Major Gen. Leonard Wood.

Woods citation read: For especial
meritorious and conspicuous service
as a department, division and camp
commander during the war. He has
displayed qualities of leadership and
professional attainments of a high or
der in the administration and training
of his various commands and has fur
thered in every way during the war
the system of officers training
schools
The honor to Wood came at the end
of a continued but fruitless effort. not
only on his own part, but also thru
the influence of his friends, to sec
service at the head of his own troops
in France.
When his division, the S9th, trained
at Camp Funston. Kan, was sent
abroad, Wood got as far as the en-
barkation port when he was suddenly
taken from his men, ordered to Wash
ington and his troops sailed without
him after a feeling parting.
Wood made personal appeal both
to Secretary of War Baker and to
President Wilson himself to be al
lowed to go to France and lead his
Camp Funston men. This was re-
fused. however, because it was stated
at the war department, Woods serv-
ices were needed more in the train
ing of recruits. He was then sent back
to Funston and trained the Tenth di-
vision.
Wood was a great admirer and per-
sonal friend of Theodore Roosevelt
and is one of the nations leading ex-
ponents of preparedness. He is now
in command of the central depart
ment.
General Scott's medal was awarded
for exceptionally meritorious and
/. conspicuous service as chief of staff
in advocating and persistently urging
the adoption of the selective service
law"

guished service medal on Gen. Il

Munich Editors Have 3 Choiccs-Syn-
dicaIism, Communism, Lose Papers.


Munich April 3.-Munich news
papers were told today that they were
given three choices if they wish to
continue operations-the adoption or
syndicalism, communism or state own
ership. This announcement was made
by the newly appointed economic
ministry official. Doctor Neurath, who
was named at the instance of the min
lister of the interior to handle the so
cialization of the press.
Doctor Neurath has announced he
will make energetic use of the powers
conferred upon him by the diet and
says that newspapers shall henceforth
belong to the employees the city or the
state, and must decide for one of the
three. The bourgeoisie newspapers
will be permitted only limited politi-
cal freedom and will not have the
right to make political utterances.
They will be allowed to publish only
educational and diverting articles. The
communist parties will have the right
to political freedom of the press. Edi-
tors have not ventured to answer the
announcement of Doctor Neurath
since the pressure exerted upon them
effectually prevents public utterance.

Don't worry about old age. A sound
man is good at any age. Keep your
body in good condition and you can be
as hale and hearty and able to "do your

Affections of the kidneys and bladder
are among the leading causes of early

the other organs in working condition,
and you will have nothing to fear.
Drive the poisonous wastes from the
system and avoid uric acid accumula-
tions. Take GOLD MEDAL HARLEM
Oil Capsules periodically and you will
find that you are as good as the next
fellow. Your spirits will be rejuve-
mated, your muscles strong and your
mind keen enough for any task.
GOLD MEDAL HARLEM OIL Capsules

Rel TAPE.

tF4 N
There is much merit to the bills
introduced by Congressman Burton l..
French, of Idaho, to "cut red tape"
in government dealings with the COM
mon people. 1t has long been a burn
ing disgrace that wrongs against citi-
Gems have been permitted to go with
out any effort to right them for de-
cades at a time. Congressman French
points out hat a rural mail carrier
Invent 10 years without pay because
of an error in his bond. He points
out other cases of injustice of the
rankest kind against American citi-
zens because of absolute incompetence
in some department at Washington.
Matters of the most vital Importance
to individual citizens have been
"pigeon-holed' in the desk of some
department head at Washington while
the innocent victim of a department
blunder has suffered for years and
many cases where the claimant has
died while his just claim was held up
by departmental incompetency or in
difference have been known.
1t is known that this government
has been VIGOROUSLY ~mismanaged in
many departments for decades. This
is especially true of the postal and
land office departments.
Congressman French will deserve
great credit it he is able to get his
bill passed and remedy some of these
evils that have been a disgrace to
our government for many, many
years. Our government is supposed
to be one of the most honorable in
the world, yet an account against the
United States government, if held by
a private citizen of this government,
is usually not worth 10 cents on the
dollar, for incompetence, dilatory tao
tics, red tape and other obstacles make
it almost impossible for an individual
to collect a claim against the govern
ment during an ordinary life time.
1t is too frequently necessary for
an individual who has a just claim
against the government to get it al
lowed by congress which, with its 500
or more members, can and very fire.
quently does act upon it by special
legislation in much less time than a
department would require to make an
inquiry into the validity of the claim.
If Congressman French can get
these evils remedied he will be en-
titled to the thanks of the people of
the entire United States and will have
righted one of the greatest wrongs
existent in our present form of gov
eminent. Success to him in his eff
forts.
