INExcusABLE NEGLECT


We quote below short excerpt
from a long editorial in Mondays
oregonian;
Charges that wounded soldiers
arrive from France without money,
are not paid promptly and are not
sent 70 hospitals are denied by Cen
eral Lord in n letter TO The Ore
yonian which Is published in anoth.
er column. Though General Lord
no doubt believes that the system
which he describes works accu-
rately, the fact Is notorious that
a great many soldiers are turned
loose, not only nj dobarkation points
but at cantonments In this country,
with pay months in arrears, and
many wounded are not sent to hos
pitals. Not only that, but allot-
ments OF soldiers families are far
in arrears, and some are reduced to
serious straits and are relieved BY
the Red Gross. The general public
is not concerned with the question
BY which department these pay.
ments are delayed; 1t knows that
the government has fallen down
in doing It's duty to the soldiers
and their families.
In many respects the government
has done wonderful work In trans
forming the United States from a
practically defenceless to an armed
nation thus contributing to Autoc-
racy's defeat. Yet credit for such
accomplishment viii be lost sight
of If the charges set forth above
are true to any considerable extent.
The American people have both q
practical and a sentimental interest
in their soldiery. They will not
stand for any official callousness or
carelessness or negligence In dealing
with the brave young men who
wear their country's uniform. These
come from every city. town and
village in the land and are near
and dear TO the nations heart.
The war having been won the many
lapses in other respects the prod
igal waste OF time and money in
some departments, contrasting with
the remarkable efficiency in others
will be forgotten and forgiven.
People will merely laugh when they
read that the army of clerks in
Washington are stumbling over one
another and do little but draw
their pay. Yet the least mistrcat-
ment Of soldiers by those In power
will be bitterly resented throughout
the length and breadth OF the Unit
ed States. The democratic admin
istration, whether at fault or not,
will be held responsible; the demo-
cratic party will be held responsi.
Bile, and not all Of Woodrow Viii.
sons indubitable prestige can save
the White House for a democratic
successor. The situation is well un-
derstood outside of administration
circles, II not In Washington; 1t is
also we'll understood that neglect Of
soldiers families inexplicable, in
view Of the plethora Of clerical help
in every Washington bureau--will
not be tolerated. In brief, 1t Is
situation calculated TO make judic.
ious democrats grieve.

Altoona Girl Sends Sweets
and Note to Soldier, Who
Woos by Mail

Altoona, Pa, Nov. 2S.-As the cul-
mination of n rather unusual ROM
ance, Miss Mary Elizabeth Speacht,
last evening became the bride of
Frank j. Hildebrand, recently SOL
dier in the United States Regular
Army, whose home is at Lake Viii
lage, Ind.
The ceremony fas performed at
the brides home by the Rev. A. f.
Heltman. The bridegroom is em-
ployed as car inspector in the AL
toona yards.
The couple did not meet in person
until September 20 of this year. but
they had been corresponding for five
years.
Five years ago this month while
stationed at New London, Conn.,,
Miss Speacht prepared several boxes
of candy which she gave Frank
Price and he took them back to the
Army barracks, one of which he
gave too Hildebrand.
The young lady had placed her
card in the box and the soldier wrote
to her. She responded. they ex-
changed photographs and continued
to write. Soon thereafter Hildebrand
was sent to Honolulu. where his
command was stationed the greater
part of the time since, until July
8. when he received his discharge
and returned to his home. After a
few wekes at his home he came to
Altoona and met for the first time
the girl who became his bride.
