have army
appointments below the rank OF colonel
sent to the Military Affairs Committee
and to include also the nomination OF
Major-Gen. Frank Mcintyre. The latter
case was included because it appears
that unless his appointment is confirmed
prior to March 4 he will lose his rank
In the army.
Senator Robinson made it the occa-
sion for another denunciatlon of Re-
publicans for not considering all APP
pointments and said they were playing
politics"
Senator Lodge made the counter
charge that the present Administration
had shown political favoritisn by keep
ing Theodore Roosevelt out of France
and in not sending Gen. Leonard Wood
abroad with the A. Z. +.
Senator Robinson said it was "a well
known fact that all officers had been
sent to France who were asked for by
Gen. Pershing, and that 'if Gen. Wood
was not sent 1t was because he had not
been wanted by Gen. Pershing." He said
further the Roosevelt matter was not
involved. because Col Roosevelt was not
an army officer.
The Arkansas Senator insisted that all
nominations ought to have been received
in executive session. referred to com
mittees and passed upon instead of be-
ing held up at the end of the Admins
tration.
I'VE ought at least to keep the army
out of politics." he continued. This
Senate should do Justice to the soldiers
who, If justice were done, would be pro-
NOTED. You should not take the cowardly
course of not considering these nomina-
tions at ALL Reject them if you want to,
but you should at least consider the
names of officers who were named for
promotion
Senator Robinson did not object to the
request of Senator Wadsworth, and 1t is
probable that another large number of
routine army appointments will be con-
firmed in open session. 1t is expected
that all political nominations. however,
will be held up.

Near Reading, Pa.

READING, Pa, Feb. 4.-State police
that took up the chase for the automo-
bile bandits who to-day held up and
robbed the Peoples Trust Company at
Wyomissing. suburb, Of $4,000 in cash
and $4,000 in securities, were without
definite clue late tonight either of their
whereabouts or their identity. A girl
clerk in the bank, however, has given a
good description of the men and the au-
thorities believe they will be captured
within a few days.
Entering the institution at noon, four
of the bandits forced the clerks and two
customers into the vault, took all the
money and securities in sight and es-
capped with their four companions, who
were waiting in an auton Oh nj ~"

and Milwaukee, also were In the ma
chine.
TIC robbery did not consume moro
than ten minutes. While the four men
were at work on the inside of the
bank with the door locked another
stood guard outside. A customer. who
tried to enter the bank while the BAN
dts were at work, was ordered away
by the outside guard. Not responding
he was knocked down and
badly bruised about the face. When
he recovered from the blow the bandits
lad escaped.
The automobile abandoned by the rob-
bers was stolen here Wednesday night
from II. j. Raudenbush. contractor,
which leads the police to the belief the
bandits had been here several days
planning the holdup.

Washington, ID. c., Feb. 4.
The Department of Justice to-day was
asked by Representative julius Kahn
(Cal), chairman OF the House Military
Affairs Committee. for all the informa-
ton in its possession regarding the case
of Grover Bergdoll, draft dodger of
Philadelphia, who recently bobbed up at
Eberbach, Germany.

ious to obtain all information possible
regarding the contracts Bergdoll is sal l
TO have with lawyers to obtain his free
dom and the draft dodgers charge that
ne was asked to pay 100000 for d.
tribution in Washington to get his free
dom.
The committee will examine evidence
regarding the sensational escape of
Bergdoll at Philadelphia from two army
sergeants when he was released on War
Department orders to hunt for n pot of
gold" which he falsely declared was
buried in western Maryland.
The House committee investigation of
the Bergdoll case probably will start

ceived word to-day from the United
States District Attorney at Philadelphia
that all the papers in the case were in
his possession and that he would be glad
to submit them to the committee. 1t is
probable that the Federal attorney will
be the first witness.

SAVED U. S. BIG SUM
E. b. Parker Tells Lawmakers
Delay Would Have Resulted
in Lower Prices.

WASHINGTON, Feb. A stanch de-
fence OF the work accomplished by the
American liquidation commission In
disposing of millions of dollars OF war
supplies to France and other European
governments after the arnistice was
made to-day by Edwin B. Parker. New
York lawyer, former chairman of the
board, in testifying before the House
committee investigating the conduct OF
the war.
Mr. Parker declared the policy adopted
in disposing of the great bulk of sup
plies in Europe unquestionably was wise
and cited figures to prove that If the
same materials were on hand to-day
they would not bring the prices. either in
Europe or the United States. that the
Government obtained when the bulk
sales were made In 1919.
His examination was conducted prin-
cipally by Representative Flood of vir-
GINA, Democratic member of the COM
mittee. with occasional questioning by
Chairman Johnson of South Dakota and
Representative Bland Of Indiana, the
Republican members.
A discussion arose among the COM
mitteemen over the question of calling
other witnesses, Representative Flood in
sisting that Gen. Pershing be summoned
to answer criticisms. 1t was finally
agreed that Mr. Flood should request the
General to testify Monday. il he desired
The committee agreed also to end the
investigation Wednesday.
Mr.. Parker told the committee his
commission disposed of stores netting
the Government $S22,e23,225, as COM
pared with cost value which he esti-
mated at Sits 900, 900. France bought
stores to the amount of 1852 goo. 900,
he said, and agreed in the contract to
relieve the United States Of all claims
of damage, including those OF 10000
property owners against the American
army. He explained that the sale had
the advantage also of relieving the
United States OF about s150.oo0,000 GUS
toms duties. which would have had to
be paid had the materials been sold to
other European Governments.
The witness said Herbert Hoover
bought large quantity of the army
supplies but protested to the commission
at the high prices It asked for them.
He added that Mr.. Hoover cancelled one
big order of bacon, saying he could get
IL cheaper in the United States

An unfavorable report against the
proposed six months suspension of the
naval building programme has been pre-
pared by a subcommittee of the Senate
Naval Affairs Committee and is sche-
duled for final action tomorrow by the
full committee.
Senator's Poindexter (Wash.), Lodge
(Mass.). Republicans, and Smith md },
Democrat who comprise the sub-com-
mittee. authorized the drafting of the re-
port to-day after study Of the opinion of
the General Navy Board on the subject
of the proposed six months suspension
and also whether the capital ship is to
be regarded as an efficient fighting arm
of the navy.
The board opposed the suspension and
went on record in favor Of the efficiency
of the capital ship Both these opinions
were approved by the subcommittee to-

SAYS HARDING IS
FOR DISARMAMENT
Continued from First Page.

world soon will be invited 10 meet here
and discuss steps toward disarmament, 7"
said Mr.. Butler during the testimony OF
Rear Admiral William II. Sims on pres
ent naval problems.
Authority for such action is provided
In the naval bill Of 1916. which, while
authorizing a new construction pro-
gramme, gave to the President the right
to call such conference at any time he
deemed advisable. Because OF the war
no action ever was taken.
Mr.. Butler In visit to Marion is
known to have strongly urged the Presi-
dent-elect to call such conference, and
the inference to-day was that he had ra-
ceived definite word that Mr.. HGrding
had approved the proposal. This is re-
garded as the probable reason why Sem
ate and House Republicans have been
unwilling to press the Borah resolution,
which requests the President to call a
conference on holiday in naval con-
struction with representatives Of Great
Britain and Japan.
