have been received from the men in France
for their mothers here in this country sug-
gests another sort of commentary.

DIRECTOR WILSON SHOULD GET OUT

sTAPTAIN MILLS has shifted police lieu
tenants from posts to which Director
Wilson assigned them. When asked
whether the Director approved his acts he
replied, "All can say is that the order
stands" And he said the Mayor author
lied him to make such charges as he
saw At.
Director Wilson says that the changes
were made after consultation with him
and that no changes can be made without
his sanction
These remarks came a day or two after
Captain Mills had admitted that he was
'eubordinate of Director Wilson and that
~ must obey orders.
It is evident that there can be no ad-
nl1nistrstion of the police department in
which the public has confidence so long
~ Director Wilson remains at its head.
However fine the purposes Of Captain Mills
may be. he is powerless to ovcrrule his
superior officer The city has no conf
dence in the purposes of that superior to
divorce the police from politics and from
the Incidental partnership in the protec-
tion of the vicious.
