SHIPPING DELAYS CALLED /“CRIME” The United States senate has ordered a full:investigation into the continual changing of the government’s machinery for building a mer- chant marine for war and urgently needed. The resolution for the probe was introduced Tuesday and went through with a rush. Preceding the introduction of the - resolution, charges of ‘“red tape,” “inefficiency,” “a crime,” etc., were hurled with vehemence. Senator Harding of Iowa introduced the measure calling for the investigation. The whole history of the rows in the shipping board will be gone into from the time Chairman Denman and Major General Goethals clashed. Then Rear Admiral Capps was named and resigned. Now Admiral Harris quits. Charles A. Piez of Chicago has been appointed. Meanwhile the|) ghip program has been in a qhaotlc state. The keynote of the demand for investigation to which there appeared to be no dissent from either side in the senate was the mecessity for build- ing #hips if the nation is to win the war. You'll find here the kind of things men and young men like to wear. You'll see the famous Hart Schaffner Marx and Society Brand Clothes, the finest made. They're ideal gifts for men. ; _ You'll find beautiful lines of néck-_ wear, embracing the finest silks from the world’s best looms.

Finally, if you buy at, this store, you can be sure that your gift is exactly Secretary Daniels wants a ban put upon the use of the ‘word “Navy” in connection with any organization which has not ofticial approval. He says there are Navy Clubs and Navy Leagues and that some merchants even call their places of business Navy Stores. Of course, all this is very reprehensible—foy everyone knows that Mr. Daniels invented the Navy and is entitled to copyright upon the word. But if he is going in for this kind of reform, he should make a clean sweep of it. Along with the Navy League, which is now clearly his main target, he should abolish Navy Plug, Navy Twist and other well-known brands of tobacco; and of course what he wants---and that he, himself, couldn’t find finer quality and style anywhere. A the Navy Bean will have to go as well.

NO, JUST-JOBS Whea Senator Boise Penrose of Pennsylvania termed one of Wilson’s blasting experts a “root beer specialist,” he might as well have |ncludfsd a horde more “experts.” It was stated that the ‘‘experts” appointed for each state need not be experts on explosives as their duties would be* ex- ecutive.” That’s about what’s the matter with the ship building pio- gram. A Democratic newspaper publisher is secretary of the navy. REPUTATION IS DENTED SOME MORE A. C. Townley, president of the Nonpartisan league, has made a de- mand on the Spring Valley (Minn.) Mercury for the retraction of an ar- ticle published in that paper which he claims is libelous. F. E.

He is here to outline a course and blaze the way, but the PEOPLE, the masses whose interests are paramount, must constitute the great motive power if success is to crown our efforts.

We've been hearing them roar here all our lives. American Congressmen visiting the battle fronts in Europe should not rely too much on the fact that they are used to being under fire at home. There’s a difference. The President of China has refused to accept the resignation of the Premier. Safe to say that Premier is not an American politiclan. They have to be pried loose. If Mr. Hoover has arrived at a decision as to what constitutes a “fair margin of profit,” the soomer the ball is opened the better it will please the people. Defective S e —
