Washington, IJ. C. An amazing
story of how millions of dollars' worth
of hospital stores, badly needed for
the treatment or disabled soldiers,
were removed from the Ferryvllle,
Md., supply depot and sold for a small
fraction of their value was related
Monday before the senate committee
investigating the veterans' bureau.
At the very time the bureau was
selling these supplies at approximate
ly 20 per cent of their invoice value,
it was buying the same kinds of goods
at the full market value. While it
was shipping new bed sheets through
one door of a depot to a Boston con
cern for approximately 16 cents each
it was bringing in through another
door more sheets of not so good a
quality purchased from a New York
company for $1.03 each, according to
the testimony.
The detailed story of the transac
tion, told principally by N. B. Hendrix,
chief storekeeper at Perryville, caus
ed the committee to exclaim in aston
ishment at times, and at the conclu
sion of the session General O'Kyan,
chief counsel for the committee, burst
forth :
"The whole transaction is almost
inconceivable, it is a perfect out
rage." Colonel Forbes, former director of
the bureau, under whose direction the
deal was arranged and carried out,
sat beside his counsel and listened at
tentively to the testimony but without
nny display of feeling.
The decision to sell part o the
Pi rryvilie stores as surplus was made
by the bureau planning board on
November 10, 1022. Within a week
the Contract for the sale bad been let
to the Thompson-Kelly company of
Host on and the goods were beginning
to move out of the depot.
"Pretty fast work," General O'Ryan
commented.
Some idea of the magnitude ot the
deal was furnished by the statement
that 150 freight car loads of sheets,
ii well, blankets, gauze and other ma
terials were hauled away.
Lieutenant-Commander Charles R.
O'Loary, chief of the bureau supply
division during the transaction, in
sisted that tho sheets were "reclaim
ed" and were unfit for veterans' hos
pitals Ho also questioned the ae
curacy Of statements that the bureau
was buying sheets at the same time
it was selling 1 hem.
AMERICA PLEDGED
TO HELP EUROPE
Lot Cast With Other Nations,
Says Herrick.
CONCERN PROFOUND
Whole Question Declared to Rise Far
Above Clamor and Strife of
Partisan Politics.
PERIOD FOR FILING
CLAIMS NEARLY UP
With the fifth anniversary of the
world war ending at hand, hundreds
of war veterans of this district, dis
charged shortly after the armistice
was signed, have but a few days more
to file compensation claims with the
l ulled Slates veterans' buruau for dis
abilities due to war service. L. C. Jes
seph, northwest manager ot the bur
eau, urged that every ex-service man
who may bo entitled to government
benefits make- official application for
same immediately as tho five-year
period allowed by the federal law for
making compensation requests expires
in many instances shortly after
November 11 of this year.
The director of tho bureuu may
extend the application period one year
If good cause Is shown why tho vet
eran failed to mako the request for
compensation during the time allotted.
"The veterans' bureuu is anxious
that every ex-service man and woman
know the law in this respect in order
thai no war veteran with even the
slightest servlie disability will fail to
make proper application for govern
ment compensation within the time
limit," said Mr. Jesseph. "Filing of
a claim prelects the veteran In case
the war injury or disability, now slight
and non compensable, becomes aggra
vated at a later date. The claim will
bo on record and the case may be
reopened at any lime. The important
thing Is to file the claim within the
allotted time anil then make every
effort to prove service connection of
the disabilities alleged."
Mr. Jesseph also urged that all ex
service men who have not reinstated
their war risk insurance do so at the
earliest possible dale. The procedure
is simple and delay means increased
piomltim rates as shown hy tho age
table, he stated. Compensation claims
may be filed or government insurance
reinstated either by letter or personal
visit to the veterans' bureau office at
Seattle, l'ortland. Spokane or Hoiso.
Congo Atrocities Aired.
l'russels. Charges of ill treatment
of negroes in tho Helgiim Congo are
published in a bulletin ot the League
for Protection and Evangelization of
the Illucks, which the newspapers re
produced Monday with a demand for
at: investigation. It is alleged that
some unwilling natives were taken
to vaccination centers with ropes
around their necks, sometimes five or
six days' Journey and 27 were kuown
U) have died of hardships.
