 The basis of gathering iig- ures in the two churches is 50 different that 1t IS difhcult to compare them in detail. It can hardly be questioned, however, that # the entire world, includ- ing tho Americas, Do considered tho Catholic church maintains the larger force.
 q. Do Catholics and PTOtes. tants ever use Che same build. ing for thelr services?
 A. This practice Is not com. mon but there have been occas sionS where Catholicg and Protcstants - particularly in rural Bectiong--have used the same building, notably to light. on the economic burden. Tn this connection 1t is interesting to note that what was in all prob. ability the first Community Center ip America, tho Union church, ToWnhouse and Fort erected by the German colonists ct Tredericlsburg, Texas, in 1040.47, served as c church for both Catholics and ProteStants. Mass was read during pioneer days in the original building, Q circumstance which to German Catholics did not seem 50 strange because churches seTv- ing both Catholics and Luther- ans were common in some parts Of their native land. It is rec ported that the Bishop Of Nielsen even today shares ths old minister ct Bautsen, Where no resides, with those pgofes. sing the Evangelical Faith.

.ICKES A LIAR,
SAYS HOOVER

NEW YORK, Jan. II QNSD
The veracity of a statement made
by Secretary Of the Interior Ickes
stood challenged today by former
President Herbert Hoover.
The former President dispatched
the following telegram to 1ckes:
my attention has been called
to an untruthful statement made
by you at Rochester, N. Y. You
said: Under Mr.. Hoover Con-
gress passed laws which were
held unconstitutional
mot one of several hundred
acts of that period has been un'
constitutional. never signed q
law without bearing in mind the
special obligation which rested
upon the President to protect
the Constitution.
"The falsity of this statement
which orr z mated with Mr..
MichaeIson and other New Deal
sOurcers, was promptly and pub
licly exposed by former Attorney
General Mitchell on August Is
last. It's falsity has been re-
peatedIy pointed out in the
press. At a time like the present
your action calls for an apology
to the public"

Committee and denied his depart
ment had any intention OF taking
joint action with the league. The
committee eliminated the pro.
vision.
The Administration, however,
showed no such inclination to
abandon the discretionary power
provision. On the other hand. ir-
reconcilables and members Of the
Senate Munitions Committee, now
investigating Americas entry into
the World War, demanded the bill
be drawn so as to make embargoes
on shipments of war materials to
warning nations mandatory at the
outbreak Of hoStilitieS.
The phrase. provoking this con-
flict of opinion, is in Section 2 Of
the Administration bill. It reads:
Upon the outbreak or during
the progress Of any war between
or among, two or more foreign
States, the President shall pro-
claim such fact, and it shall
thereafter be unlawful to export,
or attempt to export :"
Senator Vandenberg CR.) of
Michigan, member Of the Senate
Munitions Committee and strong
advocate of the committees bill,
said the words "or during the
progress Of any war" would per-
nit President Roosevelt to with.
hold the application Of sanctions
until the last day Of the conflict"
If he wanted to.
He served notice for the com.
mittee that it's members will wage
strong fight on this point if the
language is not eliminated from
the Administration bib before 1t
is reported to the Senate.
Meanwhile, q fight for adoption
of the munitions committees bill
was being made before the House
Foreign Relations Committee by
Representative Maverick 3D. Of
Texas. Hearings on the measure
will be resumed Monday.
Further conferences on the Ad.
ministration'S bill and the mum.

by the Senate Foreign Affairs
Committee. Senator Pittman CD

that the committee would COM

Japan Demands Own
Plan or Nothing

LONDON, Jan. II. Il. N. S..
Next meeting of the fiVe-power
naval conference. generally re-
garded as riding to its death next
week, today was postponed from
Monday afternoon to Tuesday
morning as delegates ran into new
difficulties on Japan's demand for
discussion Of her own plan or
nothing.
Reason officially given for the
poStponement was that Monday
afternoon was too late in the day
for opening Of q meeting Of the
Importance Of the next session;
but it was learned q more press
ing cause was difficulty in obtain.
ing unanimous support Of Japan'S
demand that her common upper
limit" plan be the next matter on
the agenda:
United States Objects
The American delegation pre-
scented the chief objection. The
Japanese demand was made in a
bi-lateral talk with the British
delegation yesterday. The Amer
leans argue that the proposed
agenda should be discussed at a
regular conference session, and
should not be drawn up at any
two-power parleys. They hold a
dangerous precedent would thus
be set.
Another factor in the post
ponement was that the Japanese
delegation Is waiting for word
from Tokyo, where cabinet
meeting is discussing whether
Japan should walk out of the
conference If her parity plan
involved in the common upper
limit" plans formally rejected.
The Americans also are in touch
with Washington.
Jap Plan Shelved
The Japanese plan, after first
being introduced, was shelved, the
conference turning to other plans
after all delegations had opposed
1t. The Japanese then declined
to discuss other plans, asking their
plan be dealt with first.
If the Japanese plan is brought
out for q formal vote on accepting
or rejecting it, as the Japanese
wish, it almost certainly will be
rejected. Then, If Japan sticks
to her present stand, she will have
nothing more to talk about. Pre-.
sumably, she would withdraw.

