WASTE IN THE WAR OFFICE
Hembfr of Parliament to Ask for
More Buiineti-Like Ad
ministration. rommlttee, aa outlined la an Interview:
"There la fearful waste folna; on In
almnet every department of the s-ovem-merit,
tut itmrt of all. I think, n the
war office. The waate there la primarily
due to the system of leavln our (treat
war organisation In the lianla of half
pa Mrra. We do not encourage young
men; they are anubbed by their ol er
auperlora whenever they surest a new
business pmpoaltlon, and all their Ini
tiative U killed.
"Every Up la running to waate, for
In almost every ram the wrong man has
control of the tap. In Germany the
spending departmenta were given over to
business men at the bettlnnlng of the
war. We ought to have done the same.
We have tried to work wltn a system
which may have done well enough for
leare. tut which Is useless now. In
stead of putting the colossal arrange-,-nenta
Into the hands of evperlemed
business men, the war office ejllel up
retired officers from all parts of the
country men who, however keen, e:u 4
not poaslbly be expected to understand
the intricacies of the various organisa
tions necessary.
Text Mirk Meat.
"It la simply a srandaj the way f a 4
la being wasted. Take meat a man la
allowed one and a quitter pounds if
neat dally. It la tmponslhle to eat i0
much meat. The result is a quantl.y Is
thrown away or sold.
"Ajiother shameful waste of money Is
tsklng place In billeting. Hunlreds of
huts, to my knowledge have been empty
for several months because they ara not
fit to live In. This means that thounan a
of men are billeted at 17a 6d per we k
when they ought to be living In huts for
which we paid to be comfortable and
draught and rain proof.
"The greatest scandnl of the whole
lot haa been taking place in the buying
of horses. I know of rases where horsa
have been bought by the war offl'e au
thorities, sent to camp, and rejected aa
unfit. The were then sold at auction,
bought again by dealers. ant to the
count: y and bought again by the war of
fice authorltlea. A brand Is now being
used, I am told, on the quarters of th i
hoises, but hitherto the noises were
t randed on the hoots, I bel eve at any
rate, somewhere where the dealers coalil
simply rasp the brand off.
"Take the railways as an Instance.
They certainly are under government
control, but they are managed ty busi
ness men who meet, I understand, every
day.
"I know for a fact that If you want a
sixpenny rubber stamp In a ceitaln gov
ernment military office you have to
get the Initials of men tn eight different
d partments.
"Another great wart e of the people's
money la In coal. Our great railway
companlea alone consume 0,00 tons of
coal per day. They are paying a rre
thlng like 30 a ton for it. The govern
ment having guaranteed the dividends of
the railway companies, the money of
this extra coat comes out of the people's
pockets."
profession. Dr. Iehlkl, minister of educa
tion, was present and spoke of the value
of the work of Dr. Teusler and his asso
ciates The meeting developed th fact
that plana are rapidly progressing for
th establishment of the proposed Inter
national hospital at Toklo.

MADRID, July n. Thousands of Fpan
lah laborers have emigrated to France
since the beginning of the war. owing
to the scarcity of labor there and the eon
sequent high wages) offered. As a result.
there Is such a scarcity of agricultural f
labor In Spain that wages are three times
those paid a year ago.
The emigration to France haa been en
couraged by French agents, who are re
cruiting laborers both male and female
ror the agricultural districts In aouth
and central France. Industrial leader
here believe that the emigration will con
tinue after the war. and may cause a
serious dislocation In the labor market

GENEVA, Aug. . The Italian troops
fighting on th Isonso comprise several
regiments from the south of Italy and
Satdlna and some soldiers from Corsica,
who, when It comes to hand to hand

use their daggers and stilettos. The
Italian offlcera have frequently told these
troops that a bayonet end of a rifle Is
of far more utility than a dagger, but the
advice is useless. Pet haps tt la Instinct
