CASTE SYSTEM
MARMY FLAYED
Congressman From Connecticut
Declares American Army
Needs Humanizing.
(By GEORGE H. MANNING.)

Washington, D. c., Feb 15.-The So
called caste distinction between Off
GERS and man in the American army
was vigorously attacked in the house
of representatives recently by Con-
gressman Jomn Q. Tilson, of Connec-
ticut, who declared it was responsible
more than anything else for the an
tipathy of the enlisted men towards
the officers and the army in general.
Mr.. Tilson's words We're listened to
carefully by the house members, be-
cause Tilson served as a. private and
officer in Cuba during the Spanish
war and was later for twenty years
an officer in the Connecticut national
guard. As a colonel he took his regi-
ment to the Mexican border during the
trouble there three years ago.
The army needs humanizing," Mr..
Tilson said. Caste has no proper
place in the American army. This caste
has been described as a thin veneer
Of dignity spread over a medium or
soft piece of officer material to pre-
vent a too easy detection Of the true
quality of the timber.
Its true place is where there is a
strictly militaristic governing class,
as in Germany before the war. 1t was
convenient in the small army of Great
Britain, where, before the war, COM
missions were bought, in many in
stances, by the younger sons of titled
families.
TT was never entitled to a place or
even consideration in America con-
tinued Mr.. Tilson. unfortunately it
was taken up somewhat early by a
few of the small circle of officers of
our toy army It even took root in the
soil of West Point and has never
ceased to grow in the rare and rarified
atmosphere of that great institution
It is copied by many of those coming
into the army from civil life, for why
should they permit the West Pointers
to excel in a lesson SO easily mas
tered?
1.-The reason given usually for this
anamalous exotic which 1 have labeled
caste in our army is discipline. The
theory is that if an enlisted man
should once discover that if an officer
is just an ordinary human being like
himself all discipline would cease. /
deny this theory. The trouble is that
the enlisted man knows all the while
just what the officer Is.
My conception of an officer is best
expressed by that affectionate army
pet name. the old man He should be
a daddy to his men. True, he must
be a lust firm and somewhat Spartan
like father, but if he has not a heart
large enough to go out and include
every man in his outfit, then he is
not a good officer.

Handled Election Fraud Cases
at Evansville, Considered
Difficult to Prove.

Hoosier lawyer has come to convict,
If he can, a Badger State millionaire.
Special Assistant U. S. Attorney
General Frank c. Daley of Indian
apolis, and two assistants are battling
| before Federal Judge c. w. Sessions
day after day against the fifty-two
lawyers of Truman II. Newberry and
his 134 eo-defendants charged with
conspiring. to elect the Michigan mil
ionaire by fraud and corruption.
Six years ago Daley was big law
yer in a small town. He is 49 and
was born in B1uffton, Ind. He gradu-
ated from the University of Indiana.
For several years he was a reporter
and editor of a weekly newspaper in
Bluffton that grew to be a daily. His
father made him a junior partner in
the law firm of Daley & Simons.
! Daley became u. S. district attor-
ney and when rumors of election graft
grew strong in Terre Haute, in 1914,
his chance" came. The grand jury
he asked for indicted 126 politicians
and office holders. Eighty-six pleaded
guilty and the remainder weI con-
! Victed, including the mayor, a candi-
, date for governor, Judge, a board
, of safety and a board of public works
| With this record in what lawyers
| say is the hardest kind of a case
to prove Daley was selected to in
vestigate the Evansville Ind, election
! frauds. Here he obtained the con-
viction of 140 defendants on charges
of vote bartering.

a few months later added more stscalps
| to Dailey's string" He convicted d
| chief of police and numerous city Of

| When the government sought evil
dence against the Industrial Workers
of the World in the first year of the
war, Attorney General Gregory called
Daley from Indianapolis, where he
was a member of the law firm of
Miller, Daley & Thompson. 1t was
, his efforts that obtained indictments
against 131 L. w. w. Friction de-
veIoped between Gregory and Daley
and he resigned before the trial be-
gan.
Now, this small town lawyer bears
the reputation of being Americas one
and only expert political graft prose-
cutor. He has an almost unbroken
record of convictions in cases involv-
ing election corruption.

