EDITOR
CHARGED WITH
ARMY FRAUDS

PARIS. Saturday. March 23.-Gen-
eral Dubail, the military governor OF
Paris, has asked the French senate to
authorize further prosecution of Sem
ator Charles Humbert, former owner
of LIE Journal, on charges of fraud and
speculation in connection with his
mission to the United States in 1914
to purchase various articles for the
army.
The letter in which the general asks
the authority. according to the petit
Parisien, quotes as justification the re-
port made to the senate on these pur-
chases by Senator Millies-Lacroix.
According to this report among the
purchase were 100000 woolen under
vests and 5000 sets of harness, which
on delivery were pronounced of an in
ferior quality.
He also bought 5,50O.Oo0 horseshoes.
which. owing to the fact that no pat
terms were supplied, were delivered in
irregular sizes and were useless as a
result. The senator also is said to
have placed two orders for blankets
and to have paid double their value
for them.
Senator Humbert, who was vice
president of the senate army commit.
tee, was arrested on Feb. Is and held
for trial on charges of treason. He
has been accused of aiding Bolo
Pasha. the condemned traitor. and on
March 20 was ordered by the Paris
courts to return to Bolo Pash $500, 900
francs with which Bolo tried to pur-
chase another OF LIE Journal.

GEORGE ZURICK GONE WEST"

Yesterdays Nashua Independent
contains the following article an
nouncing the death of a well known
boy whose home was between Glas-
gov and Nashua:
Washington. D. c.. Nov. 4, 1918.
Mr.. Roswell L. Branson,
Nashua, Montana.
Deeply regret to inform you that
Private George A. Zurick, infantry,
is officially reported as killed in ac-
ton November 10. HARRIS,
Adjutant General.
The above message was received
by Mr.. Branson yesterday afternoon,
almost three weeks having expired
since he was killed.
George left Nashua on the 22nd
of July in a Valley county contingent
for Camp Dodge, Iowa. He was sta
toned there only a few days before
he was sent to an eastern seaport
from where he sailed for England,
later going to France. 1t was less
than thirty days from the time he
left Nashua until he was in France.
Last Sunday Mr.. Branson received
a very encouraging letter stat
ing that he had been transferred to
another division and had travelled over
most of France.
While it is improbable that evidence
can ever be obtained it is thought
that he had been in the thick of the
battle only a few days when he met
his death on November 10th, less
than "a hours before the signing of
the armistice and the ceasing of fight
ing.
George has lived with Mr.. Branson
the greater part of his life, first on
the ranch between Nashua and Glas-
gov and then at Nashua. Since they
came 10 Nashua he has always been
Mr.. Branson's right hand nan will
ing at all times to do his share OF
the labors.
He was known to everyone in Nash
ua and vicinity. Always pleasant. al
ways kind-hearted and ever willing
to do a favor, he knew no enemies.
But he has given his life that the
enemies of mankind and civilization
the hun baby-killers-may be crush
ed forever. May he receive his just
reward in the Great Beyond.

DID FULL DUTY AT HOME.
Helena independently

One of the most unjust forms that
reconsideration a take is that of
jeering at men who are wearing the
uniform of the United States if they
have not been abroad and did not
serve in the front line of battle.
There may be men who through
influence obtained "shell proof" posi-
tions, but they are such a negligible
quantity among the patriotic wearers
of khaki in this country, that they are
not worthy of mention. And at that
it might take more proof than the
mere fact that they did take positions
due to influence, to prove that they
were towards.
Thousands of men were kept at
home to make up the cogs of the army
machine, because their special knowl-
edge along certain lines or their abil-
ity made them more valuable here
than in the field. In instances too
numerous to mention, men selected for
home service accepted and performed
their duty with the utmost reluctance
and often were bitterly envious of
those who we're more fortunate than
themselves-those who went overseas
and were privileged to participate in
the great war along the battlefront or
in the rear of the line.
Of course the men who are coming
back from the battlefront will receive
more public attention than the boys
who we're detailed at home to support
the army abroad, but after all the
merit of each is not necessarily dis
similar. Our boys at the front would
have Jared badly if behind them had
not been an army of faithful work
ers. No one will admit that more
promptly than the warriors them
selves.
Therefore the men who served at
the rear, probably with hear burnings
because they could not be among the
chosen company in the trenches, are
worthy of the nations gratitude. They
did their duty and obeyed orders.

LET PUBLIC WORKS TAKE UP
THE SLACK.
(Enrineering Record

Engineering ~Ws-Record)
Each day that labor is unemployed
there is an economic loss to the COM
munity. Every man not employed is
either a public charge or an idle-pro-
ducing unit, and since it is certain
that return to peace basis will take
some time, public works should alb
sorb labor as fast as possible, even
under conditions which might seem
uneconomical on account of high wage
scales and high prices of materials.
Even if the public pays a greater
price for public Improvements, it
prevents the economic loss due to idle
man-power. If, to prevent unemploy-
ment, the army is demobilized slowly,
the public pays for maintenance OF
the soldiers. 1t would be better to
demobilize as promptly as the mil
itary situation permits, increasing the
amount of public work to such an ex-
tent as to prevent unemployment.
Such a course would meal permanent
and substantial returns for the mon
ey spent, whereas the maintenance
of men in camp after the military
necessity ceases is a dead loss.

