THE CAPITAL JOURNAL PHONE 81 BERLIN IS NOW CHARGED WITH DELAY - IN WAR OPERATION As Chairman cf Military Af fairs Senator Cut War Ap propriations Says Glass Washington, Feb. T. Hurling sting ing criticisms at Senator Chamberlain for his attack on the war department, Representative Carter Glass, Virginia, in the house today, asserted that the Oregon senator has "exaggerated faults and suppressed achievements." "The war machine," Glass said, "is driving ahead at a pace that has amazed the European nations in arms. We have nearly ten times as many troops abroad as the French and Eng lish military missions expected we could do in the time required and wc are training an army far beyond the original estimates." The Virginia representative, who made the first carefully prepared de fense of Secretary Baker in either house, placed a large share of the blame for America's unpreparedness when the United States entered the war at the door of Chamberlain as chairman of the military affairs committee.- Glass took the "highlights" of Chamberlain's address and tried to show that expert testimony contra dicted every one of the charges. "And how obliged to Mr. Chamber lain and his kindred spirits," Glass scathingly said, "will the kaiser and his kindred spirits be for thus publicly confirming their contemptous opinion of American capacitl to fight for American freedom? "The military establishment, Cham berlain said, was a myth. That's what Reventlow and Tirpitz have been teaching. By that speech the declin ing morale of the German citizens and soldiers will be retrieved. Thousands of American boys who might have escaped may be maimed in battle and other thousands who might have sur vived may find their resting place on the plains of Flanders or the heights of Argonne. "I suppose these- expositors of calamity imaginethat by these critic isms they wash their hands of the blodd of American citizens. "But they will wash, and wash, and wash again to no purpose. 'The damned spot will not out'." In answer to the senator's charges that there was little preparation by the war department while the war raged in Europe prior to the entrance of the united Slates, tilass pointed in ecorn to the ""pitifully small appropriations for war work" several of which, he said, during 1915, and 1916, were cut by Chamberlain's committee. "Instead of the war department not functioning as Chamberlain charged, it was Chamberlain who did not func tion," Glass declared. Pointing out that ten years before the war the appropriation for small arms was 1,700,000, Glass, in defending Ucncral Crozier, said in 191o it was only $250,000 and that the "man who now affect pre-knowledge of future events did not increase by one dollar the trifling appropriation, but reduced it from the preceding year by nearly 50 per cent. ' 'I cite a circumstance now that pain fully accentuates Chamberlain's re sponsibility for our lack of prepara' tion. The house in 1915, long after tlie war b;gan, passed an appropriation ,of $50,000 for motor trucks for the armv; but trifling as was the sum, contemptible as it must have seemed to anyone who was reasonably certain that the United States was on the brink of the war, the distinguished Oregoniun had it cut to $25,000."- Characterizing as "vicious pathos" the war critics' assertions that Amer ica had to spend on "poor, bleeding trance" tor guns, Olasd pointed to statements of Marshal Joffre when here on the war mission.- Turning to the machine gun contro- versy, Glass said Chamberlain hud been upholding the Lewis gun, despite fact that. General Pershing said that the gun could not be used fur land fighting and that the United States marines who went to t ranee with this gun had to be re-armed. The rifle delay had been more than compensated for, Glass believes. Attacking Chamberlain's indictment of hospital conditions, Glass character ized 'the senator's charge as a "hid eous nightmare" and said that tjie war department could not investigate the isolated instances mentioned, because the senator until he made them public in his address, kep them in his vest pocket as "confidential information." Referring to Congressman Medill Mc Cormick's testimony before the senate committee, Glass said: "The idle tittle-tattle of irrespons ible camp spectators has vied for grave consideration with the startling im partations of the British prime min ister to an itinerant American congress man who, unable to contain the con fidential revelations of the great man 'leaked' in the presence of the gov ernment's adversaries.'

