There speaks the public servant who
is glad to have the work ,of his branch
of the government investigated, and who
frankly says that the senate investigat
ing committee has not only helped from
the publio standpoint, but has helped
him and his fellows in doing their work.
Investigators Be High Service.
"I believe no, I am going to alter that
statement; X am going to put it as it
should be put I know that the senate
investigating committee under Senator
Chamberlain has rendered the highest
service to this country. . I do not believe
I know- It. And, gentlemen, you have
a right to ask that any man who speaks
to you about a duty m tne present,
should have by his actions in the past
shown that he believes himself in per
forming that duty.
"When X point out that our , men
abroad and at home have to a large ex
tent been shoeless, I say it because u is
true. I speak of the shortage of snoes
now Just as I spoke in 1898 as to the
shortage of proper clothing for the men,

It was not until early in October that
the Germans again made a major at

-Antwerp fell after a 1 days, siege. -The
Belgian army escaped and took v pa pa

Thus th valiant fight put up by King

Outbreaks et Disease Are Tree
I spoke of the utter- disorganization
of the field hospitals, of their complete
breakdown. I spoke of it at the time
in an official report In connection with
the army in Cuba. I said it not to hurt
anyone, but because It was true, and
in the same way I speak of the condi
tions that have led to the outbreaks of
spinal meningitis and the outbreaks of
pneumonia of which the most distin
guished' victim has .been Former Con
gressman Gus Gardner.
I speak of ; that now because It is
true, ' X spoke the truth in 1898 in order
to remedy conditions. I speak the truth
now in order to remedy the conditions
and for no other purpose.

CeVonel Roosevelt had a good word i
tor th navy, which, after the first
six months of the war, has shown "a

haa done its work wall."
During the first six months, Colonel
: Roosevelt said, the navy was not up to
the mark, "owing to a lack of decision."
