REPLIES TO THE PRESIDENT Republican Conference Passes on Measures Favorably by Big Majority Washington, Jan. 23.—The contro- versy between the administration and members of the senate military com- mittee over proposals for a war cab- inet and director of munitions was brought before the senate today with prospects of spirited discussion. Senator Chamberlais plans to rise to a question of ~yersonal privilege and reply at length to President Wil- son’s denunciation of the senator’s recent, statement that every depart- ment of the government had broken down in the war as a distortion of truth. Several speeches on behalf of the administration also are planned. Senate Leaders Plan In a series of conferences among senate leaders today plans of proced- use in the forthcoming contest over the legislation which the president opposes were crystallized. Tonight administration spokesmen expressed confidence that the military commit tee’s bills never would be brought to a vote. Afterward, however, it was agreed today not to oppose Senator Cham: berlain’s. motion for reference to his committee of the war cabinet bill Afterward, however, it is proposed to refer the bill also to the naval affairs committee for study regarding its ef- fect on the navy. Democratic Leader Martin conferred qduring the day with leaders of both factions, and also with several prom: inent republican senators. A futile effort was made to dissuade Senator Chamberlain from making his speech Adjourn After Reference ‘Beyond formal reference of the war cabinet bill to the committee, no ac- tion is expected tomorrow, and to check discussion it is planned to ad journ the senate at the close of the day until Monday. The White Honse today gave out this telegram received by the presi- dent from Former Representative John J. Fitzgerald, who was chairman of the house appropriations commit- tee: “Investigation during entire session ending Oct. 9 demonstrated wonder- ful results accomplished by war de partment under great difficulty. The opening paragraph of Northcliffe’s book on the war graphically pictures the-accomplishments. Officials desire and. ‘should have encouragement and sympathy rather than be hampered by constant nagging and criticism.” HOUSE REPUBLICANS VOTE Majority of 56 Favor Creation of the Munition Bureau. Washington, Jan. 24—Republicans of the house, in conference last night voted 75 to 19, in favor of the crea: tion of a department or bureau of mu- nitions and ordnance with a director appointed by the president. There was some discussion of the war coun- cil proposal but no attempt was made to put the conference on record in regard to it. When the vote was announced point of no quorum was made and confer- ence adjourned leaving way open for another discussion of the subject. The resolution voted on was introduced by Representative Gillett, of Mass- achusetts, acting floor leader, as a substitute for the McCormick—Len- root resolution considered last week. Representative Gillett told the con- ference the time had come for the re- publicans to take some action, but that it should be constructive and not in the nature of criticism of the gov- ernment’s conduct of the war.
