CHAMBERLAIN WILL
AIR VIEWS ON ARMY

Senator Chamberlain, chairman OF
the Senate Military Committee has
given notice that he will address the
Senate Monday on the treatment OF
soldiers in hospitals and in canton
ments and on the discharge OF SOL
diers.
Senator Chamberlain is expected TO
come out strongly in favor of the
speedy discharge OF troops now in
camp and can:onment IN this country.
He has been looking into conditions
In the hospitals, and has received
complaints about some OF them.
Though Senator Chamberlain has
made no statement OF what he win
say in advance. II is the talk in Mill
tAry Committee circles that he will
take the position that the morale OF
troops viii deteriorate rapidly II
there is nothing for them to do and,
therefore. discharges should be
speeded up.
In the case of men in the hospitals.
the view Of Senator Chamberlain ia
understood to be that as soon as
men are cured of their wounds and
physically in shape for discharge
they should be discharged and not
left to remain about the hospitals
with nothing 10 do

Billy Possum was sure it was all up
with him, and ms he always did when
cornered, he dropped on the ground
and pretended he was dead.
Rcddy Fox did not notice Billy Pos
sum, but he did notice that Billy S trousers
had caught ON something and his quick
wits told him that il might hold and he
could escape.
Reddy Fox took the one chance he

They held. and in another instant he
was at the top, safe on the ground, and
running for home as fast as his swift
feet would carry him.
Billy Postum opened one eye after n
while and looked around. His trousers
were on the ground beside him. They
had given way just as Rcddy Fox reached
the top.
Then Billy opened the other eye and
looked around for Reddy. He sat up
and rubbed his eyes "Ile must he
here" he thought, for how could he
get out?'
But he wasn't. for the daylight came
through the trees just then and Billy
