AMERICAN LEGION.

Congress finds the federal board for vocational education functlonlng smooth ly, says J. w. Rixey Smith, who, in an article in The American Legion Weekly, tells of the house investigation into the affairs of the board. He adds:
 "The whole pitiful side of the long drawn out wreck and waste of the hu- man body which follow in the wake of war was shown up during the investI- gation in a way that brought out anew the deep obligation the nation IS uhder to the disabled service man.
 "The committee found, as many had long before discovered, that the admin istration of the board needed to be de centralizde>s and recommended that dl- viisonaI office with power to pass on cases be established in each state of the Union Something has been wrong with the New York and Philadelphia offices of the board, the committee reports, and says: It is particularly recommended that the conditions snown to exist III the New York and Philadelphia oilces preventing harmonious cooperation ana efficient teamwork should be remedied at once, if necessary by an entire reorganl- zation of those offices
 The board recommends that civil ser- vice requirements be waived as to prln- cipal and staff officers engaged in reha-
  liar and specialized character of the work it takes a crack at those who it is felt have been trying to hold the gov ernment up for excessive tuition rates III schools for disabled men by recommend ing that certain contract with Pitts burgh school be not renewed; it recom- mends the immediate appropriation of a fund of $200, 900 to be used along with the Elks' revolving fund for loans to de serving disabled men in training and il asks that benefits of the vocational act be extended to all disabled Americans who served with any of the armies of the allies.
 "'The committee unanimously approves of the rehabilitation idea as one of the most outstanding and progressive fea lures of legislation induced by the war, says the report. and adds, Its newness explains in part some of the mistakes and deficiencies, especially in the earlier stages The committee recognizes z gradual improvement in the work ane comrnends the increasing efficiency un der the direction of the present chief Uel W. Lamkin.'

 After the luncheon which followed the annual meeting, MT Whitmore gave a general resume of his prece- dure. He urged merchants to adopt a general principle of price fixing during the present emergency. Ger tain lines of necessities should be set aside, to be known and advertised as low cost of living lines." he said. 'NThese articles should be of moderate price and good quality He men toned wearing apparel as an item that should be in included in this list 4<They should be such articles as the wage earner and the low saIar- jed man needs" he continued, "and should be sold at the lowest possible margin of profit; even at a margin less than that which might be regard ed as equitable by the fair price com mittee. Where it is necessary, the profits of the business should be made up in articles not justly considered necessities The committee is not concerned in the margin of profit on silk gowns, silk, stockings or shoes with wings, for instance He urged all merchants to adopt the practice of Flow cost Of living lines and to instruct their buyers to buy in quan- tity, suitable merchandise to fill up their stocks
 At the conclusion of MT. Whit more's address, the 35 merchants
 present voted unanimously to support the fair price commissioner in the furtherance of his policies as out1in- ed, and to enforce his suggestions as to Flow cost of living lines of mer- cfandise

RefeEring to Sims testimony that the first troop convoy, sent over in, June, 1917, was not attacked by sub marines and that there was no sub marine within 200 miles of the place where the attacks were said to have occurred, the naval secretary pre- scented messages froan Admiral Sims giving accounts of such attacks. The first of these messages was dated June 30, 1917, and said:
 First group attacked by sTbna- r1nes Longitude % degrees 90, before arriving at fist rendezvous. Second group attacked longitude 8. Serongly believe that enemy obtained inforna- hon regarding movement of destroy CTS and also movements of troop con | voys by interceping and diciphering despatches sent me in naval attaches code.''
 ''On the second day. July 1, 1917" MT. Daniels said, Admiral Sims sent this cabiegram;
 'tsIt is practically certain that the enemy knew position of the first ren- dezvous and accordingly sent a sub marine to intercept before juncture with destroyers.'
 The witness also presented reports from Admiral Gleaves regarding the attack and from the French general staff regarding the presence of sub | marines in the vicinity of the convoy
 Sims various attempts to discredit | the subIparine attacks reported by Admiral Gleaves and the other off cers,'' said MT. Daniels. "are of a piece with his attempts to throw l doubt on the entire conduct of the first expedition.
 tFWe had no reason then and have no reason now to doubt Admiral Sims own positive statements made at the time, that the convoy was attacked the reports of Admiral Gleaves ant the official report of the French gen era1 staff to the same effect. This ii not the first or only instance in whicH Admiral Sims has stated before thi
 committee that statements made il
 his official despatches to the depart
 men during the war were not to D.
 relied upon."
 MT Daniels aso testified that Ad miraI Sims had objected to the us 1 of the former German liner Leviatha1
 as a troopship on the ground that he
 great length made her a better targe
 for torpedoes than smaller vessels. H
 also said the admiral had contende
 that the ship should be operated t , Liverpool rather than to Brest be
 cause of better facilities for handlin her cargo.
