With the approval of President Will

The high cost of living was discuss
ed in the house by Representative
Fess, Republican, Ohio. He said
wastefulness during the war was

law is not tenable," said Mr.. Fess.
HE has all the law necessary to
prosecute the profteers. The only
thing necessary is to use the authority

"The real step this administration
must take is to diSmantle this war

THE Job
BEFORE TRAINING
Major Cohen Thinks Too
Many Disabled Trained
Along Same Lines

London, February 1S.-Seated in chair
in the House of Commons today, because
he had lost both legs in action while
fighting in France, Major Cohen, mem
Der from Liverpool, delivered an impas-
stoned address in which he pleaded for
honesty on the part of the government
in dealing with disabled officers and men
of the army and navy.
1t was the first debate on the pension
question. which promises to become one
OF the most stirring features of the ses-
sion. One speaker charged that prepar-
ing disabled men to meet the realities of
life had not been carried very far, be-
cause only 80 officers and less than 5000
men of the hundreds and thousands of
wounded had up to this time been given
technical training. Another charged that
the discharged man who was physically
fit was in much better situation than the
sick as tubereular soldiers were being
charged $175 week for treatment In
sanitoriums, although they had already
paid for this in their national insurance.
These and other charges brought from
Major Cohen the flat statement that 1t
was not training so much as work after
they were trained that disabled soldiers
desired. In fact, he was opposed to the
in certain centeFs, because only limited
number of trades could be taught and
there was no assurance of subsequent
employment when the government turned
the men out. He believed that disabled
men should be apprenticed to reliable
firms who, when the men had mastered
trades would be only too glad to retain
them in their positions as they would
know Just what they could do, and could
wa qccOrlinPlV
These men have their pensions, whlch
Major Cohen said he hoped would be
enough to enable them to live comforta-
bly, But every man wanted something
else. Millions of men had been wounded
and now they were back in civil life they
wanted something other than thinking
of the war and it's effects. They wanted
something to do, something to look for
ward to. The totally disabled men, ne
concluded were worthy something othef
than being observed as incurables.
During the debate it was brought Out
that an officer, leading his battery from
the line had been thrown from his morse
and killed The application of his WIDOW
for a pension had been refused on the
ground that he had not been killed IN
action.
Total pensions and allowances granted
to January l last was given as 1.7S0,o0o
and to these figures fresh awards num-
boring 5000 to 10000 were added week
ly. The current financial year will show

GERMANS ARE STILL
THICK IN BELGIUM
Government Having Diff
Guilty in Getting Rid OF
Hun Civilians
BY AssocIated Press

Brussels. February 26-Despite the
passing Of a law providing for the ex-
pulsion of enemy subjects from Bel
GUM, numerous German civilians are
often seen walking the streets of this
city and other large cities in Belgium
at the present time. While the law
went into effect more than month
ago, the Belgian government is exper
fencing as much difficulty In getting
the enemy civilians out of the country
as the allied soldiers had in expelling
the enemy army from the trenches.
The minister of justice has found the
undertaking a greater one than he had
expected In the Belgian Chamber yes
terday Deputy Lemonnier, who acted as
burgomaster of Brussels during the en-
forced absence of Burgomaster Max in
Prussian jails and until he was removed
himself to Germany, asked Minister of
Justice Vandevelde what measures he
intended taking to expedite the unde-
| sirables beyond the Rhine. Deputy Lee
monnier brought the minister's atten-
| ton to the fact that several Germans
were walk ing the streets of Brussels
with impunity, and that some of them
had been recognized as being pail
| agents of the kommandantur during the
occupation.
| kdHueTNelQe T6plleu. Inc ministry
of Justice is doing its utmost to rid the
country of German civilians, but the
| difficulties encountered are formidable.
! In times of peace undesirable are es-
| corted to their frontier, but since the
signing of the armistice, the allied gen
eral staff had refused absolutely to al
| low Germans to pass through the zone
| of occupation. Holland permits them
| to go through the country, but not sing
| ". Groups only are allowed in transit.
At the present time one train of unde-
| sirables is leaving daily. Beginning
February 23 two trains will leave for
| Holland daily carrying an average OF
! 1900 Germans every day from Belgium.
| An idea of the number of Germans in
Belgium before the war and the still
greater number who have elected to
make it during the occupation what
! they thought would ne their permanent
| living place, may be gathered from the
fact that trains are expected to leave
| for weeks and perhaps for months.
! The case of German subjects who
have resided in Belgium for long years
have married Belgian women. and
whose sons have fought against the
! Germans, is particularly sad. Under
the terms of the law they should be ex-
PEELED along with the others, as they
have remained enemy subjects. Van
dervelde said. however: 1T is impossi-
| for me to send that class of Germans
out of the country"

The RoyaI Bachelor of Siam

From 1.-THE Land of the White Elephant, ."
by Frederick Dean, in Asia maya
zine.
1t is a curious fact that while the wom-
en- of the lower classes in Siam have
always enjoyed the greatest freedom,
participa ting and competing with men in
the business and pleasure of life, the
ladies of the royal household have been
kept in the background appearing at
only the most private social gatherings
and never at public or official functions.
AS all former sovereigns had in their
harems the cream of the aristocracy of
the country, and. as they inevitably felt
a hesitant chivalry about exhibiting their
wives in public. they barred all wom-
en- of rank from sight. The sovereign is
expected to have in his harem a num-
Der of every influential family in the
country, for it is considered that in no
other way could he be in such close
touch with the people of his kingdom.
Polygamy has. therefore, been considered
an obligation of royalty. But, curious
~ enough, the present reigning mon
arch is a bachelor, the first and only
bachelor who has sat upon the throne of
his fathers in 2500 years. And thereby
hangs a tale, for marriage by a Siamese
sovereign has meant not the simple TAX
ing of one wife, or a dozen, or even a
mere hundred, but the wholesale adop-
ton of a thousand or more. The young
kings father and his fathers father, and
each one of the long line of kings pre-
ceding them, had many wives. His IA
Their had between 1000 and 5000. And
when the young crown prince returned
from his long stay in Europe-he had
passed third of his life there-he was
told by his royal father that there had
been selected for him a number of court
beauties from which he could take his
choice of hundred or two for his harem
But the prince would have nothing to
do with this wholesale acquisition of g
husbands holdings. when l marry" he
declared to his astonished father, cit will
be to one wife and to no more, and she
shall be the one queen of my heart ant
/ the one queen of my realm
