Announcement that TIE action against

A Miserable War Graft.

The navy department does not tell the
whole of the depressing story in its lat
est report of the investigation into the
charges that some millionaire bluejack-
cts" enlisted for the war, obtained soft
billets, promotion or other favors by
bribing certain commissioned and petty
officers of the personnel branch, What
it does nsrrate, describing the punish
ment of the grafters, is agreeable to
hear. The court martial has imposed
heavy sentences on seven men found
guilty Of demanding or accepting money
for this fragrant favoritism. 1t appears
that every one pleaded guilty, and the
department. indicates that others to be
brought to trial will be faced with evi.
dence as overwhelming.
Apparently no punitive proceedings
have been, or are to be, taken against
the paying benefciaries of this miserable
graft, nor are their names to be made
public, Why not! They were slackers
and slulkers of singularly mean char
acter. And there is no honest reason for

WATERBURY,
H. c. Whitehill Busily Engaged as Re
gional Director Community Service.

H. c. Whitehill was home from Boston
on Tuesday and put in busy day, re-
turning to Boston at midnight. He at
tended meeting of the bank directors in
the morning and went TO Groton in the
afternoon to see his father. who is in
poor health. Mr., Whitehiil, who has
recently been appointed regional direc.
tor for New England of community serv-
| ice, with office on State street, Boston,
has associated with him on the commit
tee some of Boston's ablest fnanciers.
The national officers are Joseph Lee,
president; Myron r. Herrick, treasurer,
and Howard S. Brancher, secretary. The
national finance committee is particu
| larly strong, noting on its membership
John Hays Hammond and Theodore
Roosevelt, ir. Mr.. Whtehill spoke in a
modest way as to his part but his friends
feel that his great opportunity which
has come to him is Just recognition of
his work on the Liberty loans as well as
his capabilities in many lines. The work
of community service begins where the
war camp community service ends. Com
munity service is said by one TO be the
best national social insurance which can
be had. This is the work which the late
Theodore Roosevelt so strongly urged.
The amount required for the first year
| for community service is S2,000,000. OF
this sum 81 ,324,S4 is to be expended in
the cities, towns and hamlets in doing
the work. Massachusetts share is $780,
| 900. The committee is John Forbes Per-
kins, chairman; Allan Forbes, treasurer,
and Frank o, White, secretary, and Mr.
Whitehill, regional director. When he
was home a good start had already been
made on this sum. This organization
hopes to continue helping to make good
| Americans. The increase Of leisure due
to shorter working hours, and the place
left vacant by the abolition Of the sa-
loon makes such service especially neces-
sary at this time. This community is
! proud TO have one of its number leader
in this work.
There will be racing on the fair ground
