HEAR FROM PERSHING
Friends Say He Will Demand Airing
of "Guardr Charges.

Washington, Feb 13--If the next
congress does not investigate all the
charges that have been voiced, in con-
gress and out, of unfair treatment of
national guard officers by General
Pershing and his staff, General Perish
ing himself, upon his return TO Amer
lea. will demand that congress make
such an investigation and give him
hearing.
That according to member of the
general staff of the American expedi-
tionary forces and close friend of the
general, is said to be the firm purpose
of General Pershing at this time This
member of the staff. just returned
from France, is quoted as saying that
General Pershing has been deeply in
censed at many of the charges made
against himself and his general staff
by returning officers-especially as he
is in France and has no opportunity to
meet them.
The view is held by the regular
army officers, who made up the gen.
eral staff largely, that the American
people have only heard one side of the
story, and that the other can't be told
until they get back

CHANGE ARMY RULES
Modern Methods of Treating Military
Prisoners Are Worked Out.


Washington. Feb. 13.-Moderu
methods of treating military prison
ers and of keeping men liable to be-

commended by the recent conference
here of commanders of disciplinary

rotary Baker. It was announced to-
day that the adjutant general had
been instructed to see that sixteen spe-
cific lamentations. which involve
important changes both in recruiting
machinery and in the handling of Of
tenders were worked out in regula-
tons.
The situation at Leavenworth bar
racks. where 1000 prisoners went on
strike some time ago and now are
quiet and working under an -armi-
stice agreement played consider
able part in the deliberations of the
connection, Secretary Bakers an
nouncement today pointed out that a
survey of the inmates at Leavenworth
made by the medical department dis
closed that there are three groups
among the prisoners. the first incIud-

classified as men who are military Of

BILE That this is not due to the strict
discipline Of the army is attested by
the finding that over 40 per cent of
all the prisoners had histories of de-
linquency previous to their admittance
into the army"
The other two groups are composed
of men of extreme emotional insta-

Oscar r. Olson, who is now with the
army Of occupation in Germany. The
letter was written Dec. 9th and among
other things Oscar says: Il
Suppose you think l am rather slow
about answering your letter, but I've
been SO busy moving. We have been
hiking for three weeks and we are not
through yet. We certainly have cover
ed lot of ground.
I've seen lots of pretty scenery while
travelling through so many different
countries. Luxembourg is sure pretty
country. I am now in Germany but
don't like the looks Of the country at
all. It's SO hilly. We've been climbing
hills and now we are starting to go
down hill. Wen have it easy for a
while.
1 don't knoE when we will start for
home, but it can't be too soon for me. l
am certainly getting tired of this coun-
try. Have such nasty weather all the
time. It's been fOggy ever since we
started this hike and think it will end
up in big snow storm. ! suppose it

French kids come around evenings and
rap on tin pans so we can sleep, as we
have been around so much noise.
The boys were hot on the trail Of the
crown prince, but they just missed him
by hairs breadth. However, they
found his nest and many pieces of stone
and other parts Of the building were

COUNTY AWAY BEHIND

The Red Cross campaign is still lag
ging in Webster City and generally over
Hamilton county. A committee of la
dies started out last week to make an
individual house to house canvass OF
the city. This work has not yet been
completed, but the results thus far re.
ported are very disappointing.
Reports of the house to house car
vass thus far show only about 600 new
members. The total membership from
over the county for the year 1919 will
not run above $500. When this is com.
pared to the 1900 membership main
tanned in this county for 1913, the al
most failure of the present campaign
may be realized.
Memberships in the Red Cross are 81
for adults and % cents for children.
The war is over, but the work of the
Red Cross is never done and every man
woman and child who was member OF
this splendid organization last year
ought to continue his membership in.

Chamber Of Commerce Dinner.

At meeting Of the board Of direc-
tors of the Webster City Chamber of
Commerce Friday night arrangements
were started looking to the holding of
an open meeting of the organization
Wednesday evening, January 8. At this
time it is planned to hold smoker or
6 o'clock dinner. This affair will be-
complimentary to all members.
During the past year the Chamber
of Commerce has devoted all its ener-
gies to war work of various kinds and
there has been little opportunity or rea-
son for calling the membership togeth-
err, though different bureaus and many
standing committees have been unusu-j.
ally active and many members have givfT
en- freely of their time to the patriotic
work in hand.
1t is the belief of the board that the
total membership ought to be called to-
gether at the very earliest possible MOI
ment in order that those who have been
active the past year may give an ac-
count of their stewardship and in order
that new activities may be mapped out
and also to permit the membership to
discuss the matter of the election of six
new members on the board of directors.
A committee was named to have
charge of the open meeting next We'd
nesday. The members are e. E. Mason,
julius hermann and w. F. Cole. This
committee will decide whether this Op-
en- meeting shall be smoker or a six
O'Clock dinner and will also find a place
to hold it. A special effort will be made
lat that time to get every member of thel
prganiZat ton out.
The annual meeting will be held JAM
uary ID. At the open meeting this week
it is expected that twelve men will bf
nominated for the directory board from
which six will be elected ut the annua

board, six of whom retire each year.
Despite the fact that the quarantine
has prevented any meeting of the Cham
Der of Commerce as a whole, there has
been much interest in the organization
and it is expected that next week.
