DEATHS DUE TO
UNPREPAREDNE

From the New York Tribune
Although General George II. Har-
ries may be charged with drawing
the long bow when he claims that
more than so per cent. OF the
Americans killed in the war were
killed unnecessarily because they
didn't know how to fight" there is
an undercurrent of truth in his as
sertion that should not be over
looked.
Now that the war is over and we
can consider calmly the mistakes
which we made It is difficult to min
imize the handicap which we placed
upon many Of our men through in
adequate training. It Is true that
the British. after the humiliation of
the first hundred thousand, rushed
green men into the worst OF the
fighting with practically no training
at all. But this was done under the
stress OF dire emergency The
Germans were moving their ruthless
military machine forward with fierce
precision. and even though the un-
trained English soldiers hurriedly
shipped across the Channel to stand
up against this efficient force who
fought with great .gallantry and par
tally checked the enemy, yet they
served as little more than the |
'kanonen futter" which the Ger
mans so scorned.
When We declared war the emer-
ency was hardly as imperative. We

/ for raising the money because they
feared the cutlery II more taxes were
loaded upon the people.
Yet II these Congressman really
believed the country demanded the
bonus they would have formulated
a scheme for getting the money,
and in the end, Of course, 1t would
have come out of the pockets of the
taxpayers. Some advocates of the
bonus have tried TO deceive the
public on that point.
Despite coercive methods the veto
by President Harding was sustain
ed in the Senate. The people should
be exceedingly thankful that the
country has a President with the
courage to resist this attack upon
the pubic Treasury. And the pub
lie should bear in mind what Sena-
tor Borah. of Idaho, in discussing
this matter recently said. He de-
clared that "a nation whose citizen
ship has been drpgged and de-
bauched by bonuses gratuities and
subsidies has entered upon a road
over which no nation yet has ever
beat a successful retreat"
This is the higher conception Of
the evils which reside in such a
measure as the bonus. And Mr..
Borah spoke the truth.

Craze Treasury Problems Ahead
(From the New York Herald.)

half OF the approximate three bill
lions OF dollars to which the budget
makers and other economizers are
striving to cut down the Govern
ment's annual expenditures.
The cost OF maintaining the army
and navy is still huge at total for
the two far beyond half a billion of
dollars; the activities of the Depart
ments of Agriculture, Commerce and
Justice are enormously expanded
and never OF greater importance to
the country. The Government
shipping business is losing millions
of dollars a month, and in all Fed
eral fields the Treasury is called
upon to meet vast bills of all sorts
and descriptions.
On top of all this spending. the
greater part of which Is a war her
itage, the Government, as President
Harding also set forth in his bonus
has four billions Of debt
coming due within the current fiscal
year and ten billions of debt coming
due within the next six years There
IS no way TO pay off these war loans.
In great part they will have to be
with new borrowing ar
Engagements and with an indefinite
of heavy taxes for in
terest and sinking fund purposes.
This outlook of continued debt
and taxes cannot be good for Ameri-
can industry and business. cannot be
good for the American public whose
cost of living must be Influenced by
the taxes, cannot be good for any
body, whether the soldier seeking a
bonus or the taxpayer wondering
how It could be paid.
To have piled vast bonus expendi-
lures on those colossal sums would
have put a crushing burden on the
country at a time when what it
needs is a tightening of its load.

In paper read before the Boston
convention Of the International As
ISOLATION of Identification Alexander
Dunlap of Chicago made the state
ment that in the United States we
have the most resourceful detectives
and the poorest tools for detective
work found anywhere in the world.
In nearly every country save our
own when a person is arrested in
any city his photograph, HIS descrip-
ton and his finger prints are sent at
once to a central national bureau OF
criminal records. In America there
IS no such bureau. In pressing the
need OF such an addition TO our
crime suppression equipment Mr..
Dunlap pointed out the fact that in
our existing rogues' galleries many
photographs are more or less obso-
lete and all of them are Of little value
save in the restricted regions in !
which they are on file. They are
mostly photographs of old offenders
who have been repeatedly arrested. |
But since the war an entirely new
crop OF lawbreakers has come into |
action. For the most part they are

crop has doubled our criminal popu-

In his message accompanying his
disapproval of the bonus bill Presi-
dent Harding gave Congress a strik-
ing summary of the financial prob
lens and difficulties Immediately
ahead OF the Government. There is
an impending deficit of $3.50. 1000, 900.
This means in plain English that the
Treasury will be called upon to meet
in a single year $3.50, 900. 900 more of
expenditures than It will have in
come to cover those expenditures.
The deficit next year may be still
worse.
The Budget Bureau and all the
department heads OF the Federal Ad-
ministration are leaving no stone I'M
turned TO get their spendings down

feasible In such vast undertakings
as the Government is inescapably

to get the Federal spendings down

judged by the fact that interest re-
