SLOWNESS OF DELIVERY FAULT OF MAKERS Washington, Dec. 13.—Delays and deficiencies in supplying the war army with ordinance were detailed and ‘ex: almost certain that war would be de- clared ‘and after it actually was de- clared. The senators declared they wanted specific information and not generalities on the reported shortage of rifles: General .Crogjer: explained that there was a delay-in changing the type, but contended: it had been a beneficial one, and decinred that any troops the government’ was‘ prepared to send to France could be equipped with rifles immediately: SUBMARINE CAMPAIGN ‘VIGOROUS BUT FAILS +Eondon, Dec. 13+-When- the Asso- cigtéd Press inquired of a high naval service officer today, if the anti-sub- marine war was going well,and what was the reason forthe high rate of sinkings in the last.three weeks,” the answer was: “The enemy has had more submarines at work.

UNSPEAKABLE OUTRAGE -Columbus, Ohio, Dec. 13.—Governor Jas. M.

McNulty, Fort Clarke; plained’ today by Major-General Groz- ier, chief of ordnance, to the senate military committee -at the béginning.| of the general inquiry planned by con- gress into the conduct of the war. The initial hearing was_public and willb e continued tomorrow with Gen- eral Crozier on the stand. Later ex- ecutive sessions will be held for dis- cussion of subjects involving military secrets. There is a shortage of ordnance at home for training purposes, General Crozier admitted, but he said there is no shortages ‘on the other side,” and will be none. It has been possible, he sald, to purchase English and French artillery for use in Europe, and he predicts that by next summer the principal ordinance shortages for training purposes would be met. Delays in Delivery, Delays in supplying ordinance, Gen- eral Crozier explained, have been due to several causes, including time tak- en for considering estimates and ap- propriations before congress and lab- ur alterences in private plants. He said there js no shortage of skilled munition labor in this country, and told of a plan to retain such labor, | which may be submitted to congress. Contracts for ordnance let on the “cost plus a percentage profit” plan, the general declared, have been econ omical for the government. ‘Although detailed questioning of General Crozier was deferred several committee members inquired ‘partic: ularly regarding preparations made in anticipation of war lagt spring. and appeared dissatisfied with what: they learned. General Crozier explained many advance preparations, including a census of munition manufacturers, and said everything possible was donc. Question of Clothing. In further examination of General Crozier and ‘of other department heads, including Secretary — Baker, committee members plan to go fully into. the question of clothing and am- munition, as well as ordnance sup- plies, and predict a long inquiry. Investigation ‘of the navy’s war pre- parations and plans also is planned within a few weeks. Senator Swanson, who acts as chairman of the senate naval affairs committee in Senator Tillman's absence, said today that’‘af- ter the ‘holidays his committee plan- ned to begin the naval inquiry. “We purpose finding out if anything is going right and how the money is being and is to be spent,” he said, add- ing, however, that there had not been many reports regarding difficulties af- fecting the naval branch.

Mr. Thorp. State Loses Again. Judge Coffey denied the state’s mo- tion for a change of venue, holding that this matter already had been ruled upon, on the same motion, by Judge Nuessle. The court sustained the contention of Attorney Stutsman that the legislature never intended that the right of filing an affidavit of Prejudice against the court should lie with the state. The judge of the dis- trict court is no less a servant of the people, elected by the people, than is the attorney general, the court ruled, and therefore it held the duty of the; court to ignore such affidavit, improp- erly filed by the state.

That was before dinner. After dinner, Brennan, as he arose to make a mo- tion’ for-adjournment until this morn: ing, threw. across the table to me.an affidavit of prejudice. I could not but regard: that as a threat that if the court ‘did notigrant the state’s request for ‘an adjournment, an affidavit of prejudice ‘would be filed, and for that reason we did not oppose the motion. The judge, after seeking an hour and a‘half‘for some way of accommodat- ing the state, found he could not. a ‘commodate the staté, which then flaunted an affidavit of prejudice in } the face of, a judge whom General COAL FAMINE ' Langer, only three Hours before, had voluntarily declared his choice of all the:judges in North Dakota because é ‘ he was unprejudiced.
