MR.. HAYS REPLIES
TO Mr.. TUMU[Ty
EnIightens Secretary on
What He Told Republican
Chairmen.

Will Hays, chairman Of the republican
national committee, has sent a reply
to Mr. Tumulty. secretary to President
Wilson. to his request for verifcation
Of recent reported utterances by Mr..
Hays.
In his reply Mr.. Hays says, regard
ing his remarks before the Associa-
ton of Republican State chairmen:
"At that meeting made remarks
referring in a general way to the
length to which the democratic lead
ers are going in their efforts to con-
troll the Senate and House, and also
as to the irrevocable stand of the
republican party for vigorous pros
ecution and against an inconclusive
peace.
II did not use the words quoted in
| your telegram. What I said then,
| which 1 now reaffirm and which
shall continue to declare. is substan-
| TALLY as follows:
| First, as to the means resorted to
by certain democratic leaders to get
| votes. I said:
What Hays Said.
"In the special election in Wis
consin the democratic machine lead
| ers published advertisements unde-
MED since by them. addressed to the
soldiers at Camp Grant. as follows:
| You are entitled to vote for United
| States senators from Wisconsin to
succeed Paul o. Hustfng. President
| Wilson, your COMMUNICATIVE chief, de-
sires all loyal Americans to vote for
Joseph e. Davies for United States
senator. Davies election means joy
at Washington and gloom at Berlin
Davies defeat means gloom and joy at
Berlin
Il regard this as an Infamous pros
titution OF all patriotic prophecies,
and the grossest violation Of the
plainest civil duty worthy Of the
severest condemnation of all Ameri-
cans. In this crisis when all patriots
are striving to bring to the aid Of the
country's cause every resource in
men and material. when thousands of
republicans and democratic boys are
dying side by side, and when both
political parties are loyal, such con-
duct is immeasurably reprehensible.

She noted the distance, and the limit

watch. Then a feverish activity took
hold of her. She dressed, got her
suitcase from under the berth, and
stuffed articles into 1t, regardless of
order.
That done, she set her suitcase in
the aisle, and curled herself In the
berth, with her face pressed close
against the window. A whimsical
smile played about her mouth, and her
fingers tap-tapped steadily on the
purse, wherein was folded Bill Wag-
staff's map.
And then out of the dark ahead a
cluster of lights winked briefly. the
shrek Of the limited's whistle echoed
up and down the wide reaches Of the
North Thompson, and the coaches
came to a stop. Hazel took one look
to make sure. Then she got softly into
the aisle, took up her suitcase, and left
the car. At the steps she turned to
give the car porter a message.
''Tell Mrs. Marsh-the lady in lower
five," she said, with dollar to quicken
his faculties, that Miss Weir had to
go back. Say I will write soon and
explain"
She stood back in the shadow OF
the station for u few seconds. The lin.
ited's stop was brief. When the red
lights went drumming down the track
she took up her suitcase and walked
uptown to the hotel where she had tar
ried overnight once before.
The clerk showed her to a room

THE BIGGEST
SERVICE FLAG
in THE WORLD

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, January 20.
The worlds largest service flag
was the proud boast Of the un-
stinted patriotism of the United Mine
Workers of America when the TWEEN
ty-sixth consecutive and third bien-
NAL convention of the organization
convened at Indianapolis, on Tues
day, January Is.
Measuring 48x75 feet anil swung
tight as canopy covering the spac-
ious ceiling Of Tomlinson Hall, the
scene of hundreds of patriotic cele-
brations of the past, the 1885 stars
will bespeak the faithful service of
the men of the mines to promote
worldwide democracy
Four hundred yards of cloth were
required to manufacture the flag,
1876 yards of white being the GEN.
terpiece on which are 1875 two
inch stars, separated by one inch of
white space, 264 yards of red being
used for the twelve-foot border.
Miners Proved Patriotism From Start
Although conservatives have look
ed upon the miners organization as
hotbed of Socialism, the miners
officials were the first of the large
organizations to tender their serv-
ices to the government.
In March, 1917, prior to the
declaration of war, when the opera
tors and miners were meeting in
special wage conference at New
York, joint resolution was passed
offering the services of the leading
representatives of the union and
those Of the operators to the gov
eminent to stimulate and maintain
coal production at high rate. AL
though wage matters have been the
cause of much contention since the
declaration of war, is only a few
instances have strikes resulted and
these were for only a short dura-
ton, affecting only a small number
of men.
The government has had the full
cooperation of the unions officials
at all times to meet the abnormal
demand for fuel.
John P. White, president, resigned
his position in order that he could
devote all of his time to the work
of the fuel administration as advisor
to DR.. Garfield on matters pertain
ing to labor. He carried with him
the full support of his successors.

