program will help right some of
these wrongs now.
1T has been contended that men
in the combat divisions do not want
compensation, that only the stay
at-homes are now vocal, or that the
demand has been fostered by poll
ticians and does not really come
from the veterans themselves. How
untrue this Is Is Indicated by re-
cent test poll of several hundred
American Legion posts.
This showed that 1886 men ia :
vor further cash compensation from
the government and only 1882 op-
pose 1t. Any plan to help soldiers
get farms was favored by 1916
voters, and only 1.450 were opposed.
Every similar poll has shown con-
clusively that the great majority of
men of all classes and all sections
Of the country believe further COM

such opponents admit the service

even when they admit four more

they still shrink from the ''financial
dangers" of payment.
How to Raise Money.
Tho full strength Of this, attack
was launched against issuance of
bonds to pay compensation. This
EFFORT was futile, since the plan now
advocated to raise the money Is q
sales tax. But even this bond arru-
ment was fallacious.s Just a few
weeks ago the government put on

But many excellent plans have been
put forward.

dote for unrest among ex-service
men.
The article, which presents con-
cisely the American Legion's entire
argument for adjusted compensa-
tion, adds:
1T has been said that the average
soldier will take the cash in pref
erence to either of the three other
compensation features, and rush to
spend 1t. This presumes that the
average soldier IL a bigger mental
dud than the average worker who
put away $500 in a savings bank out
Of his war profits.
ExpIodes an idea.
isn't It time to lay away in moth
balls these old contentious that the
soldier is some sort of an irrespon-
sible child? Anyone should know
that the average soldier Of this war
was the average young man Of She
country-perhaps d little above the
average in mentality. These men
are just as anxious to save and get
ahead as anyone else.
"A big percentage of the. men who
served in the war have married and
settled down by this time, IL finan-
cially able to do so. Even II they
should take the cash compensation
1t would not be to waste 1t, but to
invest it somewhere to benefit their
condition.
Then it is argued that no one
man would get enough, under this
compensation program, to do him
much good, although the vast ag-
gregate sum needed TO pay every
man would strain the resources yof
the nation. We have shown that
four more months of the war would
have cost much more than this COM
pensation will cost. $
Compensation Only Just.
While the individual compensa-
tion. as we have pointed out, will
not fully pay the man for his sacri-
nces, the amount would be great
enough to give him a start on ! a
farm. q home or a business of his
own. or would enable him to pay the
debts he could not help mourning
while he was in the service.
Some opponents declare Ct is fair
for civil service employees to get
their $50 a month bonus because Il
helps them meet the high cost Of
living by bringing their salaries up
to decent figure. Did not the serv-
Ice mans family face the same hiei,
living costs while he was away. and
did he not face them when he came.

We come again to our argument
that compensation Is only Just. No
system was right that compelled the
wife OF a soldier to exc out al,

BERLIN, September 4.-Trouble may
easily arise out Of the latest French
demands for apologies and reparation
for the attacks on the French con-
sulate in Silesia.
Germans here declare that they are
tired OF having the whole nation hu-
inflated repeatedly on account of iso-
lated acts in various parts Of the
country. 1t is also pointed out that
the government of Upper Silesia has
for sometime been virtually under the
French, and the Germans, therefore,
fail to see why the national govern
ment should be held to account for
that which results from French mis-
management.
Reports from the French papers re-
published here have had an extereme-
ly disagreeable effect. One article
fatty declared that the German ma
