Is in keeping with one .of the oldest OF

On the sea- Germany is always on the

What's Eating the Army

THERE isn't any doubt but snobbery,
l social caste and feudalism are
whats the matter with our army" as
ellison Gardner dscloses in his Wash
ington correspondence.
Most officers treat the priva,cs as yell
low dogs and most officers arc officers
thru appointment to West Point by po-
litical pull and promotion by political
pull. We have the old English system
in all respects save the buying OF posi-
tions with cash. And the snobbery and
brutality run from the ranks right up to
the highest grades. The hatred held by
lower grade men towatd their superiors
is so strong and wcll-foundcd that. I'M
less there is speedy cure for il. we shall
have. in our next actual war, whole
lot of officers shot in thu back with their
faces toward the enemy.
In every army port snobbery and caste
nastiness seethe among officers wives and
other female attaches. The social lines
are so sharply drawn as to be utterly
silly and shameful as we'll as undcmo-
cratic and harmful. and envy and hatred
choke anything like respect or self
respect.
A very large percentage Of our officer
factory's product at West Point arc born
snobs, educated snobs and confirmed as
snobs by our military system. Until re-
cruiting of officers from the ranks and
promotion on the basis OF merit become
the rule. rather than the exception. we
will do we'll to make almighty close study

LABOR INDICATED IN THE
YOUNGSTOWN RIOTS

YOUNGSTOWN RIOTS
Youngstown, O., Jan. 11.-Organ-
lied labor was absolutely indicated
of any responsibility for the strike
that resulted in rioting, loss of life
and property destruction in East
Youngstown in the report of States
Atty A. M. Henderson of Mahoning
county, who is conducting an inves-
tigation under orders from Gov
Willis.
At the same time Henderson an
nounced that one of the first wit
nesses brought before the grand jury
today will be Jas. A. Campbell, pres.
of the Youngstown Sheet & Tube
Co., in front of whose plant the riot
started after one of the company's
guards had fired shot at the strik-
ers. Campbell will be questioned re-
garding the activities of the 60 pri-
vate detectives he admits the Sheet
& Tube Co. brought to East Youngs-
town.
Thos. ]. Flynn, general organizer
of the American Federation of La
Dor, in signed statement to the
states attorney, declared his inves-
tigators had secured evidence tend
ing to show that the rioting was
caused by paid sluggers brought to
East Youngstown by the company
and he attributed the rioting to
financial scheme rugged up as a
last desperate resort to depress the
value of the tube works stock, so
that interests that are trying to form
a great half-billion dollar merger
could get the control that they
wanted"
Communications were also sent to
the states attorney by a number of
the small stockholders of the Sheet
& Tube Co. who oppose the merger
of the local company with the Cam
bria and Lackawanna Steel compa-
MES.

on the Nayatt road where DR.. Charles
F. Mohr and Miss Emily Burger were

Mrs. Elizabeth F. Mohr, the doc

Spellman and Cecil Victor Brown,
negroes, to kill the doctor, decided
at the last moment not to accompany

EcKHART INDICTED - SMALL
SHIPPERS CAN LAUGH

Bernard Eckhart, millionaire flour
mill owner, Republican politician and
brother of John w. Eckhart, anti
federation member of the school
board, was indicted yesterday by the
federal grand jury. He is charged
with taking rebates from railroads on
grain shipments.
The Pennsylvania and Panhandle
railroads plead guilty two years ago
to giving rebates. Their confession
dragged in Eckhart and members of
the w. H. Merritt Grain Co. Indict-
ments resulted.
The anti-rebate law was passed to
give small shippers chance. Before
its passage, and some say after,
the custom was for railroads to give
rebates to big shippers in exchange
for the business. The big firms,
therefore, could ship cheaper than
the little fellows and could undersen
the smaller companies.
