CRITICISM In HOUSE
WAR RISK BUREAU
Debate on Urgent Deficiency Bill
Brings Hot CHARGES.

Severe criticism of the War Risk
Insurance Bureau was heard in the
House yesterday when it was con-
sidering the allowance of SIC, ,000, 900
in the urgent deficiency bill for
maintaining the bureau. Members
of the House charged that the work
of the bureau was not being done.
that allotments made by the SOL
diers were not being paid to their
families and that in some instances
the failure of the bureau to per-
form its work had resulted in the
families of soldiers becoming OBJ
jects of charity.
Representative Sherley. of Ken
lucky. chairman of the Appropria-
tions Committee, and Representa-
tive Sisson. of Mississippi, a mem
ber of the committee, strongly urged
that the bureau be consolidated with
the Pension Office in the interest OF
economy and effective administra-
tion. Mr.. Sherley said this consoli-
dation could be effected by the
President under the authority of the
Overman act.
Representative Madden. of Illinois,
declared that the bureau was the
most inefficient. outrageously or
ganized institution in the govern
ment." He charged that 1t had
thousands OF useless clerks who
made no pretense OF working and
that there was not a clerk in the
bureau who did a days work in a
week"

PERSHING REQUESTS
MINERS TO SPEED UP
Producing More Coal Means Quick
Peace, He SAYS.

Gen. Pershing appears to the
miners Of America to hasten the
coming OF peace by increasing pro-
duction. In a cablegram received
yesterday by DR.. Harry A Garfield.
United States Fuel Administrator,
Gen. Pershing said:
The more coal you produce, the
sooner we shall have peace"
The text of cablegram was tele-
Eraphed Immediately to all mining
centers, backed by an urgent warn
ing from the Fuel Administration,
to pay no attention to unfounded
rumors of peace designed to be-
tray Americans into a dangerous re-
taxation of war efforts. The text OF
Gen. Pershing's cablegram was:
Let there be no shortage of coal.
Lack OF coal means limiting our
war industries: railroads and ship
ping would be slowed down and the
army could not be provided with
means to deliver the telling blows
needed to end the war. without
coal we shall be without guns, and
ammunition to use against the
enemy. The man in the mine helps
the men in the firing line.
The more coal you produce, the
sooner we shall have peace. Every
soldier of the American Expedition
ary Forces expects to be backed up
by the miners OF America, just as
labor in every branch of industry
at home has stood behind us. We
soldiers know that we can depend
on you to do your part as we are
doing ours
