Dawes aid he didn't “be- lieve a damneg word” of charges that Gen. Pershing permitted unnecessary loss of life after the armistice, de nounced the War Department’s regula- tions for silver service stripes for men who did not get overseas, then took up promotions. 3 “Now, a8 It seems the popular thing to criticise the War Departmen s promotions higher would Dot permit us to promote a private or a sergeant who had slaved in the mud, because the department wanted to save a littlo salary. Gen Pershing wanted to promote them, but the chief of staff or the depart- ment or some body in authority re- fused. The result was that thousands of deserving men came home with broken hearts. That ruling was largely responsible for the unpopu- larity of the Army rought about by a disgraceful attempt at cheese-par- ing when millions and millions were wasted.” When the heéaring concluded Gen. Dawes turned to Chairman Johnson and said: +I am able to take all the criticism anybody wants to throw my way, but don’t ever call me generai.

Dawes while testifying yes- terday, thus peemingily ‘disposing of political gossip that he was a likely candidate for Secretary of the Treas. ury in the Harding cabinet. During five hours of examination by the House committee yesterday he bit- terly attacked what he -charged were political attempts to discredit the achievements of the people who won the war. Throughout the hearing he struck vigorously at critics of the erican Army, who had tried, he said, to detract from the glory of its great achievement by picking faws and g trivial faults three thousand miles away. At times the air was thick with a streak o oaths for which the witness frankly confessed had ueither apology mor excuse. Late In the day he reiterated an earlier off-hand statement as to his own part in politics, which was ac- cepted to mean that he would not be- come a member of Mr. Harding’s cab- inet. Even before his views on this Subject were expresse¢ Mr. Dawes sharply denounced the present system of conducting the federal governmen an.evil of a bundred years' standing, he declared, with which investigators might better afford to deal instead of trying to scoep up water already over the dam. Polats to Britain’s Plight. Mr. Dawes was called by democratic members of the committee to rebut testimony relating’ to waste and ex- travagance and particularly with ref- erence to liquidation of American ac-~ counts in France and sale of surplus stocks to the French government. Answering charges that foed and clothing supplies might have brought more than the $400,000,000 paid by France, Dawes turned sharply upon one of his questioners, Repre- sentative Bland, republican, Indiana, and shouted: “It is just that sort of fool argu- ment that forced Great Britain to hold on to its stock and attempt to drive & hard bargain. The stuff is there today, rotting. You cannot dia- cuss an ex parte question 3,000 miles away. There is no use to try and throw mud when you were not there te know conditions. England lest billions of dollars by listening to that sort of talk, listening to a lot of peo- ple_who were afraid of muck rakers at home. They are raising the devil in England now because England did not sell its supplies when we sold.” Mr. Dawes said as a matter of fact he thought France was charged too much. “Had te Win the War.” “Here you ceme now and charge,” he said, “that we shoud not have s0ld sugar. The ‘War Department or- dered the sale. The sugar went in a lump lot with the junk. Everything was_second-hand. We got four hun- dred million dollars for it. We liqui- dated every account, 'and we did it becauyse & lot of big men quit thejr own jobs and went over there to help, We cleaned the slate, and Congress today still has pending claims that date back to the revolutionary war. It was a big job, and we are proud of it. In finding fault and huating re- sponsibility you don’t have far to_go. Pershing wag the commander-in-chi and his shoulders are big enough, to bear it.” Eland questioned Mr. about excessive pric ment and material. “Sure, we paid,” he said. “We didn't stop to dicker.

Quite a lot of the queetioning re- lated to Great Britain. “I_am mo more ashamed to stand up here for England than for the United States,” sald Mr. Dawes, jump- ing from his chair and racing around the little committee room. “It seems to be fashionable in American poli- ties to attack England. I am not in politics, and 1 am not going to be. And I thank God that In a crisis like we had there were no bickerings be- tween the English-speaking people. England took oyer 40 per cent of our twoaps. Of course, Pershing gave them five divisions, but it had to be done to save the allied line.” ‘The line of questioning shifted con- stantly, but all the time It came back and vast stores on hand armistice was si, .

