^ MAT HATE WO EQUAL.
FIEIO GUNS AIE GOOD
la Talk Before Oongreealonal Com*
tnlttee Gen. Croaler Declare* Amer
ican FMd Gnns Are Eqnal to Any
In World—Army and Navy Officials
Face Quia Concerning Defence.
Lemons drawn from the European
war were discussed before tfae House
military and naral committee Tues
day by Brig. Gen. Crosier, chief of
ordnance of the army, and Rear Ad
miral Badger, of the navy’s general
staff.
Gen. Crosier said the United States
never would need guns similar to the
great German howitzers which de
molished Belgium’s forts, and assert
ed that American field guns were as
good as any In the world.
Ordnance was discussed by Gen.
Crosier in connection with his esti
mates for the next fiscal year. On
this score, he said, "the United
States has no need to feel uncomfort
able.”
‘‘Have you seen models of the new
16-lnch field guns the Germans are
reported to be using In Europe?"
Gen Crosier was asked.
"No,” replied the general, "and we
do not contemplate experimenting
with these big guns. No one knows
what they may come to, but we must
consider the purpose for which these
guns were used. The Krench-Bel-
glan border was defended by armor
ed forts and the Germans brought up
these special guns to demolish them.
Now we are not going up against any
thing like that and I see no season
why we should need any such guns."
"I have understood,” said Repre
sentative Kahn, "that this same gun
which the Germans are using, or one
virtually the same, was invented by
an American named Gathmann, of
Chicago, and that it was offered to
the war and navy departments.”
"There is no invention about build
ing a big gun,” returned Gen Croxier.
"Anybody can do that Oathmanp's
gun was a different affair from this
gun. His original model embodied
many new fangled notions. He final
ly came down tb building a seacoast
defence gun, using a very large pro
jectile with a heavy charge of gun
cotton. We conducted several experi
ments with funds appropriated by
congress. Finally an 18-lnch gun was
built along the lines suggested by
Gathmann. It was tested out side by
side with a 12-inch service model
gun.”
The witness said that the Gath
mann gun was of much less efficiency
than the service gun with an armor
piercing projectile.
Gen. Croxier said the ordance bu
reau was experimenting with field
howltsers of seven and a half and
nine and a half-inch calibre. These,
he said, could move with a mobile
army. At present, he said, the field
artillery is supplied with a 3 and 6-
inch guns. Of these, he said, there
are 860 in service or ordered. He
expects to increase the number to 912
during the next year, and he esti
mates 1,292 guns as the maximum
needed.
"We think our field guns are as
good as any in the world," said the
general.
In ammunition for field guns. Gen.
Croxier said the department had 38
per cent, of the estimated need re
serve on band. This, he said, he hop
ed to Increase. The department con
templated a supply of 1,800 rounds
for each 3-lnch gun, he said, and the
entire reserve wo.uld be supplied in
four years. In time of war, Gen
Croxier estimated, government plants
and private factories could turn out
400,000 rounds in six months and
130,000 rounds a month thereafter
"If you were in a war would that
be enough?” asked Representative
Avis.
"Well, the ammunition plants are
being enlarged right along,” said
Gen. Croxier. “They are meeting an
increased demand.”
"Are they selling through Can
ada?" asked Representative Kahn
"They are selling to somebdy.”
Gen. Croxier said that automobile
manufacturers in this country w r ere
turning out through Canada armored
automobiles "for a European power
at war."
“What?” queried Representative
Kahn. “We are asked to pray for
peace and yet we furnish armored
cars to a belligerent to further war?”
Admiral Badger told thd naval
committee that "ship for ship, the
United States navy is equal to, if not
better, than that of Germany or any
other nation.”
Admiral Badger advised the naval
committee that the United States
should follow the example of Ger
many and Great Britain in creating a
naval reserve of officers and men who
have served in the navy. He insisted
that battleships should not be sacri
ficed to increase the number of sub
marines.
..The admiral was plied with ques
tions. Committee meraberft were anx
ious to know why the German fleet
was permitted to remain bottled up
in Its own harbor^..The admiral said
that as long as the fleet was bottled
up it was performing no useful pur
pose. *
