knew positively that the senator had
actually made them.
The letter was received too late
for a reply Sunday, Senator Cham
berlain continued, but In a letter
t-eni to the white house the follow
ing day he replied that he had been
r.uoted substantially correctly in the
World, but asked the president to
read the entire speech as printed in
the Times Instead of only a part -t
it.
Duty) To Reply Felt.
"Now that my truthfulness , hs
been questioned." Senator Chamber
lain jpontinued, "I feel It tuy duty to
tell .the. countrj. something I migi:t
not have told it under ordinary cir
cumstances." , I do it as a man who
loves his country best of .'til and who
would willingly give his life for it. 1
do it fearlessly as an American citi
zen who desires to help and not hin
der." . lie repeated he had not distorted
the truth of his speech made In New
York but that owing to the great
rush of business 'due to the war the
-resident has probably not been able
to ascertain the truth and does not
know the truth. From the lips
those closest to the president, the
chief executivtf cannot learn the
truth, not because hls advisers de
sire to mislead him but because thvy
are situated in the same position as
he is.
"The secretary of war in a gen
eral statement to the country, which
was carefully and ably prepared,
tells us that $3,200,000,000 have
been appropriated for the ordnance
department and that contracts fo
$1,677,000,000 have been awaravd."
he continued. "This is true. But
the secretary failed to tell the coui
tiy that America failed to stand pre
pared. "
France Equipping l" S. Troops.
"France, bled white.' he contin
ued, "is furnishing America todsy
and the troops going a!?r6ad with
heavy ordnance, machine guns and
airplanes. If we relied op the ord
nance department of this emerEen'y
land this is a war of artillery), tha
war would be completed before we
ever got enough to go to the front.
Franco agreed to deliver this artil
lery. To win America? Did she
furnish It in order to invite
America?" -
Senator Chamberlain charged thit
the ordnance bureau failed in 1 ft 1 5
to prepare for war when it seemed
ceitain.
"There were omens in- the sky." he
"ontinued, "that America could n.u
keep out. What was the ordnam-
doing? Nothing. It was lying su
pinely on Its back not rriasing gaug
es for maniiraetuf inc ordnance nor
discovering the ' possibilities of man
ufacturing but doing nothing, ab
solutely nothing."
Appropriations for jips and dies t i
make ordnance, he said, had not
been '.ei.
Orrln'inefornrtmnt Slow.
"Take th machine gun." said th
"senator. "It's an old controversy and
much may.be said on both sides. The
fuewis jun has been manufacturel
here for the British army and there
ire 70.000 of them on the battl-3
'ronts. Every British off'cer I have
een has expressed approval of that.
Tim. Amric was prepared to pn
1uce them, hut with the country
ftanding On a seething volcano, the
"rdnanre department was" trying to
decide on ft ;un. The war depart
ment did not even adopt a gun until
Mav and finallv adopted tt In Jun
(1917), I believe, nd then only on
paper, and it t(ll is a gun on paper.
It never has tflad a field test. Maye
the Br6wningeun Is a. pood weapon
but. the tLewis run is doing goo-1
work. Why j not manufacture the
Lewis gun? i
"The secretary of war testified be
fore the committee." he said, "that
in September the United States had
nine Browning guns with which to
go out asainst the millions of Ger
mans." Tie denounced the cry that
investigation gives Information to
the enemy.
flermany Knows More
"Germany knows, more about
America today than the ' men con
nected with the departments, Sen
ator Chamberlain declared. "If the
government would be frank with the
people, then we could rely upon the
people to rally to the support of the
president and the prosecution of th
war," he added.
"Why shouldn't America know
these things?" the senator demand
ed. Some people in the west, he
said, believe America has all it needs.
"If they only knew the actual con
dlSibns." he -continued, "they wouH
give their lives, their. .all, to protect
America. Casual reading of tae sec
retary of war's statement givesj-the
impression that we have everything.
But when we set the testimony of
the men on the ground, different in
formation is obtained."'
Citing the testimony of an army
officer from Camp Bowie, Texas,
who declared there was not a single
trench mortar there and that other
pecessary equipment was lacking.
Senator Chamberlain declared:
"That Is true of every -camp In the
United States. If it hadn't been for
the -ivilian peorde who have come
here"and given their time and serv
j ire we wouldn't have been, any-where."
Baker's IMrtiire Iovely.
Turning to the quartermaster
general's department. Senator Cham
berlain declared that from Secretary
Baker's general statement the coun
try would believe "that everything
! was lovely and the goose hting high
so far as clothing Is concerned.
"But when you talk to the men
that command these boys you find
it i?n't true," he continued.
"On a per capita basis it Is there.
j but not when it comes to effective
: distribution, they simply haven't got
; the elothin." i
I Senator Chamberlain said he pro
posed to show bv Secretary Baker's
own testimony that the secretary did
not know of actual clothing condi
1 tions.
; "Somebrxly Must Have Liel."
j "That Is why I say." he con
' tinned, "that the rresident did not
know ili truth. AndJ I did. He
must have cotten his facts from the
secre'arv. who in tur'n got them from
' somebodv else and someone must
have lied. And that's why I say that
the president has not been given the
truth." Senator Chamberlain passed
around amonr senators his photo
graphs of wood machine guns, rifles
and heavy ordnance used at canton
' ments and asked senators to study
them carefully. 1 '
I "They are of some rse," he ex
plained, "in training men. but if I
had a boy training I would not want
him to have his-training with nothing-
else than a wooden cannon."
England and France, he said, saw
the mistake of having artillery men
minded the senate the troops were
"in the midst of winter. ;:
Soldiers Die; Demrtment Blamed.
fl am going to shqw that, these
hundreds and thousands of men dy
ing in the cantonments are due lo
the war department," he declared.
"This information: comes right
from the men who are on the ground.
They know what thejr are talking
about. I didn't intend to do this,
but in view of the situation that con-
fronts me and involves my Integrity.
I feel it is my duty to the country.
"I am swing to call attention to
Hie statement of Snrjreon General
Gorgas that nearly all -epidemics
could have been prevented if the war
department had been effective.
, Senator Chamberlain referred to
the warnings given by Major General
Greble. commander at Cam? Bowie.
Texas, last summer against over
crowding men in tents. General
Gorgas report, he said, showed over
crowding in virtually every : camp,
and he asserted that the surgeon
general of eminent reputation had
not been consulted regarding can
tonment locations.
Senator Chamberlain read a letter
j showing that cam? authorities failed
to 'notify a family or tne deatn or a
j roldier and that the body came home
wrapped only In sheet. ; "
'It 1 were to nrlnt all the letters
I get along this line," he continued,
"they would shock not only congress
hut the American conscience. - I do
it only to show the country that
there is i Inefficiency and I'm going
to do it if it costs me my political
life. Let the American mothers know
conditions and they will see to it
that the public servants either do
their duty or retire from public-life
In o'fssrace. - , :k- " '-
"Let's let the sunlight In on the
things." he pleaded, "and never feaer
that the American people will not
follow the r",'l",nt Into the thick
est of the fray wherever their duty
calls them. I hope you won't thinV

My whole purpose Is to remedy these