Therefore it is to the personal in
terest of the banker and the merchant
to encourage thrift and investment
in war savings stamps.
Those bankers who are inclined to
view with some apprehension the
withdrawal of deposits for the pur-
chase of war savings stamps will learn
after war that the every day educa-
tional propaganda connected with the
war savings campaign will have serv-
ed to have educated their communities
into a class of savers and depositors
instead of spendthrifts-so that it is
clearly to the interest of all bankers
to support most heartily the war saw
ings loan-first for their country's
present needs and secondly for their
own ultimate good.
The state of Montana has yet to
raise the sum of 50, 1000 900 to meet its

BELGIUM'S CHOICE.
independently

When King Albert, backed by the
Belgian senate and chamber of rep
resentatives, spurned with contempt
the demand of Germany that Belgium
should be made an open road to
France, Germany laughed at the Bel
gians and called them fools.
Contrast the two peoples now. Bel
GUM is a word to c~onjure with. The
name of Belgium is a badge of honor
around the world. Belgium would not
sell her soul for a liberal bride. Ger
many offered it and would have paid
it and despised Belgium because she
would not take it.
The refusal meant Liege and Lou
vain. It meant deportation and rob-
berry. It meant mutilation of inno-
cence and nameless crimes against de-
fenseless women. 1t meant crucifix-
ton alive and burnings alive. It
meant starvation, poisoned wells,
deadly gases for the civilian popula-
ton as well as the soldiery. 1t meant
four years of the cruelest war in the
history of a ruined country. 1t meant
all this for Belgium. 1t was a ter
rible price to pay for honor; but it
was not too much.
1t meant something to Germany,
too. For Germany it meant the loss
of honor, the scorn of the world. It
meant disgrace u~nspeakable and inef-
facable. 1t meant the destruction of
the German soul and that the very
name of Germany should "become a
kissing and a byword."
But look again at Belgium! Right
has triumphed over wrong. The long
night of oppression has been broken
by the dawn of a new and glorious
day. 1t is night in Germany. 1t is
the high noon of glorified fidelity to
honor, and justice, and right in Bel
GUM. Belgium might have been
rich and dishonored and buried in the
same grave Of disgrace with Germany,
but she chose to be poor and stricken
and despoiled.
Who shall say that whatever Of
sense of rihgt and honor and love for
things of good repute may yet linger
in the German heart would not now
gladly exchange all the immunity
from invasion and wars destruction
which Germany has maintained for
the suffering and the anguish Bel
GUM has endured and the unfading
glory that goes with them? Belgium
has written upon the heart of hu-
mainly a new estimate of national
honor and devotion to duty.

DEMOB1LIZING FOR PEACE.

It is inevitable that the public in
its impatience should find the work
of rehabilitation slow and vexatious.
Of the difficulties in the way of the
immediate cessation of all war activ-
tiles it takes little account. Those
cares it is willing to leave to the gov
eminent, which must wrestle with the
problem. But the demand will grow
that it proceed with all possible haste
to restore the country as far as can
ben done to a peace basis.
At least a start has been made. At
certain training camps men are be-
ing discharged daily in growing num-
bers. There are about 1,700,OO0 men
in the military service alone in the
United States. Before the camps and
environments can be emptied, the men
must be physically examined, one by
one, and their individual accounts
closed up. Speed at the expense of
accuracy would lead to endless COM
plications later. At every camp. de-
pot battalions or other troops must
be retained to are for government
property and stores.
Already $4,000 of the American
troops in England are homeward
bound. Within a few days the rest
will embark. The 9th or New York
guard division seems to be booked for
an early return. 1t has already been
moved back from next the British
front, where it lately saw some OF
the hardest fighting Of the war and
lost heavily. For foreign service
General Pershing will require, it is
estimated, 1900, 900, the date OF
whose return cannot be foretold until
the situation clears. To transport
home nearly 100000 more who have
gone overseas will be a severe tax on
available shipping space for a long
time to come. Even after the wal
with Spain, months interviewed before
the troops brought back from Cuba
were disbanded. An infinitely bigger
task will be on hand when the men
now abroad return.
Toward checking the waste and ex'
travagance of wal an important be
ginning has been made. Secretar.
Baker announced last week that owe
$780, OO, 900 in contracts had beef
cancelled. General Pershing has can
celled a similar amount abroad. Sec
rotary Daniels has cut next years ma
w estimates by $1,180, 900, 1000, or 4
per cent.
Weare moving in the right direc
ton. The people of the United State
were prepared to make unlimited sac
rifices to win the war;. But now tina
the war has been Won they scrutiniz
carefully the sacrifices they must We
face.
