GEN. DAWES HITS CRITICS OF ARMY Chicago Kfi§jr M JWtnw* £?,* for* House War ~n • Committee. fILL N0T.60 INTO CABINET

Swearing Like a Trooper, He Telia How Pershing's Co-ordinating the * L Armlea and Suppllee Saved the I*b' Day Against Germany. , Washington, Feb. 4. —Charles G. Dawes, Chicago banker, declared here thgj he was "not £Olng Into public office.” Statement wOi taken at ad an* that he Will not enter the of President-elect Hording. He hasbeen the most prominently mentioned man for secretary of the treasury, or for governor of the federal reserve board In case he did not go Into the cabinet - j i General bawes, who was a brigadier general during the war In the bureau of supply procurement created a sensation by his testimony before ll committee of the house that Is lnves|tlgatlng the conduct of the war. Mr. Dawes was oppressed with no awe (of the congressional office. On the contrary, his Inquisitors experienced a Eew sensation when addressed by their Surnames with no handle thereto. Relating his own observations and experiences In France, General Dawes (punctured a lot of campaign arguments. Stories of misrepresentation (were “damnable." he declared. Ho tetruck back at critics, who, he said, ihad attempted to belittle the achievement of the American army In France. Called as a witness before the house (War Investigating committee, General Dawes strode up and* down the (floor. Shearing like a trooper, with- & apology, he told how General Perg’s plan for co-ordinating the armmd supplies saved the day against (Germany. His recital of achievements (was dramatic at times. Declaring the army was clean In all bf Its purchases and business meth(ods, General Dawes said there was some comfort, even at this late day, jin finding now a desire to sat down (an honorable record of Its work. “Every precaution was made to prervent payment of extorltlonate prices “for supplies In France," he said. “Evjery purchaser had to have my 0. K. land that of the French government, iOf course, there were thieves hanging (around—adventurers who follow every •calamity—some of them Americana, ;who wanted to reap a profit out of •every deed of a soldier. “There were grafters who went to (Frenchmen with the supplies we needled and said they could demand and (obtain exorbitant prices. They came lopenly to our men and offered bribes. .And there we were needing their jgoods which we had to take, knowing jthere would be an assumption In some .quarters that because we took them iwe were bribed. IJ was damnable,” he (declared. “Then there was the protest from | this country—from shoe manufacture iers for Instance—because we bought shoes In England Instead of the United States. If we had not, the soldiers would have been barefooted.” General Dawes declared the llqul■dfltlon of American property In France •was “the best in the history of the “Thfe British tried to drive too hard <a bargain and their property la roi--€!nj/' he said. “We settled everything on &ie spot, realizing about $850,000,000, and cleaned the record. Yet .congress today still has pending before It a lot of claims from Revolutionary days."

. General Dawes denied that there had been any willful destruction of property. any of out property was destroyed,” he said, “the chances are ten <o one that It wasn’t worth having. Captured ammunition was a liability. We had to- bury the stuff, and to save eipehSe we gave it to the Belgian#^’ General Dawes declared that In all ( his business experience he had never seen any set of men more devoted to l duty or more money honest than those .recruited In war time for the service {which he commanded as a brigadier [general. I He said the system of separate branches of service demanding everything, hang expense, which prevailed previous to consolidation of supply branches, would have brought ruin. “Ton have got the same system In effect here In this government," he •continued, “and unless the Incoming President puts the fear of God In the hearts of his cabinet, unless he puts an ax on the wall of the cabinet room to stop this Independent fighting for Individual appropriations, the government will ne|er get anywhere.” Granulated Sugar 6.85 Cents.

Chicago, Feb. £—Refusal to abolish the national agreements ami to re-' duce the wages of railroad employees by the United States labor board was forecast when Chairman IL M.

Mr. Atterbury declared that the situation Is so acute and there Is such a radical difference of opinion between the two sides that such a, conference would not bring any relief. Chairman Barton said that when the board fnade Its wage award the national agreements were the basis upon which th§ award was made, He again declared that the two parties should first get together and work earnestly for a mutual solution. Finally he declined to receive the request of the railroads and said that a formal decision whether or not to receive It would be made after an executive session of the board. Violent opposition to wage reductions on the part of railroad workers, who are expected to take a firm stand against giving up any privileges gained during federal control, was voiced by J. C.

M, Jewell, president of the railroad employees' department of the American Federation of Labor, sent a telegram to President Wilson, charging that General Atterbury “had not only violated all decent propriety by his ultimatum to the labor board, but had disregarded the transportation laws and flouted existing agencies, such as thq interstate' commerce commission, which have been created expressly by congress to deal with the financial requirements and proper operation of the railroads.” He called upon the President to have the railroad executives place their evidence of Inability to operate the railroads before the Interstate commerce commission. If It Is found to be true, he asked the President to refer the matter to congress.
