Grave Charges

Affairs Committee, who was morally
lynched by his own party for the crime
Of criticism, has q case 30 prove against
The War Department That may or may
not be true as = question Of human CON
duct 1t does not matter But he indicts
the War Department again, and what
people now want to know is whether the
facts are as he alleges them to he par
ticularly two, namely
u THAT the War Department Is
months behind with the pay OF returning
soldiera, most of whom are out OF money,
and,
(s) That the wounded, SIS they return,
are inadeQuatcly provided for.
These gre questions Of fact which the
War Department should answer immedI-
ately and without evasion.
Secretary Baker says: II have been
giving the matter Of treatment Of SOL
diers in hospitals, including the prompt
payment Of all wages due them, my per-
sonal attention. and corrective measures
have been ordered Immediately made
THAT IS not enough, 1t is incomplete,
indefinite and reminiscent In the pay
ment TO soldiers Of money duo there Is no
room for the exercise OF that passion for
perfection which was one of the great
ans against common senee during the
war, There IS no technique TO be evolved.
If you can feed a soldier promptly. as you
have to do. you can also pay him prompt
ly, provided it seems important enough.
Aud it Is very important
AS for the other charge, surely there
can be no acceptable excuse for made
quate hospital arrangements The slight
est neglect Of the returning wounded is
intoerable,
These are grave allegations. Are thoy
true? The War Department viii please

disregard both Of law and of humanity,
who brought upon themselves debacle

almost Immediately after the signing OF
