Creel, chairman of , the committee on

ers Monday. "
Creel also took up the cudgel In behalf
of Secretary of the Navy Daniels.
"For five years Secretary Daniels
was subjected to the most vicious at
tacks ever launched at a public official,'
he said. "But, in the light of the work
of the navy since America's entrance
into the war, . if there is any man who
is owed an apology from tbe American
people, that man is Josephus Daniels."
Much of Mr. Creel's address was de
voted to a review of the nation's ac
complishments along military lines dur
ing the past year.
Referring to the air program,' Creel
declared that the Liberty motor was 100
per cent perfect, and that within
week's time those who have been derid
ing it will be forced to acknowledge this
fact. Within the next 30 days, he sale,
