"CANNING FACTORY" FLAYED
BY DENOTED U.S. OFFICERS
House with Letters from Alleged Victims
of Redistribution Board at Blols

The army reclassi1cation camp at
Blois, better known as the dump" or
canning factory" basked in the lime
light of bitter criticism during debate
upon the army bill yesterday.
Indirect charges that the humilia-
tion and injustice practiced upon Off
GERS not identified with the 'Leaven-
worth clique had brought about the
suicide of Col James Cavandar. of
Wyoming. were made by Representa-
tive Gallivan, of Massachusetts. in his
criticism of high army officers now
overseas.
Casualty Report Changed.
Intimation that the War Department
had attempted to conceal the true
facts in the Coll Cavandar case was
inferred from the fact that the casual
ty lists reported him as killed in ac-
ton until yesterday, when a correc-
tion was made, and it was stated that
he died from a self-inflicted wound
The attack by the Massachusetts
Representative was drawn through a
statement from Representative Shall
lenberger, of Illinois, that the can
ming factory at Blois did not exist.
Representative Gallivan announced
that the last mail from France had
brought him forty letters from officers
in the expeditiOnary forces, from colo
nels down to second lieutenants, ap-
plauding and approving his recent ut
terances and giving additional evi-
dence of mistreatment of American
officers. Mr.. Gallivan read a letter
from a major who told him the story
Of the late Brig. Gen. Hill, of Hi
nOis. It was as follows:
Gen. Hill, of Illinois, one of the
most able and conscientious officers
that the National Guard ever pro-
duced, was hailed before that tri-
bunal, whose door should have upon
It All who enter here leave hope be-
hind and told he could accept a
colOnePs commission in the S o. s.,
or a majors commission in the line,
and he stated that he came over here
to fight, and was going to fight if
he had to fight as a private. He went
to the line as n major. and every Of
fiCer and man who knew him testified
to his sOldierly conduct and ability.

.PENRoSE AIDS
D. C. TEACHERS
Pennsylvania Senator Pro-
poses Amendment Pro-
viding for $500 Raise.

Senator Penrose opened the way
for a discussion of the inadequate
salaries paid to teachers in the Dis
trict of Columbia by the introduce
tion of an amendment to the Dis
trict bill yesterday providing in
creases in the existing scale.
As reported by the District Com
mittee to- the Senate, no increases
were granted the teachers in the
pending bill. The amendment of
the Pennsylvania Senator provides
for straight 5000 per year increase
to teachers between the $3.50 and
$1,000 per annum grade. The total
of the increases would amount to
s3e.S20 annually.
Unless this amendment is adopt
ed. the teachers will merely get the
fiat increase in salary provided by
Congress in the legislative bill. This
will amount to $240 annually, un-
less the Senate. in considering the
measure as it passed the House,
should increase this fiat rate to
$3.50, as advocated by the propo-
nents of the legislation.
The amendment of Senator PEN
rose makes it reasonably certain
that there will be debate upon the
question and those who have been
advocating the higher salaries were
confident last night that when the
subject is discussed upon its mer-
its the Senate will grant the in
crease.

months, was detached from the regi-

you that these men are making our

are no better than enlisted men as far

it. The papers at home are either ig-
