in-al11s. ! refer tn Brigadier Gener-
AZ Sawyer, recently Of Marion, Ohio,
but now personal physician to Presi-
dent Harding and advisor to the chief
executive III matters concerning dis
abled soldiers.
General Sawyer has opinions Of his
own concerning how America should
care for her war wounded, and be
cause Of his personal relation to the
President, his ideas are not lightly Il
be reckoned with.
Recently the general was accused
by the American Legion Of obstruct-
ing the Veterans Bureau hospital
building program for the disabled
I almost said the disabled hospital
building program. In explaining his
attitude, and attempting to justify 1t,
the general commented upon what he
considered the change of sentiment in
the American people toward its SOL
diers o. suffering in government
and contract hospitals. He told how
eighteen months ago, people who
wished to do something for the dis
abled crowded his office, but that
now the situation had changed.
Then the general dictated his IA
NOUS phrase. Few are there, indeed.
who have particular concern" he re-
piled to A. A. Sprague of the Legion,
who has accused him of delaying the
much needed hospital program.
Perhaps it is true. 1t may be that
the general, as an astute interpreter
of public opinion, has diagnosed his
swn case and thas of the public cor
rectly, and that outside of veteran or
CARNATIONS and their auxiliaries, the
peopel are Indifferent or at least ap-
athletic toward the fate of the men
whom they cheered and wept over
three short years ago.
= We reporters know that the public
is tickle, changeable. 1t demands to
be entertained above all else, and
must be intensely interested before
it will throw itself intellectually
into a project.
But the writer does not believe the
American people have forgotten, nor
does he believe that the newly-coined
phrase, "Few are there indeed, who
have particular concern" is a correct
diagnosis. Of the American conscience,
and he knows it cannot be, s. long as
there are men like Mackall, suffering
in makeshift hospitals, who in their
own forgetfulness of self, recall to
those who did not enter the war,
the war still continues today for
of Americas broken young
Mackall died a short time after /
talked to him, and I imagine that my
was the last he gave. His
funeral was quite an event. President
and Mrs. Harding sent flowers, the
body lay in state for "a hours, and
hundreds of Legiohnaires and other
veterans turned out to do him honor.
A firing squad fired three rounds
over his grave, and a bugler sounded
taps, "good night to the brave"
But Mackall's soul goes marching
on. And his buddies will take up the
torch which he let fall, and will con-
tinue to prove the falsity of the new
ly-coined phrase, Few are there, in
deed, who have particular concern"

AN UNTENABLE POSITION

Commissioner William A. Hart
stated at the hearing on the river
bridge held here last Friday that
the State Commission had decid
ed that no more lettings Of con-
tracts would be advertised after
those bids to be opened August
23rd, and that owing to the fact
that the War Department had
not passed on this river bridge
in time to get it includede in that
letting that it would be after af-
ter the first Of next year before
the contract for the bridge could
be let.
The contract for the road on
either side Of the river was let
some time ago and actual con-
struction is in progress, which
will mean the building Of road
leading nowhere and absolutely
useless for the purpose for which
It was built. This bridge is a
part of the Scotland Neck-Rich
Square project and the project
will not be completed until the
bridge is constructed. There
can be no logical reason why this
bridge contract cannot be let af
ter the 23rd Of August.
Furthermore, it is generally
felt that some one has blunderej
IN not requesting the War De
partment before June 9th for
PERMISSION to construct this
bridge over a navigible stream
even though q contract had beer
let for the road and actual con
struction had begun.
