More proof that Pennsylvanias losses
in the war were heavier than those of
other states is daily coming from the
War Department.
This state has maintained an average
of about one-tenth of the casualties for
the American expeditionary forces. In
the official casualty report today more
than one-sixth of the men whose names
appear on the list for the nation are
from this state, there being 404 for the
country and sixty for Pennsylvania in
the report.
Eleven men wounded and one dead
of disease make up the cty's report to-
day Relatives of Cne Of the wounded
In the list, Lieutenant George II. West
6343 Germantown avenue, gassed at the
battle of the Marne, in July, had not
been notified until a few days ago.
According to recent letters to his wife
the officer was confined to a base hos
pital from the time he was wounded
until two days before the armistice
when he rejolned his unit.
Lieutenant West is only twenty-three
years old and was formerly member OF
the National Guards Of Pennsylvania.
He served on the Mexican border during
the raid troubles" in 1916. When his
regiment was remustered he was sent 10
Camp Hancock for training. Here he
entered the Reserve Officers Training
School. and qualified as an officer. He
received his commission while in the
hospital, in France. He is a graduate
of Central High School and was formerly
clerk for the Pennsylvania Railroad.

WAR OFFICIALS STRIKE
BACK AT CHAMBERLAIN
Undue Severity Against Mill.
tarv Prisoners Denied-Sen-
ator Himself Accused

Washington. March SPECIFIC and
detailed denial Of the statements made
in the Senate by Chairman Chamber
lain, of the Military Committee, both
as to the individual cases OF alleged
undue severity of treatment of military
prisoners and as to the broader attack
OF the Senator on the whole American
system of military justice, is contained
in a letter from Major General Crowder.
Judge advocate general to Secretary
Baker,
The letter was placed in the Congress
sionel Record last night by Represen-
tative Lunn. OF New York, who had
written Secretary Baker asking for
General Crowders version of the mat
ter" which he desired to compare with
statements made by Brlxader Genera.
Samuel T. Ansell, former acting judge
advocate general, in the latter's appear
ance before congressional committees
and published correspondence,
Letters submitted with this hitherto
unpublished report show that Secretary
Baker placed II in Senator Chamber
lain's hands on the day II was submitted
by General Crowder. In sending the re-
port 10 Mr.. Lunn the Secretary wrote
Immediately after the original dis
oussion of this subject in the Senate
asked NIentTdi NrAONhti W bANN iiN q
comprehensive memorandum covering
the whole matter. This letter resulted
Its statements are, ! think. most reas-
suring"
General Crowder in his letter makes
the counter-charge that Senator Cham
berlain, as chairman Of the Military
/ Committee. was directly responsible fol
certain admitted shortcomings OF the
army legal system which the department
/ had sought to have remedied more thar
! a year ago through a remedial amend
ment, upon which no action has beer
taken by the congressional milltar!
committees.
"All authentic data that would throw
light on the correctness OF Senate
Chamberlain's complaints" the lette
said, "are TO be found in the accumu
lated records of my office. And / coul'
wish that he had afforded me an oppor
tunity. however scanty, to lay befor
him the general tenor of those record
or any part of them before advancing
publicly the assertions contained in hi
remarks on military justice"

''The business OF this court might

The idea Of g municipal whipping
post came to Judge Fry in the fol-
lowing letter from Mrs. T.. n. Greene:
when my father and sister lived
in Baltimore a city ordinsnce was
passed to whip at a public whipping
post every man who beat his wife.
Ny sister worked among the poorer
classes and after the passage OF this
ordinance these poor women would
say to her: %. we don't get any

RAIL RETURN MARCH |
PLEASES ROAD OFFICIALS

NEW YORK, Dec. 2J.-Satisfac ticn
was expressed by railroad officials to-
day over President Wilson's decision
to turn back the railroads to private
ownership on March 1.
"That will give time TO afford RENE
dial legislation" said Frederick d.
Underwood, president Of the Erie rail-
road. The, return can be accom-
plished without any harm if measures
arc provided to give them a standard
return until protective legislation is
enacted"
We are satisfied with the date
said George r Baker. chairman Of the
board Of directors OF the New York

enable Congress TO pass necessary
legisla ton. The roads cannot exist

.'March is satisfactory to the rail
