WOUNDED YANKS
NOT RECEIVING
JUST DESERTS
Republican Congressman Tells
House Of Recent Visit to
Government ospitals.

| Washington, Jan. 27.-Sick ami
wounded soldiers are not receiving
the treatment guaranteed them by
law" Representative Johnson, re.
publican, South Dakota, who served
in the A. E. F., declared in telling
the house OF his recent visits to gov
ernment hospitals. y.
Because of ignorance or negli-
gence, or because of wilful disregard
of the laws by Carter Glass, secre-
tary of the treasury, or Rupert Blue,
surgeon general of the United
States" said Representative John
son, "sick and wounded American
soldiers are receiving treatment that
cannot be justified by anyone who
has any regard for the wellbeing of
the men who fought to maintain the
country"
Replying to Representative Gar
ner, democrat, Texas, who inquired
the basis of the charge against the
officials, Representative Johnson as
serted that funds to provide hospital
facilities had not been used because
of the opposition lof officials to TAX
ing over the Chicago Speedway hos
pital, and that because of this atti-
tude funds for other hospitals were
not being spent
Sick Men Ordered Out.
"In Chicago, Jan. IS" Representa-
tive Johnson said, american SOL
diers who had been seriously
wounded and who had been and
ought to be receiving treatment for
their wounds. were requested to
leave the hospital and discontinue
treatment in order that other men, in
more serious conditions, might take
their beds in the hospital
1n these same hospitals" the
South Dakota representative added,
"men who have been gassed are
quartered in dark Railways, where no
ray OF sunlight has been, or ever viii,
be. permitted to enter, and this. in
spite of the fact that since March 3,
1919, $9,500,0OO has been available
and could and should have been
used.
III this condition is permitted to
exist for few months more, there
will be thousands of wounded and
sick American soldiers who need
treatment and will be unable to Sc
cure it. In my opinion, thousands
of them will die and the persons
responsible for those deaths will
be the men / have mentioned, or
some of them, because congress has
performed its duty in appropriating
the necessary funds while they have
not performed theirs in expending
them"
50 Men Not Fed.
Johnson said that on last Decem-
Der 7, he saw so men at the Fort
Sheridan army hospital, who were
not fed and many others who could
not secure sufficient food" He ad-
ded that his complaint of this to
Secretary Baker resulted in an in
vestigation which admitted the
truth of the complaint" and an at
tempt to remedy the situation.
Johnson exhibited a photograph
of a bathroom, 10 feet square, in the
Chicago Marine hospital, which he
said was used for a vocational
training work room.
"In that bathroom he said, hold
ing up the picture before the house.
10 men are supposed to work, and
it would be crowded if three men

confession Grammer, likewise. was
convicted. .,
The belief that the execution will
be held Friday, February E, was
further strengthened by the receipt
of telegram today by Warden
Fenton from John Hubert, execu-
toner of New York, that he would
be able to come to Lincoln at that
time for the purpose of executing
the men.

The men are doomed to die Fri
day of this week, but it probably
will be postponed one week, by the
executive order of Governor Nickel
vie, to permit the arrival of Execu-
toner Hubert.
Allen V. Grammer is legally dead,
according to the argument presented
today before the state supreme court
by his attorney, c. ]. Campbell,
against the motion of the state for
a writ of habeas corpus, denied by
the district court.
Campbell maintained that there is
no record in the district court to in
dicate that the decree of the ST.
preme court, ordering the execution
of Grammer and Alison B. Cole upon
September l9, was not carried out.
J. B. Barnes, attorney for the
state, branded Campbells argument
as frivolous" and an attempt to de-
lay justice with technicalities.

tanned the states motion and dis

Universal Military
Training Raped by
Republican Leader

Washington, Jan. 2.-Closely fol-
lowing incorporation of a universal
training provision in the army reor-
ganization bill by the senate mill
tary committee with seven out OF
nine republicans voting in the af-
firmative, Representative Mondell,
Wyoming, republican leader in the
house, declared in an address that
leaders of the party responsible for
Inauguration of such legislation
would be cast into political oblivion.
The government, Representative
Mondell told the house. would be
compelled to spend 100000 and to
raise the money by a bond issue to
put the universal training plan into
operation.
Senator Wadsworth, of New York,
chairman of the military committee,
estimated that adoption of four
months training for all youths be-
tween the ages of 18 and II, inclusive,
would enable such reduction in
the regular army establishment as to
cut the present annual expenditure Of
$l,lOO000, to approximately $780,
100000.

THE YOUNG MANS CHOICE

In the coming election, young men
especially those working on close sal
aries and those struggling to estab-
lish themselves in a new business
should think long and hard before
casting vote. Perhaps no election
more danger and pitfalls to the young
men and young business houses than
is the one just ahead. These are
unprecedented times. During the
war more new business enterprises
sprang up than during any similar
period in our history. Shall these
new concerns stand or fall? Shall the
men who have forged ahead and
gained some share of our great ma
tional prosperity be forced back with
in the four walls of some great cor
poration. to stunt their natural amti-
ton and slave on the old meal-ticket
salaries of the past? Shall they go
back to that or shall they go for
ward?
The choice in November lies be-
tween the republican party controlled
by long established wealth in trc-
mendous corporations and combina-
tons grinding out few multi-mil-
lionaires at the expense of the mil
lions of pinched salaried workers,
and the democratic party, opening
gates of progress and giving those
who deserve and wish to rise a fair
opportunity to do SO.
The young man, the progressive,
man, will ask: How can
this great difference exist between
the two parties" The answer is,
through the control of the money
market. The money power of the