UNTAXED WAR PROFITS
IN WASHINGTON CITY

When Congress voted to tax excess
war profits, it overlooked some very
heavy gains of that kind right under
its nose. The Washington CORES
pendent of the Christian Science
Monitor tells in the issue of January
2 of what the war is bringing to
the landlords of that city. In the
past two months. says the CORES
pondent, rents have increased more
than 100 per cent. The war has
made necessary so many thousands
of new employees that the city is
overcrowded and it is next to i'm
possible to lease a house.
Landlords insist on month to month
contracts with power to increase
rents on 80 days notice. How this
power is used is illustrated in a case
of one house in the suburbs where
inside of month the rent was in
creased from $35 to $65, and the
tenant, being unable to pay, was
dispossessed.
At the same time immense STITCHES
of land within the city are vacant.
If these were properly built upon,
the house famine would be ended
But the owners prefer to ask enor-
nous prices and until some one
pays them the lots remain unused.
These war profits are not taxable
under the war revenue act. The
income tax affects in some degree
the increase in house rents, but the
increased value of vacant land is
entirely exempt. Congress has a
brilliant opportunity to correct a
very bad mistake. Will it take ad-
vantage Of it-American Economic
League.

OLD SOLDIERS
BADLY TREATED

Disgraceful conditions at the state
home for old soldiers at Orting, in
Guiding improper food, filthy rooms
for the aged men to occupy and i'm

ed in a report made public Satur-
day by Spanish war veterans of
Tacoma.
1t is made public by Charles Tay-
Tor. senior past commander of Maj
f. M. Brown camp, United Spanish
War Veterans, following, they say,
an Intellectual effort to force state
officials to improve the conditions,
There are 81 old soldiers at the
Orting home, veterans of the Civil

worse food than the paupers at the

The report charges:
THAT the buildings are infected

THAT the buildings are lust

THAT windows are not washed
and have not been washed so far
back as inmates can remember.
THAT drinking water is furnished
from unclean cups and all drinking
places, except display fountain on
the lawn, are filthy. That toilets
are not only filthy, but repulsive
with stencil.
THAT the Lincoln building, Occu-
pied by many of the old soldiers, is
used as place for making head
cheese and for rendering lard from
fresh pork. The stencil from this
process makes the sleeping rooms.
unbearable for comfort. In the rear
of the building are piles of refuse
meat and bones.
THAT the hog pens are the most
sanitary quarters on the grounds.
THAT fire escapes are insufficient
and dangerous. They consist of rot

age old man could never use them.
A live electric wire touches one of
the fire escapes and makes it danger

THAT there is not trained nurse
at the home, although there are
many cases of illness constantly.
THAT the home is conducted on

is possible.

REGULATIONS

Overstocking of flour by families
and individuals is placed under the
ban of the food administration. The
regulations issued by Charles Heb
berd, federal food administrator for
Washington provide:
Retail sales of flour to families
in towns and cities are limited to
one quarter barrel lots; to farmers
from one half barrel to one barrel,
depending on the distance from the
point of supply. For larger supplies
than one barrel lots, required by
those living at distant points from
supply bases, permission must be
secured either from the federal food
administrator or from the chairman
Of the county food committee. Ho-
tells, restaurants and eating houses
may be sold ten days supply.
