Wounded YamkS
often "BrOke''

Washington, Dec. 13.-While no
specific complaint has reached Major
Gen. Ireland, surgeon general of ar
my, that men in hospitals in this
country had not been paid promptly,
Secretary Baker believes it possible
there are many of the wounded and
sick soldiers brought home from
France who probably have not re-
ceiyed their pay for several months.
The secretary explained today the
old pay systems under which COM
pany commanders made out pay
rolls for all the men on their COM
pany rosters had broken down be-
cause wounded and sick men be-
came so far separated from their
commands it was impossible for the
company commanders to know what
had become Of them.
To offset this, a new system of in
effeionlowb( aarfvn oalbywg Fl Vi1setaoin
dividual pay books was inaugurated,
Mr. Baker said. but because of the
great size of the force in France, it
has not yet been brought into COM
plete operation.
The war secretary said on his re-
turn from France recently he issued
Instructions that no men be embark
ed from France except with complete
outfits of clothing and with enough
money TO provide them with funds
for incidental needs on the Journey
and for some time at the hospitals in
this country.

fer indefinitely any satisfactory set
Element Of the railroad problem.

aspects and arrive at plan that
would be just to the country"

THE IDEA THAT GAVE
AMERICA NEW POCKET
IIMEKEEPING
STANDARDS
STANDARDS

III HERE was time when the Swiss
watch, which for centuries has
been recognized ass the worlds
finest pocket timepiece, was luxury
few men in America could afford. It was
not only very expensive but repairs were
almost impossible in case of accident
Today this condition has changed You
can now buy-at prevailing American
watch prices and with complete Ameri-
ran service assured watch representing
the finest modern expression of Swiss
craftsmanship. A watch so thin it fits
the pocket like a silver dollar" and yet
meets the higher theological standards for
accuracy and durability.
This watch is the Gruen. It's move
ments are made in Madre- Bel, Switzer-
land, under American ownership and
management, by the Gruen Watchmakers'
Guild group of the best craftsmen
whose one ideal is perfect workmanship.
Here, in America, at the picturesque
guild workshops on Thine HILL" Cincin-
natl, the beautiful Gruen cases are hand
wrought and the movements cased, ad-
justed and timed.
The Gruen Watch is obtainable only
through one of 1000 Gruen jeweler agen-
cies-the best in every 1ocality-to whom
the sale is confined. Duplicate repair
parts may be had through these agencies
at all times.

MORRISON INSISTS
NEW TRIAL BE GIVEN
Mooney Case Not Settled by
Communication, He Says.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-Commuta-
ton OF the death sentence of Thomas
J. Mooney by Gov. Stephens of Cali
fornia does not In any way settle the
case. from the viewpoint of organized
labor says a statement issued TODAY
by Frank Morrison, secretary of the
American Federation Of Labor. He
said:
Organized labor will be in full ac-
cord with Gov. Stephens's stateme. 4
that:
1T Is. OF course, unnecessary to
argue the point that whatever
MONEYS character or his past record
might have been this particular case
must be determined upon its merits
In my judgment, however the COM
mutation does not in any way settle
this case
1t must he recalled that the trade
union movement, in urging a new trial
for Mooney, takes the position that
the charges of perjury in connection
with his conviction make a new trial
imperative. This position is identical
with that of Superior Court Judge
N'A'ih4lt VIM NOllllACltu mooney trial
and sentenced him to death. In a let
ter to State Attorney General Webb
on April % last year, Judge Griffin, in
urging new trial, said that il the
perjury evidence was presented TO him
before the case left his hands he would
unhesitatingly have granted a new
trial On November 81 of this year
Judge Griffin renewed his request In a
letter to Gov Stephens
Under these circumstances the
trade union movement has urged that
Mooney have a new trial. This could
he accomplished by the Governor par
doning him and having him imme-
diately arrested on one or the other
murder indictments resulting from the
bomb explosion.
LAS the matter now stands Mooney
Is to serve life Imprisonment on evil
dence that the Trial Judge says bears
directly upon the credibillty of the
witness and goes to the very founda-
ton OF the truth OF the story told by
OXman 1.-THE States chief witnessl. on

GARRISON TOWN lad
BIG FOOD RESERVES
Departure of German Troops
Releases Them.

SrRAssBoURo. Nov. 26 delayed 1t
Is very difficult to get at the real food
situation Of the reconquered French
provinces. Visitors there are now find
ing in the populous centres that good
food is to be had in plenty. but .gener-
ally at high prices. although some
times food may be obtained at aston
ishingly reasonable rates. At the
same time these visitors are told that
in many places the people had been
unable to obtain even the card allow
ance of food, although with money in
hand to pay for H.
The suppos!tion that there was al
ways plenty of food for the population
but that It was held In reserve for the
German army seems to be supported
by the fact that provisions are now
the most plentiful in the towns where
strong garrisons were stationed. The
departure OF the garrisons released the
reserves for general consumption.
Substitutes are still mostly served
for coffee, tea and beer, but real cot
fee may be had at a price.
There Is abundant evidence that the
Inhabitants got around the war re-
striction In great many cases. There
are stories of eurrept!tious midnight
Killings OF unregistered cattle In back
gardens. and the producers make no
secret OF having circumvented the ca d
system by exchanging prov.sio .
among themselves. The miller wou,I
rade mis- nour for cut from the ur-
registered COW, while persons without
products to exchange were obliged to
get along with their hundred ziams or

more. as he had no means Of Guiding