ARMY'S NEEDS
GREAT, HOUSE
GROUP SAYS
Housing Is "Dlsgrace"
at Many Posts, and
Facilities Scare
international News service

Continued expansion of the ma
tional defense budget is required
to maintain the authorized stand
ing army of 10000 men and pro-
vide modern fighting equipment,
the House Appropriations sub
committee handling the War De-
partment supply bill reported to-
day.
In a formal communication to
the House outlining its observe
tions gathered on an inspection
tour of American military posts,
the committee urged an "imme-
date stepping-up" Of Army ap-
preparations.
Criticism Of housing conditions
at the military posts in the Canal
Zone, California. Hawaii and
Texas and of Army transport
facilities were made by the COM
mittee.
California Needs Urgent
Additional housing, repair and
rehabilitation work was partic-
ularly urged at all California
posts except at Hamilton and
March fields, where technical
improvements are needed. The
greatest need for improvements
is at the Presidio in San Fran
cisco and at Fort Mcdowell.
Praising California for being
national defense minded" the
committee disclosed that the War
Department contemplates an elab-
crate program for building up
Seacoast defenses in that area.
Immediate defense facilities
should be provided at San Fran
cisco, Long Beach, Los Angeles
and San Diego. the committee
said, adding:
None Of these areas are
without defenSes, such Is they
are, but none Of them Is ade-
quately protected by long range
seac0aSt guns or anti-aircraft
guns. CriSsy Field, at San
Francisco, should be abandoned.

similar complaint was directed
against facilities provided for the
field artillery in Hawaii.
Facilities also are needed at
Fort Sam Houston, Tex, with re-
Mobilization work necessary at
Kelly and Brooks Field and Dun
can airport. The committee also
said that BiggS Field, Tex, should
be improved since it serves as the
main aircraft refueling point be-
tween San Antonio and the West
Coast.
Repairs to Army transport

AFRICAN CLAIM
RIDICULOUS
ITALY SAYS
Bombings on Northern
Front Cited in Latest
War Bulletins

ROME, Jan. II G.N.SO.-After
officially denying rumors of an
Ethiopian re-capture of Makale as
ridiculous, the Italian govern
ment in it's daily military COM
munique today announced Eth
opian troops had been defeated
and forced to retreat after intense
aerial and artillery bombardment
just south of the city. The COM
munique stated:
Yesterday our Italian and
Eritrean detachmentS attacked
q strong enemy force which had
taken up q position near the
confluence of the Gabat and
Gheva Rivers. The action which
occurred with cooperation Of
the artillery and aircraft, ended
with retreat Of the enemy with
our troops in pursuit.
THE EthiOpianS sustained
heavy losses. On our side one
Eritrean nOncOmmiSSiOned Off
Ger and two ASkariS were killed,
and three officers, two Eritrean
noncOmmissiOned officers. and
three ASkariS were wounded.

political authorities Of Tigre
province, has completed enroll
ment of his armed men In in

pied territory"
Ras Gugsa deserted Ethiopia
to join the Italian forces soon
after outbreak of the war.