Mr. Dawes is a republi- can and one of the few who have come to the defense of the democratic ad- Tinistration responsible for the con- duct of the war. As a matter of fact, ing men with pink-tea experience in | war time,” said Mr. Dawes, “was a rotten failure. Sharp was all right | but the rest of them were utter fail- ures. It was all due to the appoint- ment of society men—pink tea fel- lows. Why, we couldn't get any- where. We had George McFadden over theretand he did in three days what the diplomgats couldn't do in three months.” - Mr. Dawes also paid his respects to open diplomacy. “Let me illustrate,” he said. “We needed 80,000 artillery horses. They were in the flelds, and it was harvest time in France, and everybody said there would be a revolution if we at- tempted to take them. It was my job to get them, and it was my argument that we could mot get our men to the front without horses. Unless we got them the Germans would break through. We didn't talk prices—we just pulled them out of the fields. Of course, that sort of stuff couldn’t be printed. “What did you get for the horses ‘when fllx ‘were resold to France?” hg was“ask . i “I don’t know,” he replied, “but the: price was low. Of course it was. The horses were taken from the fleld. It's 5y to find fault, easy to say we ve str o e a bigger bargain.: over there and I think your viewpoint would be dif- ferent.” Before the supply service was co- ordinatéd everybody, Mr. Dawes said, was pulling in different directions, “You have got the same trouble here,” he added, “with ten cabinet of- ficers, each trying to get everything for himself, regardlesg of the com- mon welfare. The President ought to stop it.” Mr. Dawes said mistakes were made. “But I am glad,” he said, “that there is a desire in some quarters to make a permanent and honorable record what our men did. There have been complaints, that our surplus in France was sold. It would have kept forf thousand men there trying to guard {t while we peddled it in small lots. The men were. brought home, and the best bargain of the war was in the of that stuff to France. #Now here {s how we sold it. Mem- bers of our commission, including Judge Parker, sat.down at a table with the French. We laid our cards down.” 1 told our friends that some of us had suggested different prices, that this bird Parker was a bard-boiled egg and was standing out for $450,000,000. 1 said I thought $400,000,000 was fair, and we traded.” PARLOR REDS DENOUNCED. “Parlor bolshevists” were denounced in an address by Representative Clar- ence MacGregor of Buffalo, before the New York State Society, at a meeting in the Wilson Normal 8chool last who sit about firesides in parlors and “spin dismal prophecies when other people are out at work” should also be working instead of talking. Fifty members were added to the rolle. At the business meeting, presided over by President Albert Buehler, an extensive educational pro- gram was outlined and approved. republicans occupied many positions of importance in the War Department and probably made just as many mistakes and were just as extravagant as the democrats,” but the blame has been placed on the democrats and there is no question that much of the over- whelming vote in the last election waa due to some extent to the stories of extravagance and inefliciency in man- 1 the war. Mr. Dawes takes the position hat the making of war is not an efficiency job that can be carefully calculated in hdvance. and that where human :life at stake. there is very little thought the money that must be spent to secure victory and end bloodshed. Those who were in Washington in the early months of the war and had an opportunity to know what was going on inside the War Departmel will never forget the avalanche of criti- oism_which came down on the head of Secretary Baker when he tried to be parsimonious, when he insisted on ex- amining contracts with minute car The outcry was against delay, no mat ter what the cost. “Spend the Money,” Was Cry. ‘Spend the money now, win the war, and count the expense afternward, this was the general tome of the criticism, and much of it came from members of Congress, who went to the War Department to hasten .the execution of contracts in which their comstituents were vitally. in- terested. . Porshing. in his official report the American expeditionary says t he could not have done ‘the job in France without the whole-hearted co-operation he got from President Wilson and Secretary Baker. They gave him a free hand from beginning to end, because they thought his judgment on the snot was better than their own, 8,000 miles Mr. Dawes, therefore, has 1 the guns of the investigators away from the democratic adminis- tration. “It was a big job.” he said. “and we are proud of it. In finding fault and hunting responsibility you don't have far to go. Pershing was tho com- mander-in-chief, and his shoulders are big enough, thank God, to bear it.” These words still ring in the ears of members of Congrass who heard Dawes threw politice to the windsand courageously rise in defense of those who, whatever their political mis- takes afterward, did use every ounce of cnergy and every resource to bring the war to an end without entailing to America the tremendous loss of life which the allied countries suf- fered. forces, (Copyright, 1921.) MAY DEPOSE VOLSTEAD AS JUDICIARY CHAIRMAN Plans to oust Representative Andrew J. Volstead from the chairmanship of the House judiciary committee when the republican majority reorganizes in the special session are gaining con- siderable support among the House leaders. The opposition to Mr. Vol- stead by the republican leaders is on the ground that he has gone back on the republican party for the prohi- bitionlsts.

