DISASTER; BELIEFS CHANGED

particularly the officers. Mentally,
they were equal to German officers
and some were more intelligent. The
average mentality of men in the
Hungarian divisions was much
higher than that of the Germans.
Hungarian morale is exceedingly
low, judging from these men. Their
first remarks when you asked them
how things went was, "Oh, the wars
finished for us. We have nothing to
worry about" They backed up their
words with real grins of satisfaction
at being out of the fight, and their
spirits are as high no was their
morale was low when they were
taken.
The Hungarians are bright-looking e
chaps, for the most part, with good
faces, but with bodies that are
shrung from hunger and privation.

Washington, June 19.-Sensattonal ,
disclosures Of alleged graft conspiracy
in connection with government con-
tracts were made by the department OF
justice in Announcing the Indictment
In Philadelphia Of John Fleming, John
T. Cayanaugh, Eugene Sullivan and
Joseph Kohn.
These men are charged with having
offered to obtain for the Quaker City

The department severely scored the
practices Of contingent fee contrac-
tors" and promised to round up num-
bers of these men in Washington, New
York and other cities.
Late yesterday agents Of the depart
ment and officers Of the military ana
naval intelligence spread a net over
all sections Of the country. Private
papers Of hundreds of corporatlorS
having contractual relations wjtA the
government were examined.
They were all indicted by the
grand jury for conspiracy to commit
an offense against the United States.
Practice Brazen, Says U. S.
Referring to the department of just

afternoon said:
"Instead of taking notice of this
warning, the system has continued its
practices. There are today number

manufacturers of the country, stating
they have close relationship with some
or all of the departments of the gov
ernment and In some instances infiu-
ence with individuals in these depart
ments, sinister In character, which
gives them power to obtain favorable
contracts for their clients In considera-
ton of commission.
I'm a number of cases the contin-
facturer that the latter could not deal
with the government except through
him, and that unless the manufactur-
er paid the contingent fee he could not
get the contract.
"As government contracts run into
hundreds of millions, the amount Of
these commissions can be imagined"

In addition to the announcement
that search is being made today Of
the records of all manufacturers with

ment, the statement adds:
"a search also has been made Of
the papers Of certain corporations
which act in the capacity Of contin-
gent fee operators. The government
has been aided through loyal manu-
facturers who have volunteered infor-
nation.
There is no intention to interfere
with legitimate relationship between
manufacturers and various depart
ments of the government over con-
tracts, but the manufacturer must
deal directly with the department and
not through a middle man or agents
employed on a contingent fee basis.
1.-THE government through all Its
agencies is determined that money
shall not be expended on contingent
fees for brokerage contractors"
