Deiore committee DANIELS CHARACTER HELD TO BE OBSTACLE Hard to Gain His Attention to Matters of Great Im- - portance WASHINGTON, March 24. Not only was the navy department with out comprehensive plan for naval participation lh a war when the United States severed relations with Germany, but Secretary Daniels dis approved the general plan drawn up by the bureau of operations and sub mitted In March, 1917. Certain Harris Lanlng. former assistant chief of navigation, today told the senate Investigating committee. As the result of this alleged lack of preparation, the witness said, the navy, department virtually was in a state of chaos the day the United KLatea entered the war . inunria rrBonaiiiy I'lUliou. ; Personal characteristics" of Sec retary Daniels often made it Impos sible to obtain approval of important plana and policies. Captain Lanlng asserted, as the personal Interest taken by him In minor affairs "occu pied 'so much time that he never had much left t-o give ns for really important problems." Captain Lanlng testified that .at . 1 1 ... a . . mm w . . th time war was declared there was hot a "sufficient rwerve of 14-lnch shells to refill the magazines of the dreadnaughts and that the bureau of ordnance had to obtain the aid of the bureau of operations to brine the matter to the secretary's atten tion Impressively, enottgn . to get authority to let contracts. After several . weeks delay. Cap tain Lanlnf said, the shells were ordered. Other, (char ge made by the witness were that the depart ment In 'the years immediately pre ceding the war did not advocate legislation and policies that would prepare the navy for hostilities, that when it wag anparent war roull not be avoided the department sill re fused to prepare; that lack of co ; ordination in the department during r the early months of the war reduced the effectiveness of American - par tlelpation and added to the cost and rhat when 'war was declared; the department told the country s that the iiavy was ready, when in reality it was known that it would take at least 100 davs to prepare even the latest ships tor active service. Cntriidictonr Letter lteml. '" Senator Trammell, Democrat, read a letter' written 1y the captain to Rear Admiral Sims In Aungst. 1018. epprently In answer to a letter from the admiral,, criticising the depart ment for not ooperatine more fully with the naval forces abroad. "The Laneing letter opened with the statement that the writer was "not convinced" that the bureau of operation ha 1 "erred In its gene ral plans" and declared that a sur- gestlon made bv Admiral Sims earli er tht the battleships be placed out of commission and their crews sent overseas would, if adopted, have proved "disastrous'' The letter continued: "Over there you give ns the devil because we don't do all that vou want us to do. You feel we are fail in .you. I toes-it - help the morale over there or over here to da that? Criticism is easy an! Jus criticism is beneficial, but there is nothing more Irwcring to the noralo than unjust crtleism and - criticism made without full knowledge and taoogbt is apt to be unjust." After reading the letter. Senator Trammell nrked Captain Lanlng f be did not think the letter answered many of Admiral Sims' charges and me of the criticisms made by Cap Uln. , Laning himself in his direct latement. The offifer replied that he did not believe so. that the letter referred to a period much leter In ' tne war than that covered Vy the Km' charges and his own testi "lony. ' 17 : - .

SENATE WOULD MAKE ANY PEACE Desire to End State of War Prevails Among Many at : Washington WASHINGTON. Marrch 24. With plans for a peace declaration at a standstfll In the senate. Republican leaders of the house conferred today on means of hasteing action of the declatory resolution at their end of the capitol. There was no final decision on the form of the resolution or the time of Its presentation, but It was said an agreement probably would be reached within a few days. Several suggested drafts are under consider ation, all of them following in some respects the Knox resolution which has been approved by the senate foreign relations committee. Various constitutional points have been raised, all ot which the leaders want to meet in the draft which they finally will lay before the house. Speaker Oillett and Republican Leader Mondell of the bouse, held a long conference with Senator Loodge of Massochusetts, Republican senate leader before the plans for house ac tion were Inaugurated and It was aid general understanding was reached as to procedure. A new element was Injected into the question today by Senator Thom as. Democrat. Colorado, who declared in a senate speech that if President Wilson vetoed a peace delegation, as manv senators believe he will, con cress would have no authority to pass it over the veto as the presi dent's concurrence is required to de clare war and it also would be regul- sit to a peace declaration. - Frenchman Sees Politics in American Treaty Rejection PARIS.

COUNTY MUST MAKE USE OF NEW HOSPITAU More Economical to Contrib ute to Proposed Structure Than Build Separate Place for Indigents FARMERS ARE AMONG GENEROUS DONORS Substantial Contribution Is Made by Electrical Work 'Unfi ers on Can Marion county legally appro priate $25,000 toward building the proposed new hospital? This question has le?n frequency asked by taxpayers since the appro priation has been announced. The answer is "No" and "Yes." No. because there is no legal au thority to mak the appropriation. Yes. because if the expenditure of the $25.ooo should be barred, the county authorities have the lawful right to build a separate hospital structure for . exclusive use of 'he aged, homeless or penniless patients who must be cared for at public t-x-pense. County I'seo Hospital Heretofore, all county patients hav; been Jreated in the present Sa lem hospital. This cannot be done much longer as that building mujt soon be vacated. Should no buiUiing be provlled. then these patients must be treated in the two remaining hospitals. Hut since these are already crowded, it is not probable that admittance can be r icured for them. The county then would have to proceed under the law to build a new hospital. This would be much more expensive to the taxpayers than for Marion county t- join with benevolent donors in erecting tho proposed new and commodious hos pital building that will provide the maximum of hospital facilities at a minimum expense. Farmer Are Giving The campaign committee reports that subscriptions are still being re ceived in encouraging amounts, livt definite figures are not announce. YeFterday the electrical workers reported a total subscription of $3-'j made by members of the local Elec trical Vorkerg union. This is con sidered a very good response from the limited number of men contrib uting. Farmers are taking an active in terest In the hospital campaign, icv terday the owner of a small fruit ranch stopped William McGllehri.M. Jr., on the street and said: "Billy. I see by the papers thru you aro working hard for the hori- tal. Here is $10. It is not much but it is the best I ran do." Another man stepped up to the tireless campaign manager and sai' Hilly, will a $50 liberty bond be taken as a donation for the hospi tal?" BoihI Is ArrepteI Thi man was assured that It would be appreciated and used for the purpose intended. "Here is $15. Billy." ald another farmer. "I am almost shamed o off?r it. It is so small." Mr. Mcflilchrist assured the kinO ly giver that, because of the whole hearted spirit thM prompted him to make the donation th $15 was ap preciated as much as If it w?re many times that amount.
