Preachers should make a practice of

was a certain cure for nervous pros

DEFENDS WILSON RULE
Vrooman Says Financiers Are Trying
to Discredit Administration.

st. Louis, Mo-, Nov. 18.-In strong
defense of the national administration
Assistant Secretary of Agriculture
Vrooman declared here Wednesday
night that paid advocates and walk
ing delegates of high finance are go
ing about the country attempting to
discredit the Wilson administration by
saying that the various departments
of government are throttIing business
by too drastic regulation" The de-
partment of agriculture, he said, is
spending less than twenty per cent of
its. budget in its regulatory duties
while the other eighty per cent is be-
ing spent for purely constructive
work. He denounced merchants
spreading a ''hard times propaganda"
and urged the members of the bust
ness mems league of St. Louis to
separate themselves from "these par
asites of business whose only thought
is a petty partisan gain for them
selves. HE declared that if all Amer
lean farmers applied the scientific
methods expounded by his depart
ment and agriculture schools, the
production of wheat and corn could
be increased $12,000,000 each grow
ing day.

in Chetopa burned My wife is sick
in bed and unable to leave the home.
If I could get back to Chetopat have
friends but I haven't enough money
to 80 there"
Told to Return.
Department Commander Meek told
Baker to go back to the home and
assured him protection. His dis
charge from the home will be investi-
gated.
Another complaint which came to
the board was that touching the case
of Thomas Hunt, also ordered to leave
on an INSTRUMENTATION charge. Hunts
wife is an invalid and has for several
years suffered from paralysis. Her
% husband wheels her about the SOL
diers' home grounds in an invalid's
chair. But, il was charged, Hunt
signed a petition protesting against
the treatment accorded by the state
administration. For that reason he
was deemed guilty of characterization.
Meek and his staff, however, will look
after Hunt and his wife. They will
interfere if the state seeks to enforce
its custer order against the man be-
cause he signed n petition.
The notice posted on the home bull
letin board prohibiting the circulation
of petitions without the consent of
the home commander has been with
drawn. When the newspapers were
notified that the order had been
posted, it was torn down. But the
investigation Will include probe into
the rights of the managing. officers
of the home to issue this order.
Worse Than Slaves.
Il want to ask you if you deem
the home in its present condition a
desirable place for aged veterans and
their wives to spend their declining
days." G. N. Brassfield. assistant ad-
jutant general of the state G. y. r.,
asked of a grey haired inmate of the
home.
The old man arose from his chair
with the aid of q cane and his voice
trembled as he declared:
mo sir. No sir We are worse than
the slaves before the war. We are
herded and driven like cattle and it
isn't a home. It's a hell But there
isn't any other place to go"
Shortly before the commission ar
rived in Dodge City, Miss Nellie Rey-
nolds left for her home in Chicago
her aged grandfather, according to
her statement to a newspaper man.
The young woman stated that she had
come to Dodge City to help care for
the officers of the homes refused to
permit her to remain on the grounds,
according to her story.
From a score of inmates of the
home came protests concerning a re-
cent speech by ]. n. Harrison, for
1ner state department commander and
at present a member of the board of
managers of the home. Col. IIarri-
son was accused by the inmates with
the delivery of u speech which was
viewed as highly insulting by many
of the old soldiers. According to enc
statement to the investigating COM
rnittee Col. Harrison declared hell
is too good for you,' in referring TO
persons who signed a protest sent 20

Two Salaries to One Family.
Investigation by the committee re-
vealed the fact that Mrs. S. S. Martin,
wife of the commander at the home,
is also on the state pay roll rs an CT
ficer of the institution Thus two
salaries are being paid to members of
the same family for work in the same
institution. This condition, one mem
Der of the commission stated, was re-
garded by him as fragrant viola
ton of the state law and would doubt
less be so held when a report of con-
ditions was filed.
Another complaint filed with the in
VeStigating committee concerned a
woman, the wife of a Civil war veter-
an, who had been employed as a nurse
at the home. When a change in the
management of the institution came in
July, the woman is said to have been
summarily discharged. At the time,
the complainant said, the woman was
receiving a salary of $25 a month, but
had not received her pay for two
months.
When the change came, the woman
received a warrant for 1854, as salary
in full. She was told that her services
were not needed and that no more
money would be paid her. The case
is being investigated.
The investigation may not be con-
cluded before Friday night. The
probe is being conducted by the state
department of the G. A. r. under the
personal direction of Commander G.
A. Meek, assisted by G. NJ. Brassfield,
assistant adjutant general, and Thomas
James, senior vice commander.

An investigation of the books and
records of the home is being made to-
day by Floyd Baker, bookkeeper for

the fact that the majority of the for
mer employees of the home were dis
charged by the present management,
the records of the institution are in an
uncertain condition and Baker will

SERB Tide TURNED



Athens newspapers the French won a
striking victory over the Bulgarians
on the Tithirkowo-Sohevo-
va front. The battle was waged for
two days. The French were greatly
outnumbered, but used their three
inch guns with great effect. The Bull
garians are said to have sustained
such heavy losses they gave up the
fight and retired northward to the
right bank of the Vardar river.
There has been violent cannonadinG
in the Forest of Gievenchy in the Ar
tots district, according to tho an
nouncement given out by the French
war office this afternoon.
Serbian Position Tight.
London, Nov. 18.-Serbia's position
is growing steadily worse, according
to information obtained by the Reuter-
correspondent at Athens. The popu-
lation of Monastir is fleeing to Filrina,
sixteen miles south, across the Greek
border, and Saloniki Prilep (Prelepe)
is expected to fall as soon as the Bull
garian forces arrive there from Te-
tovo. The danger in being surround
ed by BulgarS coming from the west
towards Prilep upset the Serbian de-
tense at Bahama Pass. Desperate
fighting is expected around Prilep and
to the south of that point.
A Bulgarian force is advancing from
Krushevoll to cut off the Serbian line
of retreat towards Kresna and the
Albanian IrOnI1er. AT the northern
front the Serbians are fighting des-
perately, contesting every inch of ter
ritory.
Italians Take Stronghold.
Rome, Nov. 1S.-A victory for the
Italian forces which are attempting to
capture Gorilla was announced last
night by the war office. A strong
Austrian position northwest of the city
was captured. The statement follows:
There is great activity on the part
of the artillery on both sides all along
the front. The enemy's artillery seeks
not only to strike at our defenses, but
to destroy systematically the country
conquered by us even where there are
no effective garrisons of our troops.
'Thus on November IA, the enemy
fired 12-inch shells into the villages
of Loeca and Bessecca, in Concei val
ley. Yesterday the enemy batteries
directed bombardment against the
towns of Mossa and
Lucinico and on the Isonzo plain.
These towns are now heaps of smok-
ing ruins.
"Our infantry took by assault a
strong entertainment on the height
northwest of Gorilla. In this position
we found a heap of corpses and a
large amount of war materials.
