ATTACKS0N,
j. s. ARMY
RESENTED
General Dawes Pours Hot
Shot Into House War
Investigation.

Washington, Feb. Turning
sharply on house war investigating
committees as a whole, Charles G.
Dawes, former head of army sup
ply procurement service in France,
told one Of them today that the
value Of their work had been made
useless through injection of parti
san politics.
Il bitterly resent this effort to
reflect upon the entire army be-
cause some poor devil blundered In
Switzerland" he shouted. You can
hot put blotch ON the army. What
the hell did we 60 in for-to steal
money? 1t was not a Republican
or a Democratic war;. 1t was an
American war, and yet as q rule
these committees try to bring in
partisan politics.
You could use your time inves-
tigating to better advantage right
here trying to save disgraceful gov
ernment waste. You could save
more money for the people; but as
to France, you haven't got evi-
dence to make q case il one existed
and I don't believe it does"
Representative Flood, Democrat
Virginia, told General Dawes his
idea Of investigation was to draw
a lesson for the future; il bad ad.
ministration was shown, to say so
and if there was fraud and graft
to find it and see that the guilty
were punished.
YES" General Dawes replied
"but don't let this thing go befor,
the people as a. partisan fight. Ev
erybody wants to hear something
bad about someone else. I am no
hero to make charges that woult
blacken the name, Of q soldier wit
can not CONS In 10 be heard.
Asked about grafters who fol
lowed the American army t
France, Mr.. Dawes asked:
Deported One Nan.
"Yes, they were there, some o
the most despicable characters o.
earth, trying to help the army b
selling it things needed at exorbi
tant figures. There was one ma
we caught and deported. What
his name? oh, what's the use!
I am not a muckraker! He was
traitor and l wish We could hav
shot him"
General Dawes praised the me
in the army, saying it was the fash
ion nowadays to condemn them.
There were many women at tn
hearing, but it didn't feaze the gen
eral, who swore constantly.
Considering everything" he de
clared, the record Of accomplish
ments Of the war department i
getting ready for war was a create
accomplishment than Of France o
Great Britain in the same perio
Of time. I don't believe you ca
pick flaws there, and l am nc
speaking as a Democrat.
Long after this committee
dead and gone the achievements {
the American army will stand as a
everlasting blaze Of glory. Yo
have tried to make a mountain ou
Of q mole hill. but thank God th
army was American, not Republ
can nor Democratic"

from Okcmah. Public temper is not such as

IRELAND AND u

The correspondence in the case docketcd Ire
land VS.. Great Britain is illuminating, Its out
standing feature is the evident good faith Of all
concerned, coupled with the tremendous part
played in the undertaking hy Gen. Jan SHUTS,
the South African statesman.
II Is clearly evident that all parties In inter-
est sincerely desire to reach an accommodation.
possibly excepting the Uulster faction, This is
decidedly hopeful, success may yet attend. II
is also clearly evident that Mr.. do Valera is
willing 70 80 further in the way OF a compro-
mise than his followers will permit.
But 1t is the reasoning Of General SHUTS
that stands out In bold rclicr. Having trod
somewhat the smo road that the Irish are
now on. tho South African statesman has an
uncanny insight into their feelings and ls on
abied to council them with vast wisdom con-
corning their own good,

MIR. WHITE uNDuLY ALARMED

Mr.. Chairman white. Of the national demo
cratic committee, act, with commendablc
promptnoss In sounding a note NJ alarm at the
approach u what hc fonily believes IL an eco
monte wolf. Thus he cxecutcs hts office with
fidelity. But Is Mr. Chairman white sure Of
himself or the approaching danger
Because his party has dcciaimcd voiuhly
that the cost Of government cannot be reduced
below tho level It established. and because the
republican party pledged Itself TO such reduction
and has recently indicated its determination
TO make that pledge good. Mr.. Chairman white
PUSHES into print 10 charge bad faith ana warn
the people that In the event the taxation pro-
gram OF reduction being worked out by the
republican congress- does 20 through. nothing
short Of bond Issues for deficits can result.
Maybe so. maybe so. ono cannot be sure ~
anything these days. But II is recalled that tho
political organization Mr.. white represents has
been a very peculiar general manager In the
not distant past. A general manager OF the
government who bought three million curry
combs for less than . million horses evidently
labored under tho impression that thcy shot
curry combs out OF mortars and that curry
combs were absolutely essential 10 the winning
OF the war. or possibly n dear friend had the
combs to sell. Again. ono can never tell.
Therefore tho economic Judgment OF Mr..
Whites party must remain under polite suspi-
cion for a considerable length OF time, no mat
ter how disappointed we may be at some OF tho
decisions OF its successor. Possibly tho bond
issues will come. We are quite sure they viii
n the school OF economists represented by Mr..
Chairman White regain control OF the federal
government. But In any event we will have
had a breathing spell In the meantime. That
IL worth something.
while tho people may view with alarm and
discuss In critical vein some OF the decisions OF
the present Washington regimc they should
not be understood az honing for a return TO
that from which they 40 narrowly escaped.
Most Of the criticism directed against the ex-
listing regime is that It Is running so Close TO
the form established by it's predecessor There
fore Mr.. Chairman white has precious little
room for shaking hands with himself over the
prospects.
whether tho final record Of the present re
gime is altogether satisfactory to the public or
not, when II Is eventually complete we opine
there will he precious little satisfaction for
school Of economists, In comparison with tho
record they made.
Those called on to stamp out an epidemic NJ
disease always have a much moro difficult task
than those who light heartedly scattered the
germs. Mr.. Chairman white may indeed have
perceived "A wolf approaching. but II was a fac
tional and not a national wolf.
