SENATORS UNITE IN CRITICISM OF BRITISH EMBARGO Activities of Carnegie Peace Foundation Abroad Attacked by Both Parties. WASHINGTON, Feb. 6 Democrats and Republicans In the senate Joined In criticising the new British embargo on Imports and 'calling attention to the effect It would hare on American Industry. During the discussion that followed Senator Reed, of Missouri, Democrat, attacked the Carnegie Peace Foundation's activities abroad, questioned its loyalty and declared It should be dissolved. Senators Knox, of Pennsylvania, Republican, and Ashurst, of Arizona, Democrat, Joined In the attack. Attack Carnegie Petition Senator Knox said although the American people had expressed the opinion that they had a right to send coastwise vessels through the Panama Calan, without charge, and three big political parties had Indorsed this policy, "this Carnegie peace organlza- : tion spent 125,000 or 130,000 to circulate literature urging the repeal of the act conferring that right to shipping."

"1 think the Pennsylvania Senator should have added," interrupted Senator Thomas of Colorado, "that much of that fund was spent for the purpose of

circulating a speech made In the . senate by Elihu Root in favor of the repeal of that act" Senator Ashurst declared that his party's failure to keep Its pledge regarding that act "had done more to

undermine confidence in the Demo

cratic party than anything we ever

did."

"The sun is shining today, a treat

for us in France," says Corporal Fred L. Romey in a letter written to his brother, W. H. Romey, in which he describes a recent visit to the under

ground city of Verdun.

I took some officers down to Ver

dun and went through the underground city with them. It is large enough to accommodate all the people who lived in Verdun, and at present the French have 4,500 soldiers living there," he wrote. ,

There are rest rooms, restaurants,

reading and writing rooms, ar picture show, and places for the people to live. A power plant for the lighting and heating of the city is on the same floor with these rooms. It is a most remarkable place to go through. They

had a complete water system with

which to flood the city, in case it was

captured. The whole city is built

very substantially with an arched ceiling lined with brick. To go into the city we went down about twentyfive feet to a long hallway, then turn

ed down a stairway which wound down about fifty feet or more, to the bottom. We held onto a railing as it was dark as pitch, until we reached the electric lights, and it seemed as though we would never get to the

bottom. The air is admitted through

pipes and there are big fans below to

keep the air circulating.

"Verdun has been badly damaged by

long range guns, and there are parts

which have been completely destroyed. At same time I saw buildings which

had not been touched. The big cathe

dral has been ruined as have all the other fine buildings in all towns where

the enemy got close enough to shell them. The road from here to Verdun

Is fine until you get within about 12 kilometers of the city, around the hills
