WOULD PUNISH ARMY
OFFICER FOR ATTITUDE
Congressman Urge Court-Martial Of
Capt. Kemper for Alleged Disre-
spect Toward Guardsmen.

A ruction was caused In the House
yesterday by published reports OF the
domineering attitude of Capt. Kemper of
the regular army, stationed at Mount
Gretna, Pa. toward officers of the Ma
tional Guard in camp there. Minority
Leader Mann said If the reports were
true the officer deserved a court-martial,
and Representatives Focht and Moore, of
Pennsylvania, declared the regular army
officer had insulted the officers of the
National Guard and should be investi-
gated.
1T is insults of this character that pre-
vent enlistments in the Guard and the
army" said Representative Focht. II
hope this captain will be cashiered and
drummed out of the service. These Penn
sylvania Guard officers are refined men.
college graduates, men Of standing, and
they are not to be insulted by some mere
captain in the regular army
Newspaper reports referred to in the
House said that Capt. kemper had vir-
tually declared himself boss OF the Mount
Gretna Camp, and that he had said to
Maj. Arnold, of the Pennsylvania Guard
You may have that on your shoulders
(pointing to the insignia Of a major and
I may have these straps (of captain).
but you will take your orders from me. %

READY TO CARE FOR
HEALTH OF TROOPS
Army Medical Department Will Pre-
vent Recurrence of Mistakes
of Spanish War.

The War Department outlined yestsr-
day the systematic measures which have
been taken TO care for the health of the
American troops who go to the Mexican
border. Precautions have been taken TO
eliminate the mistakes made during the
Spanish war, and the Army Medical De-
partment is assured that there will be no
recurrence OF the unsanitary conditions
or outbreaks Of preyentable diseases
which occurred then.
Since that time vast strides have been
made in the matter of sanitary education
and training" according to the statement
made public by the Army Medical De-
partment yesterday, and the line of the
army. upon which rests the obligation of
carrying out the sanitary recommended
tons OF the medical department, is far
better informed of the dangerous of dies
eases and the necessity and means of
preventing them.
TO this end the medical department
Of the army has carried on a systematic
course Of training Of Iae officers in the
service schools, and has brought out edu-
cation in hygiene among the line and
medical officers OF the National Guard in
several States. 1t is well understood that
camp outbreaks OF disease are usually
ayoidable, and hence inexcusable, and
the preservation of the health of troops
is essential to their efficiency"

formally launched the campaign. He
told the men and women present that
they had "a big task ahead of them. one
that will require much hard work"
The Rotary Club could have gone
ahead and furnished what aid 1t could
individually: said Mr.. Callahan, but II
felt that the task was too big for one
organization and So 1t invited all Or
ganizations to meet with II here today
and decide on a plan of cooperation"
Mrs. Court F. Wood, president of the
District Federation of Women's Clubs,
appealed to the women's organizations to
enter the work.
There is a lot of work to be done In
furnishing this aid that men cannot do,
such as making necessary visits to the
homes of the Guardsmen and similar
duties" said Mrs. Wood.
The word charity" was tabooed at
the start. All the speakers declared that
the central organization should not work
as g. charitable body, but rather as a
patriotic society doing a patriotic work.
1t is highly probable that the name
selected for the central committee will
be patriotic in character.
Mrs. William e. Harvey, wife Of the
commander of the District National
Guard, and president of the Woman's
Relief Association Of the District Ma
tional Guard, took a prominent part in
the meeting. She was accompanied by
Mrs Mai. Harry Coope. of the same or

also were soldiers who accompanied Capt.

M ADOO and KITCHIN
OPPOSE BOND ISSUE
Favor Revenue Bill in Its Present
Form for Passage and Oppose
Any Bond Issue.

At a conference between Secretary
McAdoo. Of the Treasury. and House
Leader kitChin, a tentative agreement
was reached yesterday as to the method
OF raising national defense revenue. 1t
was decided that there should he no iS-
sue OF bonds and that the revenue bill
should be passed in its present form.
An estimate recently made showed
need Of an additional S34lppCOo for de-
fense purposes instead OF $40 roo. 600.
1t is the opinion Of the Secretary Of
the Treasury and Leader Kitchin that
with the S250.O0or00 TO be raised through
the medium Of the pending revenue bill
and 100000 TO be taken from the
general fund Of the Treasury there will
be no necessity for imposing taxes be
yond those contemplated IN the tax meas
ure about TO be reported by the House.
The revenue bill advances the surtax
rates Of the income tax law. imposes a
tax on inheritsnCes and war munitions.
The bill probably will be reported 10 the
House early next week and rushed TO
the Senate without delay.

in part:
ut would seem to me that your
complaint should have gone to the
office OF the company rather than TO
the press, or If you had TO go to print
there was no occasion for you to
bring in the name of the Outdoor

CLEMONS' LETTER ON bumps is
STARTER FORNEWSPAPER JOLTS

Clemens replied in another open let
ter" in part as follows:
"My Dear Mr.. Lowrey: Regarding
our letters in yesterdays Advertiser
and Saturdays Star-Bulletin, my only
purpose in writing to the press
about bumps n the highways was
TO arouse some discussion Of the
whole subject of the negligence OF all
who have occasion to make street ex-
cavations The aim was general re-
form and not alone reform In the par
ticdlar cited instance of the gas COM
pany. Hence no complaint was then
made to that company in particular,
though the matter was intended to
be taken up with 1t, and 1t was
hoped that the public utilities com.
mission and the next legislature,
within their respective spheres, would
also take up the general subject, with
the idea of protecting our streets, bad
enough as they are, against the negli-
gence or air, including even the city
water works department. -.
But the mere fact that my letter
has actually caused any offense is
enough, of course, to make me regret
what was intended only as above ex'
panied And / hereby tender to both
of you who were referred to my most
humble apologies. should not have
written anything in any way capable
of possible misunderstanding. BreVlty
is the soul of wit, but not always
the soul of tact or of understanding.
Further, as to my reason for not
first going to the gas company's office
with my complaint, | had permanent
and wider reform in mind, and, frank
Iy, my experience with particular pro-
nounced bumps of the company's
making caused some doubt of the
practicability of any such complaint. "
Another effect Of, Judge Clemens
letter was a reply from Acting Man.
ager Frank @. Cannon of the gas com.
pany, stating that the company would
call on the Judge today for list OF
bumps"
