] PROTECT DEAD
WadsWorth Hears Witnesses on
Alleged MishandIing of
Bodies in Europe.

Senator James w. Wadsworth, jr..
OF New York, chairman of the Mill
tary Affairs Committee, has started
personal investigation OF the rs'
ports of the desecration of the graves
or American hero dead in Europe.
1t had been expected that nothing
you'd be done in the matter until
the return of Col. c. G, Pearce. head
OF the graves registration section of
the quartermaster's corps. How
ever, Colonel Pearce suddenly be-
came i'll while on his way to inspe:t
the work in Italian cemeteries and
died in a hospital in southern
France, according to reports received
here yesterday.
So conflicting have been the re-
ports of the work, since the discus
sion of the question was started
after the publication of the protest
OF the manner in which the work
was being conducted by Owen Wis
ter in an open letter to the Amer-
lean Legion, that Senator Wads-
worth has been unable to decide
whether Congressional investiga-
ton is justified.
INFORMERS ASK SECRECY
Those who have appeared at SEN
ator Wadsworth's office so far have
asked that their statements be con-
sidered confidential, SO nothing is

hibition, Is Increasing. especially
amongst young giria. was the decia-
ration in sermon here by the Rev.
Hugh L. McMenamin, rector of the
immaculate Conception Cathedral.
young men, and more particularly
young women. are drinking alcohol
more freely today than ever before"
the clergyman said. I'm times past
young women considered 1t vulgar
and degrading to drink liquor. To-
day they consider 1t a gay adventure.
And small wonder, since in too many
cases parents set the example"
CLOSER SUPERVISION.
The Rev. McMenamin made a strong
plea to parents for closer supervision
of the social activities OF their chill
dren, urging fathers and mothers to
assume proper responsibility for the
conduct Of their offspring.
Yours is the duty" he said, "to
shield your children from danger, not
by precept only, but by example. You
readily grasp the idea that your
neighbor's child Is in danger. but you
feel that your own boy or girl may
toy with the glass and dash 1t away
before he drinks.
The world is pleasure mad. Youth
is swept on by the unholy current
and is sadly handicapped in Its
Journey toward eternity.
Parents permit their children ia
go to dance halls. four out of hve
of which are open pathways to hell
Their child may roam the streets al
will. and go unchaperoned on auto
mobile rides, the destination OF
which is unknown even to the girl
herself.

The sermon came in the wake OF

venile court officials that disclosed

seventeen years of age, were re-

opportunity to present his side Of
the case.
A large proportion Of those who
have been engaged in the work over
seas are Washingtonians. Quite a
few of these have already returned
and it is expected that much in
formation will be obtained from
these men. Senator Wadsworth has
issued general invitation to them
to present any evidence they may
have ON either side.
Among some of the returned en-
ployees of the Graves Registration
Service there seems to be an in
clination to place the blame for the
lack of reverence in the handling Of
the bodies of those who fell in ac-
ton upon the officers who have been
assigned to superintend the work
Some Of the men claim if proper
discipline were exacted the abuses
would be eradicated.
MANY WORKERS Low CASTE.
While many of the civilian EN-
ployes are high-grade men witb
education, who went into the work
largely to avail themselves of the
opportunity to visit Europe and see
the battle areas, many Of the work
ers we're drawn from a low soci /
stratum, according to a man who
resigned from the service to accept
an offer from a Washington firm
and is 50 anxious to entirely divorse
himself from the work that he de-
clines to allow the use of his name.
According to this mans story, one
Of the workers had been a whisky
peddler in Washington more than a
year ago, known as the Society
Bootlegger" because of his snappy
appearance and because his cliente g
was mostly In the northwestern Sc ;
tion of the city. one night a man
who was giving a party called tts
bootlegger and before he arrived II
was arranged that man who was
unknown to the liquor vender should
pretend to arrest him.
When the bootlegger, who while
he had little education had much
sophistication, arrived he was con
fronted by the pseudo-official, VINO
exhibited a revolver and told the
whisky runner he had been shadowed
for some time. The bootlegger first
proposed to buy off the man, but
failing, crashed the liquor against
the wall and dashed out of the apart
ment
FEARED SECRET AGENTS.
The bootlegger was later appoint
ed to the Graves Registration Sec
ton and sent overseas, this in
formant says. Some time later the
man who posed as an officer also
joined the section and sailed. When
the ship arrived the graduate boot
logger was handling a shipment of
coffins on the dock. He spied the
other man on the deck and hid un-
til all passengers had been landed,
telling one of his fellow workers,
"The Secret Service has sent q
man all the way across the sea to
get me-" He also left the seaport
and remained away several days
until he was assured all the newly
arrived passengers were gone.

Editor Star: I notice in the Star
that there are some negroes fSom the
north here trying to stir up feeling
among the people of Ocala and Marion
county about the lynching of Elijah
Jones two weeks ago.
/ want to say that if anything of
that nature is being done the colored
people of this city know nothing about
it. am citizen of Ocala and have
been here for fifteen years, know the
best colored people and can voice their
feeling when / say that they feel the
men who lynched Elijah Jones got the
right man. From Thursday until Sat-
urday night of the week the crime
occurred, the colored people and white
people, too. were uneasy and afraid
to walk the streets and roads on ac-
count of that man.
/ can truthfully say that the white
people and colored people of this state
are more united today than any SET
of people in the United States. The
colored people of Ocala are trying to
make an honest living. attend their
church and lodge services and pay
their obligations, and have little
amusement among themselves. I an

If there are any bad colored peopl
here there are enough good colore'
