" Mr. Scott told of the early passion ate demands on tho part of some of the Allies for tho trial nnd punishment of the kaiser and of how the American commission consistently opposed them, on the grounds that there was no legal warrant for ouch proceedings, nnd how Japan joined Acricn on Ua bimplo ttand that no tovcreign of n nation can be tried under intcrnutioniil law.

Says Ilcport Ignores lrncts Mr. Pica said Mr. Glllcn's report did not squaro with tho facts In a jlnglo vllnl caso In which he Indulged iu criticism concerning the division of construction; that his charge that there was intcrfcrenco between management and trustees in placing contracts was wholly iintruo; that he was guilty of KrOSS misstatements of fnnts rninrllinr the fleet corporation's $250,000,000 mortgages nnd securities, nnd thnt his sinieinent ot men or nn accounting sys tem was wholly wrong. Mr. Pic, also declares that Glllcn's icport regarding the fleet corporation's check against authorizations nnd appro priations Is absolutely wrong, nnd that the destructive effect of his testimony ins seriously Impaired public Interest In tho establishment of nn American tierchant marine, and practically de stroyed the market for shipping securi ties. Ships were built to meet the ncecs litles of war. Mr. Piez says, not to I'stnbllsh a merchant marine; that the iincrgoncy nect corporation delivered '-iW vessels before the nrmistlcc was Mgned: thnt Ihe task was to build rllips faster than siihmnrlnev cniilil stnLr them, and that the building of ships was conducted in a systematic and businesslike manner. Genernl George W. Gocthals inaugu rated tho accounting system. Situation Misunderstood by Public "This influence on the part of tho public," Mr. Piez continued, "Is in Inrce measure tho result nt tl. wild statements made by Mr. Gil- icn concerning the methods of the fleet corporation, and to the general state ments of grnft and corruption con tained III tile Flshoi'-lflrlinrillm., rnr.r.rf fhe public docs not differentiate the division of construction from that of operations, nnd concludes that becnuse there was petty graft among minor ships' officers in tho vlctunllng nnd repairing of ships in operation,- that the entire structure of the corporation, from top to bottom, was honeycombed by n like condition. "Graft in ship operations has from time immemorial been considered one of the pcrroqnlsitos of petty officers, and is U difficult disease In crnrllcritn Tf nns no place In the opeiations of nn American fleet, nud should bo treated with nn iron hand. "Hut It Is to he resrpt.tril Hint thn Kishcr-Iliehardon charges nre couched iu such genernl terms that they have besmeared the whole structure of the shltming board anil fleet corporation with the slips of suspicion. Many of uip ennrges snouiil nave lieen ninde in tho police courts rather than in u re port of such importance." Mr. Plcz's Statement Mr. Piez's statement sajs; "The effect of tho testimony thus far presented before your committee has been seriously to impnir public interest in the establishment of an American merchant marine, practlcallv to destroy the market for shipping so", curitics. nnd to make tho alreadv dif ficult task of the United States ship ping board much more difficult. "This effect lins been produced in part by sensational headlines, in purt by a lack of appreciation of the condi tions intending the construction of ships, but more by the general condem nation of methods on tho pnrt of some important witnesses who indulged in sweeping criticism without ascertain ment ot llie facts. "This statement is not offered as a indication ot either the shipping board or tho fleet corporation, but it does, I believe, absolutely refute the fnlso nnd inesponsible statements of one of vour principal witnesses, nnd it, contains snmo observations and suggestions that may prove of vnlue. Submarine Kiil Discussed Tho statement then tukes up the faubmarinc evil. It snjs: "Tho subninrinu sinkings were meas ured each month with tho output of J'.ni;"''hanrl American shipyards, and the public impatience grew to a fever lieat at tho appalling- .llfferencc. Two successive administrations in the con struction division succumbed to public clamor befoie tho end of 1917 "Construction work did not begin in earnest until .Tulj. 1017. and submarine sinkin;s nvcraged 750.000 tons per month, English output 200.000 tons per month, and the output of American jards from July J to December 1. 1',)17 was forty-nine vessels of .'JOl.OOO tons! "In the first six months of 1018 inn- l'rductlon rose to ICO vessels of l.OSli,. 000 tons, nnd in tho two months before Ihe armistice wo delivered US ships of 700,000 loos, or nt the rate of 1.000.