G WORD FROM WASHINGTON. G
00ooCoCo0C0000

Washington, d. G.. - Because Of the
utter lack Of ordinary foresight and
executive ability in the Wilso nadmin-
istration, thousands Of invalid soldiers
of the recent war are denied the hos
pital service most communities pro-
vide for paupers. The Harding admin
istration is bending every effort to re-
lieve the situation but it cannot in a
day accomplish that which should
have been attended to in advance. SO
disgraceful has the condition become
that a Democratic Senator, Walsh, of
Massachusetts, has condemned the
lack of care for wounded soldiers as
severely as did another Democrat,
Chamberlain of Oregon, condemn the
dilatoriness of the Wilson administra-
ton in getting actively into the war
That there was no need for lack Of
hospital facilities is abundantly
proven by the statements made by
Senator Wish who points out that it
would have been an easy matter to
transform into hospitals some of the
numerous environments which housed
the soldiers during the training period
While some of these buildings were
not suitable for hospital purposes,
many of them were of such character
as to make them easily adaptable to
the housing and care of men suffering

gets weary of meeting people. In fact,
there is strong suspicion that the
President gets lot of personal pleas
ure out Of greeting people who just
want to shake his hand and offer a
single remark or two about his poll
cies. Recently Mr.. Harding met some
5000 members of the Daughters of the
American Revolution and 1t is said
that he found something different to
say to pretty nearly every one of them,
as he shook hands. For the personal
safety of the President, the officials in
charge of affairs at the White House
require that a visitor must be vouched
for by a Senator or Congressman or
some other person of known RESPONSE
bility, but other than this there is no
restriction upon the number of visi-
tors to Washington who may person.

he has very particular grievance.

HIS money with which to give hand
some burial including cremation to |
another man! Eighteen months ago,
Mr.. Nader says, before entering the |
Laurel Hill almshouse, he gave his
last dollars to the undertaken with di-
rections for their spending. The other
day he wandered into gathering
place of his old Hoboken cronies and
they jumped him with the statement
that he was dead-dead and his ashes
reposing in a vase in the crematory.
He denied 1t, but they insisted so firm
w that he went to the undertaken
about it. Yes, said the undertaken, it
was all true, including the fact that
his money had been used for the cere-
mony. The almshouse attempted to
straighten matters out by explaining
to the undertaken that it was a differ

SAYS he understood it to be Nader and

little burial money.
