ADVANCE OF COMPANY M HOME AGAIN Incrased Representation Will Be Selected by the Council Itself Murder, Fighting and Plunder Continue Throughout the Day Sunday EXECUTIONS ARE STAGED board, charged with j deciding upon the military characteristics of new ships, disagrees with the opinion of the high officers who have had. ex perience overseas in te present war. On the board are two former com manders of the. Atlantic fleet. Rear Admlrals'Badger and Fletcher. They believe that the construction of both dreadnaughts1 and battle cruisers should conMnue. . The difference of opinion began .last rear when the British admiralty proposed to alter the plans for the battleship HoeeLto make her a com posite battleship and battle cruiser. Id effect, the decision was to mould very high speed battleship, sacri ficing gun power to some extent for peed, but retain the defensive ar mor of a ship of the line. The Hood will carry eight 15-Inch rifles, full battleship armour and have a speed of. a little more than 30 knots an hour. Her displacement is la excess of 40,000 tons. Examining the Hood design, some officers said that the gun power of this huge vessel was of little more than half of the broadside weight of the new American dreadnaughts car rylnT twelve 16-Inch guns. Some officers have estimated that to get men gun power in a shin that would aproach a 30 knot speed and at the same time carry full battleship pro tection would require a 53.000 ton hip of about 900 foot length, the cost of which would be not less than 140.000.000. One effect, it was said, of the adoption of the cruiser battleship program would be to render- obso lete all German battleships. The speed of these new type vessels ( would be useless In individual ships, officers said, and to construct an entire fleet of them would present a stupendous cost. In conference with, the British. Preach and Italian admiralty offi cials. Secretary Daniels and his aides will seek full liht upon every les soa taught by the naval engagements of the great war that had bearing on snip design. Contracts for battle cruisers were awarded-In March 1917. but in the case of most plants it was necessary to boild new ships for their construe tlon,. Before these were .completed available shipbuilding facilities were concluded on destroyers and men chant ships and work on capital war ships held up. However, much ma lenais for tne snips nas been as sembled a id some work has been done on the engines. Eastern yards held the contracts.- S-.y..'.i' ' in . ' - r BROWN (JAINS j DECISION'.

The information furnibhed by Mr. Lamar coincides to an extent with the statements reiterated today by Raymond Robins, former head of the American Red Cross mission in Russia, when he again appeared be fore the committee, primarily to an swer statements concerning him made Saturday by David R. Francis. American ambassador to Russia. Mr. Robins insisted that it was the desire of the Bolshevik! to over throw all the governments of the world and in 'their place set up ter roristic governments similar to those in Russia. He said he did not know of his own knowledge that - Bolshe vists from Russia actually were en gaged in trying to accomplish this purpose in the United States, but that he was convinced certain people here were engaged In propagating Bolshevist ideas. The I. W. W., he added, "has been doing it for twenty years. Turning to Ambassador Francis's testimony last Saturday, Mr. Robins denied that he had gone to the head quarters of the Bolshevists in Pe- trograd; asked about their princi ples and indicated his approval of them. He also denied that Re had ever pretended to represent the Russia. Am ine committee he bad heard Mr. Robins spoken of in Moscow as the mouthpiece of the American government and as a con sequence the ambassador thought it wise to make a public announcement that statements coming from sources other than the American embassy were not authorized. Mr. Robins submitted to the com mittee copies of cablegrams which he said passed between Ambassador Francis and the state department and telegrams and letters which he asserted were sent by the ambassa dor. The witness explained that his purpose In offering these documents was to show that at all times his re lations with the ambassador were valued and cordial, and that he was authorized by Ambassador Francis to maintain contact . with the Bolshevists.
