New York Times Hires Officer to Write Antidote to •'Three

NEW YORK, March 20.—Last fall

"Under Fire" told for the French, w.,„ tijat "Three Soldiers' was cither
what "Men In War" told for the a "base libel" on the American arm-
Austrian.
But that isn't what this piece is
being written about. No sooner had
ihe book come from the preen than
it began to soil. For a little time
auch bourbon papers as the New
York Times Ignored It, but they soon
found that people wero reading It
perhaps even believing it. That, of
course, wouldn't do. The plain un-
varnished truth about the army in
war about ny army lu war
mustn't get Into print; not. oven as
much of it as might bo put Into print
without subjecting the author and
the publisher to prosecution for ob-
scenity.
Antl-dote.
So the Times called upon Con
Ingsby Dawson, poet-soldier in the
t anadlan army who by the way was
an officer -anti one of the most ro-
mantic and plausible glorifiers of
this war. in particular. (Should it.
perhaps, be called the "late' war?)
Lieut. Dawson responded nobly. In a
long, spiteful and vituperative article,
which was given the place of honor
in the Times' "Sunday Magazine,
and which was enUtled "Insulting the
Army," he denounced "Three Sol
dlers" and Its author.
But that seemed, if it affected the
sales of the book at all. to send them
up taster than ever. So a fortnight
later the Times again printed a Ions,
conspicuously featured diatribe
against "Three Soldiers." but more
temperately done and written with
especial zeal about pointing out such
facts as that 'Three Soldiers" was
ies, or the hideous truth.
Well, Dos I'assos, who has been In
Europe since tho war, is back In
New York. He was much surprised
when told that the book had created
any commotion. He couldu't under-
stant it.
It's true," he said simply. Mr
didn't know, he said, that It would
start anything." He merely wrote
t— before he returned from France
—because he thought the story was
worth writing, to 'get It off his
chest."
Anther Surprised.
"I didn't know America had any
illusions," he added. "I was only iu
this country one week during the
war. I had signed up with the
French Ambulance Servtce long be-
fore the. United States went into the
war. and served in the Vosges in
'he spring of 1017. Then I came bac k
for ono week because I had to get a
waiver on account of my eyesight in
order to join the American Army
Ambulance Corps. Finally I man*
aged to get a waiver, and I went
right back."
His three soldiers were typical, ho
said, of tho "under dog" in the army,
and he tried to show what the "un-
der dog" underwont in the army.
"And us a matter of fact," he de-1
clared, "tho people in the book were |
people I knew. A good deal of tho ;
book was put down almost word for
word, as people told it to me, or di-
rectly from actual happenings I wit-
nessed myself." __

WARNS U. 5. OF "GERMAN MENACE'
CHICAGO* March 20.—A fresh
"German menace." which is slowly-
being forgotten by the American peo-
ple. was again brought forth here
Thursday by Miss Anne Morgan,
daughter of the late J. Picrpont Mor-
gan, who appeared here in her speak-
in g tour of the country In the Inter-
est of the committee for Devastated
France.
It will be remembered that tho
Morgan interests, perhaps more than
any other large financial interests of
the country, were behind the loans
made to the allios and in floating
several of the allied loans, the Mor-
gan house had complete control of
their sale.
Attacking Germany, Miss Morgan
declared that that nation was "no
more defeated today than she waa in
1914.'" and said that "we were fools
ir we couldn't see it."
Germany, she said, is everywhere
and in every line, making a super-
human effort to re-establish herself.
"Everywhere she is re-building hef
trolly lines, her railroads, her build-
ings and everything which is fastened
to the soil and cannot be taken from
her." said Miss Morgan .
"Her aim." Miss Morgan said, is
to control the markets of the world.
To accomplish this, she is undersell-
ing other countries in the prices she
asks for her commodities. Allowed
to continue, she will succeed."
Miss Morgan declared that Gen-

When two large and powerful
groups of operators in the Pittsburg
Held and in southern Ohio served
notice that they would refuse to
meet with the United Mine Workers
this month to negotiate a new wage
scale and working agreement they
served notice, in effect, that they
were out to break up the miners'
union. Should they sticceed it would
mean that the miners*of these two
fields would be reduced to the level
of the wretched non-union miners
of West Virginia.
"In announcing their refusal to
meet with the miners and work out
a new agreement to take effect April
1, these operators deliberately vio-
lated their written contract with the
minors, which they signed in New-
York, March 31, 1920.
"One of the excuses the operators
gave was that the miners would de-
mand an increase in wages and
therefore a conference would be use-
less. The miners did nothing of
the kind. They ask that the present
scale be continued in effect another
two years. They did not earn a liv-
ing under the present scale in 1921,
but they pin their faith to a revival
of industry in the next two years.

Great Insurance Companies
Withdraw Funds.
By Federated Press.
ALBANY, N. Y., March 20.—The
housing shortage in New York City
is getting worse—so much so that
the city may at any moment find
itself in the grip of a terrible plague.
The chief reason for this condition
is the fact that the great insurance
companies, with tho exception of the
Metropolitan Life Insurance Co.,
have withdrawn their funds from the
loan market, some of them even hav-
ing gone so far as to call for pay-
ment on outstanding real estate
loans, "thus adding to the demorali-
zation and discouragement of the
real estate market at the most criti-
cal time in its history."
Such are the outstanding declara-
tions of the first comprehensive re-
port made to the legislature by the
Lockood committee investigating
housing conditions in the state.
Tho report proceeds with a ter-
rific indictment of the laws against
criminal combination. "Your commit-
tee," It says, "regrets to have to re-
port that It finds the legal machin-
ery for the enforcement of tho con-
spiracy laws against illegal combi-
nations to be inadequate both in the
stato and federal courts * * * In
point of fact, there has been no con-
centrated or systematic effort to en-
force these laws. They (illegal com-
bines) have grown so numerous and
powerful that it would require many
judges, prosecutors and investigators
and a decade of time to exterminate
them, if in fact they can now be ex-
terminated.''
Commenting on the prosecutions of
contractors which resulted from the
committee's investigations, the re-
port makes the following declara-
tion:
"The judges, both in state and fed-
eral courts, have almost consistenlly
treated this class of offenders with
tender consideration. In one case
the court expounded- the extraordi-
nary view that because of the busi-
ness and social station of these men
and the humiliation of being com-
pelled to plead guilty to a crime,
the imposition of comparatively small
fines upon them was a sufficient
punishment. There is no hope of
compelling obedience to these laws
or enforcing them so long as the
courts adopt this attitude."

kept iu stock by tho average drug
store.
