furnish the Senate Munitions Com

partment has concerning charges that
Navy officers had encouraged "col-
lusion" in bidding on warships.
At his press conference. Swanson said
he would forward the informtion re-
queSted tomorrow. He declined to in
dicte what the committee had asked.
Meanwhile. a declaration that it
was not sure in advance what ships
1t would obtain from the 1888 naval
construction program was made to-
day by the Senate Munitions Commit
tee by the Newport News Ship Build
ing g. Drydock Co.
The statement, made Jointly by
Homer L. Ferguson, president, and
Capt. Roger Williams. vice president,
countered an assertion by the COM

f1ciently in advance that it began or
dering furnishings for certain ships

1898.
Stephen Raushenbush, committee
counsel, referred to a company office

deal was completed. but the arrange

These words cost Italy money. The
sending of troops to the Somaliland,
the defensive preparations in that

arms and ammunition. in short, the
preparations for a modern warfare are
very expensive.
The Abyssinians who are better on
financially than the Italians don't
worry about such trifies as spending
money for war. Their commissariat is
on the back of their women; the lines
of communications are assured by the
tens of thousands of mules and dom

1T CALLS TO ALL

] Ell Centrans will join tonight with mil
lions of Americans in paying tribute to
|, the President of the United States and
! his fifty-third birthday and in aiding a
humanitarian work close to his heart,
through the Presidents ball.
Mr.. Roosevelt holds a unique place in
the hearts of his fellow-citizens. Ameri-
cans in general have always had a pro-
found respect for the office of President
Of the United States and the man who
happens to hold it. This in itself justi-
| fies any occasion in which the President
Of the United States is honored.
But, in addition to this, not even Mr..
| fRoosevelt's bitterest political opponent
AN justly attack his humanitarianism
md his great desire TO aid the poor, the
lick and the unfortunate. There may be
/ great differences as to the proper way to
provide such aid, but the need for it and
he purity of the Presidents motives can
lot be challenged.
Moreover. his fellow-citizens know that
Mr. Roosevelt is able to hold his high
,ffice only because of years of battle
gainst an insidious disease which at
acked him in the prime of manhood and
it what seemed to be the height of his
political career They know that he still
must fight against its effects
Infantile paralysis is disease which
las baffled medical science. Like so
much disease it seems to strike more of
hose who can least afford the expense
f battling it, than those who have the
bility to pay for costly treatments re-
uired in combating it.
Many of its victims are children of
ersons with moderate means. Lack of
ecessary finances means in many cases,
hildren growing into maturity with Grip
led and broken bodies, deprived of their
light to happy childhood and handi-
apped terribly in their preparation for
he battle of life.
The money derived from the Presi-
ent's ball will be used to take care of
lfantile paralysis victims insofar as this
possible. Seventy per cent of the pro-
eeds will be used locally to provide med
al attention for any such victims.
The remaining 30 per cent is contrib
ted toward national fund which will
rovide the means for research work in
he hope that more definite information
lay be obtained relative to the cause of
ne disease and means of counteracting
There can be no greater call than that
charity and above all charity that is
irected to the aid of children. This,
oupled with the opportunity to pay
'ibute to the Foremost American" of
hom every American can be justly
roud, is sufficient argument for the
lllest support for the Presidents ball.

"No,'' squeaked Nurse Jane. -
mean what shall I Go with the thir-
ty or forty field mice that scam
pered out of the dried grass from

said Mrs. Longears. She and Nurse
Jane remembered how the mice,
awakening from their winter sleep

That's a fine idea,D agreed
Nurse Jane. "Have him come out

over like a cup filled with straw
