General Sibert, on being relieved
from his wartime work of director Of
the, chemical warfare service. was or.
dered to a department in the South to
serve under junior officer. 1t is easy
enough, perhaps, to guess why this was
done. Sibert took advantage of the
act Of congress which, for his com.

had advanced him in rank and gave
him the right to retire at any time he
chose. He retired from the service

cliques and Jeaiousies.
This Is only one sample of the trou.
bles said to be existing in the War de-
partment. It is asserted that there
are cliques within cliques, jealousies
without number, and sore hearts be-
cause Of irregularity in promotions.
Secretary Weeks has before him for
solution the hardest problem that ever
confronted a secretary of war, Gel
tainly in times of peace.
One of the secretnry's duties. and IN
1t he will be backed by SO per cent Of
the army officers, will be to rehabili-
tate the regular army in the hearts of
the American people. '~ ~4%a> \
One of Weeks problems will be the
selection of chief of staff who has
stood alOOf from factfonalism, who
will not favor this man pr that man
because he happens to be a graduate
of the LeavenwOrth school nor because
he happened to serve at Chaumont or
Paris headquarters. s'/Z..>S.,,'.5 /.
The officers of the regular army de-
sire. closer touch with the American
people. They want sylnpathy for the
service and support for it. The regu-
lars lost a. far higher percentage of
men in battle in proportion to their
numbers than did the emergency army.
OF the regular officers who were killed
or wounded, Wess Point graduates
suffered far out of proportion to their
numbers. The regulars feel that
something is due them from the peo-.
pie and they arc praying that a better
understanding may be reached. !

Officers Of General Staff, .--s
By EDWARD 3, CLARK.


shington.-Secretary Of War John
w. Weeks definitely has announced
one part of his army policy. He has
said that it is his desire to organize
the nations military forces into lone
harmonious, well balanced and effec.
tive army, consisting of the regulars
the National Guard and the organized
reserves"
Further, the secretary Of war has
said:
Every trained soldier discharged
from the regular army has potential
value to the nation, and If this train
ing is maintained and prolonged in the
National Guard, or organized reserve
1t will continue as an active asset"
The regular army of the United
States is shot to pieces today worse
than it ever was on any battlefield, and
those who know the regulars fighting
record will understand what this
means. Secretary Weeks knows all
about everything connected with army
troubles. He knew that he was to be
made secretary Of war long time be-
fore the appointment was made pub
lie. During all that time he studied
the army situation. He called in men
who knew all about the jeal0usies and
the fractional difficulties in the case,
and from both sides of each of the
troubles he secured his information
and made up his mind.
At Odds With General Staff.
The chiefs of many of the bureaus
Of the army have been at odds with
the dominating general staff officials
for two years. Few, if any, of the bu-
reau chiefs were called into consulta.
ton by the general staff officials con.
corning matters affecting their own de-
partments of the service. The gen.
eral staff itself, it is charged, for1nu.
lated legislative programs for the vari.
GUS bureaus without learning the
needs of these bureaus from the
mouths Of the men who were in charge
Of them.
: What happened? When the military
committees of congress began to con.
slider army legislation they sent for
the bureau chiefs and allowed them to
speak In behalf of their services. When
an army officer is before committee
Of congress he is privileged person.
He can speak his mind in answer to
questions freely.

Try Grandmother's Old Favorits
Recipe Of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed. brings back the natural color ana
lustre 10 the hair when faded, streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way TO
get this mixture was TO make 1t at
home, which is mussy and trouble
some. Nowadays, by asking any
drug store for 'NVyeth's Sage and sui
phur Compound" you will get large
bottle OF this famous old recipe I'M
proved by the addition OF other IN
gradients, at a small cost.
Don't stay gray. Try &! no one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as il does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, glossy and attractive.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
lound is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire dark hair ard
youthful appearance. It Is not m
tended for the cure, mitigation or pre-

financial condition of the country and
the urgency of meeting the desire of
the president for economy in public
expenditures, as far as possible in
the postal service"
The postmaster aims to eliminate
extravaganza and expensive methods
which cTept into the postal service
during and Immediately after the
war. To a greater or less extent, the
postOffice department participated in
all war work, such as the draft, the
Liberty loans, food, fuel and labor
conservation and, in short, all war
activities which touched the civilian
population. This necessitated a vast
increase IN clerical force and an in
crease in operating expenses, quite
aside from the payroll The war IS
over and yet there has been very lit
tie curtailment in the extraordinary
expenses or in the auxiliary help or
overtime.
! Postmaster General Hays orders
the elimination at once Of overtime
and also calls upon the postmasters
carefully to revise the working SEIZED
ules of clerks and carriers. To as
sist in this, there will be an inspec-
ton of the routes of every carrier
and collector and very possibly re
adjustment Of routes. In addition ;

The attorney general has rendered
his decision relative to the enforce
ment of the egg law passed by the re-
cent Legislature. in par he says: ut
was apparently the intention OF the
Legislature to charge the health Of
ficer especially with the enforcement
Of the egg marketing law" The pro-
visions referring especially to the
health officers does not, however, re-
lieve other officials charged with the
enforcement Of the law of their obi
cations to do so, or deprive any per-
son of the right and obligation to see
the law enforced if knowledge Of its
violation comes to his attention.
The law referred to requires the
Gambling of all eggs offered for sale
by any person or persons, firm or

interest to farmers and poultrymen

and settlement Mr.. Harding knows, !
as every other sound business man
knows, that efficient transportation
must be maintained in the interests
Of the public welfare. 1t is recogniz-
ed by those conversant with the facts
that the standard Of railway service
must inevitably fall unless the roads
are given the financial relief asked
for them byl the president. They have
exhausted their credits with indus
slies that furnish them with supplies,
such as steel and lumber, of which
they are the heaviest users, and rap
id depreciation is sure to follow I'M
less new funds are Forthcoming for
maintenance.
The president emphasizes the fact
that the money is not to be appropri-
ated for the purchase Of bonds. It
is already in the hands Of the war
finance corporation, lacking only con-
gressional authority for its use as
railroad relief. There is no thought
to ask congress for additional funds,
declares Mr.. Harding. No added eX-
pense, no added investment is requir
ed on the part Of the government
there is no added liability, no added
tax burden How different is al
this from the methods pursued by hi;
predecessor in office. When more
money was required to take care Of
the new burdens of expense LOADED
on to the roads by the federal ad
e ministration, the treasury was asket
to supply the funds and the taxpay
er was called upon to increase hi
) contributions to the cost of govern
ment.

them with S5-cent dollars
and as prices continue to come down,
it viii be necessary to repay addition
al dollars obtained in boom times
with dollars which will be twice az
hard to earn. Of course it is hard,
and the worst is not over. Though
prices have fallen greatly, there rs
still further deflation to be accomp
lished. We are paying the penalty
for violating economic laws, and all
are guilty from the federal govern
ment down. Extravaganza perhaps
iustifiable under the necessity Of win
r.nC the war, was the order Of the
day. For several years, figuratlve-
" speaking, we were borrowing our
selves rich. Now we suffer because
we must pay back.
But our people are looking facts IN
the face. The country is not broke
it is merely bent. Common sense and
hard work-honest wOrk-thrift and
economy will pull US out Of the hole
It is time to take off our coats, go
to work, take our medicine no mat

benefit from our experience. There
have been times before when finan-
cial conditions seemed almost hope
less, but always common sense has
prevailed, and thus it will be again"
