TRAINING CAMP FOR VETS HIT Vocational School for Disabled Men Called' "Farce and Fraud by Judge Marx Cincinnati, Ohio, Jan. 28 That vocational training at. Camp Sherman, Chillicothe, Ohio, Is "a farce and a fraud" is the state ment made by Judge Robert S. Marx of this city,, national com mander of the disabled American veterans of the world war, in a report presented in. Washington today to Martin B. Madden, chair man of the committee on appro priations of the house ot repre sentatives. The report is the re sult of a personal visit made by Judge Marx to the camp. "The school rooms have been made over in a make-shift fash ion," says Marx in the report. "In the electrical school, which has an enrollment of 80, there were only 37 men actually pres ent, and of this number only two were doing anything." The equipment, he eald, was such as could be picked up around any abandoned camp. Students told him that the reason they were not working was that equip ment had not come. "It looked like real work was being done in the tailoring school," the report said. "There, were only two or three men who seemed to be idle, and it appear ed that instructions were being given.'' The shoe repairing school, the report stated, was the busiest ln the camp. "We did not find a single sta dent who expressed satisfaction with the methods of teaching or with the courses of instruction he was receiving," Judge Marx said. "Many of the students wanted to go homo but were afraid to ask fearing they would be dropped frfom training entirely and. thus losing the chance of rehabilitation."

Seating of Newberry Act of Infamy Which Words Can't Describe Washington, D. C, Jan, 28. The senate was told Friday by Senator Reed, democrat, Missouri, that "never in all the history of legislative bodies in the world had so shameless a resolution been adopted as that of the senate in confirming Senator Newberry, republican, Michigan, in his seat. "There is not a man who voted for this resolution," Senator Reed said, "who did not brand in red letters above and over his political record the word 'dishonor.' No word of tongue and no word of pen can describe the degradation of that resolution and the self-confessed degradation of -those who supported it." , "The tongue is paralyzed in an effort to describe a thing like that. If he was wrong, why did you not wipe out the effect of the wrong and not adopt it?" Senator Reed continued. "You say : 'This thing that crawls and has a forked tongue is a poisoned serpent, Therelore, we will admit it to the family circle and allow it to wind its folds about the arms of our children.' "You say : 'This is a dog with the rabies. Every time he sinks his fangs into the flesh they carry with them deadly disease and therefore we will turn the dog loose on the community." "You say : "This is a thing black with infamy. There fore, we will spread it as a mantle over the senate chamber.' "You say : 'This is a deadly leprosy that, introduced into the body politic, will destroy the virtue of the na tion. Therefore, we will introduce its victim in the sen ate and bring the disease here.' "You say: 'This office was sold for money. There fore, he who bought it shall be confirmed in his title.' "You say: The thing is crimson in its crime and reeking rotten in all its parts. Therefore, it shall be introduced into the senate chambe-r to vote on a bill con cerning the welfare of the state.' 'You wrote the epitaph on decency in this body and you have preserved it for all time in the records of the state. "A new word ought to be introduced into our tongue a word that would describe this sort of thing that has happened Newberryism. It will not serve much use, however, because the thing that I have described never will appear upon the face of this earth for there never will appear upon the face of this earth another band of gentlemen who will write down in cold type 'thrthing is bad, wicked, dangerous to the state and therefore, we do that thing; therefore, we ratify it, we confirm it. we sanctify it'."