’'The effect of the British fleet, he
said, was such that without firing a
gun it had accomplished its purpose
of driving German commerce off the
seas, of ensuring safe transportation
of the English army to the continent
and of protecting neutral trade wlthlanywhere fa thtrochSlTor
were no rivers to muddy the water.
Admiral Badger expressed the
opinion that it would be a mistake to
TO ASSERT THEIR RIGHTS
AMERICAN NATIONS WANT NEU
TRAL RIGHTS REFECTED.
LITTLE DONE IN THE WEST
GERMANS SATTCIET EVACUATED HENRY’S SCHEME VOTED DOWN
VKRXELLE8 SATURDAY.
Twenty Neutral Countries Are Repre
sented at Meeting Over Which Sec
retary Bryan Prealdea.
* .. . ' ■
Twenty nations of the westerif
hemisphere Tuesday expressed their
disapproval of 'the effects of opera
tions of roe European belligerents In
the waters of thdrtwo Americas, and
appointed a commission of diplomats
to formulate practical steps contem
plating a most vigorous assertion of
the rights of neutrals.
Gathered In the magnificent Pan-
American Union building, the diplo
matic representatives of the Ameri
can republics, most of t^em under
specific instructions from their gov
ernments, urged united action by the
nations of this hemisphere to restore
trade and remove some of the bur
dens placed on commerce by the Eu
ropean war.
It was the first international con
ference of neutral nations which had
assembled In any part of the globe
since the European war began and,
Irrespective of its possible accom
plishments during the present con
flict, was regarded as the birth of a
new movement in international law
for the definition of the right of the
neutral as opposed to the right of
the belligerent.
Underlying the several speeches
made by the diplomats was a note of
warning that the presence of bellig
erent warships In the western hemi
sphere already had produced grave
complications between American na
tions and European powers, demon
strating the vital need of Pan-Ameri
can solidarity.
Secretary Bryan made the opening
speech, pointing out that the United
States sympathized deeply with the
plight of its neighboring countries,
and declared the neutral nations
should not be forced to suffer for the
acts of the belligerents. After a gen
eral discussion the following resolu
tion was adopted unanimously:
"The governing board of the Pah-
Amerlcan Union
“Declares
“1. That the magnitude of the Eu
ropean war preesnts new problems
of International law. the solution of
which is of equal interest to the en
tire world.
"2. That the form Iq which the
oepratlons of the belligerents are de
veloping redound to the injury of
the neutrals.
”3. That the principal cause fpr
this result is that the respective
rights of the belligerents and of the
neutrals are not clearly defined, not
withstanding that such definition is
demanded both by general conference
as by the spirit of justice which
doubtless animates the belligerents
with respect to the Interests of the
neutrals.
”4. That consideration of every
character call for a declaration of
such rights as promptly as possible,
upon the principle that liberty of
commerce should not be restricted
beyonod the point indispensable for
military operations.
"On these grounds the governing
board of the Pan-American Union re
solves:
"1. A special committee of the
same is hereby appointed, to . miMtH
of nine members, of wnieh the secre
tary of state of the United States
shall form part, acting as chairman
thereof, ex officio.
"2. This commission shall study
the problems presented by the pres
ept European war and shall.submit
to the governing board the sugges
tions.it may deem of common inter
est.. In the study of questions of a
technical character, this commission
will consult the board of jurists.
"3. Each government may submit
to the committee such plans or such
resolutions as may be deemed con-
venlnent on the different subjects
that circumstances suggest.”
The committee was immediately
appointed, to consist of the secretary
of state of the United States, the am
bassadors from Brazil. Chile. Argen
tina, the ministers from Uruguay,
Peru. Ecuador, Honduras and Cub/i.
The secretary of state of the Unit
ed States, as chairman ex-offielo of
the governing board of the Pan-
American Uniotv presided over the
meeting. Seated to his right and left
were the ambassadors of Brazil,
Chile and Argentina and the minis
ters of the sixteen other republics.
There was one vacant fhair—that of
the ambassador from Mexico, the gov
ernment of which country remains
unrecognized by ■ the family of
tions.

