A notice was posted outside the con-

HEADQUARTERS CO.
men MAXIM G USE
OF DRILL EQUIPMENT

Some idea of the work which they
must study at drill and handle in
the field was obtained Wednesday
night b. the members OF the Head
quarters Company, Seth Infantry
Brigade. The boys have been handi-
capped until recently By the size of
their ar1nory and because of the lack
of room Il large amount of apparatus
belonging to the company has been
kept in storage. Lacking that APP
pnratls, little practical work could
be done by the company.
Having moved to q new armory on
Grove street near the building hous-
ing the adjutant generals depart
mcnt, where they have much more
room than formerly. part of the,
equipment which has been in storage
has been issued to the company and
practical work has superseded the
theoretical work Of former drills.
At the regular drill held last night,
a group of the boys passed the eve
ming installing and operating field
switch board and field telephones.
There were four phones running
through the switch board which We're
installed IN various rooms in the
armory and the boys We're given 81
chance to get used to the actual OPP
aration of both the phones and the
switch board.
In the main room of the armory
several more men were busy with
brightly colored flags, practicing wig
wag signaling. Still another group
studied may reading by the aid OF
ComDaSSes.
When the company receives its full
equipment there will be among other
things n powerful wireless sending
set and Il fine receiving set. These
sets will be installed in separate
rooms on the second floor of the
armory and will be operated by mem
bers of the outfit who understand
wireless work.
Various men will be detailed to
take up communication work Of diff
fercnt sorts and will be especially
trained to function in their particu-
lar line. Nearly every man in the
company will have some special duty
to perform and many of the men re-
ccivc extra pay as specialists.

to Congressional Probe

Washington. Feb. title con-
troversy between the treasury and
Charles Il. Brewer, Il department of
justice attorney, over the lattcr's
charges of bond duplication il the
bureau OF engraving and printing
threatened tonight to lead to con-
gressional investigation. Some
house members, never fully satisfied
with the manner IN which the admin
istration closed the incident of the
dismissal by President Harding of
twenty eight officials of the bur-
eau, were prepared TO revive the
whole story and make it a matter
OF permanent record.
Mr.. Brewer exhibited his "evi-
denCe" of alleged duplication of gov
ernmcnt securities to II group of
house members late today. showing
them, it was said, two safe deposit
boxes filled with government bonds
i'll the preparation of which he de-
clarCd. lie had evidence of irreeulari-
ties. The developments today came
after Mr.. Brewer had conferred with
the house members last night at
meeting called by Representative
King, Republican, Illinois. and at
which. they said, Mr.. Brewer in
formed them in detail of the results
OF his investigation, report on
which already has been turned over
10 Secretary Mellon.
Mr.. Mellon has said repeatedly
that there have been Implications in
the numbering OF bonds ut the bur-
eau. but at no time has there ever
been a duplicat ton in the debt of the
government through errors. This
statement was reiterated tonight by
Enthusiastically Winston, who added
that some errors We're bound to oc-
cur in the printing of more than f00.-
100000 copies of federal certificates
since the opening OF the world war
Nj. Brewer. who was q department
of justice attorney. was designated
by President Harding to make an in
qliry into the bureaus affairs, filed
suit yesterday to restrain the treas
ury from interfering with his pos
session of the securities shown to-
day TO the house delegation. He ac-
Cused the treasury Of an effort TO
destroy his evidence of the alleged
irregularities. but the charge was de-
MED by Mr.. Winston.
The. under secretary said he had
requested return of the securities. the
property Of the treasury and held
by Mr.. Brewer fo9 purposes of his
investigation in order to verify
through examination of the bonds
statements made in the Brewer re-
port. The trea sury. he said. was in
tercstcd merely in tracing further
the charges OF Irregularities.

the Soviets and the Communists.
Referring to Germany. the speaker
illustrated the harm which has come
from the Juggling of that country S
iinanceS--the loss OF money the de-
probation of the mark TO the vanish
ing point. the occupa ton of the Ruhr
region by the French 10 enforce pay

lnent may be truly representative OF
