the horses of enc line were circled about

After this the platoons were brought to the
center facing each other, forming a double
line down the center of the hall. The troop

the space between the two lines, forming
an archway through which the two men on

Hundreds of brides have willingly suffered

Scandals, Too.
Japan is not going to come out of the
war without a scandal or two. Already the
soldiery Is aroused over the actions of some
of the army contractors, and the nation is
indignantly crying out against them. The
government admits there is just cause for
complaint and is taking steps to punish the
guilty parties.
1t seems that even while the soldiers were
quartered in Tokyo in barracks around the
palace and billeted on the. town the food
contractors began supplying them with an
inferior grade of rice and vegetables while
the contracts called for a much better
quality of food. AS the Jap soldiers daily
ration is three pounds of rice and vegeta-
bles and fish to the amount of sen rim
(about cents), with beef once In three
days, IL 1t can be got, he was Immediately
hard hit and the cry that arose would
have done credit to the disgruntled state
militfaman, who makes a point every en-
campment of raising howl over the food
supplied him.
The scandal has not been confined TO
Tokyo. Saseho and other points of mobili-
cation have been equally involved. 1t is to
be hoped that the government will not al
low the scandal to cross to Korea in the
transports with the troops.
