Strict Regulations Are to Be Put in Force
 Around Military Camps

Chattanooga, Tenn, May 26.-As the re- suit of General Leonard Woods visit to Chattanooga. and conferences with off cials as to the welfare of the city, and the establishment of moral zone around Fort Oglethorpe camp, the officials today issued warning through the judge of the police court that there is to be a general cleansing. The city judge started the crusade by assessing the limit, $50 and costs, against several women alleged vio- lators and bound them over to the crimf- nal court. He also meted out similar pen alties to those charged with bootlegging.
 The city officials in conference decided against the establishment of a segregated district, but instead to clean the city or all immoral women.

DISREGARD TECHNICALITIEs

'There could be no greater calamity than for one branch of the govern ment to go blindly on it's way, adher- ing D technical routine Of work and unmindful of the great national neces- sities of war. while the other branches, discarding the routine of peace, worked toward the new goal.
 "The supreme court rising to the present national situation, has given real vision to blind justice. By or dering all the suits for the segrega- ton of great corporations back on the docket for reargument in the future the court has saved to the nation for the purpose of war some of its great est industrial assets.
 Most of the companies involved can render vast service to the nation in war Their very bigness has been a factor in national efficiency. Red tape and technical considerations should stand aside for national efficiency and where there is no moral turpitude in- volved the strict interpretation of the business statutes of the country can wait
 The only question involved in these suits has been the question of national business policy F'undamen- whether large combinations benefit or hurt the consumers. In war at least they are of substantial benefit to the nation, to the army and the navy. Te disorganize any of them now, to harass or distract them by threats of dis ruption would be to weaken the arm or the nation in war, at time when every ounce of strength Is needed and would cause an economic disturbance in our own markets.
 "The supreme court with true statesmanship postpones the minor questions so that the nation may be unhampered in the efficient prosecu- tion of the war"

WASHINGTON PAPER PRAISES ACTION OF THE SUPREME COURT
Thinks Postponement of De- cision in Antitrust Cases "Gives Vision to Blind
 Justice"
By HUGH ". ROBERTS

Washington, May 26-(Special.)-Be- cause 1t postponed for at least one year the decision in the case of the govern ment against the United States Steel and other corporations, the supreme court. in the opinion of the Washington Post, IS an "enlightened court"
 The action of the court in postponing the cases was anticipated by Age-Herald dispatches for several weeks. Then it was generally reported that because of the disastrous effect an adverse decision might have on business, decisions would be postponed. Another reason unofficial ly assigned for the delay is the fact that the corporation concerned, in patriotical- Iy rallying to the support of the govern ment in time of war, are really con- tributing service to their country which hn If0a to6

BIRMINGHAM'S INTEREST

Birmingham was especially interested in securing an early and favorable yer dict in the case of the United States Steel, because it was generally known that if the corporation was freed of charges preferred by the government it would instantly engage in gigantic de- velopment in the environ of the Magic City. That some operations. despite ths laws delay, may be instituted in Ala bama Is deduced from the fact that in spite of the pending suit the United States Steel is preparing to erect in New Jer- sey a mammoth shipbuilding plant.
 In it's editorial bearing on this subject the Washington Post says:
 '@The supreme court is as much part of the American government as Is Con- gress or the executive. It's work Is not confined to the technical and arbitrary interpretation of the law. Its chief func- ton prob ably is the interpretation of the 1o1y In ralation to nublic policy

WANT TO DEVELOP MEN


 There are q good many men contem- plating enlistment who feel their edu- cation and abilities should entitle them to corporals or sergeant's stripes at the start, but as a matter of fact that would be poor way to start, for such a noncommissioned officer would begin his duties without prestige among the men who must obey him, and probably with scme resentment against him be- cause he had not earned his rank in the service.
 However, it can be truly said that the job +. looking for the man in the army. In fact, the chief difficulty ex- perienced Dy organization commanders is that they have not sufficient well edu- eated men tc place In positions which require some education. Any man who has the necessary educa tion and qualities is practically sure of early advancement, because his organization commander will be moro concerned In putting the man in the job than the man himself will be tn get If
