Explains Why. Local Board
Movement Should Not
Be Made Effective.

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 2s.-what
North Dakota county draft board
thinks Of the proposal Of Chairman
Abraham K. Cohen of. district board
No. 4 Of Massachusetts,, that all men,
bers of draft boards be commissioned
in order that they may display their
uniforms and emblems in paradesH and
at banquets and public places, is ex-
pressed in the following letter to Mr..
This board is today in receipt Of
your favor: You are strongly in favor
OF a brevet commission, so you may
wear h uniform Of the rank so OBJ
tanned. join clubs, probably appear in
parades: and become a real veteran
In h future. That is a highly laud-
able ambition, and the persons en-
titled to wear these trappings Of rank
and outward manifestation of having
served In the armed forces Of the
United States will be proud men and
rightly so. However, what is bothering
This board Is, what have we done that
Is out Of the ordinary? AS members
OF draft boards have we really sacri-
feed anything? Did we not have three
meals a day? Did we not sleep in our
usual beds? Dig we really do anything
wonderful?
1.-THE ambition to belong to an off,
GERS. club Is pardonable, but he that
would wear the golden spurs Of
knighthood nus win Them Did we
win these uniforms by calmly stay
ing at home and doing clerical work?
Not at all. Why Is not every stay-at-
home entitled to similar recognition?
Is the worker in. the munition factory,
the worker in any of theNthousands Of
war activities, any less entitled to
these public manifestations? Not at
all. :
"As one small board, in a small
state. n yet a state that furnished
its soldiers at the least cost per cap
ita of any state in the union, save one,
this membership trusts that our mem
bers in congress will NOT authorize

our reward be the personal satisfac-
ton of having lone tie work the gov
eminent asked us to do,

is 1T A CASE OF
"SOLDIER BEDAMED 2"

Great complaint is being voiced in
Congress and throughout the country
because the pay and allotments of the
soldiers are in arrears. In the House,
Representative Mann attacked the War
Department for this condition, which Is
fast reaching the proportions of scan
dal. Hundreds Of wounded are arriving
in the United States without funds and
practically penniess. One thing is GER
tain, Congress should take steps to i'm
medately correct this deplorable con-
dition, and the officers in the War De-
partment or in France who are respon-
sible, should be kicked out of the service
in disgrace. War Department officials
explain this condition by blaming it on
"red tape. The fact is, there is incom
petence somewhere. The blame should
be placed where it belongs and swift
punishment follow for the guilty, 1t is
intolerabIe that our soldiers should suf-
fer the slightest Inconvenience or dis
tress when they arrive in this country,
especially when SO much government
money is being expended for travel and
display by high officials who are reaping
benefits attained by the suffering and
sacrificing soldier.

Washington, u. C.-With the subsd-

attention OF health officers is directed

which regularly cause a large number

will be especially prevalent this win

Although the worst of the epidemic IS

them mild and unrecognlzed, which
