In Coat Scandal
ExonerQteS Officers

WASHINGTON, July PA formal
statement from the War Department
to-day denounced as entirely unfounded
any lnferences tending to involve army
olhcers IN accusations of wrongdoino in
connection with the contracts for arm
ralncoats The statement follows:
Robert j. Thorne, assistant to the
acting quertermaster general, after a
preliminary investigation in regard to
the ralncoat inspection scandal in New
YORK, says that any suspicion Of the
integrity Of the army officers is with
out shred of evidence to substantiate
1t. The entire situation has been great
~ magnitied to the extent that grave
injustice is being done to the reputa-
tlon of army officers.
1t is impossible to meet the emer-
gency OF suddenly equipping the army
without few sporadic instances of
dishonesty coming to the surface, but
1T Is an outrage to have such instances
magnltied into an unjust accusation of
army officers. Fortunately the intes-
rlty of the army officers is so we'll
understood by the general public that
very few people give credence to these
unfounded accusations.
"The Investigation of the rancoat
inspection system was made at the
instigation Of the Quartermastcr Corps,
which realized that with thousands of
new civilian inspectors. obtained
through the Civil Service Commission,
here and there dishonest one would
be accepted
at is believed by the department that
the final inspection conducted at the
depot will detect all raincoats not
properly fabricated"

Vladivostok to the United States, on
the way to the trenches in France, will

Vladimir S. Hurban said here to-day
The captain has credentials to show he
has been delegated by the Czecho-Slo
wax forces in Russia as special ennis
sary to President Wilson to obtain the
necessary transports.
"There are $4,000 Czecho- -Slovaks in
Vladivostok awaiting transportation
now," said the captain. 1--WE want to
get into the very first trenches and
punish the vandals who are uphoding
the hand of Austria. We cannot fight
Austria, as We are practically un-
armed. But we can get equipment in
America and France, and then our
force of 10000 will be at the service of
the Allies and humanity"
Captain Hurban said he would be ac-
companied by Professor T. G. Masaryk,
president Of the Czecho-Slovak Ma
tional Council, now in Washington, in
