frankness. "One reasons very differ
emily when deafened by the clamors of
victory, and everybody believed in vic
tory. At the beginning of July, 1918,
was convinced, l confess it. that before
the first of September our adversaries
would send us peace proposals. Ger
tainly our situation was most danger
Gus, in the sense that we had played our
last card. But what did that matter,
since we were sure We were winning?
1--WE were all the more sure of that
because of certain information of the
most favorable nature which reached US
from the entente countries, NOTABLY
from France. 1t was on account of
this infoSIDstion that the high COM
mand, Notwithstanding the opposition of
the government, was able to continue
bonbarding Paris 1t was obviously
hoped to hasten thus the process of de-
moTalization, about which well meaning

Division. General Hospital 2s. Fort
Sheridan, Ill, though l confess I fear
to send such letters to the War De-
partment for fear it will result in
juriously to the soldier. OF course, a
part Of his letter refers to the failure
of the war risk insurance bureau, but
how can you reconcile your apparent
complacent satisfaction with the pay
department of the Army with the
statements in this letter If they be
true?"

will be no place for the disproportion-
ate Prussia, surrounded by feeble
satellites. The new Germany will
comprise six or seven states. approx
mately equal in Importance. Instead
of Prussia, we will see the state of
Brandenburg and Pomerania; the
state of Hanover and the Lower Elbe !;
the state of Westphalia, bound by fed

Mail Filled With Complaints.

My mail is filled with complaints
and J am informed the same is true
of other members of Congress. These
are not the only complaints being
made against the War Department.
While the government is maintaining
an expensive system of officers under
the Department of Labor to secure
employment for discharged soldiers,
the soldiers in the service who have
employment awaiting them and where
they are needed find it in many cases
difficult or impossible to secure dis
charges. 1t is, I think. just a pure
lack of proper attention or proper
consideration and humane concern.
Another matter to which call your
attention is the refusal of the War
Department to obtain information
concerning soldiers who are report ted
wounded and referring them to the
American Red Cross. Ii a soldier I'M
der the War Department has been
wounded abroad and is in a hospital
of the United States abroad, surely the
War Department ought to obtain in
formation and give it to relatives
here instead of advising relatives to
communicate with the Red Cross. Such
action on the part of the War De
partment seems to indicate an abso-
Lutte insensibility to human feeling.

Mr.. Mann's reply was as follows:

Representative Mann's Reply.
Mr.. Mann's reply was as follows:
Il am in receipt of your favor OF
the 9Th instant. which / shall ask 10
have read in the House. The inefii-
cheney of the bureau of war FISK IN
surance would be burlesque. if it
were not a tragedy.
Unless the many letters which come
to me and other members of Congress
misstate the facts, you are in error IN
believing that the allotments payable
by the War Department are being
made promptly and are not in any
way in arrears. Nor do l understand
that the allotmentS made by the SOL
der are not made for the benefit of
families. The allotment made by the
soldier. as L understand, is made for
the benefit usually of somebody more
or less dependent upon him even in
those cases where there is no family
allowance by the bureau of war risk
insurance.
Il beg to say, also, that ] am receiv-
ing many complaints from soldiers
and have not received it for many
months-in many cases though in
dire need of money. That there is
unwarranted delay in the payment of
sick and wounded men coming home
is beyond question unless the many
soldiers who write are all lying about
it. and I do not believe that.
The government is utterly failing
in its responsibility to the soldiers
and to their dependents in regard to
pay and allowances. Excuses, of
course, will be offered. but what is
needed is attention to the business.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, January 1o.-'@The animosity
of great majority of the Germans
toward Prussia will have a decisive
influence on the future coniguration
of central Europe" said Count Won
HertIing, the former imperial Ger
man chancellor. in an interview with
the correspondent of the Matin three
days before Won Hertling's death.
"At Munich. as at Stuttgart and
Cologne, there is resentment against
Prussia for having so badly steered
the common ship. and let it be under
stood that by Prussia not the country,
but the caste and the political system
is meant Existing Prussia is incom-
parably stronger than all the other
confederated states, but it does not
represent a homogeneous clinical
bloc, but an agglomeration of widely
different provinces. If the present
ideas follow their course. momentous
historical events soon will occur, and
the name of Prussia will disappear
from the map of Europe.