SIX SINN FEINERS KLILEDINIRELA Four Policemen Also ; B Atter Mine in Road Blows Up Two Motor Lorries. By the Amsociated Press, SKIBBEREEN, County Cork, Ire- land, February 3.—Six members of a party, said to number several hun- dred Sinn Feiners, were killed and several others wounded in an attack last night upon a detachment 'of fif- teen police betweer Burgada and Rossearhery, according to reports from police sources reaching here this morning. The attacking party was beaten off after a fierce fight aban- doning a quantity of ammunition. The police, the reports declare, sus- tained no casualties. The attack was on an elaborate soale, the accounts state. The Sinn Feinera had as thelr base the hptitle of Magistrate King, whioh .they . had commandeered the previous night, and attacked from the surrounding grounds. The police returned their fire and the battle raged until the arrival of military and polios rein- forcements, when the sttacking party was routed. The magistrate’s house was badly damaged. Miues Used for First Time. DUBLIN, February 3.—Four men are dead as a result of an ambush of a squad of auxiliary police at Ballina- lee, pear here, yesterday. two of the woupded having died late last night. Details of the attack have not been received here, but it is known that one of two motor lorries was hiown up by a mine set in a road, it being said that this was the first time such a method of attack had been used against crown forces in Ireland. Three lorries loaded with police were attacked here last night, several bombs being thrown at them. The officers on board returned the fire, two civilians being wounded. A con- stable in plain clothes, who was cycling along Trinity street, was shot dead during the evening. 1 Murphy Saved From Execution. The death sentence imposed on Jo- seph Murphy, convicted by a court- marttal of having led an attack in Cork October 8 against the military, has been commuted to life imprison- ment. At goneral headquarters it was said today that. although there was con- vincing evidence of Murphy's guilt, it was copwidered an act of mercy to. commute the sentence in view of the anxiety through wnich the prisoner had passed by thn repeated postpone- ment of his cx-cution. Altogether four dates.had been set for his exe- cution. DEMOCRATS INSIST ONVOTE ON TARIFF Shift Due to Fear of Unpopu- larity of the Fordney g Measure. Republicans and democrats in the Senate have executed a right-about- face maneuver on the Fardney emer Bency tariff bill It is now the democrats who are insisting that a vote be taken on the bill. while the republicans, with some exceptions, are not at all anxious to be forced to zo ©on record in support of the measure. The shift on the bill kas been duc to the growing bellef that the Ford- ney bill, if enacted fato law, would be | very unpopular because it would keep high food prices. Now the demo- orats, who formerly were fitibustering against action on the bill, are anxious to have their republican colleagues #0 on record in favor of the measurc Yesterday. after the proposed cloture on the tariff bill had been voted down and Senator Willlams of Mississippi had prevented an agreement to vote on - the bill February 16, Senator Townsend of Michigan moved to take up thy post office appropriation bill. This motion was defeated 40 to 30, many of the democrats voting with republicans to keep. the tariff bill be- fore the Senate. Today the tariff bill continued be- fore the Senaté as the business, while the post offic priation bill and other measures pro- viding for the government's expendi- tures during the next fisoal year were foroed to wait their turn. With only twenty-four more legislative days of the present session, it appears that speedy aoctlon must be taken, or some of the annual supply bills will fail and the extra session of the mew 'Con- gress will have to deal with them. nly one of the supply bills has passed the Senate so far—the Dis- {rict appropriation bill which is now in erence.