Enforced Resignation.

Washington, Feb. 15. - Secretary
Lansing's enforced resignation con-

Washington and all talk among poll
ticians, members of congress, and
government officials continues to
center about it. 1t even subordinates
speculation as to his successor. Such
terms as a Crisis in the cabinet are
freely used and in sense find color
in the frank acknowledgement of Sec
retary Lane that he was equally re-
sponsib1e for the meetings to which
the president objected. Best infor-
nation available indicates, however,
there will be a crisis in the sense that
more secretaries will resign. In fact
it was said at the white house yester-
day that no more cabinet designations
were expected from the incident
Chief discussion seems to be whether
the president knew before he wrote
the letter that cabinet meetings had
been going on four months during his

clearly than the constitution does what

No member of congress, however, has
brought forward any proposal for
such legislation.
There is also talk of taking some
action to determine how the execu-

DIRECTOR EXPLAINS
RELIEF CAMPAIGN

Memphis, Tenn. (SpeciaD-B. r.
Thornbury of New York city, recently
designated director for the state OF
Tennessee for the Jewish Relief Com
mittee is in Memphis in the interest
Of an intensive campaign for FUNDS
to complete the fund for the relief OF
Jews and non-Jews in Eastern Europe
the area wherein there are 100000
starving souls without livelihood
Mr.. Thornbury explains the appeal
of the Relief Committee to Jew and
Christian alike, that it is not only to
iced and clothes these suffering ones,
but also to rehabilitate their homes
and energies in order that they may
become self-supportlng.
Justification, in a measure, for ap-
pealing to members of all creeds and
races is given by reason Of the follow
ing facts as outlined by Mr.. Thorn
bury:
Our Joint Distribution Committee,
which disperses all funds, while pr1'
marily ministering to Jewish suffer
ers, have found everywhere large num-
bers of non-Jewish sufferers and nave
been moved to make no distinction in
communities where they are found.
About one-third of our funds are used
to meet the needs of these non-Jews'
ain all wartime appeals made by our
government, the Jewish people re-
sponded with patriotism to the extent
of millions of dollars.
"The Jewish people gave more than
100000 Jewish men to the American
army in response to the call OF the
president and thousands OF jewish
women enlisted in various war WORK
organizations"
The campaign will be conducted
over the state June 21-28.
The Morgan County press. (Wartburg, Tenn.) 1916-1926, 1920-08-06

"This was the first time that Jews
had to ask for help" he continued.
"The generous response by people OF
all creeds has been most gratifying,
and has been of vital assistance In
providing food, clothing and medicine
for the stricken people who have been
war victims for six years. The need
has been so great that but for the LID
eral contributions of non-JeWs, our
work would have been severely handl-
capped"
Funds raised by the American Jew
ish Relief Committee are disbursed
in Europe by the Joint Distribution
Committee. of which Felix Warburg
is chairman. The Joint Distribution
Committee also distributes funds
raised by the Central and Peoples
Relief Committee, two other Jewish
Embarrassing organizations. The New
York appeal for $7,500,0O0 for the
Jewish War Sufferers of Eastern Eu'
rope represents the combined efforts
Of these three committees.
While the funds raised are partly
for Jewish relief, Mr.. Loventhal en-
phasized that in distributing RELIEF,
non-Jewish as we'll as Jews, partlcu'
larly among the destitute children, are
beneficiaries. Included among the re-
cent relief contributions of the Joint
Distribution Committee were $5OO,OoO
to the European Children's Fund OF
the American Relief Administration
s1Oe 900 to the American Typhus Com
mission in Poland and $4,000 to the
hungarian Relief Committee, all OF
which was utilized by these organlza
tions on a non-sectarian basis.
The Joint Distribution Committee
has been concentrating it's relief or
painzation in Poland, although it also
onerates throughout Central and East
ern Europe, Siberia and Palestine
It has just received permission IRON
the State Department to send a rellel
commission into Soviet Russia, where
operating on it's own risk, as the. de
nartment is unable to grant 1t gov
eminent protection, it will attempt tc