In the Carribean Sea and at Guanta

Activity Reported in the Argonne
District—Heavy Cannon arte* and
Infantry Attacks Are Scattered.
Berlin report* via London: The
German evacuation Saturday night of
Vernellea, southeast of Bethune, was
officially announced Sunday. The
statement says:
‘‘Vernellea was evacuated on ac
count of a continuous French artil
lery fire which was causing unneces
sary loss. Buildings which remained
stand we blew up and our troops
occupied prepared positions east of
Vernellet, so the enemy could not
follow in this direction.
"Southeast of Alkirch the French
renewed their attack with reinforce
ments but without success, and they
suffered heavy loss."
Ijondbh reports: "There has been
a renewal of hard fighting in the Ar
gonne district, where, the French
claim progress. On the whole, how
ever, in these siege operations, suc-
sesses and reverses only mean a gain
or loss of a few hundred yards and
a slight readjustment of positions.
“Seemingly more important is the
unofficial statement that the French
have seriously interfered with the
German communications between
Metz and the Woevre district ' in
France, for her , as elsewhere, com
mand of the roads is of utmost Im
portance.” t
Paris reports: "We haVe CSnsoli-
dated our position to the north of the
house of the ferryman (on the canal
between Dixmudp and’’Ypres), which
was captured December 4. On the
remainder of the front there is noth-
inc of importance to communicate
Washington reports: "Offensive
operations by the French garrison of
Belfort and German counter-attacks
were reported from the French for
eign office to the embassy at Wash
ington.
“The communication ads that de-
truction of German earthworks, men
tioned In the war office statement,
took place near Thann, a village
which has been a disputed point since
the beginning of the war.”
l/ondon reported Saturday: “There
have been no material changes in the
positions of the belligerents on eitb- r
the eastern or western fronts during
the last 24 hours. Fighting has con
tinued. but it would seem as though
on both fronts the vast armies have
been engaged largely in making pre
parations for new battles.
“Here and there heavy cannonades
or infantry attacks have occurred, all
of which, however, were more in the
nature of feelers than a serious de
sign in the way of an offensive or for
the purpose of an advance.’’
BUYS 90,000 HORSKS.
Italian Government Wants Artillei)
Horses and Cavalry Mounts.
The largest single contract prob
ably ever signed In the United States
for the purchase of horses was made
in New York Friday on account of
the European war. It calls for the
delivery within a short time of 25,000
perfectly sound animals, broken to
harness or saddle, at a price said to
be between $200 and $250 each. The
horses will be used for artillery and
cavalry service
The amount of the contract is be
tween $5,000,000 and $6,000,000.
The order comes from representatives
of the Italian government. It is ad-
mtited that the horses are for the
artillery and cavalry. The fact gives
peculiar significance to reported com
plete mobilization of the Italian army
and the rumor that Italy will be pre
pared to enter the war before the end
of this month.
ASSAULTED AND SLAIN.

girl had been strangled to death. A
rope was twisted twice,, around h
neck with an initial noose. The body
was still warm and bore indisputable
evidence of criminal assault. There
had been a struggle, little as the girl
was. and her face was tonr and
scratched and beaten. A “V” shaped
scar marked her left forehead and a
similar abrasion of larger dimensions
was deeply imprinted ©fr her left
neck, with crimsdn stains.

