DEPLoRABLE 1NEFFICIENCY

A dispatch from Colonta, \. j.. states
that the marines who helped 10 save
Paris at Belleau Wood and douShooES
who gave an arm or a les for the cause
of democracy recited at the base hos
pital there today how they had
sailed from France with $3.50. the first
money that any OF them had seen since
:: late winter or early spring. This con-
ditional was no, exceptional with them
but IL was the usual condition their
comrades faced when they were sent
home sick or wounded.
There have been many complaints con-
ce-ainE the failure Of the government
70 pay promptly the financial claims OF
men in the service and particularly the
men on the fighting front in France.
Two hundred wounded returned from
Chateau Thte.ry had seen only about
$500 apiece Of Uncle Sans money in
several months. Many complaints have
been made against the organization lot
4. the payment OF the allowances to SOL
diers' dependents. From every section
OF the country reports have come Of
payments being from four TO six months
behind time and many dependents suf-
fering hardships thereby.
1t Is unnecessary to say that this il
q deplorable situation. a humlliatins
breakdown Of organization ut tho very
point at which II should not break down.
q. Americans pride themselves on being
business men. on their efficiency. but
this is not Efficiency. 1t is csrclesSness
and incfhciency Of tho worst kind. In
creating any great organization. some
mistakes arc bound to occur but the
frequency Of the particular complaints
against the paymaster's department Of
the army gives good reason to believe
that much Of the complaint is just.
