WILSON RENEWS
FIGHT AGAINST
'DRAGNET' PROBE
(Continued From Paae 1)
lures committee amended it to elimi
nate all reference to an . investigation
of "the conduct of the war."
"We are oinit to do all we can to
defeat the resolution, even as revmed."
said Senator Thompson after a confer
ence at the White lloue.
"The president authorized me to sav
that he is just as much opposed to the
mended resolution a he was to the
original."
May Offer Substitute.
Senator Thompson said he might of
fer a Mihstiiute proposing to limit the
military committee's inquiry to the air
craft situation alone. The president, he
aid. feels that the revised resolution
is too I) ma illy drawn and still is sub
ject to the construction that would
authorize the general inquiry liy the
military committee into the conduct of
the war.
Senator Thompson also said it was
believed the military committee now
has sufficient authority to proceed with-'
in its pioper boundaries of inquiry,
possibly with the exception of provid
ing adilitioii.il funds for expenses.
First Resolution Broad.
The original Chamberlain resolution
authorized an inquiry in aircraft, ord
nance and quartermaster affairs and
into "condin t of the war by or through
the war department " This phrase was
deleted and an express proviso was
added prohibiting the military commit
tee from intrrtcriiig with the presi
dent's direction of the war.
Chambulain Is Silent.
Senator Chamberlain declined to com
ment on the president's opposition to
the amended resolution, but again in
Oicated that should the senate defeat
the resolution he was for dropping the
investigation. It is understood to he
Senator Chamberlain's view that the
military committee is subordinate to the,
senate and that defeat of the resolu-'
tion, denying the committee the in
quisitorial authority it seeks, should be
regarded as a disapproval of the in
quiries. Postponement of senate consideration
cf the resolution until tomorrow is de
sired by Senator Chamberlain. He
elled a meeting of the military com
mittee for tomorrow to meet prior td
the senate's session. ,
w l.a.
Japan's Intentions in Siberia.
A lull ai tviunt of the speech made by
Viscount Motono before the Japanese
imperial diet on March i( is now avail
able and we have more accurate infor
mation in regard to Janan's intentions
in Siberia. The most definite statement
in regard to the ultimate intention fol
lowing the occupation of Vladivostok is
' contained in the following words:
"Fven if the imperial state be com
pelled to take a necessary action in
Siberian territory, we have not the re
motest idea at any time of looking upon
Russia as an enemy. Not only that, the
imperial government absolutely will not
adopt such an aggressive and predatory
policy as the one Germany has actually
assumed in European Russia."
In this somewhat delicate situation it
may be fairly suggested thnt Viscount
Motono has made no definite promise in
regird to the withdrawal of troops from
Siberia. He speaks in the vague lan
guage of the old diplomacy and his
words are susceptible of many inter
pretations. We may perhaps recall
that the Germans masked their most
barefaced aggressions on Russia under
the reichstag's formula of "no annexa
tion and no indemnitv. "Leslie's.

See That Your Gauge is Ventilated.
It Is Dangerous Without.
During the exceptionally cold months
of the past winter, many deaths by
poisoning from the exhaust of gasoline
engines were reported from all parts of
the country, according to the Popular
Science Monthly for Mav. In most
cases the victims had been, for some
lime, in a poorly ventilated or unventi
lated garage or other room, where one
or more gasoline engines were running.
A careful investigation hal established
beyond doubt that dea'h in these cases
was not caused by the exhaustion of
the supply of oxygen in the air, but by
the carbon menoxide, an extremely
poisonous gas, which is generated by
the incomplete! combustion of organic
substances. It is one molecule each of
carbon and oxygen combined. Only
thorough ventilation will remove the
danger.

Braking an Airplane While Flying.
A braking mechanism for airplanes
has recently been introduced, according
to the Popular Science Monthly for

planes of small area, mounted on shaft
that runs along the rear edge of the
main plane and passes through the fuse

the airplane is flying at a rate of 100