Philippians Claim Makale,
In Tembien Area, Recaptured

III BSuINISII E"S0S SS~
Adds ABABA, Jan. II QN.S0
Reports reaching here through
the rain.drenched wastelands Of
Northern Ethiopia today said
Ethiopian tribesmen had recap
tured Makale, the town on the
edge of the Tembien Mountains
that was the main objective Of
the second major italian drive on
the northern front.
Another rumor said the Ethio-
plan forces had only reached the
outskirts Of Makale. while none
of the reports was officially con-
firmed.
Italians Retire
Nevertheless, the Ethiopian
capital has been filled with re-
ports for weeks that the Italian
troops who had marched into
Makale with the native forces OF
the deserter, Ras Gugsa, had long
since voluntarily retired.
Even italian sources admitted
difficulties in holding their line
in the Tembiens, into which
Ethiopian guerilla bands pene-
trated with telling effect. Official
quarters here a few days ago as
serted that all the Tembien re-
gion had been retaken from the
italian activities around Makale
in recent weeks have been chiefly
aerial. with repeated bombingS re-
ported on Ethiopian concentra.
tionS we'll beyond Amba Alagi, 40
miles south of Makale.
Recapture of Makale was ru-
mored in Adds Ababa several
weeks ago, but was denied later.
At no time, however, has an
italian force of more than couple
of battalions been known to be
stationed in Makale, and recently
Philippians claimed to have de-
feated italian outpoSts and broken
off the italian line of communica-
tions with that walled town.
Spring Rains start
Travellers reaching Adds Ababa
today from DeSSye, where EN-.
peror Halle Selassie Is now
making his headquarters, said the
current "little rains" have made
the mountainous road almost
impossible, with spots that were
arid a few weeks ago converted
into deep boys.
The reports Of Makale's recap
ture, which are presumed to have
come overland. are therefore sew
eral days old. The only wire
communication with the north
has it's terminus in government
offices here, and so far the gov
eminent processes ignorance Of
this victory.
ROME, Jan. II QT.S0.-Con-
fiicting with Adds Ababa rumorS
Of the recapture Of Makale by

by the Philippians in fierce battle
in the same area, where the de-
tenders were caught in a vice of
two italian forces after the bonn
bardment, Tevere said.
Caught by the artillery fire of q
column of italian national soldiers
on one side, the Philippians re-
treated in confusion towards the
west, where they were caught by
colored italian warriors.
Against the large Ethiopian
casualties, the Makale dispatch
said, the Italians lost two ASkaris
(natives) killed and four wounded.
The Italian airmen also de.
stroyed two munition dumps in
the north of the TSellemti region,

WORLD
BLAME
Probers, However, Say
Bankers Greed Was
Responsible
BY EDWARD b. LOCKETT
international News Service

An amazing and colorful drama
Of economic events prior to Amer.
lean entry in the World War was
spread on the Senate Munitions
Committee record today, with ].
P. Morgan and other interna-
tional bankers in the leading
roles.
Committee m m erS, VIII o
brought the bankers before them
in an effort to drive home their
pleas for a strict. mandatory neu'
trality policy, contend those roles
were vicious, even If unconsciouSly
so. The intrigue, diplomatic
maneuvering and political pres
Sures that were eXerted as cir
cumStanceS dictated, the commit
tee argued, drew this country in
evitably into a conflict on foreign
soil.
Morgan Role Defended
Mr.. Morgan, his partners, and
Frank A. Vanderlip, who used to
head the National City Bank,
argued they were but pawns of
the times, and that Germany's
repeated insults were responsible
for American entry. They frankly
declared they were proud OF
their war record as financiers.
Through the web and wool of
the canopy that the weeks testi-
mony wove, however, was the
committee argument that the
lure of rich war profits made
the bankers forget that, first of
all, they were Americans. This
greed for gold, in the minds of
the investigating Senators, made
the bankers disregard the ever
widening net in which they were
enmeshing the United States
with the allies.
At any rate, next week they will
be at it again-bankers and Sena-
tors, raking over the history Of
20 years ago, from viewpoints as
far apart as the poles.
One Point Agreed
On one thing alone were the
two groups able to find agreement
that was, that economic circum'
stances might have had a major
influence in carrying the United
States to war with the Allies.
And those economic circumstances,
said the bankers in the face OF
committee charges to the con-
trary, we're not of their making.
Documentary evidence during
the week presented a series OF in
teresting facts.
]. P. Morgan and Company was
drawn into Allied trade at the out
set of the war. when Great Brl-
tain and France appointed the
firm their purchasing agents for
huge shipments Of guns, ammunl-
lions and other essential war ma
terialS bought in this country. This
arrangement brought the MorganS
$40, 600 900 profit, and gave Amer
lea 5000 million dollars worth OF
export business.
AS a result of this. the manu-
facturerS in this country expanded
speedily to tremendous extent, and
were soon in debt to the bankers.
Money Tight for Allies
Money became tight for the
Allies, and with Morgan & Co. as
fiscal agents. the British began
supporting the pound in New
York to prevent disastrous nose
dives in exchange. At that time.
this nations neutrality policy was,
as expressed by Secretary of State
william Jennings Bryan. bluntly
opposed to public war loans to
either of the belligerent forces
abroad.
The expanding economic net
grew to FrankenStein proportions,
and soon, it became evident that
unless a public loan was granted
the British and French their com.
mitments for supplies would be
too heavy to bear.