Navarin Farm, Champagne, France.
"We have put our hands to the plow
and we are willing to run the furrow
through," said Myron T. Herrick, the
American ambassador, in discussing
American participation in European
affairs, during a speech Sunday at the
dedication ot a monument to the
Amercans and French who fell In th3
Champagne district during the world
wer. "Whether we like it or not,'
Mr Herrick added, "our lot now is
cast in with tho other nations to a
very considerable extent."
America's entry into the war, the
ambassador said, was prompted by
idealism and sentiment for France,
but also by "plain common sense, busi
ness and for the right." For high
motives to be effective in results they
"must be founded on sound econo
mics," he continued.
"Tho situation in Europe at this
minute concerns America as profound
ly, though far less tragically, than
did the affairs of 1914 to 1917," the
ambassador declared. "Our continued
wellbeing depends largely upon thv
settlement ot Europe's affairs and
calls for the exercise of the same
common sense and business judgment
as actuated America in joining the
war.
"If we were to stand aloof from
what we call this 'European mess'
when it is apparent the balance can
not be redressed without our help"
the ambassador continued, "then why
did we come into the war in 1917?
Were we mistaken then? Were the
government and the people wrong in
the almost unanimous decision to act?
I answer no. No such disgraceful
verdict upon this case will ever b3
rendered by the American people. Wo
have put our hands to the plow and
wo are willing to run the furrow
through for we now know if the pres
enr problem is not solved, and justly
and quickly solved, then truly Amer
ica will have fought in the war in
vain."
Mr. Herrick said the United State.',
had been forced into the war after
three years of deliberation " by what
wo believed to be our own best in
terests backed by moral indignation,"
and now these same forces wero "call
ing on us to aid In redressing tue
balance of tho world."
"Can it be accomplished without
us?" nskod Mr. Herrick, who con
tinued: "Tho logic of events is strong
er than any man's wishes and the viial
corcerns of a country take precedence
ovtr the personal preference of either
Its statesmen or its individual citi
zens. "Because of the things we fought
for, because of tho things we hope I
for, because ot the things our BUS
died for -whether wo like it or no'.,
our lot now Is cast In with the other
nations to a very considerable extent.
Tlilc whole question rises far and
away nbovo the clamor and strife of
partisan politics, and whosoever seeks
to use it for political advantage sullies
the memory of the dead we have come
here to honor."
Royal Police Punished.
Victoria, B. C For trafficking ir
narcotics two members of tho royal
Canadian mounted. police and a form
er member were sentenced here Sat

ginning of the Melbourne police strike
Wednesday was broken late Saturday

X7 0ULD you hurry away to the
" Man-land,
Little boy with your eyes of blue,
Would you trade nil your precious
treasures.
Real wealth that is fine and true?
They have strunge toys in the Man
land, But of marbles they have not one,
Though they have queer games they
are playing
From morn 'til the day Is done ;
They sail great kites In the Man-land,
So large that you'd be afraid,
And their trains go past so fast so
fast
That you can't see how they're
made.
There's not much fun In the Man-land,
Little boy with your eyes of gray,
Though you think It is very pleasant
As you glimpse it from far away ;
And there's scarcely a one in the Man
land, With all of Its seeming joy.
Who wouldn't turn backward gladly,
And be just a care-free boy ;
But they do strange things in the Man
land, TTiat sensible lads would spurn:
They hide all their tears, their sor
rows and fears,
And this you would have to learn.
They forget their prayers in the Man
land, Little boy with your eyes of brown;
They even forget their munners,
And answer with sneer or frown ;
They tell many tales In the Man-land,
And often they're quite untrue,
But they aren't like the fairy stories
That are told to interest you ;
They grow very cold in the Man-land,
And their laughter gets out of tune;
Oh, stay with your toys, for all little
boys
Go to Man-lund too soon too soon !
