face life manned, without arm, leg,
eye-and not to curse with black rage
or cry out with dispair-that is an
other kind of courage. But it was
there. Not one man had it, but it
seemed as if all of those wounded
had tit was not the gameness of
the bulldog. 1t was something that
had to do with the soul. 1t was great
ness, it was a thing that compelled
the watcher to uncover his head and
stand barred in its presence.
They were Americans. Perhaps it
was their birthright. More likely it
was a new thing; newly born of the
day and the business of the day.
Whatever it was, whenever and how
ever it came, it was present. This
had been written with repression, with
striving for understatement, with
a wish to tell the truth. The thing
was there. They brought it back with
them.
"How are you making it, sport ?
Here's cup of coffee"
"You come around to me after
you've given some to the boys over
there; they need it."
That is what was there. 1t has read
something noew into the meaning of
the words American Soldier. AS the
doctor said, some new word must be
coined to designate it. 1t was born
of BATTLE and agony.

PRISON HORRORS ARE
FOUND IN THE ARMY
Bland of Indiana Thinks High
Ranking Officers Should BE
Called to Answer.

New York, Sept. 9.-Bringing a
report of Outrageous cruelties per-
petrated on American soldiers" in
prisons of the American eXpeditionary
forces in France the congressional
committee sent overseas to investi-
gate tales of army prison horrors"
arrived here on the transport Aram-
emnon from Brest The party was
composed OF representatives Royal C.
Johnson, South Dakota. chairman;
Oscar r. Bland. Indiana, and Henry
d. Floyd, Virginia.
Conditions in army prison camps
were found very bad" with special
emphasis laid on prison Camp ., near
Paris, the committee stated.
Conditions were appalling" Rep
rescntative Bland said as soon as the
Agamemnon docked. Nothing like
this treatment OF our men had ever
been known before in the history of
the American army. We have copies
OF records. reports and testimony of
.,
to be enabled to definitely fix respon-
sibility.'
Representative Bland held that
Colonel Grnstead and General
Strong were directly responsible for
the unprecedented cruelties" at Pri-
son Farm .. and that If General
Strong who was over Colonel Grin.
stead did not know of conditions he
should have.
He said that General Hart for
months was in the same building at
10 Rue st. Anne where thousands of
outrages were committed. Lack OF
food, heat and air, and nauseating
sanitary conditions were before his
eyes, and the reports showing their
condition were on file in his office,
Mr.. Bland said.
The representative added that Cen.
eral Hart was the military guardian
of the president and "no man in the
judge advocate generals or provost
marshafs department had the bold
ness to recommend his trial before a
courtsmartial or efficiently board"
"Three facts stand out" said Mr..
and revolving cruelties existed second
that the higher officers responsible
have not been made to atone for these
wrongs; third. that no reasonable ex-
cuse TO the same has been offered by
the war department. 1t is clearly up
to them"
Congressman Bland added: "It is
the intention of the committee to see
that every man in any way RESPONSE
BILE for the outrages will be brought
to justice before the forum of public
opinion"
Congressman Johnson said the
party would arrive in Washington
early tomorrow morning ard would
Immediately begin sorting the records
brought over by them.

Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1919-12-26

At the opening of the week the news
was. cabled from Fiume that D'Annun-
zio was to hand over that city at once
to regular Italian troops, commanded
by General Caviligia, former minister
of war, and that France, Great Britain
and Italy had agreed that Italy should
have complete sovereignty over Fiume
and that all the provisions of the pact
of London would be carried out The
alleged agreement was not confirmed,
and at this writing DAnnunzio is still
holding the city. The truth seems to
be that he was asked to give it up on
the promise by the Italian government
that it would be held by regulars, at
least until the Adriatic question was
finally settled. But large part of his
garrison is strongly objecting to this
arrangement. His officers and soldiers
are living in luxury there, receiving
much higher pay than they would as
part of the regular army, and prospects
for work in Italy are bad. Consequent
ly they insist that they be permitted
to remain as the garrison, and the
task of ousting them promises to be
difficult.

under government pressure, to discard
all their interests except those directly
connected with the handling of the

billion dollars will be involved in the
disposing of the side lines the packers
have been handling, but it is stated
the bulk of their business will not be

really began last summer when Swift
& Co. gave up their leather business
and their foreign business to new COM
panies.

pected to follow virtually the plan of
breaking up the Standard Oil company
and the method provided in the Inter
national Harvester company agree
object of the department of justice
in this is to bring about a lowering OF
prices of foodstuffs. Whether or not
this will be the result is uncertain. The
representatives of the packers were
noncommittal on this point, and many
persons were of opinion that there
would be a tendency to increase prices
through abolition of the control that
now exists. If the process of unscram-
bling does no more financial harm to
the packers than it has done to capt.
talists in previous instances, they need
not worry on that score.

