He declared the President had grossly maligned him, and he not only defended, but em- phatically reiterated his assertions made in a recent address at New York. Has No Personal Rancor The senator disclaimed and person- al rancor against either the President or Secretary Baker, saying his only motives were patriotic, to rouse the country and to speed up the war by wiping out inefficiency. In support of his position he cited numerous inci- dents of alleged inefficiency in connec- tion with army ordnance,. clothing, supplies and sanitation, brought out during the military committee's war inquiry. When he concluded, Senator Kirby, a member of the military committee, replied on behalf of the administration flatly contradicting the chairman's assertion that facts brought out in the investigation proved the war depart- ment inefficient. Then the senate ad- journed until Monday to cut off further dismJission. Officials Misled Senator Chamberlain detailed in his speech what he declared was proof of army inefficiency. He asserted that not only was the President ignorant of the truth about conditions, but that Secretary Baker also was misled, chal- lenging the senate and the country to inquire and then deny his assertion. "I am going to show that the hund- reds and thousands of men dying in the cantonments are due to the war department," he declared. "I am going to call attention to the statement of Suregon-General Gorgas that nearly all epidemics could have been prevented if the war department had been effective," stated the senator. SOLDIERS AT CAMP GREENE MAKE GOOD USE OF LIBRARY Soldiers at Camp Greene are pat- ronizing the library of the camp ex- tensively, according to a letter receiv- ed recently by William B. Bishop, lib- rarian of the University, from the lib- rarian of the camp, F. L. D. Goodrich The collection of books has been re- ceived largely from Ann Arbor and the from Boston public library. The building is considered one of the best in camp, and on account of its warmth and comfort it is extremely popular. "It has surprised me how many times I find some non-fiction title asked for," said Mr. Goodrich. '"Recently a copy of the Koran was desired, together with a beginners' Latin. book,. which were supplied. I could not find a volure of Herrick's poems, however. The oly books in Italian which we had were a complete edition of Dante's works sent me from the University. This seems to satisfy a soldier, an Italian, who was seek- ing something in that language. I have also been asked for books in Bohemian and in Russian," said Mr. Goodrich "The First New Hampshire Regi- m bent," me continued, is composed en- tirely of French speaking men. They havte been greatly pleased to find such. a large collection of books in French and have made use of them." North Dakota Elects 'ew President Fargo, N.