- flltf! Inna .,.. ....... :..!... .1 .1 " of t pVcInn" Ami v e is! s our ow" urds aml fQdli- Misstatements Corrccleil "Anotlier gross misstatement of facts on the pnrt of Mr. Gillcn is. that there was no record of .10.000,000 of mort gages and other securities belonging to the fleet corporation. lie says they were afterwards found in a trust com pany in Philadelphia. "The facts arc these: The securities in question were iu Ihe possession ot tho treasurer in Washington until April 17, 1010, when the trustees of tho wwrmriiiion pas-eu a rc.volutiou author zinc the transfer of these hccni-ltli.u in the custorv of f'oniptroller Render iu Philadelphia. Ou May 'M, 1010, the board of trustees passed n resolution confirming action of Mr Bender in renting a safe deposit box in the (iirurd 'I rust Co., of that city. On Julv 0, 1010, the trustee transferred the 'cus tody of these securities to T. lMvvnrd New, nssistiuit oomptroller, who has maintained a special register of them. It was from this icgister thnt the list appearing iu Mr. Union's testimony was prepared. "Mr. Gillcn stales: 'There wns no record in the treasurer's oflice of the miiny millions iu trust funds how many millions I don't know. It must have run lo two or three hundred mil lion dollars of imprest funds iu the hands of contractors In the ship build ing districts of the coiintrv.' "It is strange that Mr. Gillcn. oc cupying the position of assistant to Judge Pa.vne. president of the Emer gency I'leet Corporation, should, during nn incumbency of lea months, have been unconscious of the fact thnt there were inonthlj balance sheets in the divi sion of construction, that these bal ance sheet-, showed (lie amounts of fon- rolled and imprest cash funds iu totul und distributed among the districts, that The general balance sheets were sup ported by the consolidated statement of emdi funds appearing each month that this statement gave, in the greatest letail, the name of the bank, the linl anco at the beginning of the month, the receipts nnd disbursements and balance it tho end of the month of eacli imprest and controlled cash account. "At the very peak of our activities the combined imprest nnd controlled funds never exceeded $51. 000.000, nnd iiiiring .ur. iiiuen s connection with titiv corporation these two funds never exceeded tvvcnty-llvo millions. "There is just one. point on which Mr. Glllen nnd 1 agree, and thnt Is on tho necessity of amortizing n consid erable part of tho war cost of the licet. As a matter of fuct the extinguishment oi a portion nt me value already has occurred, although we never have failed to iccord it. Aitlon Sanctioned by I.nv "The revenue net of IMS and the irgiilalioiu, of the Treasury Department both recognise Ihe necessity of per mitting proper reductions from iuconio fur, purpotca jf amortization. Articlu 'V 'ir STVtad 164, itepilatlon 45, revised April 17, 1010, as amended by treasury .decision 2850, Juno 10, 1010, provides, among other things for n preliminary reduc tion on construction during war of not moro than 25 per cent of the cost of tho property as amortization allownnco for III J1nr 1010' nna Provides further that the finnl amount of amortization allowance will be ascertained upon the basis of stable post-war oondltions under regulations to bo promulgated w'icn thpg,. conditions become apparent. , ""y nt accept that ns u prece dent? Ships cannot be sold nnd tho government cannot get out of the ship ping business unless reasonable deduci tions from tho war prices of cssels be made." After quoting from Mr. Glllcn's pre pared statement on tho subject of cost I"" "ontrncts, the statement says: . vtiiicn is piatuiy reiernng to cost plub-n-flxed percentage contract, m which the fee goes uY as the cost goes up. Out of all the Hhlp contracts placed by tho Kmergcncy Kleet Cor poration, Just four nre of. tho cost plus-u-fUcd percentage type." IMcsel Engines Discussed "Mr. Dcnmau," said Mr. Piez, "In somo recent utterances has dwelt on the advantages of the Diesel engine. 1 need only say that Mr. Hurley, Mr. Schwab, Mr. IlOSSiter and nil nt the mini Ik nnp technical department were as conscious ofjhat as Mr,' Uenman. "Mr. Schwab's plants were complet ing it very lurgo two-eclc engine about uiu nine oi rue armistice, and expected to try It out iu one of the Ucthlchem oro ships. "It is well to bear lu mind that only a very few engines of a slzo large enough for even a fiOOO-ton cargo ship had up to that time been built, nnd that wo could neither wait nor take tho chances Involved. Mr. Hurley bought two Ilurmelster and 'Wain en gines immediately after the armistice, for installation in a licet corporation ship. Criticism Unfounded "Mr. Dcnman's criticism, as reported in the press, of the complexion of tho ship control committee, is unfounded. England had mndc enormous purchases on this side of war materials. Her ships at thnt time carried the major part of tho tonnnge, and she was might ily interested in expediting the turn around of vessels nnd relieving conges tions at our ports. Merchandise' for export was bneked up for many miles behind our chief ports and Mr. Hurley's appointment of Messrs. I' rank Jtnymoud and Sir (.nnnun