SLOAN HOPES TO
MAKE WAR RISK
BUREAUCHANGE
Nebraska Congressman Intro
duces Bill Which Would Re
lieve McAdoo of Big
Department.
Washington Bureau of Omaha Bee.
Washington, Nov. 1. (Special
Telegram.) Congressman Sloan
has started something today in the
house that bids fair to rival a snow
ballthe more you push it the big
ger it gets. '
He introduced a bill to transfer
the administration of Article 3, or
the compensation for death or disa
bility of the war risk insurance act,
to the pension bureau.
The pension bureau, according to
, Mr. Sloan, has all the machinery,
equipment and experience, as well
as the clerical, legal, medical and
administrative talent, to take over
the work.
A leading federal official, speak
ing of the bill, said that such a law
would increase the efficiency over
the new organization 50 per cent,
and effect- a saving of 80 per cent,
which would amount to $8,000,000
or $10,000,000 annually.
The present compensation divi
sion was placed in the Treasury de
partment at a time when it was
highly fashionable to grant to Sec
retary McAdoo all the power and
jurisdiction he asked.
' Will Start Fight.
Further, it was granted largely in
response to a prejudice of the appro
priation sub-committees of both
the houses. These sub-committee
members are Martin of Virginia.
Overman of North Carolina and
Robertson of Arkansas 5f the sen
ate, anJ Byrne of Tennessee, Sisson
of Mississippi and Buchanan of
Texas in the house.
The bill will undoubtedly create
no end of debate, as the friends of
Secretary McAdoo will endeavor to
keep the war risk bureau as at pres
ent constituted.
Congressman Sloan believes that
lie will have support of the invalid
pensions committee of the house, to
which it has been referred. In any
event, he proposes, in the interest
of economy and efficiency, to have
the war risk bureau merged with
. the pension bureau.
Hitchcock Aids Senator Saulsbury.
Senator Hitchcock will go to the
aid of his friend, Senator Saulsbury
o." Delaware, who is in extreme dan
ger of defeat, by making a speech
for him at Newark, Del., tonight.
The senator will go to Nebraska
Saturday or Sunday.
Senator and Mrs. Warren left to
aight for Cheyenne, Wyo.
Representative Mondell , whose
entire family has been ill with the
influenza, hopes to leave for his
home in Newcastle Saturday.
Fury of Huns Vented
; In Italy as in France
By Atrocious Crimes
Washington. Nov. 1. "As the
Italian army prosecutes its vic
torious advance," says a Rome dis
patch, "most deplorable evidence is
"coming to light of atrocities by the
enemy during the period of inva
sion. In Italy, as in France, the
-fury of the barbarians has been in
tense against things and persons.
Such fury has been witnessed not
only by Italian soldiers, but by rep
resentatives of Italian and, allied
press accompanying advancing col
umns. "Everywhere there are tokens of
willful, useless destruction and bru
tal robberies. Terrified-eyed wit
nesses narrate horrible scenes.
"The Italian government, the mili
tary authorities and the allies will
not fail to carry out rigorous in
quiry regarding abominations com
mitted, of which the enemy must
give an account.
"Italians found in freed zones are
in a terrible state. They lack everything,-
because the enemy during a
year of occupation destroyed,
burned, sacked and carried off
everything."

BELGIANS SAVED
BY AMERICANS
AY REFUGEES
Exiles Are Returning to Their
Homes in Liberated Sec
tions; Population in Good
Health with Yank Aid.
Belgian Headquarters in Flan
ders, Nov. 1. (By Associated
Press) After four years of exile.
the residents of the now liberated
sections of Belgium are returning
home. On all roads peasants' carts
and other vehicles loaded with
household goods are moving north
and east of the rear of the old
battle line. The returning ones ex
hibit no exhilaration, merely plod
ding on behind their carts silently,
apparently unwilling to rejoice be
fore they had seen their villages
and knew that their homes were
intact.
Young men and middle-aged men
were on the roads, but they were
moving toward the south. Being
of military age, the men were going
to join the Belgian army. They had
succeeded in escaping deportation
by hiding in cellars and elsewhere
when the Germans departed.
The population does not appear
to have suffered physically during
the German occupation. The women
and children appear "to be healthy
and many declared they had suf
fered no actual privation.
"But it was due to. the American
food commission," they added.
"Had we been at the tender mercies
of the Germans, we should have
starved."
The American Red Cross and the
American food commission already
are extending relief. The recon
quered country is badly in need of
food of all kinds.
