Appalling Conditions

m MERICANS have learned with a
|IN\ blush of shame that horrible and re-
|u u voting cruelties were practiced in
American prison camps in France. APP
parently we have a military autocracy in
our army that needs to be dealt with sum-
marily and SO completely crushed that
there will not be repetition of such
crimes against our soldiers The investiga-
ton and findings of the special congress
sional committee promise to become a
chapter in the annals of our history of
(which none of us will be proud. If the facts
are as this committee reports them to be,
those guilty.
Representative Bland of Indiana, mem
Der of the committee, the members of
(which returned from France a few days
ago, is responsible for the statement that
conditions in the prison camps were found
to be appalling and that nothing like the
inhuman treatment of our men sent over
seas has ever before been known in the
American army. The outstanding facts
are: First, that the most revolving and
horrible cruelties existed; second, that the
higher officers responsible have not been
made to atone for their wrongs; third, that
no reasonable excuse has been offered by
the war department..
Representative Bland holds that Colonel
Grinstead and General Strong are directly
responsible and that General Harris, the
Recognized military guardian of the presi-
dent, was in the same building where
thousands of outrages were committed;
that no one in the judge advocate generals
|or the provost marshal's department had

hand
The law was designed primarily as
war measure to increase food and

the new time came from the farmers,
who declared the law was working
IRENE early rising. Representatives
of the farmers opened the fight

President Wilson vetoed the repeal of
the law, sufficient majorities in the
House and Senate were mustered to
sustain the repeal.
Railroad officers and employees have
been instructed to turn their watches
