COMPLAINT FROM
Mr.. MANNING
Acknowledgement Says That
the Neglect of Sick Soldiers
at Camp Polk
WOS SOMETHING FIERCE
WOS SOMETHING FIERCE

Washington, Dec. 17.-Attorne!
General James S. Manning, of Ra
leigh has registered an emphatic
protest with Senator Simmons
against the conduct of the medica
department identified with Caml
Polk. Lack of food, inattentivenesS
to the sick and neglect ofthe soldiers
by themedical branch were practices
obtaining at the Raleigh camp, ac,
cording to the letter of the Attorney
General of the State. To the report,
ed sad state of affairs came the trag.
ic sequence of two soldiers dying
while being conveyed from Raleigh
to a hospital near Asheville, accord
ing to theletter of the Attorney Gen.
eral.
"The complaint particularly is di-
rected to the lack of proper food,
lack of attention and neglect by
medical officers connected with the
camp" writes Attorney General
Manning.
II have heard of none of the
medical officers of the camp, except
Captain (Doctor) Know, who seem
ed to make any effort to cure those
who were sick.
"The ladies of this community who
gave their time and who were will
ing to give more and who furnished
most of the nourishment and who
were willing to furnish more fit to
be used by sick soldiers are very in
dignant and horror-struck at the
treatment the sick soldiers received.
When they removed these soldiers,
AZ in number, from the camp to
Asheville last Monday morning,
many of these boys protested their
unwillingness to go and pleaded
most pathetically that some of the
ladies, who had been with them
should accompany them to Ashe-.
vile. Some of them were in an ex-
ceedingly pfecarious condition; in
no condition to stand such trip,
and as a result two of them died on
the train before reaching Baltimore.
"The mothers and fathers who
have given their sons to the govern
ment to serve in time of war have
the right-as you know you will
agree-to expect that their sons
when taken sick in the service of
their country shall be treated as hu-
man beings and are entitled to the
very best treatment, including not
only medical attention, but food,
that can possibly befurnished.

TAKING THE
14TH CENSUS
80, 900 Census Takers Will Be
Required to Take the Pop
ulation of America
COVER VARIETY SUBJECTS

Washington, D. c., Dec. Ito
make inventory of the population of
the United tates, job assigned the
Census Bureau for 1920, will require
a field force of 10000 census TAX
ers. Sam Rogers, the Tar Heel cen
sus director, is making preliminary
preparations for conducting the
fourteenth census. The ponding
congressional legislation provides
for the employment of all clerical
and sub-clerical help through open
competitive examinations by the
United States civil service commits
sion.
The fourteenth census will cover
the subjects of population; agrlcul-
ture including irrigation and drain
age; manufactures, and mines, quar-
ries and oil and gas wells. The can
vts of the urban population will re-
quire two weeks, and the canvas Of
the rural population and of agricul-
tural will be completed in one
month"; but the collection of the in
dustrial statistics will consume sew
eral months. The results Of the
coming census of agricultural and
of manufacturing and mineral indus
tries will be of unusal value and
significance for the reason that they
will cover the operations Of the cal
endar year 1919, during which the
agricultural and industries of the
country will be passing through a
period of transition from war to a
peace basis.
According to the annual report of
Director Sam L. Rogers of the Bu-
reau of the Census, to Secretary Will
liam C. Redfield of the Department
of Commerce, covering the fiscal
year ended June 80, 1918, which
has just been made public, the Cen
sus Bureau during thaty ear turned
aside in a large measure from its
usual peace-time work and directed
part of it's enegies to the cOmpila-
ton of war statistics. The increase
in this class of work was so large
that the number of employees en-
gagged on it rose from 92 on July 1,
1918, to 231 on eptember l.

Revive Work of Old Masters.
This question of weight and there
fore practicability of armor for the
man on foot-thc man who makes
charge-reverts TO the time of Louis
Nv of France. when the use of defen-
sive projection had practically disap-
neared and an attempt was made to
revive the steel helmet. Indeed, the
development of armOr from the time
of side arms until the use of firearms
is one of exceeding interest at this
time in that the government is re-
viewing the work of some of the
greatest of the old masters in armor
making, with a view to reinstating the
best and most feasible Of the old meth
DDS of defensive protection.
The use of armor dates back to the
ninth century y. G.. and became more
elaborate and complex until the intro
ductiOn of gunpowder. The helmet was
the first body protection to appear and
was followed by the cuirass-the lat
ter being used by the Greeks and Ro-
mans and reappearing at the time Of
Charlemagne in the form of n waist
coat made of overlapping metal scales
and of rather imperfect execution.
What Norman Warrior Wore.
In the eleventh century, according
to the BayeauX tapestries as well as
the seal of Richard Coeur de Lion, we
find the coat of mail assuming first
the shape of redngote and later that
of bathing suit, completed by he'll
met conical at the nose. This together
with the use of leather plates on the
feet and hands, constituted the equip
ment of a Norman warrior.
A study of The sculptures of the
Reims cathedral and the evangelia-
rum of st. Louis (National library)
points to the development, in the
twelfth century, of n perfected coat of
mail. a metal combination united with
jhe helmet by q passe-montagne Of
steel links; the whole, constituting n
hauberk, protected the warrior with
the hauhe--a cylindrical helmet made
of pieces of forged metal adjusted by
rivets and pierced by two peepholes.
At the beginning Of the fourteenth
century the desire to protect the Joints
caused the placing of metal plates at
/ shoulder and knee. The Eaube liSap-
peared and was replaced by helmet
of type called Bassinet with NOV
