ROAST FOR The PROFITEERs
Chaplain Of Columbia University Post
Brands Graspers a. "0rssdy
Human Vultures."
Copy for This Department Supplied by
the American Legion News Service.)

Greedy human vultures" and
crawling ghouls" were terms applied
to war proflteers by Rev. DR.. Herbert
Shipman, chaplain Of Columbia uni
vsrsity post, No. 400, of the American
Legion. in his Armistice day sermon
at the Church Of the Heavenly Rest
on Fifth avenue in New York.
Doctor Shipman, who is rector OF
the Fifth avenue church and an over
seas veteran, said that he was bitter
against those who out Of the sacri-
nee and blood Of others have coined
dirty money while posing as patriots"
The pastor read from a poem he
had written, the title of which Is The
Prof1teer."
It follows:
You have decked your frowzy wives with
borrowed splendors,
lou have hung your daughters necks
with stolen pearls;
Have You thought about the other wives,
the lenders,
Or the harlots made to decorate your
girls?
You have fashioned from the needs Of
sick and dying,
From the souls Of children pleading for
. the right
Ready cash today to do your Christmas
Ready cash to pay your prostitute to-
night.
You have coined your filthy gold from
blood and sorrow;
There are soldier graves across the
field Of France,
Whence the dead through you upon to-
morrow
viii rise to damn your profits with q
glance.
All the deathless deeds worth doing and
worth telling,
All the things that noble men hold high
and true
All but seemed to you for buying and for
selling,
All to serve greasy human vulture-
you
God! That better men should toll and
sweat and labor,
Bear the cross and climb up Calvaries
of pain;
While the crawling ghouls that spare not
friend or netghbor
Damn the world to make a crucible for
gain.
II in BLACKLIST hell, Lord. there be a
blacker;
II beneath the deepest pit a deeper pit;
Not for harlot, thief or coward Stacker
But for these that blacklist, deepest hell
Is fit.
Profiteers of every sort and kind and
fashion,
Where you tread full many other feet
have trod;
You are ranged against the power of
Christ's own passion;
Here! Behind you walk the searching
feet of God.

MANY FEAR BANKS
Large Class Prefers to Hoard
Its Savings.
Foreigners Especially Are Guilty Of
the Folly Of Carrying Large
Sums on Their Persons.

A contractor on the Ohio river was
putting in a cofferdam. 1t was dam
gerous and dirty work. One day the
dam broke number of workmen
were caught and sucked under by the
thrush of water. They all came to the
surface and we're rescued but one.
This poor chap disappeared and they
were unable to find his body, although
diligent search was made.
After the cofferdam was repaired
and the water pumped out the body
of the missing man was found buried
in the muddy bottom.
The reason he did not rise to the
surface with the rest was that he had
fastened about his waist a belt con-
tanning $3.50 in gold.
His money belt was his bank and In
trying to save his money he lost his
life, Charles Aubrey Eaton writes In
Leslie's.
Around the Pittsburgh district they
get their building sand by dredging the
river bottoms. Not long ago a work
man on one of the dredging scows
found in the sand brought up by the
dredge, leather pocketbook contain
ing $1,7OO. He reported his find to the
boss and the company advertised for
the owner of the money.
A Hungarian laborer from one of the
big manufacturing plants answered the
advertisement and claimed the money.
The story told by this man was ex-
traordnary. He had made the pocket
book himself at home out of a piece of
leather which he had bought for the
purpose. He produced the remnant of
the original piece of leather as part
of his proof of ownership. One day
he had accidentally dropped his pock-
etbook down manhole into a street
sewer He went to the spot where the
sewer empties into the river and with
out food or drink watched for three
days and nights, in the hope that the
pocketbook would come through to the
river. At last he gave up in despair
and 1t was more than year later that
the workman on the dredge fished the
thing up out of the river bottom.

$4,000 FOR NEW HOSPITAL
American Legion of Texas Actively
Behind Plan for Care OF Men
Who Have Tuberculosis.

The American Legion of Texas Is
now actively behind the campaign to
raise $35O,OO0 for hospital for tuber-
culous ex-service men. At recent
meeting Of the Benevolent War Risk
society of Texas the directorate was
increased from Is to 45, the 80 new
directors being the membership of the
state Legion executive committee and
five members of the central hospital
committee at Austin.
This marks the turning over Of &C.
tive control of the campaign to the
Legion. Some 100000 still remains
to be raised, but the first unit of 100
beds of the proposed hospital is al
most ready for occupancy.

Australian OpaIs.

The opal industry of Australia is
an important one, and the value of the
stones found since 1890, in New
South Wales, the principal producing
state, is f1,426,OOO. The gems were
first discovered there in 1877, but two
years earlier the first recorded dis
covery of opals in Australia was made

Secretary Baker tells Congress that he
has inrurrod n JaGo;< IN h;o donorfrn ant

Secretary Baker tells Congress that he
has incurred deficit in his department
during the current year of SIC. 600, 900.
That means that he has spent that sum
in excess of the amount allotted to the
War Department in appropriations for
the fiscal year 1921. The chief item in
that deficit is for pay of the army. The
current appropriation bill limited the size
of the army to 175,0O0 men, but Mr..
Baker has recruited it up to about 220,-
600 men and is still advertising for more.
One Congressman, when asked if he was
going to impeach Baker for his contempt
of the law, replied, whats the use3 He
goes out in two months anyway, and an
impeachment would only advertise Baker
and seriously impede the passage of ne
cessary legislation.
