doing other things which not only
robbed the country, but imperiled the
lives of its soldiers. , E=sz

charge the ORD iaasT + asnmers of the

been that this man was protiteer in
the ordinary sense, for possibly he:
made assmall profit only on each arti-
Gle sold, but the fact that high wages
were paid enabled certain workers to-
buy for themselves many .-uxuries,
some Of which probably were useless.
