Outrageous Street Car Treatment
of Wounded Soldiers
By EARL GOODWIN.


When we are through with so-caled civic welcomes
to returning soldiers it would do this city much good
genuine, heartfelt effort would be made to insure at least
HUMANE treatment to the wounded and convaescent sol
dlers who came here without any parade holiday up
heaval Just simple plain WOUNDED American boys who
inteposed their bodies between US and German bullets
want particularly to call attention to the soldiers who
have leg off.
To these American soldiers wounded so recently
that In they still under treatment being
forced to STAND UP IN STREET CARS while men in
civilian clothes, and even healthy strong who have
little nothing to do except spend the afternoon down
town. take seats is enough to make the most sanctmonous
saint in the whole calendar lose his temper and break
ones head.
The street car line which these wounded men are
forced to travel is utterly thoroughly and conspicuousy
there has not been and will not be any effort made to
improve the service.
For that reason you American soldiers with
wounded leg being forced to cling by foot the step
of crowded crowded that there many pas
sengers cngng to the back platform you would expect
to see riding In an entire
Within the good, weLfed, wellkept, protected
CIVILIANS are sitting down.
Doesn't it seem bitterly disappointing that many
while this practical personal matter should be selfshy
overlooked
heard of a case this week where two wounded men,
with his wooden leg badly adjusted and loose that
it gave him ndescbabe pain standing overcrowded
for so long that he nearly tainted Two Westinghouse
got these boys off the and took them to Walter Reed
automobile and shocked learn that these two
wounded had to walk twofths of mile after they
had passed the gate Rather rough treatment all around
Now let's all get together and DO something about this
thoughtless paingivng attitude When we wounded
soldier on the cars, let's GIVE HIM A SEAT

The charges against Roscoe G. Bruce assistant super
ntendent in charge of Washngtons coored schools are
being banded about that defes the efforts of
Mr.. Bruces supporters to them down.
Mr. Bruces character is being backened every day by
repetition of stories which undoubtedly grow with repe
ton.
The Parents League of Washington, organization
of several thousands of coOred citizens has laid charges
less general and indefinite before the Board of
Education asserting that Mr. Bruce has lost his value
head of the colored schools.
Justice to Mr. Bruce and to the men and women who
have signed their to great petition in which they
register their opposition his continuance in office the
Board of Education must clear this matter at
There is justice in the boards taking the stand that
cannot recognize specific charges Assertions of more
than fifteen thousand parents that they do not want Mr.
Bruce to continue educational leader of their children
sufficient justification for action.
Every day that nnuendo and word-o mouth SANDER
continue marks another step down in Mr. Bruces potential
efficiency He cannot achieve real results while his name
furnished with charges, specific or general written or
spoken.
Either Mr. Bruce entitled to stand before his organ
zion with marks against his he is not entitled
to his job There be halfway business in question
Of vast import this affecting the children Of large
number of Washington's schools.
Members of the Parents League who have made
charges against Mr. Bruce must stand ready to go before
the Board of Education and reduce their general charges
to actual cases. They have made serious They
must go through with it.
Scores of them declare they ready testify against
Bruce
Scores of others are willing stake their reputa
tons him and will give him their unstinted support in
every way toward his retention in his position
In justice to the assistant superintendent and In the
Of efficiency in the public schools the talk and gossip
charges and countercharge should be stopped
The only way to settle this question for all time is to
settle it NOW by public hearings on MIR. Bruce
