RETURNING SOLDIERS
NEED NOT PAY FARES
Government Will Transport
Men Discharged or Furlough-
ed for Distress in Families

Soldiers returning home from over
seas through furlouyh or discharge,
granted because of distress in their
families, need not pay for thcr own
transportation.
This announcement. by the home scrv-
ice section of the American Red Cross,
supcrsedcs an original order OF the War
Department.
An order was issued some time ago
permitting an enlisted man serving with
the A. f. r. or with the army of occu-
patton in Germany to apply fo- dis
charge or fur,ough to the United states
because OF distress or death in his fam
ilH The order, however. carried with it
the provision that all such enlisted men
pay their own water transportation.
amounting approximately to $40
The new order provides that all men
relieved from active service with their
units in Europe, either for furlough or
discharge be formed into casual com
panies for discharge or furlough, as the
case may be, and shall be returned to
America at the expense of the War De-
partment. The new ruling also pre-
vides that men sent home for discharge
be sent to the aviation concentration
camp at Garden City, l.. l., and men
forming the furlough companies be fur
loughed at the port of embarkation.

of the league are jubilantly asserting

According to the view of the matter
taken by Senator'S the apparent deci-
sion of the Paris conference. in the
absence OF President Wilson, to sepa-
rate the proposal for a league OF ma
tons from the general peace treaty is
not a death blow to all efforts to form

that the present instrument is doomed.

INSISTS CROWDER
WAS CENSURED
Colonel Harvey Publishes
Putative, Text of Repri-
mand by March
HIS ORDERS NULLIFIED
Provost Marshal Instructed to
Revoke Certain Edicts and
Submit to Staff

Special TELEGRAM 10 EUcnino Public Ledger
Washington. March 13.--The contro-
versy as to whether General March as
chief of staff, had reprlmanded Provost
Marshal General Enoch II. Crowder on
the ground that the latter had exceeded
his authority on certain occasions, was
renewed today by the assertion OF Col
oncl George Harvey In his weekly that
the reprimand had been given, despite
the categorical denias authorized by
the War Department,
referring to the den'als. Colonel Har-
vey said:
Some one has deliberately sought to
deceive the public ITO use no stronger
term).
He then proceeds 10 support his as
sertion by quoting the following, which
he says were the exact words Of the
reprimand, and were contained in an
official bulletin sent TO every member
of the general staff:
The Chief of Staf reprimands the
Provost Marshal General for having
trespassed beyond his authority. He Che
Provost Marshal GeneraD will revoke
certain orders which he has issued and
will issue none hereafter without au-
thority from the Chief OF Staff
The War Department authorized
statement February 4 that General
Crowder's entire military record was
unmarried As an explanation of the
origin Of the story that General March
had reprrnanded Crowder, il was said
that there had been n difference Of opin-
ion between the two on the subject OF
medical examinations and that letters
had been exchanged on the subject. An
abstract of one OF the letters the OK
PLANTATION continued, had been construed
by General Crowder as Implying rep
rimand and he had taken It up with
Secretary Baker.
The latter, according to the War De-
partment statement found that no rep
rimand was intended and had the Ian
guage altered.
This explanation of the situation ap-
peared entirely plausible at the time it
was made, but in the light OF the pub
lication of the text of what purports
to be the official reprimand, those who
have interested themselves in the case
feel that an explanation is in order.
Representative Mckenzie. OF Illinois,
in the last days of the Sixty-ffth Con-
gress. introduced a resolution asking
for the complete correspondence be-
tween General Crowder and his superb
ors, but the resolution died in commit
tee. Another resolution was introduced
by Representative Siegel. of New York.
proposing that the Speaker of the House
appoint a special committee to investi-
gate various charges affecting the War
Department, including the one that Gen
eral Crowder had been reprimanded.
Secretary Baker and General March
are absent from Washington on an in
spection trip of all the military camps
in the United States.

Salisbury Resolution .
Acts as Boomerang on
Uncle Sam as Landlord
By JEAN KNOTT.

This is a little story OF how the
salisbury anti-eviction act hit back
at Uncle Sam in his generous capac-
ity as District landlord.
Suppose you were paying rent to
the Government for a fairly comfort
able home at the rate OF 81 a year
or even So a month, enjoying at the
same time q nice income from lodS-
ers, wouldn't you seek protection, too,
under the Governments own anti
rent profiteering law II Uncle sam
tried to obtain just a trifle more rent
to help tide himself over hard
timeS?"
OF course, you would, and that is
just exactly what Mrs. Davis OF 232-
236 New Jersey avenue; Miss Ida
Marshall Of % 8 street and. other
keepers Of boarding houses for war
workers did when Uncle Sam tried to
raise their rents.
Government Feels Pinch.
How the Government feels the
pinch of the Salisbury law, which,
b. the way, has been extended for
ninety days after peace. is related in
the annual report of the United
States Housing Corporation submit
y
For many years the Department OF
the Interior has owned twenty-five
residences in B street and New Jer-
sey avenue. near the Capitol, which
were turned over generously to the
housing corporation in September,
1918. Five OF these houses were va
cant and after a little investigation,
this is what the housing corporation
reported:
The others 1.-THE twenty already
leased), wer already occupied by ten
ants who were paying from 81 to So
per month for rent. The construction
division therefore proceeded to put
six homes in good condition, but were
stopped because Of the signing Of the
armistice.
THE six tenants, although their
houses were filled with dodgers,
showed no disposition to make what
we considered reasonable readjuSt-
plents OF the rents and the Salisbury
resolution made il impossible for US
to raise the rents without the consent
OF the tenants. AS they were all ten
ants originally of the Department of
the Interior, it was decided that the
department could best handle the sit
uation, and all the above mentioned
houses have now been surrendered to
the Department Of the Interior"
IS n Month for Rent.
Miss Ida Marshall, who lives at 81
E street, where she has resided for
thirty years, is one Of the tenants
who pays 50 a month for rent and
took refuge behind the skirts OF the
Salisbury law when the corporation
went a-begging for higher rents. She |
has twelve occupants in. her. house.
Another tenant, who has thirty-tWo |
dodgers: has been occupying 29-31 B |
street for about fourteen years, and |
pays So a month for rent for each of |
the two houses She also took ad- |
Of the Salisbury law and no |
one denies her right to do so.

The captain replied that he reported
