SOLDIERS BROUGHT BACK
 CONFINED IN IRON CAGES

Scathing denunciation of those in authority in the army is voiced by Representative Charles J. Thompson, of Ohio, in urging charges that they have destroyed the national guard, re- duced officers to the ranks by so-called ineficiency boards, sent youths to mil itary prisons for life for trivial of lenses, unnecessarily executed soldiers before mitigating papers reached the judge advocate general, permitted the brutal beating of homesick and she'll shocked soldiers, locked up sane white soldiers in wards and metal cages with insane whites and negroes, and caused arbitrary delay in discharging enlisted and drafted men, failed to give, proper promotions and otherwise comported themselves with "favorit- ism, inefficiency, brutality and pusil- lanimity."
 eff the crimes committed against the soldiers of the United States, both in America and abroad, by the auto cratic military authorities" he says in a report just issued, "could be chron- icled, library of considerable dimen- sions would be required to hold them. Now that men are being discharged the truth is coming out. Some meth ods should be devised by Congress to rectify, if possible, some of the great wrongs inflicted upon soldiers, and empty every prison in the United States of every prisoner not criminal under civic laws. I could be arrested for what think of the present mili- tary cabal, which, in my opinion, could give Satan pointers on how to run Hades."
 The ire of Thompson has been reused by witnesses introduced by him as the result of his resolution to investigate the Walter Reed and Saint Elizabeth hospitals, in Washington, D. C., and interrogated during the past week by Representative McCulloch of Canton, a member of the House committee in- vestigating the war department.
 "At Savenay, in Hospital 214," said one witness, "some of the mental cases were really insane, but most of

REVOLVING CRUELTY FOUND IN THE ARMY
 PRISONS IN FRANCE

Bringing a report of outrageous cruelties perpetrated on American sol diers in prisons of the A. E. F. in France, the congressional committee sent overseas to investigate tales of army. "prison horrors" arrived in New York last Saturday on the transport Agamennon from Brest. The party was composed of Representatives Royal c. Johnson, South Dakota. the chairman; Oscar F.. Bland of Indiana and Henry D. Flood of Virginia.
 Conditions in army prison camps were found "very bad" with special emphasis laid on prison camp No. ?, near Paris, the committee said.
 Conditions were appalling" Repre- sentative Bland said as soon as the steamer doeked. 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 in- spectors, court-martial officers, so as to be enabled to definitely fix the re- sponsibility."
 Representative Bland held that Col. Grinstead and Gen. Strong were Ji- rectly responsible for the "unprece- dented cruelties" at prison farm No. 2, and that if Gen. Strong, who was over Col Grinstead, did not know of con- ditions, he should have.
 He said that Gen. Harts for months was in the same buildings at 10 Rue St. Anne, where thousands of outrages were committed. Lack of food, heat and air, and nauseating sanitary con ditions were before his eyes. and the reports showing these conditions were on file in the office, MT. Bland says.
 The representatives added that Gen: Harts was the military guardian of the president, and "no men in the judge advocate generals or provost marshal's departments had the bold ness to recommend his trial before court-martial or efficiency board"
 "Three facts stand out" said MT. Bland. First, that the most horrible and revolting cruelty existed; second, that the higher officers responsible have not been made to atone for these wrongs; third, that no reasonable ex-- cuse for the same has been offered by the war department. It is clearly up to them"

If we did not do just what we were told in exactly the way it was told us, the boys were jumped on and beaten up. There was one man named Mooney. He had gone crazy over religion. He never bothered any one and just sat on his bed all day, saying his Hail Mary and counting his beads. The side of his face was skinned where a couple of men had jumped on him and beaten him.

Choosing Your Furs

~ URS should be chosen with as
careful a regard to the wearer's
type, as hats. The inherent
beauty of a pelt may make 1t emf
nently desirable, but doesn't by any
means insure its becomingness. Here
are some general hints that may help
The woman of unimpeachable
grooming can wear those shaggy, long
haired furs, like monkey, with the as
surance that they will only emphasize
her grooming by contrast. But let the
more usual type of woman with a
stray hair out here, and maybe a loose
thread on her suit. drape herself with
the same sort of fur, and she will only
succeed in looking less careful"
Another thing TO remember. too, in
the selection of furs is that some are
decidedly youthful, Squirrel comes in
that class, so does beaver. Mole is de-
cidedly the matron's fur, as is seal.
The foxes are excellent for the ma
tron of palpahle youth.
Then, too, one must always have the
ultimate purpose of furs in mind. They
are primarily intended to enrich cos
tune. not to detract from it. That is
another excellent reason for cultivat-
ing a keen and observant eye for har-
mony and contrast both in color and
line. Either have the contrast marked.
or the harmony almost unnoticeable.

COMMON SENSE VS.. JEALOUSY.

COMMON SENSE vs.. JEALOUSY.
" YER since woman entered bust
ness life, the wife at home has
felt certain sense of uneasi-
ness. Fear that her husbands asso-
citation with his female employees might
make for the undoing of home ties,
has beset the timid wife.
Usually, the fear has been ground
less, despite an occasional distance to
the contrary. Business girls. no less
than others, have a keen sense of the
relative value OF orthodox marriage
and unorthodox romance.
Such attachments arise. it is true,
but their number is small in compari-
SON to the opportunities When the
attachment does exist, the wife does
not better matters by upbraiding her
spouse. She merely makes him stub

Even though the man may be tempted,
he is going to consider wells before
tsking. the final step.
And the girl, too, is going to cnnsid-
er the effect upon her matrimonial
chances. She usually will stop before
her name has been furnished.
Business is mystery to most wom-
eni. But in this, as in all else, they
must take some things for granted.
One is this; If they can not trust
men-and they can trust most men
more than they think-they can trust
women TO keep their value in the mar
riage mart above par.
Merely because she enters business,
no girl loses this universal feminine
instinct. 1t is safeguard which the
wife at home may safely count upon.
