Charles E. Hughes report on the
investigation Of aircraft construction,
recently made public, includes many
charges, including incompetence Of
aerial war chiefs, enormous profits Of
contractors, a wastage Of $24 200, 600
due to the abandonment Of the Bristol
plane and the failure to eliminate
prot ermanism at the Ford plant.
Mr.. Hughes accuses four army chiefs
of gross irregularities and suggests
that three others be courtmartialed
as criminals. It appears from the re-
port that in the Ford works there
were about 200 prof. Germans employed
and no effort whatsoever was made
to GUST them. Certainly pretty
state Of affairs to exist a conditions
that could not possibly be maintained
without collision of chiefs and man
ufacturers. AS to Mr.. Hughes report
it is substantiated by numerous wit
nesses and therefore there are no
grounds for discrediting or even
doubling the statement.

Great Britain has decided to leave
no stone unturned in an effort to pun
ish the Russians who have murdered
and imprisoned it's citizens. Citizens
of many nationalities have been assas-
sinated shot down in cold blood in
Russia and no effort has been made by
the anarchistic Bolshevist government
to bring the murderers to justice. It
is historical fact that the British
government, regardless Of expense,
has always taken every measure pos
sible to protect it's citizens and punish
those who murder or illegally i'm
prison them in foreign lands. One in
stance to the point is that of the inn
prisonment many years ago by King
John Of Abyssinia Of two English
missionaries The result was that a
regiment Of troops and light field
pieces were dispatched to the kings
citadel, located on mountain top.
These guns were taken up the hillside.
on the backs of elephants and, the sur
prised semi barbarian king, after a
few shots had been fired, committed
suicide, his troops scampered into the
jungle, and the missionaries were
rescued. Were it necessary to rescue,
but a single person, the British would
dispatch an army and squadron Of
battleships to accomplish that pur-
pose. &

they regard it always from the prac-

small part Of the Salvation Army work.

the limit of punishment which the law
permits. A pretty state Of affairs cer-
tainly prevails in the country if the
charges of profiteering and the squan-

"A return Of the port Of Tsingtau,
taken by Germany by Japanese
forces early in the war, is, asked by
China when the allies administer the
kaiser's estate. Considering that this
important seaport was held by Ger
which had a strong colony there,
that the Chinese were unable to drive
the Huns out, and that the Japs cap
+tured the city, it would seem only fair
that Japan be allowed to retain it.

The total subscriptions to the
Fourth Liberty loan amounted to the
sum Of $3.50 900 900, the treasury de-
partment has announced, and the num-
Der Of subscribers is estimated at 21,-
600, 900 while the amount oversub-
scribed is $3.50, 100000. This goes to
show that the kaiser's love letters to
the president, which threatened in the
early part Of the campaign to serious
" hamper the raising Of the stipulated
amount, later acted as an incentive to
a greater purchase Of bonds.

u. s. VOICES VICTORY SPIRIT
BY James Cardinal Gibbons.

tst
America, through her soldiers in
France, has voiced the spirit that leads
to- victory. They are our SONS and
brothers; flesh of our flesh, and the.
spirit that inspires them inspires US
also. We have sent them across the
sea to fight--but we have in heart and
in. soul gone with them. We are de-
termined that they should know that
the people at home are fighting with
them, standing with them, shoulder
to shoulder. America in this war has
done what no other nation ever did.
She has carried the presence, the at.
mosphere Of home into the camps
across the seas, that everywhere the
soldier may realize there are fatherly
hands to help him, motherly hands to
console him, friendly hands to enter
tain him. 5.

Wonderful Lung Surgery.

Marvels of surgery evolved on the
battlefields Of France, which caused
even men skilled in the knowledge
of the human body to gasp with
establishment, were unfolded recently
by group Of eminent European sur
geons at the University Of Minnesota
to more than 600 physicians and SUR
Egeons Of the Twin Cities, nurses and
Iinternes and members Of the Ramsey
and Hennepin County medical socie-
ties.
How the human lung, the most
delicate Of all organs, can be taken
out Of the body, cleansed Of foreign
matter and replaced so that the pa
l.tient lives and RECEIVERS was told by
Prof. Pierre Duva1 Of the University
Iof Paris, ranked as the first surgeon
I in military matters in France.
s. Present operative conditions are
such, Pof. Duval said, that surgeons
are now able to treat the lungs with
surgery just as they would treat any
other part Of the body.
BY the means Of slides, Prof. Duval
showed how the thorax is opened, the
lungs pulled out comple tely, one lobe
after another, and the surfaces Of the
lungs examined for shell splinters and
other foreign matter.

DR.. Bracken, chief executive Of the
state board of health, who is personal
" opposed to the closing Of public
places, characterizes the action taken
in Minneapolis as a joke and says it
has accomplished nothing. A belief
that the malady would reach its crest
automatically and gradually disap-
pear was expressed by DR.. Bracken.
The doctor has studied the epidemic
from every angle and it stands to
reason that his opinion is worthy Of
consideration.

He hadn't seen q girl OF his own kind,
