Among other questions we have
lately tried to solve is this one:
Why is II that the government fur
nishes suits of clothing, military
uniforms, to private soldiers, at a
cost of $3.50 for coat and trousers,
and allows private dealers, to charge
officers $500 for practically the
same? Coming on train from
Nashville, last week, a young officer
told US that his two-piece suit cost
him S45.00 and that substantially
the same clothing, furnished by the
government was valued at $3.50.
The soldier was George Allen, Of
T1pelo, Miss, who had just been
elected city attorney for that town
when he entered the army. Lieu
tenant Allen also said that his
boots cost $500, when $4,000
should have honestly covered the
price. If the government is trying
to catch slackers, thieves. traitors
and such like in its draenet, it
should leave no meshes big enough
to, let through the clothing and
boot-selling buccaneers.

Norway wants food from the

the issue by selling most of its
products to Germany and replaces
same by purchase from the United