BY EDWARD w. PIcKARD.

Like a real tragedy to a great many
citizens of the United States was the
chief event of the past week-the deci-
sion of the Supreme court of the Unit
ed States upholding the constitutional
ity of the wartime prohibition act.
1t was a severe blow not only for the
men who hoped to renew their fast
dwindling supplies of ''private stock
before January 16, when the cOnstitu-
tional prohibition amendment goes in
to effect, and to the dealers who had
hoped for chance to dispose of their
vast stores of liquors, but also to many
banks that had made loans on whisky
certificates totalling perhaps $10O,OOO,-
900. 1t was estimated that the govern
ment would lose in taxes about $780,
100000, and that the loss in physical
value of plants and other property
would be $20OO00,000. The total was
roughly put at billion and half
of dollars.
The cases decided were those of the
Kentucky Distilleries and Warehouse
company of Louisville, KY, and Dry
foos, Blum & Co. of New York, insti-
tuted for the purpose of compelling
the government to release whisky
from bond.
In both cases the court denied con-
tentions of Elihu Root and other at
torneys for the distilleries that the act,
in violation of the constitution, takes
private property without just compen-
sation; that the period of the war
emergency, for which the act was
passed, had terminated; that the law
was an interference with the state po-
lice powers and an undue exercise of
the war powers of congress.
The wartime act, the court held, is
not confiscatory, asserting that more
than seven months were given distil-
lers to dispose of their stocks, which
time the court believed to be adequate.
The act also was not repealed, the
court held by the prohibition constitu-
tional amendment, which, it asserted
is binding not only in peace, but also
in war times.

The United States and Great Britain
have become involved in an unpleaS-
ant controversy over the treaty by
which virtually a British protectorate
over Persia has been established. A
Teheran paper accused the United
States of having abandoned Persia,
whereupon our legation there issued a
statement this country had done its
utmost to befriend Persia but that the
act of some Persian authorities in con-
cluding the treaty with England had
indicated that they did not desire the
friendship of the United States in the
future.
British Foreign Minister Curzon has
taken extreme exception to this state
ment as being undiplomatic. unfriend-
ly and even hostile, and asks that the
impression made by it be corrected In
Persia by our state department. In
the reply from Washington it is plain
ly stated that the United States will
not, at the present time, approve OF
the Anglo-Persian treaty.

Mexico's reply to Secretary Ian
sings latest note on the case of Con-
sular Agent Jenkins was received in
Washington Thursday, and doubtless
gave the state department little salts
faction. In it Carranza said he took it
for granted that the release of Jen-
kins on bail had removed the cause of
complaint, and then declined to have
the proceedings against the consular
agent dropped. He asserted that the
American governments belief in the
innocence of jenkins was not sufficient
cause for removing that official from
the jurisdiction of the Mexican tri-
bunals. So once more it is up to Wash
ington to make the next move, and
what that will be there is no intima-
tion. Senator Fall thinks that our gov
ernment will not depart from its time
honored policy Of permitting Carranza
TO insult and defy it with impunity.

According to what is called authen-
tic information from the highest
sources. the government will not re-
turn the railroads to private owner
ship on January 1, but will continue to
operate them until March 1, or per-
haps for a month longer. This was
good news for everybody and served
to remove the apprehension that the
return would be made before congress
had passed the needed legislation.
which certainly would result in the
paralysis of transportation and busi-
ness and in great general financial
loss. There is no immediate prospect
of the passage of the Cummins bill
which the senate is considering, or any
other railroad bill, and Director Gen.
eral Hines is said to have recommend
ed to the president that the govern
ment retain control until legislation is
effected.
