JOHN SHARP BOOSTS HINDY

During Senator Chamberlains' re-
cent speech on the Rights of Soldiers,
Yazoo's famous orator, John Sharp,
interrupted to pay the following
glowing tribute to the German mill
tary machine. "There are somewhere
between two and three million Ger
man soldiers still with their arms,
armed now, and fighting one another,
in Berlin and elsewhere, and under the
admirable military machine system of
the German Empire they can be re-
modified within AZ hours" Oh boy!
We wager that old Hinderburg will
swell with pride when he sees that
statement. How times have changed
since we were "too proud to fight"
For member of the minority to have
made that statement few months
ago would have been grounds for dis
loyalty charges. Come up for air
William. Let's reserve our military
compliments for the returning victor
ious army.

(By w. j. Melchers. }

On August 1st, 1918, the United
States Government by act of Congress
took over the telephone properties in
the United States, and since that time
the property of the Union Telephone
Company has been operated by the
Government through the Postmaster
General The act of Congress placing
the telephone properties under Post
master Generals supervision requires
him to pay the owners a just compen-
sation for use of the property, but no
appropriation was MADE for this pur-
pose, so that the telephone revenue
must meet tn. expense. For the past
fifteen months the net revenue from
our exchanges has been decreasing
from month to month and for a num-
Der of months past the revenue will
not pay the expense. This loss must
met by increasing the rates. That
revenues are insufficient must be OBJ
vious to ALL No other business has
been able to exist in these times with
out increasing rates. The decrease in
income is due primarily to the advance
in the cost of material and labor. But
wages must be further advanced over
the present scale if the Company is to
furnish satisfactory service to the pub
lie.
In the proposed schedule the ex-
changes have all been divided into
groups. Exchanges where conditions
are substantially similar have been
placed in the same group. The local
rates now in force at the various ex-
changes where conditions are substan-
TALLY similar are not all the same. 1t
is the aim of the Company to remove
by the classification of exchanges into
groups all determinations in rates so
that in all exchanges the rates will be
the same where conditions under which
telephone service is furnished are tele-
phonicaly substantially similar. 1t is
generally known that the expense per
station increases as the size of the ex,
change increases. Likewise, the value
of the service to the user increases as
the number of telephones increases.
1t is the aim of the Company by group
arrangements to make the rates fair
and equitable to all subscribers in the
various exchanges. Further the whole
problem of telephone rates is much
simplified for the public and the egu-
latory bodies by the proposed plan.

This is only one of the many activ.
tiles of the War Department which is
due for investigation and publicity
Charges of the most serious character
have been made against the conditions
of the debarkation camp at Crest
France, from which port practically
all of our returning soldiers must de-
bark. These charges have been made
by officers and privates in the army
but they have been excused by the
War Department upon the ground
that peace found the War Department
wholly unprepared to bring the troops
home and with no plans for their de-
barkation and rehabilitation, anc
that therefore conditions which may
exist at Crest are unavoidable. The
Senate Military Committee is now in
vestigating this.
Some time since, there was a SER
les of articles in several of the metro
politan dailies, showing the breakdown
in the Ordnance Department. The
general charge made in these articles
was verified in General Pershing's re-
port at the close of hostilities, in
which he said that "among our most
important deficiencies in material
were artillery, aviation and tanks"
and that even at the close of war.
there was no heavy artillery of
American make upon the battle fields
of France, and the American troops
had been supplies with heavy artillery
by the French Government, while.

tude and has been most anxious to

meeting our deficiencies in this as well
as in all other respects"
Ordnance Breakdown Investigated
Senator Poindexter of Washington
has introduced resolution calling for
an investigation Of the Ordnance De-
partment. A special effort is being
made in some quarters to forestall this
investigation by the propaganda
through certain publications and
through the Division of Films of the
Committee on Public Information,
which propaganda will purport to
show that the work of the Ordnance
Department was of the highest char
acter and was sufficient and efficient.
Congress is also going to be asked
to make thorough inquiry into the
action of the War Department in
handling conscientious DIRECTORS. 1t
it alleged that evidence is in existence
that officials of the War Department
have practically upheld conscientious
DIRECTORS, even going so far as to
write letters to certain of them at
Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, consoling
them and assuring them that the gov
eminent would do everything in THEN
behalf that public opinion would stand
for.

DEATH OF MRS. JAS. CROssEN

Mrs. James 1. Crossen, aged 81
years, died Sunday at her home on
Corunna Avenue after an illness of
five weeks with pneumonia and menin-
gifts.
Mrs. Crossen was born in Canada,
coming to Owosso twenty-five years
ago, with her husband and six chill
dren. She was a fine Christian wom-
an and devoted mother. Those sur

tiers, Mrs. Lloyd Burgess, Mrs. Harry
Dudley, and Miss Ada Crossen, of
Owosso, and three sons, Harry and
Garfield of Owosso, and James, Jr.,
of Detroit.