Until he submits his written report to the Portland Chamber, Mr. Kay said he would not give out his opinion of the Starling process, but he is opti mistic, over the prospect for a large development in the flax industry in the Willamette valley. "Eastern manufacturers of flax products generally conceded that Oro gon produce, tho best flax fiber that is grown in the United States," he de clared. "All the eastern manufactur ers were -anxious for us to produce as much of the raw flax as possible, but of course we also want to have tho manufacturing plants located here." Mr. Kay traveled from Portland, Or. to Portland, Maine, and down through the New England states and home over the southern route through Texas. While at Wanhiugton, ho said ho found that Senator McNary was on tho job both early and late aid that with his team work with Senator Chamberlain he had become au influential member of congTess when it came to looking after Oregon's interests. He found traveling a difficult prop osition now, with all the congestion which exists in railroad traffic and the hotul? crowded, while they are charging enormous juices. Wages, h said, are higher in the cast than here, but the "cost of living is also much higher. " For instance, " he said, "meat costs from 30 to 40 cents a pound, po tatoes 92 a bushel, eggs 80 cents a doz en, flour fd.50 a sack, and other arti cles in proportion, bo all in all, work ing people ore better off in the west, climatic conditions are more ravor- able and living is cheaper." One of the questions confronting Mr Kay upon his return ig the appoint monk of a superintendent of banks, to succeed S. -G. Sargent, who resigned Monday. As tho third member of the state banking board, which makes the appointment, Mr. Kay s vote will de cide the appointment as Secretary of State l favorabio to Charles 3d. btew art, now1 acting superintendent,' and U-overnOT Withyeom.be is. opposed to him on political grounds. On Mr. Kay's desk this morning were dozens of lot tors from bankers of the state recom mending Stewart.- I did-not knowIr. Sargent had resigned until I returned home," said Mr- Kay, "and I havo not had time even to read all the letters awaiting me, so I have not made up my mind what I shall do. " : Sedgwick W. R. C. Adopts "Patriotic Card" Resolution At a regular meeting of Sedgwick Woman 's R-elief Corps No. 1, of Salem,, held February 2, 1618, the following statement was unanimously adopted by the members, as representing theil sentiments.

POSTPONED ELECTION OF POLICE MATRON UNTIL NEXT MEETING Council Consumes Much Time with Wrangle Oyer Raise of Salaries That opposition exists for the posi tion of the office of police matron was brought out at the council meeting last night when two petitions for the office were received and A recommendation of i one of the applicants by Chief of I'o-j lice Poland was read. The two contes-1 tants are Mrs. S. J. Dorsey, present! matron, and Mrs. Myra Shank. The rec-1 ommendation of the chief of police fa- j vored Mrs. Shank. After some discussion Alderman Big don moved that the applications be acted upon at once and get the matter ! out of the road. Alderman Johnson, who together with Kigdon had been appoint-1 ed as a special committee to sue tna school board relative to the proposition of combining the offico of truant offi cer and police matron, said he and Mr. Kigdon had been to see the board but that the board had put them off and j said it would appoint a committee to meet with them. Mr. Johnson stated 1 that was the last he has ever heard of i it. Mr. Kigdon expressed himself as of j the opinion thore was no use waiting any longer and Keeping things up iu tho air. His motion to act upon the mat- j tor at once carried and ballots were prepared for the voting. Just about this time the council dis covered it was out of order and would have to postpone the balloting until another matter was attended to. After said matter was duly disposed of tho question of selecting a police matrou was, again taken up. Iu the interval, however, some reactionary back-firing antics had taken place in the brain ot Alderman Simeral and he moved that the election of matron De postponed till another meeting. xLe was called upon to give his reasons and stated he tuought it would be well to wait a little longer to Bee if the two offices could be con solidated. On second consideration th majority of the council thought tho same way, aud his motion to postpouw carried by a vote of 0 to 4. Reconsiders Salary Kaise Aldirman Johnson introduced a reso lution that the matter of salaries of unofficial officers of the city be placed in the hands of the committee on ac counts aud current expenses, said com mittee to revise such salaries and make out au equitable scale, of wages to be received by the employes ot eaca do partment. Motion carried unanimously Simeral then moved that tue council reconsider its action at tho lust session when it raised the salaries ot the em ployes of the street department and lelt the salaries of the members of the other departments unchanged, and place tue wages of the street employes back on the old schedule. Alderman Elliott, of the street committee, arose and suid he strongly disapproved of the action He said two of tue employes of the de partment had already quit because the council had delayed so long iu raising their. wages to where they were at pre sent, and asserted that if the council went ahead and lowered the wages again half the force would quit and the street department would be demoralized. Al derman McClellan said that this thing of each department getting up at every meeting and attempting to have the wages of its own particular department raised without regard to the wages of other departments was becoming a joko aud he would like to see it stopped, lie questioned whether Bimeral was pros ent at the last meeting when previous action on the street department had been taken. Simeral asserted he was present. Johnson moved that resolution to raise said wages uo noi uuopieu. Chairman Unruh stated tho resolution had been already adopted at the lust meeting and asked Johnson just what he meant. Mayor Kcyes then started to mako a hasty explanation to Johnson, and Aldermuu Wilson, with a nuscnev ions irriu. moved tiiat all consideration of the ordinance be indefinitely post poned and the wages put back to their old schedule. The motion carried 8 to 2. Alderman Elliott took the floor nn mediately and asserted that he wished to bo relieved of all further responsi bility and connection whatever with tho street department. "Life's too short in give your hard work and time to the city's business and then come up hera and have this kind of work go on," he said. "I am out of it, completely and altogether." Mayor Kcyes took the floor and ad ministered oil to the troubled waters. He stated that Elliott and the streo committee had cut down the help and expense of their department and had worked hard and faithfully at their du ties and that he did not think the coun cil had done the right thing. Elliott was firm at the close of the meeting that he "was done with it".
