.SWOPE MAY PROBE
WAR EXPENDITURES
Discharged Soldiers Not
Given Clothes Prompt
ly, Says Kentuckian

Washington, March 20.-Repre-
sentative King Swope, of Kentucky,
who is a returned service man, an
nounced today that in his opinion
there is rank negligence in furnish
ing extra army equipment to dis
charged soldiers, as provided by law,
and that unless there is a change for
the better he will sponsor an investi-
cation by the House Committee on
Expenditures in the War Department
of which he is a member. Swope
gave out the following statement;
"Men who submitted their appli-
cations for additional army equip
ment two months ago have not re-
ceived their equipment to date. The
fault lies with the director of pur-
chase and storage who seems either
to be purposely delaying the issuance
of their equipment or painfully in
efficient. Men whose applications
have been in for weeks have been di-
rected TO submit them 10 other sup
ply officers, and upon doing so were
informed to go back and start all
qover again with the first supply Of
ficer.
"As a result of this many former
soldiers will not receive their over
coats and shoes until winter is over.
There is no excuse for this inef-
ficiency. propose to have the Of
ficers of that department brought be-
fore the committee on expenditures
in the War Department unless this
is Immediately relieved, and
see why the government money Is
spent for this purpose when so many
of the men, who were in the army,
are refused this equipment.

Noske was present at the Assem-
bly, session today when Philip Sche-
idemann, Majority Socialist leader
and former Premier, attacked the
Minister of Defense in a stirring
speech and demanded a radical over
hauling of the Cabinet, Herr Henke.
leader of the Independent Socialists
asked Noske where he was when the
Kapp forces had their hands at the
Governments throat, and why he did
not break their bones" but Noske
by this time had disappeared from
the chamber.
Representatives of all the princi-
pal parties at the session delivered
speeches cordemping the Kapp move
ment and urging the punishment of
the guilty.
The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1920-03-26

made its appearance in the ancient
city of Jerusalem. The first issue
of "The Jerusalem News" appeared
Dec. 8, 1919, the second anniversary
of the taking of Jerusalem by the
British forces. There were six and
a half columns of news and one and
half columns of local advertising.
"The time is very propitious,"
states the editor. "The need for ac-
curate telegraphic news of the world
is very apparent here in Jerusalem.
which is itself a world center. Pre-
parations are under way for Great
Britain to accept the mandate over
Palestine, and the growing English
speaking community needs mouth
piece"
On the editorial page is a word of
welcome from Field-Marshal Allen
by, who captured the city from the
Turks, and a word of encouragement
from the American consul in Jeru-
salem, DIR. Otis A. Glazebrook. The
new paper has started a campaign
for cleaning up and painting up, and
the planting of trees in and around
the Holy City. There is also warn
ing against stirring up racial diff
ferences.
