In Italy great work of relief was organized

American that our own Red Cross is adding new

Pike, Marmaduke, Van Dorm,
Charles Clark and other famous
leaders during the stirring days
of the sixties. These facts show
me there is no intention on the
part of the folks at home to deter
the progress Of the army. On the
other hand / realize that the fond
ness held for the men cause their
relatives and friends at home to
desire to see them. To comply
with this desire the men take lnl-
possible chances and as a result
get into serious trouble. | believe
that when these conditions are
realized, these messages OF gloom
will cease to be sent.
Records Of the Camp courts
demonstrate the havoc that is be-
ing played by these appeals OF
parents, wives, sisters and sweet
hearts. They show that six ont
of seven Of the men found guilty
of being absent without leave and
sentenced to strenuous, degrading
and severe punishment testified
in their trials that they were
prompted to leave their commands
by pitiful appeals from their
homes. Had such letters not
been written, these boys, instead
Of being prisoners guarded by
armed men at their heels, would
be happy soldiers of the Division
going diligently about their work.
l appeal to the Governors OF
Louisiana, Arkansas and Missis
sippi to see that this matter is
brought to the attention of their
people.
Thanking you in advance for
your consideration Of this matter
and with sentiments of highest
personal esteem. | am.

LANDLORDS ARE
TO Be WATCHED
Colonel Leroy T. Hillman, Com.
mandant Rock Island Arsenal,
Given New Power.
lCAN COMMANDER HOUSES
Seize Property Of Those PrOfiteer-
ing During Present War-Set
Reasonable Rents.

The strong arm of Uncle Sam is
to be felt by landlords unless some
of them mend their ways. Under
an edict just. issued at Washing
ton and transmitted to Colonel Lee
roy T Hillman, commandant at
Rock Island arsenal, the latter is
given authority to commander the
property of any profiteering land
lord But the order does not stop
here The same drastic measure
applies to the landlord who refuses
to rent or lease his property to
families with children.
Colonel Hilman has instructed
chairmen of the council of defense
to issue a fair warning to land
lords as to what they may expect
If thew persist in violating the gov
ernment's policies. This is TO sup
ply every family with a home at a
reasonable rental.
Speaking of the matter, one OF
the chairmen said: 1T is not Co
lionel Hillman's desire to enforce
these drastic measures unless he is
compelled to do so. But the gov
eminent will tolerate no fOolishness
in the matter, neither will 1t shield
any violator. The landlord must
let out his property at a reasonable
rental If he will not do it volun-
! tarily, the government Will COM
mandeer his property. In this case
fair appraisal of its rental value
will be made and the government
will rent the property to whom
ever It sees fit 1t will be taken
entirely out of the hands of the
( owner It remains entirely with
I the landlords now whether or not
this step shall be taken. They must
behave themselves and if need be
the strong arm of the government
will strike them"
He states the council Of defense
has had numerous complaints of
profiteering landlords. "In some
! cases there undoubtedly is justifi-
cation for a reasonable increase in
rsnts. but nothing like many OF
the landlords are asking"
A New Interpretation.
| When is a house vacant? Under
the general understanding sustain
ed by the people this means when
it isl unoccupied But the govern
ment ampHfies this Interpretation
. considerably, for its representa-
tives say:
when a landlord raises the rent
on a tenant and the latter either Is
obliged or decides to move, immedi-
ate1y under the governments rul-
ing that property is vacant. even
though the tenant has 80 DAYS no
tica in which to move Then the
government may step in. command
eer the property in question. affis
its own rental value and rent it Il
whnmever it desires. The landlord
will have nothing to sav-not ever
word as to it's rental value or tC
whom ii shall be rented. The same
measure applies to sthe landlord
who may refuse to rent his house
TO a family with children"
