INCOMPETENCE

Soldiers arrive from Europe sick
or wounded and find no hospitals
ready for them, says the oregonian.
Soldiers arrive penniless, with
their pay months in arrears, and no
pay awaits them. At best they get
a small advance until the drones at
Washington have sought out their
records and unwound the requisite
red tape.
Allowances and allotments of sol
diers' families are months in arrears,
and women who have freely given
their husbands and sons to- their
country keep the wolf from the door
by selling butter and eggs or by
"eating" their furniture.
Discharged soldiers are poured in
to the mass of the population with
out provision for their maintenance
until they find work, or for civilian
clothing or for their employment
Other countries give their soldiers &
bonus on discharge, sum for cloth
ing and a weekly or monthly allow
ance until they are employed. Othel
countries select for demobilizatioI
first the men for whom there is ur
gent need in industry. 1t is not 81
with the United States. At the pre-
else time when the industry ha
slowed down and has temporarily re
duced its working force pending ad
justment to peace conditions, tn
army has already poured 10000
men into the labor market, but n
arrangement has been made for thei
speedy employment.
They should be put back into a
good position in all respects as the
we're in when they Joined the sci
vice. Unless this is done, the ir
gratitude Of the nation will hea
lasting shame on all who neglet
and forget the soldiers.

GREAT STORES OF FOOD
FOR YANKS ON RHINE

Tours, Dec. 31.-(Correspondence
of the Associated Press.)-Whoever
goes hungry in Europe this winter
1t will not be the American soldiers.
The daily stocks on hand reported by
the quartermasters department Of
the American Expeditionary Forces
gives an idea Of supplies only when
it is remembered they represent re-
serves held between daily consump-
tion and arrivals known to be en-
route. Potatoes furnish striking
example. The stock in hand at the
last report was 100000 pounds
and yet the American forces are re-
ceiving 10000 tons of potatoes a
month, which makes $4,000, 900
pounds chiefly from Ireland. Pota-
toes being perishable 1t would not
be wise to keep double the daily
stocks in hand. Others were as fol-
lows:
Fresh beef, 16,600,000 pounds;
timed beef, 23,700,000 pounds; tin
ned bacon, 26.S0O.0OO pounds; tin
ned salmon, 9,440,000 pounds; flour
166,000,000 pounds; oatmeal, 2,00O,-
600 pounds; cornmeal, 6,000,0 900
pounds; dry beans, $4,000, 900
pounds; baked beans, 27,000, 900
pounds; rice, 100000 pounds;
onions, 100000 pounds; tomatoes,
36,00O,00O pounds; jams, 1000, 900
pounds; prunes, 100000 pounds;
sugar, 2S,000,000 pounds.
This list does not include other
foods running beyond million
pounds like dried vegetables, syrup,
bacon in bulk, hard tack, hominy,
dried and fresh fruits as well as
cheese, macaroni, butter and lard.

GERMANS WANTED HOT
MEAL AND GOT It, TOO

London, Dec. 30.-(Correspon-
dence of the Associated Press. >
A story OF propaganda that proved
boomerang has reached London
from France. In the closing stages
Of the war when the Germans were
surrendering in large numbers, a
British intelligence officer was
greeted by group OF prisoners
with cries of "Hot meal! hot meal" Z"
The officer showed surprise, but
the Germans continued to shout,
"Hot neal" and rub their stomachs.
Nothing doing in hot meals" the
officer replied.
Thereupon the Germans pulled
out leaflets carefully hidden away in
their clothes, and cried, Ticket for
hot meal-ticket."
The leaflets, apparently distribut-
ed from the air, informed Fritz that
II he came in and surrendered he
would get hot meal.
In brief military language the
British officer told the Germans that
he knew nothing Of the origin OF
the leaflets and that there must be
a mistake, but the Germans came
back with:
''Englishmen- always keep their
word. Hot meal! Coupon for hot
meal!"
According to the story, nothing re.
NAMED for that British division but
to set to work at once and prepare
hot food for the hungry prisoners
streaming in, thereby considerably
slowing up the advance at that point
Of the line.

Word comes from Washington
that all charges against LaFollette

to "sit" he can do little harm.
