When you consider the real purchasing power of the dol-

as much for us as the dollars we received for the same hat two
years ago. True we receive more dollars but they're cheaper

called for the employment of approx
imately twenty French divisions sup
ported on the left by six American
divisions.; On November 11 the ne
cessary movements of concentration
of bot:i French and American troops
were under way but none of them
were in position.
Captain Liverinore appears to be
under the impression that on Novem
ber 1 1 General Mangin was in com
mand of the French troops on the
right of the 92nd division, and that
that division was scheduled to at
tack on . the . immediate left of the
French on November 14. Both these
impressions are wrong,. General
Mangin would have commanded the
French attack of the 14th but on
the 11th none of his troops were in
tUe line and General Gerard com
manded the army on the right of the
92nd division. The plans for the at
tack of the 14th contemplated plac
ing two American divisions, the third
and the 29th in the first line on the
right of the 92nd division, and did
not' contemplate an attack by the
92nd division except in the way of
following up to keep in touch with
the advance of the left of the third
and 29th divisions.
Implication KiToneous
"On November 11. parts of the

cation that the Americans were the
only troops which advanced or at

roneous. 'Vith reference to your question
as to whether it was true that the

wastage of men with the armistice in
fight as we were. 1 must say that I
think the language used appears to
contain implications which are un
warranted. Neither the French nor
the Americans were regardless of the
wastage of men on November 11, or
at any other time. Neither on No
vember 11. nor at any other time
were 'American lives needlessly wast
ed because some of our officers were
not as considerate of their men as
the French were.' nor were Ameri
can lives needlessly wasted for any
other cause, unless it be that we had
not adequately prepared for war In
time of peace. In 1918 the French
had been exhausted by four years of
war and it is true that nearly all of
our divisions attack with more dash.
enmusiasm and courage than any
but a ver.y few of the best French di
visions but this superiority of prac
tically all of our divisions was not
due to lack of consideration of his
men. by any American officer.

which the booths are equipped are
provided with similarly shaded stand

The furnishings in the center of

ASSEMBLY BANS

Suspension Was With Idea of
Determining True Stand
Says Speaker Sweet
CONGRESS IS FOLLOWED
Lusk Says Rejection Amounts
to Challenge of Fitness
of Quintet
NEW YOKK. Jan. 10. The action
of the state assembly in suspending
the five Socialist members was to de
termine, whether the organizations
they represent "advocate methods, or
employ tactics" to bring about the
ovetthrow of the government, Thad-
deus C. Sweet, speaker of the as
sembly, declared in a letter to
Charles E. Huges. made public to
night. It was in reply to the former
governor's letter condemning the
ousting of the Socialist assemblymen.
Every patriotic citizen should
withhold judgment. Speaker Sweet
added, "until evidence respecting the
Socialist thirty of America and other
organizations had been presented to
the judicjary committee of the as
sembly before which the suspended
Socialists would be impartially
judged." as to their "rights and fit
ness" to take their seats.
VnKref4 K Followed.
The suspension follows the recent
practice of congress. State Senator
Clayton R. Lusk. chairman of the
joint legislative committee investigat
ing seditious activities, declared to
night. The assembly's action amounts to
a challenge or the fitness to serve of
the Socialists "as individuals." Sen
ator Lusk said. The charges against
them are based on evidence presented
before the joint legislative commit
tee, ne added, although th committee
is not "the complainant nor a party
to the hearings."
Affiliation Simply Evidence.
"The charge is that they as Indi
viduals .personally stand for the ov
erthrow of the established state and
national governments by force and
violence," Senator Lusk said. "Their
affiliations with the. Socialist party,
as now organized, and the Rand
school .their attitude towards com
munism, and their activities are simp
ly evidence having a bearing on the
question of whether they individually
are pledged to the violent and revo
lutionary overthrow of our government."
