OVERDUE ALLOTMENTS,

vestigate the complaints Of delay
in the payment Of allotments IL
soldiers dependents. A dispatch
from Washington last Friday an
nounced that two committees Of
the House had launched inquiries
while several members discussed
the matter on the House floor.
Representative Rucker of Missouri
was severe in his criticism of the
War risk Bureau. every mail -
he is quoted as saying, brings -
each and every one Of us letters
from wives, mothers, by the dozen
showing that they have received
nothing for months and to the ex-
tent that men are decrying against
that sort of conduct. l denoumce
it from whatever source it comes
It ought not to be so. That bur-
eau has the largest force than any
other bureau Of the government.
The delay Of allotment pay
ment has been source Of COM
plant for a good many weeks.
This newspaper has published let
tiers citing individual csases where
suffering was caused by the delays
Similar instances have been pub-
lished by other newspapers. The
Public Ledger Of Philadelphia
only few days ago presented two
cases, giving the names. and adj
dresses of the dependents involv-
ed. One of these. the wife of a
former motorman now in army
service overseas, had received no
allotment for three months.
With family of small children
to support, she had a difficult
time of it. dn the second case,
the aged mother of a corporal
still in an army hospital in France
notice in July that her al
lotment had been stopped. With
no other source of support. she
was compelled to do scrubbing |
and washing until her sons for
mer employer came to the rescue.
Doubtless the members Of Con-
gress can multiply these citations,
for most of the complaints from
their respective districts probab-
bly, 60 to them direct. It is unfort-
innate that the investigation was
not launched when the trouble be-
gan for it is intimated in special
Washington dispatches that the
delays have been chargeable in !
part to some "division Of author

eau and the War Department.
and bills carrying remedial leg

nclines to the opinion that there

our political prisoners are
held in Jail after all danger from
outside enemies is past, the rad
ical forces of the country will in
evitably interpret their incarcera-

camoufaged as patriotism. There
will be general strikes and insur-

believe and urge that an Act of
amnesty, proclaimed by you, to
apply, not merely to all under

anv other one thing to heal the
wounds Of war in this country,
and to make it possible for us to
achieve in orderly and sensible
fashion the vast industrial reor-

nized as inevitable.
Also. Mr.. President, we would
point out to you that the restric-
tons on publication and speech,
which you have considered neces-

some Of us libertarians have
brought ourselves to consent, not |
without many msgivings and dis
