wanton acts in the history of Con-
gress, one that will cause more heart
aches and greater anxieties to a lar
ger number of people of the United
States than anything that has hap
pened since the war began, was the
publication by Senator Chamberlain
of the two letters citing neglect and
maltreatment of sick and dead SOL
diers in the army cantonments.
Granting that every word of the
gruesome details cited in the letters
were facts, it would seem the right
method to employ by man who really
desires to correct conditions and to
bring deserved punishment to the
guilty soldiers, would have been to
submit the letters to the Secretary of
War for investigation and action. But
Senator Chamberlain refused to give
the identity of the accusers and de-
clined to give the names of the Of
tenders, or the location of the camps
in which the crimes were said to have
been committed. AS consequence the
whole army of million and a half
of men stands accused of gross neg
lect and maltreatment of sick and
dead soldiers, and until Senator Cham
ber1ain allows the cases to be lnvesti-
gated, there are many who will doubt
the incidents occurred as alleged.

a very watchful eye upon the social op-
erations III and about the training camps
recently said of the work accomplished
BY the Salvation Army: Il can truthfully
say that what has been done by your
organization under our general direction
has Been well done Many more OF
these hutnents are to be erected and
those already in operation will soon be
enlarged.
Much comment has been made upon
the fitness OF the salvation Army for
this particular work and none of it has
been unfavorable. No other organization
has so many devoted women thoroughly
trained and ready to sacrifice their, COM
fort and leave safety and home for the
uncertain and strenuous life in war
camps. The Salvation Army girl who
goes to the front goes with the knowl-
edge that she must face the same dam
gers and hardships as do the soldiers and
that she must work even harder. 1t is
no wonder that the soldiers of the ex-
peditionary forces regard them with a
very real and affectionate respect.