Not only that but $685., 100000 has
been taken from surplus receipts of
railroad and express companies and
loaned back to the roads in addition to
the millions from the revolving fund.
Of course repayments to the Govern
ment for its loans from the revolving
fund, if they are ever made, must
come from surplus earnings, but when
those earnings are diverted from that
purpose and turned into further loans
the result is only to sink the roads
deeper into the financial mire.

that elevator conductors in the Food

ranged as low as $3.50. Oother lines

eminent offices.

Soldiers Mail Undelivered

The most recent development of the
breakdown of the War Department
was furnished the Senate Post-offico
Committee on January 9th by Second
Assistant Postmaster General, Otto
Praeger. He informed the committee
"that thousands and probably mil
lions of letters" addressed to men over,
seas had never been delivered to them,
and that there are at present in
France from eight to ten carloads of
first class mail for American soldiers
that are undelivered and that this
mail will be returned to this country
and sent to the dead letter Office. Mr..
Praeger specifically stated that this
trouble was due to the inefficiency Of
the War Department. He said that
the War Department had no system of
keeping names, and that the same in
efficiency which had brought about
this condition with the soldiers mail,
was also responsible for the War De-
partment's delay in sending out allot.
ments to soldiers and their families
and in reporting casualties.
The question of allotments to SOL
diers' families and pay to the soldiers
themselves is another problem which
the War Department has not met, and
which is causing such storm of pro-
test to come from practically every
section of the country and from SOL
diers themselves, as to warrant an
investigation of that phase of the War
Department. work.
On top of all this, the New York
World, an. administration paper, has
issued sensational expose of what it
terms a breakdown of the shipping
board.f 1t charges that our entire
shipbuilding organization has failed
to function, and that the output of the
shipbuilding yards Of the United
States in the year 1918 was less than
one-half the output that was schedul-
ed for 1918, despite the fact that the
expense on these various yards ex-
ceeded by many millions of dollars the
estimate.

FOrd's Eagle Boat" Plant

In this connection, Senator Lodge
of Massachusetts, had placed in the
Congregational Record Of January End
reprints of articles appearing in the
Daily Iron Trade, technical trad-
paper issued at Cleveland, Ohio, in
which it was alleged that the Henry
Ford "eagle boat" plant, which has
been the "show" plant of the navy
Department, has been a failure from.
the standpoint of it's output, despite
the fact that it has been amply financ-
ed.
In the joint statement which form
er Presidents Roosevelt and Taft is
sued to the country, just prior to the
last Congregational elections appeal
ing for the election of Republican
Congress, occurs the following
"The debts which have been created
by this war the people will be paying
to the third and fourth generation.
They have a right to know how these
enormous sums have been expended.
Only a Republican Congress will have
the courage to exact a detailed ana
accurate story of that stewardship.
The response of the American pep
pie to this appeal commissioned the
Republicans in Congress "to exact a
detailed and accurate story" of the
Democratic stewardship. All these in
vestigations and activities which are
now going on would indicate that the
day has arrived when the present Ad-
ministration will have to render an ac-
counting to the American people for
its management of the war.

Detailed and Accurate Story"
Of the War.

Washington, d. C.-Although more
than two months have elapsed since
the armistice was declared and all
fighting ceased on European battle
fields, the American people are still
in doubt as to the personnel of the cas-
ualties of the American Expeditionary
Force. Daily papers are still publish
ing long lists of dead, wounded, and
missing, and the second week in Janu-
airy, two months after the signing of
the armistice, it was announced that
the War Department had put on an
extra force of one thousand (100O)
clerks in order to compile the casual
ties which had not yet been made pub
lie.
Not only have not all of the casual
ties been printed, but much space is
being devoted in the newspapers to
corrections in lists formerly printed.
Men previously missing, are report
ed killed. Many men previously re-
ported killed are now reported wound
ed, and scores of instances are on rec
ord where men reported killed, have
arrived in this country in good physl-
cal condition. In every state, families
who have men abroad in the American
forces are being kept in suspense due
to the bungling manner in which cas-
ualty lists have been handled.

Senator Weeks Discusses Casualties
This subject was discussed very
thoroughly in recent address in the
United States Senate by Senator
Weeks, of Massachusetts,, and in all
probability, there will be an investi-
cation of the War Department in this
particular. Senator Weeks read the
records to show that during one week
in December "the Red Cross received
on an average of twenty letters a
day from parents who have been adj
vised by the War Department that
their sons had been killed on a speci-
fled date. In every one of these cases
the parents wrote that they have re-
ceived communications from their
boys subsequent to the date given by
the War Department" This is only
one Of the many glaring errors and in
excusable delays in compiling and
publishing casualties cited by Senator
Weeks. The Senator attributed much
of the trouble to the fact that the Wan
Department refused to cooperate with
the Red Cross in the matter of col
Letting data regarding casualties and
forwarding same to the families of
wounded soldiers. 1t was brought out
in recent investigation before the
Senate Committee on Military Affairs
that the Red Cross had been in pos
session of thousands Of names of men
wounded or killed which it could have,
and would have forwarded immediate
ly to the relatives of the men, had
not the War Department forbidden the
Red Cross doing so.
