Common horse sense should con.

be suspended until tried. This is the
way Ole Hanson treats others in Sc

hearing. Hanson also locks people
in quarantine without hearing. and
they are as honest and as yirtuous
as he Is.

with taking bride money from crime

to be well enough TO come home and

TRUTH STRUGGLES
To THE LIGHT

From occasional glimpses that we :,
get behind the veil of Secrecy that
has shrouded most Of the oflcisl acts
Of the War department for the past !
two years the conviction grows that |
IL the military machine at Washing
ton ever is subjected to a compre-
hensive and searching investigation,
conditions will be revealed that will
shock public accustomed to reports
Of gross inefficiency' in the conduct
of the war. If all the kilograms from
the commanding generals in the field
almost imploring that supplies absol-
utely necessary to the conduct of OPP
erations aainst the enemy be rushed
to them, were to be made public It
would bring to the popular mind as
nothing else could how the delays at
Washington meant death to our boys
in France.
AS an example of what the closely
guarded files of the War Department
might reveal IL they were opened,
there was read on the floor of the
senate the other day cablegram
sent by General Pershing on Septem-
Der 18th when our forces were in
the midst of some of the bloodiest
fighting of the war. He calls the
attention of the department to the
shortage Of tonnage receipts during
the past three months and speaks 'in
most positive terms of conditions
which have resulted" In order to
reap the full advantage of the favor
able military situation in which the
Allies found themselves at that time
1t became necessary to put troops in
the first line shortly after their arri-
val in France. In proportion as those
new troops lacked equipment they
suffered casualties.
While acknowledging that in some
of his essential articles of engineer
and quartermaster equipment he had
an over supply, General Pershing lays
emphasis that in all other depart
ments there was shortage in the
allotments for our forces during the
months of June. July and August. In
percentages, figured on a tonnage
basis, those shortages were as fol-
lows: Ordnance department, 23 per
cent; signal corps. 52per cent; chem
ical warfare service, 81 per cnet;
medical corps, 23 per cent; motor
transport service, 81 per cent; and
railroad transportation 20 per cent
The direct statement was made by
the General that his ability to man
euver and supply his forces depend
ed largely on motor transportation
Yet the shortage in that line alone
was given as 81 per cent.
We are ao:e 70 carry out present
y plans, said Pershing, due to the fact
that we have been able to borrow
