WANTON WAR WASTE IS
ATTACKED BY COCKTAILS
Quartermaster General Riddles the
System of Purchases In Vogue
In Departments.

y Washington. Extravaganza and
waste of the War Department in the
purchase of supplies for the army dur
ing the prosecution of the war have
been pointed out by Major General
George w. Goethals, builder of the
Panama Canal, in testimony before hte
House Committee on Expenditures in
the War Department.
He said that in 1917 he had discuss
ed with Secretary Baker the advisa-
bility of appointing Minister Of Mum
itions, but the President came out
openly against it and nothing more
was heard of it. In 1913 he called at
tention to the fact that the various bu-
reaus of the War Department having
to do with the purchase of war sup
plies were competing against each
other, which forced prices for all of
them much higher than they would
otherwise have been. The Navy was
also competing with the Army for the
purcase of clothing and the Postotfice
Department with the War Department
in the purchase of cotton goods. He
urged that all purchasing be done UNI
der a single head When the armistice
was signed the old system was still in
vogue, however, despite the fact that
the President, under the Overman act,
had full authority to consolidate any
bureaus.
Gothels declared that when he be-
came Quarmaster General in Deem
Der, 1917 he found the entire War De
partment badly shot up. He found a
fearful dIortage of clothing and blank
cts, serious congestion of other sup
plies at the seaboard as the result OF
lack of organization, having accumu
lated more rapidly than shipping IA
cilities were made available, and the
Ordnance and Signal Corps competing
against eac bother in athe purchase
of trucks. He criticized the system of
10 per cent. profit plus cost on con-
tracts as filling the pockets of the con-
tractors and initiating against eco
nomy. He said that at the beginning
of the war he had urged upon the de-
partment government force account
used in the building of the Panama
Canal. Under this system the govern
ment employed the labor and let the
contracts only for the materials. Such
a system with competent engineers in
charge of each cantonment would
have proven more economical and
On the Shipping Board
he said he had permitted no such con-
tracts to be made.

Roscoe Dungee, who was the chief
spokesman for the negroes, declared
that much As the iawleSsncss on the
part Of the negroes AZ present is a
result OF mobs and lynchinR which
has 10 an extent destroyed confidence
OF negroes in peace officers. who he
alleged fail TO do their duty in the
protection OF negroes from mobs.
He suggested amendments TO the

prove transportation conveniences oil
the negro, and the adoption OF rule
by street railway companies which
would provide that all white people
enter cars at the front and negroes a,
the rear. This, he pointed out,
would prevent congestion OF a
mixed crowd and eliminate one
source OF trouble.