COTTON FIGHT COLLAPSES
110 TO SI.
..-r’

House Not Only Does That Dot Sop-
^
) ports Three Measures Preciously
Blocked by "Cotton" Filibuster.
The fight for $250,000,000 In cur
rency to depoatt in cotton and tobacco
belts banks to relieve farmers, waged
to a draw in the last session of con
gress, collapsed in the House Tube-
day. ^Contemporaneously, the -House
supported the administration views
as to a trio of currency bills which
the cotton flillbuster blocked .last
October. One of these was passed by
the House Tuesday. It purposes to
amend the federal reserve law to
authorize the federal reserve board,
in its. discretion, to increase, with
out limit, the aggregate amount of
acceptances a bank may make, based
on the exportation or importation of
goods.. / ^ .
The purpose of this bill, now to go
to the Senate, is to enable many large
state banks and trust companies,
which have built up an immense busi
ness in financing exportations and 1m
portations, to become members of
the federal reserve system. They are
virtually excluded from this member
ship now because of the restriction in
the present law confining the volume
of banking operations to an amount
equal to one-half of the bank or trust
company’s paid-up capital and sur-
plus. - -- ,
Of -the other two bills, one was
sent back to the committee and the
other rejected as unnecessary. The
first would have perniitted member
banks of the reserve system to de
posit for a temporarv_ period within
federal reserve banks their portion of
the bank reserves requiyfed to be kept
in the vaults. Administration lead
ers contended that with the sharp
differences in committee and no ap
parent necessity for immediate action
the bill well could be left in com
mittee.
The Senate amended bill to in-
ceraae use of commercial paper up to
100 per cent, of unimpaired capital
and surplus as a basis of emergency
currency under the Aldrich-Vreeland
law was the vehicle of the Henry cot
ton currency plan, as to motion of
Representative Henry, to recommit
the bill to the banking and currency
committee, with instructions to re
port the bill back with the cotton
proposition, was the first unfinished
business.
On a roll call the Henry motion
was defeated 116 to 51. Representa
tive Glass then tried to withdraw
the commercial paper bill because it
no longer was desired or necessary,
but Mr. Henry objected and the bill
went to a vote and was rejected, 268
to 28.
Mr. Glass had ascertained from
the federal reserve board that the
emergency currency would be retired
and replaced by the federal reserve
notes.

So suddenly did the fire break out
when the vessel grounded that only
four of the ship’s company had lime
to reach her weather side. Tneae
were the chief engineer and threfe^
sailors Their predicament, however,
was almost as bad as that of -the
others on board, who were unable to
reach vantage point; for hardly
had the vessel touct<l bottom when
the jagged rocks cut through her
keel and broke the cofferdam con
taining thb oil.
Flowing in a torrent from the rent
in the cofferdam, the gasoline invad
ed the engine-room. In a seconod it
had ignited and spread to all parts
of the vessel, also pouring through,
rents into the sea.
Reaching the weather side of the
ship the chief engineer gave the three
seamen with him lifebelts he had
picked up in his flight, and, mount
ing the rail, plunged headlong into
the sea, in an effort to r^ach a nearby
tug endeavoring to pull off the Vedra.
The engineer had taken only two or
three strokes when a huge wave
picked him up and dashed him
against the side of the steamer, kill
ing him.
Two of the seamen immediately
followed the engineer and swam un
til they were picked up. They were
badly burned. The other seaman,
unable to swim,, feared to take the
plunge and was burned to death
where he stood. * >'■

State and commerce department of
ficials expect cotton shipments from
America to Germany and Austria te
tdtal 75,000 to 160,000 bales a month
as soon as the marine insurance rate
can be adjusted more satisfactorily to
shippers.
“It la evident there is a tremendous
demand for cotton In Germany and
Austria and’prices are high, ranging
from 14 to 18 cents a pound. The
principal difficulty seems to be the
high rate of marine Insurance. Oth
erwise the movement of cotton from
the United States to Europe would be
facilitated.”
The state and commerce depart
ments have-been working out plans
for shipping cotton: to Germany and
Austria. Some of it is going direct
to Bremen, other cargoes to Rotter
dam, Geanoa or other neutral ports
and thence Into Germany and Austria.
The ships will come back bearing
potash, dye stuffs and other chemi
cals, which Germany will allow to be
exoprted to this country only In