Guthrie worked order out of chaos uud reduced the turn around of both cargo and troop ships by -10 per cent iu a very few months. "The ship control committee nchlcvcd wonders during the blackest hours of fhe war iu getting our bojs nnd their supplies to the front and in bringing essential raw mntcrials to our shores." Harding Partisan or President? Continued from Price One you and insist that jou have tho power to sweep aside oligarchies and bosses or anything els" thnt is in the way. It is n conception of the presidency that admits of no excuse, no npology for failure. The presidency makes its own autocrats ; it is the biggest inlluencc operating upon W. ft, Ilnrdlng today and it will grow bigger as time goes on. Tho President-elect has a theory of a nice balance between the presidency nnd the rest of the government, of a nice Im anco between presidential re sponsibility nnd party responsibility, of a nico balance between the public and all the rest of it. Nice balances are a lot of trouble to adjust. Witness the difficulty which Harding hns had pick ing Ids cabinet, which hns caused him to change all his ideas of a cabinet since November and forced him to put off announcements of cabinet appointees from time to time, until il is unlikely that any will be tnadu public until just before inauguration. A man of more ego than Mr. Harding would not botho- much nbout these nice balances. He would not care how the scnle tipped so lone as it tipped toward his end. Mr. Harding might easily tip it toward his end Any one with the presidency in his hands might tip it cnsil.v his way, especially with the public stauding by nnd ready like the butcher in the story, lo stick u henvy hand in tho scales and let It weigh on the side of Mr. Harding. The new President is to be more care ful not to let that lieav.v list of the nun lie get into the scnles than he is o( anything elc. Probably he thinks un becoming some of the governmental as cendencies that have happened when the public tluew its weight in the scales along with the presidency. Anyhow, ho is trjing to work out co-operntion. the nice balance between himself and Con gress, inc'uding the Senate oligarchy, between himself and ills party without inviting or offering opportunity to tho public to put its heavy list in the scale. Consequently he distrusts us news paper correspondents, bearing gifts. If lie bus not uny confidants among public men or politicians he has not any confi dants among the press. He is accessi ble, ho is familiar, there is a surface friendliness, he professes a belief in publicity, but he does not use publicity ns Roosevelt used il. or as Wilson used it Probably he sees in it the henvy fist i'i iir; .mm,, -uiuui-u uiwiaii-i Ulijl.uui'11 iug the scales. In the minor nspects of publicity like most new Presidents, hei lias not got used to the fierce white light that beats around the presidency. He wants to go to Cleveland nnd have no newspapermen go and nothing printed about his trip, which is purely private. Ho is told that it ouunot be done. Why not? Ih lie to have no privnej ? He resents the blunders nnd false reports that are tho inevitable concomltnnt of publicity. Tin many-headed monster is not alwa'js be coming in his appetite for reading mat ter.' He is the danger to the nice b.il ii nee, a benevolent, friendly well-wish-nig creature always ready to put a hefty paw iu tho scales. Mother on Trial for Infanticide Warren, Ohio, .Tan. 21.V- (Ry A.

Habit-forming drugs nre being forced upon thousands by men who see in it enormous profits once they get the habit widely established. Newspaper reports In our owu city show that school chil dren have been taught to use 'done.' Young fellows nud girls who never nnd thn opportunity to acquire the Honor habit nre becoming drug users. The charge Is not true," sold Dr. Tope, Don't Relieve Ships AfTeclod "Philadelphia is o crest sennort. The sale of liquor is prohibited upon ships sailing under our flag. Shipping men declare thnt American ocean pnssenger service will be driven from the sen unless our ships carry wines and liquors like those of other nations."

And so, our January Sales bewail with about 8000 differ ent lots of merchandise ut less than the prices of 1920, and also with numerous special purchases of apparel nnd other seasonable goods at much below the fair 1921 value. A comprehensive wholesale price list prepared by u trade journal shows that prices of most commodities are much lower than one year npo; but the general decline did not come until autumn. Rugs were higher in October than in January last (but are now much lower), and wholcsule linen prices are higher now than it year ago, though we are selling linens at far below present value. Depend upon this: In every line where wholesale prices arc lower than in 1920, our retail prices have been reduced, and many things that are NOT lower in the wholesale market are in the January Sales at reduced prices.
