Huadreds of Questionnaires
Are Being Returned Incor
rectly Filled in; Means
Answering Again.
i -"ar. bcan.l of the several divi--v
i.t greater Omaha are swamped
w.'.'.i wort:, and the tnembers are
"diking day and tiight to keep up.
!:i addition to mailing out the 5 per
e:i! of the total number of ques
:oi.naires daily, hundreds of ques
tionnaires are now being returned.
H.u'h (juesti'innaire must be inspected
airt iiiilv to m'c that all questions have
hee'i au?weteJ correctly, and in
many instances it is necessary to no
tify the registrant that he must go
either through the whole process
.iga'in or correct the questionnaire,
k-Mre it can be filed for classifica
tion. Orders in the form of lengthy and
complicated bulletins are received and
probably within an hour are counter
manded by telegraphic orders from
Lincoln, and, as one member of the
hoards expressed himself, no one
knows where they arc at.
Great flocks oi registrants of a
foreign extraction are now appearing
before the various boards with in
terpretors to assist in tilling out the
questionnaires. The legal advisors are
the busiest men on the job. In ad
dition to giving advice they also have
to act in the capacity of clerk in fill
ing out the questionnaires, as many
of the registrants are poor penmen.
The district board is a regular bu
reau of information. Scores of reg
istrants troop in there asking all
kinds of information relative to en
listing or filling out their question
naires, and Chief Clerk Sutton and his
assistants are kept on the jump from
early morning until late at night.
Washington Will Probe
Conditions at Funston
An immediate investigation of con
ditions at Camp Funston will be or
dered by Senator Hitchcock, accord
ing to advices from Washington.
The alleged deplorable conditions at
the big national army cantonment
were given wide publicity in Omaha
by an exclusive story in The Bee, in
which Mrs. A. H. McConnell, an Oma
ha mother, made a scathing arraign
ment of the treatment of the sol
diers. The Washington investigation will
be based on the; statements of Gen
eral Gorgas. who charged unsanitary
conditions at Funston.
"Statements in the report of Gen
eral Gorgas must be amplified and
explained before the senate commit
tee, and if such conditions exist we
shall attempt to find out why the
camp was located in such a notorious
ly unhealthy place." said Senator
Hitchcock.
