More of Bureau Operation.

To the Editor, The Washington Herald;
How can a man who served thirty
years as an officer in the United
states army, the most autocratic IN
stitution since, Adam first changed
his winter underleaf, be expected
to administer justice when he has
been used to everything but that:
In France, because two men out
of leo did, not know how TO take
care of themselves, the whole 100
were confined to their barracks for
two months. We were fighting for
d mocracy. Suppose an officer VINO
issued such an order secures a post
tion Fat the Veterans Bureau. One
man files q false claim and the next
ninety mine have theirs rejected De-
csuse of the false, claim filed by the
one man.
During the month of yune. 1919,
no American enlisted man was per-
mitted to walk the streets Of Bor-
deaux with a woman, even though
it be his own mother. We were
lighting for democracy. Think of a
man who issued such an orderl
Wouldn't he be splendid specimen
of humanity 10 administer TO the
wants of the disabled enlisted men?
They can never forget that they
once had supreme authority and
were permitted to abuse 1t to their
hearts content. If poor buck pri-
vate does not approach them with
sufficient meekness and humility IT
will be thumbs down for him. And
one who actually insists that for
mer enlisted man has. rights in this
democracy of ours VIII probably be
deported as an "undssiFs pile alien"

The Austrian Crisis.

THE news that Austria had again addressed an
i urgent appeal to the allies for financial aid
follows closely upon the announcement that the
Austrian crown had fallen to 10000 to the Ameri-
can dollar Some idea of what this latest financial
crisis means to the Austrian people, and particu-
lzrly to the middle class whose incomes have not
kept pace with depreciation, may be gained from
the recollection of the fact that before the war
yearly income of 10000 crowns now equivalent to
SIoo was sufficient to support comfortably fam
1y OF five. Spectacular depreciation of currency has
now become more or less common occurrence in
certain European states, but the effect of such de-
probation is much more severe on Austria than on
other countries, since this country is forced pur
chase abroad very considerable proportion of the
aoodstuffs necessary to maintain its population. A
Sudden depreciation of currency is always attended
by corresponding increase in prices. But in the
case Of Austria, which is dependent upon other
eotres for it, food is the prices of these essen
tial commodities which respond most quickly to the
action OF the exchange 1t is clearly apparent that
unless aid is forthcoming to the Austrian govern
ment, this depreciation must continue until the
crown has no value in foreign exchange, in which
event the most disastrous consequences would
follow.
During the past three years the condition of
Austria has been becoming steadily worse until at
the present time the situation is such that it is be-
yord the scope of the private relief which has been
efficiently rendered by the American people. Dur
ing this period the supreme council has discussed
the case of Austria at great length and elaborate
programs have been worked out which have come
to naught because of the allies able or
willing to the burden of providing the
credit necessary to give Austria opportunity to
get on her feet. The failure of the United States
to pass legislation which would permit the post
ponement of claims against Austria, in spite of
the fact that three other nations have also failed in
this respect has given European statesmen the OPP
portunity to hold the United States chiefly
sponsible for economic aid being withheld. These
charges against not wholly justified, but
til have taken the necessary action to postpone
claims cannot entirely escape some share in
the responsibility for the crisis which exists in
Austria and for the much more. serious condition
which is impending.

mo wood the farm no food in the town.
It takes more than half the wood consumed in
America to supply the farms that produce our
food The farm industry is the greatest single
user of wood.
The farmer finds it harder and harder to get
building lumber at reasonable cost. The reason is
clear. Five-sixths of our virgin timber is gone
Two-thirds of all the States with 100000 people
and more than four-ffths of the farm values of the
country, depend for timber on the few remaining
States which still cut than they consume.
Within ten years the entire country will have to
depend on two or three States for nearly all its
softwood lumber
Moreover, what we can not supply at home we
not secure abroad. Far more than half the ma
tions of the world are dependent for timber sup

Even Mexico is an importer of timber while the
