BAKERS DEPARTMENT
 CRIMINALLY WASTEFUL

"A great many of us believe--or, at least, I will speak for myself-I be- lieve from investigation which has been made," said Senator King of Utah, Democrat, "that in many par ticulars the war department has been not only extravagant but criminally extravagant; that in the erection of buildings and in the acquisition of lands upon which to construct build- ings there has been not only no req sonable care, but an entire lack of prudence and care and caution in the selection and in the erection of such buildings.
 Before we entered the war the gov ernment had large number of post and army camps throughout the en- tire United States, many of which were suitable for schools and for plac- ing of large number of officers for training and for school purposes. But since the war began the government has acquired large number of other camps, and millions of dollars--indeed tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars-have been expended in the erection of buildings upon these sites as well as the erection and repair of buildings upon the old sites"
 Senator King declared there was "a determination to persist in the squan- dering."

Ne,us of Soldiers and Sailors
SOLDIERS SHOULD PROTECT
 THEIR WAR INSURANCE

The Bureau of War Risk Insurance wishes to emphasize the importance to service men of one of the provi- sions of the War Risk Insurance act upon the fulfillment of which may de- pend the validity of their claim to compensation under the act.
 The War Risk Insurance act pro- vides that "No compensation shall be payable for death or disability which does not occur prior to or within one year after discharge or resignation from the service, except that where, after medical examination made pursuant to regulations, at the time of discharge or resignation from the service, or within such reasonable time thereafter, not exceeding one year, as may be allowed by regulations, a cer- tificate has been obtained from the director to the effect that the injured person at the time of his discharge or resignation was suffering from injury likely to result in death or disability"
 Many discharged men are not fam iliar with or are inclined to disregard this provision of law and are allowing their rights .thereunder to lapse.
 Request for the certificate men, tioned above should be made to the Chief, Medical Advisor, Bureau of War Risk Insurance, Washington, D. c.

BY WHAT AUTHORITY DID
 AMERICAN TROOPS LAND?

Secretary of the Navy Daniels an nounced Saturday that Ion September g small landing force from the U. s. s. Olympia was landed at Dal- matian port and succeeded in recover ing the town (Trau) and preserving order" Admiral Andrews in report ing the landing said he acted on in- structions from the Supreme Council at Paris.
 When did the Supreme Council at Paris, majority of whom are sub- ject to the orders of foreign rulers, have the authority to order the Amer ican navy or any portion of it to land marines on the soil of a country with which we are at peace?
 1t is supposed under the constitu- tion that the president or the secre- tary of the navy, acting for the pres ident, can alone issue orders to the American navy.
 Has anybody heard of declaration of war by Congress against Italy or any country laying claim to Plume?
 Is this an instance of what may happen any day under League of Nations?

BODY OF MURDERED SOLDIER
 FOUND IN DESERT AT YAMPAI

Mystery surrounds the death of a Canadian soldier, whose charred body was found on the desert near Yampai, 130 miles north of Prescott, last Sun day by sheep herder. The body has been brought into Prescott by Sheriff Davis. Coroner McLane and Constable Wm. Fitzgerald, who declared after a thorough examination of the mans clothing that he was probably dis charged soldier, and formerly mem Der of Go. c. goth Canadian Infantry. No identity disk was worn.
 No one has yet been found who has seen a Canadian soldier in that vicin- ity or travelling on the Santa Fe rail- road through Arizona 1t is thought by officers that the mans name was Fulton, since this name is marked in indelible ink on the waistband of the trousers. Steps have been taken to ascertain his identity from the Cana dian war department.
 Marks on the body showed that the soldier had been shot from behind and then beaten about the head, after which the assailants had built a fire entirely around the corpse. A .3S-cal- ibre revolver was used in shooting, the bullet entering the back and passing entirely through the body, while a bloodstained stone, lying near the scene, was evidently the other weapon used in this atrocious murder. The fire had made the mans features un- recognizable.
 If robbery was the motive of the assassin. it was not entirely success full, since s60 and some small change was found hidden in the spiral puttees worn by the Canadian. Officers be- lieve the murder may have been com mitted by party travelling by auto mobile.

REASON WHY FLAGS
 ARE HUNG HALF-MAST

Originally the practice of hoisting flags on public buildings only part of the way up the flagpoles when a very prominent man dies was a military one. Ever since flags were used in war it has been the custom to have the flag of the superior or conquer ing nation above that of the inferior or vanquished.
 When an army found itself hope lessly beaten it hauled it's flag down far enough for the victor's flag to be placed above it on the same pole. This was token not only submission but also of respect.
 In like manner when famous sol dier died flags were lowered not only to indicate respect to his memory, but also to show that he had succumbed to the greatest conqueror of all--death-- for which flag space was left at the top of the staff.

AMERICAN LEGION WANTS
 SOME VITAL LEGISLATION

The American Legion is represented at Washington by a legislative com mittee under the joint chairmanshir of Luke Lea, former Democratic sena- tor from Tennessee, and Thomas w Miller, former Republican congress man from Delaware. This commit tees task is to further the legion's legislative program, adopted at the St, Louis caucus last May and to keep the joint national executive committee informed of the progress of this and other legislation which the American Legion is advocating before Congress. Among the legislative objects for which the American Legion is work ing, through it's legislative committee, are these:
 1. Adoption of broad and compre- hensive legislation for economic recla- nation of all lands susceptible of rec lamation for the establishment of homes for discharged soldiers, sailors, and marines. The legion has a special committee at work Investigating the entire subject of soldiers land legis- lation. No particular bill has the sup port of the legion.
 2. Prompt enactment of a program of internal improvement, having in view the absorption of the surplus labor of the country, giving preference to discharged ex-service men.
 8. Legislation placing on an equal basis as to retirement for disability incurred in active service during the war with Germany all officers and en- listed personnel who served in the military and naval forces of the United States.
 4. Changes of major importance in the present War-Risk Insurance act embodied in the Sweet bill, as follows: Permission for the insured to elect whether his insurance. upon maturity, shall be paid as an annuity or in one payment; selection of benefciaries without regard to family relationship; increase in basis of awards in com pensation cases to S65 for total tenn porary disability and $100 for total permanent disability; an increase in period of automatic insurance to 120 days after entrance into active service prior to November II, 1918.
 5. The Johnson bill, which calls for the deportation of undesirable aliens and denies readmission to deported enemy aliens. This bill has already passed ip the House and is now be- fore the Senate committee on natural ization and immigration.
 6. Amendment of the Van Dyck bill to extend civil service preference to honorably discharged soldiers, sailors and marines to federal positions all throughout the country.
 '. The War Department Education Facilities act, introduced in the Senate by Senator Lenroot of Wisconsin and in the House by Congressman Foss of Ohio, which extends to all veterans of the world'war nine months education al and apprenticeship training at gov ernment expense.

ONE ATRocITY LESS

Our own petty troubles assume an importance to ourselves unapproached by the woes of the outside world. and as the reading clerk of the Senate stumbled through the foreign sigma lures to the preamble of the peace treaty, amid applause and laughter, he probably felt that it was good thing after all that the Chinese could not conscientiously sign.
