But Wilson went to Europe. He
demanded money for it. He had
weeded out all the competent men
about him in Washington and installed
those whose minds run along with
his" So when he asked for money
he got it. There was nobody to say
him no. So you and the other tax
payers of these sovereign United
States have paid war taxes and con-
tinue to pay them so that Wilson's
now comes the final report that this
one item alone took one million six
hundred fifty-one thousand and one
hundred and ninety-one dollars.
The laundry alone for the peace
delegates was S64,969.
But the men in the army who bore
the brunt of the hardships and often
gave their lives in it did their own
laundry.
They bought automobiles for some
of the delegates and paid $14,602 for
them. But the men in the army
walked in mud and slime and with
blistered feet.
Salaries of the members of the
mission were $200,871.
But the men in the army got a
single pitiful little dollar per day.
But Wilson had living quarters that
! would put King to shame. He
wasn't satisfied with the way the
sunshine came into the court behind
his rooms, so he had a glass topped
conservatory effect built in. He "liked
music with his meals" so he had an
orchestra all for himself.
He gathered up trif1ing trainload
Of presents while over there which
were shipped to this country at the
expense of the government-and you
and the other tax payers paid it. Then
he comes home and presents a bill
for $1,651, 1890. Then he buys a
house in Washington and pays $780,
10000 for it.
Yet he was begging money to live
on when he went into office. And last
Thanksgiving, after having deceived
the condolences of the nation to such
an extent that for the first time in
the history of the country no Thanks
giving turkey was sent to the White
House as present, his secretary,
Tumulty, issued an appeal thru the
newspapers for somebody to please
send the poor, pauperized President a
turkey.
THEN HE BUYS A HOUSE IN
WASHINGTON FOR $150,000.00.
Did you ever hear of the street car
conductor who said that before he
pany he threw it up into the roof of
the car and all that hung on the bell
cord he gave to the company?

PACKERS TO DISBAND

Constantine, received by the Greeks
with loud acclaim, is again estab-
lished on his throne and is even plan
ming visit to his army in Asia Minor,
If the great powers permit. The dip
lomatic representatives of the allies
in Athens did not leave the country,
but refrained from participation in
the kings reception. Premier Lloyd
George is weakening a trifle and in
the house of commons opposed hasty
action In altering the treaty of Sevres
in favor of the Turks and against the
Greeks. He advocated going warily
with regard to the Greeks, as there
might be explanations of their recent
action

ROUGH NECKS AT PEACE CON-
FERENCE

Wilson's expence account for shis
jaunt to Europe for the peace con
ference was 1851, 19100. Let that
sink in - ONE MILLION SIX
HUNDRED FIFTY ONE THOU
SAND AND ONE HUNDRED AND
NINETY ONE DOLLARS!
On the itemized list of expenses
was one item: 'iFor damage and
breakage to. Hotel Crillon, $125.000.

FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARSD
The question that logically comes
to each reader is: "What kind of
rough necks were the peace delegates
that they should smash furniture and
carve tables and spit on the floors and
break mirrors to the extent of $125,-
600? Such a record would put the
Huns to shamel If small body of
Americans could do that to one hotel,
what could they have done to all the
territory in northern France that the
Huns sacked?
But the truth of it is that the Amer
leans did not do such damage at all.

matter of uninterrupted playing. The
calling off Of the final game in the
recent Cleveland series because of
rain was the first postponement the
Senators had encountered since May
%. After that date, which vas just
one month after the season opened.
the Griffmen participated in every
acheduled contest and a number of
games postponed prior to that date as
well, including two tie games at the
Polo grounds. In eighty-three days
Washington averaged one game a day,
exceeding half Of the schedule Of
140 games by thirteen.
