Wasliinpt"n, Feb. 28. Repre sentative Royal C. Johnson, of South Dakota, who enlisted as a private In January, 1918, and darned a first lieutenancy on the battlefields of France, compares the heads of the esont Democratic admluLuratkn I 1 e royal family of Germany in that . ey have never permitted their sons o get hurt ,on the firinjr line. "I regret," Raid Johnson in a speech to his colleagues in the House, "that it is Impossible to get any thing from this administration for Lhe doughboy because no son orl .elative of anyone intimately con nected with it was allowed to fight, facts are facts and you might as well meet them, and it is a shame that these clean-cut American boys were prevented by their fathers or mothers and the administration here at Washington from getting into battle as they would have preferred to do. It is an outrage that thev were not permitted to make the same record that the rest of the boys of he CMunlry could make. "One of the Cabinet members who has been very prolific in his state ments that the world must be made safe for democracy allowed his son to chase submarines on Chesapeake Bay. Finally on September 3, he landed at Bordeaux, France, and was sent to a town forty miles from there for training. I know this boy and he is a real boy and wanted to get in and fight, but would they.le him. I should say not. Within a iek after his arrival there the great lonel of the American Expedltion y Forces. Colonel Hcni9e. wirod fjr him to come to Paris, and after a le Hanson, Fighter, and His lQ-Point Platform i J 4 feA JVaft V 4 i 41 TH ( If 111 ftijVA ; tMllJ'liilil Ole Hanson, mayor of Seattle, Wash., stands on a 10-point platform. This Is it nine youthful Hansons and Mrs. Hanson all summed up to mean "Americanism" because the Hanson family is ty pical American. Hanson brought himself to the attention of the nation recently when he met "REV OLUTION" in a serious strike situation there and beat It. This picture will help the nation to better understand that Hanson means Just what he says when he says "The RIGHT thing is alway3 the BEST thing to do." Hanson is a coiner of terse phrases not Idle words but words with princi-. pies back of them and gained through 45 years of grappling for his fellowmen and family. It. vim aid of him that he was a fighter who never compromised with wrong. He has proved it sb.rt trip to Germany to secure '. iis, he is now .aivfully (ruard ing the person of the Col.jiiel from any intrusion. "Another bright and capable son of a Cabinet member has been re tained in this country and not even allowed to put to sea. I knew of that young man and know that he wouid be a fighting man if he had the chance. His father or mother or the administration were careful to see that he was never taken on a destroy er or allowed to get in danger. "Vet, to be fair, I will say that here is one exception in the son-in-aw of our President, who enlisted in the Y. M. C. A., and, if I remember correctly, was somewhere in France for a week or two, and the news papers report that a shell fell within a few yards of him, greatly jeopar dizing his future tare'?. "How foolish to expect that this administration would do anything Jbr the doughboy except to preach to im: Why, t'.iey would not even allow Oilie Newman, one of the bravest youns men who ever wore the uniform, a former commissioner of the District of Columbia, to get with in the smell of powder. They sent him as an official chaperon of the President's daughter when she went abroad to sing for the . doughboys. When she began singing and the poor kids were lined up, all tired out from :iie work of the day and forced to attend the service, just like in the nursery story of the old lady and her pi.i- 'lie general would tell the Colonel, the Colonel would tell the Major, the. Major would tell the Captain, and the pool' Captain would lie Dreed to line up one-half of the company for the singing festivities. ; "mere surely were some rough spots in this war for the poor Ameri can doughboy and lie will never for get it. It is easy for me to under stand the lack of interest on the part of this administration in him because not one relative connected with it has over been allowed to become one." T" A HUNDRED-DOLLAR STAMP A new .feature of 1919 War Savings Stamp activities is the stamp of $100 denomination, which will probably be placed on the market this month. The $100 stamps will be about the size of i Liberty bond and will sell for $82.60 if put on sale in February. The price will in crease 20 cents each succeeding month until the end of the year.
