The tremendous effort made by Fiel

tide of victory which was settln
against them has given battle of Arra

net result is that the most violent e(

Hindenburg apparently used ever

most monotonous repetition by Britls!

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 17.?The
t Senate was in quite a temper when
0 it reconvened today to continue debate
!' on the war budget and found that a full
t" and accurate report of its secret ses4
sion yesterday had been published in
It the newspapers. Senator Thomas call11
ing the Senate's attention to the pub1
lication of executive proceedings said:
e "They were quite accurate, more so
y than publication of open session pro3
cecdings. The sooner we abandon this
farce of secret session the better," he
added.
The proceedings yesterday were
largely a vehement attack upon the
executive branch of the government.
The Council of National Defense, composed
of Cabinet officers, Its civilian
I advisory commission and the govern
ment Shipping Board, were special targets
of senatorial wrath, and President
Wilson himself was sharply criticized.
The council was charged with usurpation
of authority and with unlawfully
. delegating power to the advisory commission.
The Shipping Board was assailed
for alleged interference with
private shipbuilding and for insisting
upon its wooden ship program. The
President was attacked for alleged lack
of co-operation and consultation with
- P.nnoTAss.
q The upshot of the entire discussion
was adoption of an amendment by Senator
Sterling, of South Dakota, setting
n forth that the powers of the Council 01
n National Defence shall not be conside
ered enlarged because of war conditions.
A section of the bill approprlatn
ing $600,000 fQr the Defense Council
>. was the basis for the debate,
e Democratic Senators, it was said
afterward, began the discussion by
r. crltlzing certain acts of the advisory
|. commission. Senator Reed, of Misit
souri, was said to have been particular[1
ly vehement. Senator Lewis, of lilii.
nois, vigorously condemned certain acs
tivities of the commission, especially
e in regard to the letting of government
" contracts, and offered an amendment
r to the law creating the eDfense Cound
