Hughes imagine that the passing OF
eighteen short years have wiped out
all recollection of the negIects. indif-
ferences and corruptons that marked
the treatment of volunteer forces dur
ing the brief war with Spain?
There was the "embalmcd beer
scandal, for instance In the face Of
bitter and persistent protest. the Re-
publican administration permitted ia
vorcd contractors to supply rotten meat
to the soldiers, and, even in the day
OF complete exposure, not one Of the
millionaire prisoners were made to an
swcr for his treason.
In addition to "paper-solcd shoes"
that sent men tramping over rough
ways in bare feet there were failures
TO supply the right weight of under
wear, the proper kind OF clothing, the
sufficient quantity of medicines. Has
Mr.. Roosevelt forgotten the famous

For long months National Guard reg

in n decent water supply and In snnl-

LONDON. October 2S.-The president
of the Danish East India Company,
whose head offices are in London. has
just returned here from Il trip to Ger
many. where he had a conference with
Alfred Ballin. head OF the Hamburg
American Steamship Line
While unwilling to reveal what Bal

mans in industrial and business circles

In mourning for the pension hog
Here Is how the term pension hog
arose: When national meat cards were
introduced in Germany at the begin
ming of last month the decree issued
by the food dictator forbidding the
private butchering of pigs by the
farmers and small butchers for home
use was modified to allow the killing
of pigs for home consumption by spc-
cial license. The meat of the pigs
killed was then TO bc marked down
on the meat ticket OF the owner. This
gave the man who killed his own hogs
tho advantage that the weight OF the
hogs was computed to be so much
lower than it actually was that he got
twice as much meat as he would have
been entitled to get IL lie had had TO
buy 1t.
THE result was that hundreds OF
thousands Of Germans tried to acquire
tho right to kill their own hogs. But.
